Carly gasped in shock and quickly grabbed Adam's arm. "Adam, where are you going?"

Adam's voice was firm. "I'm going back. Celine is still in there."

Carly's expression darkened. "Adam, you're seriously going back to save Celine?"

Adam pulled his arm free from her grip. "I would never leave Celine behind."

With that, he turned and strode away.

Carly panicked and tried to stop him. "Adam, my heart hurts... I feel faint... I think I'm really going to pass out."

But no matter how much she cried out, Adam didn't stop.

Adam rushed back into the warehouse, only to find the scarred man and his black-clad henchmen sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

Celine was gone.

Adam immediately grabbed the scarred man by the collar. "Where is she?"

The scarred man clutched his eyes, writhing in agony. "She ran! That little witch somehow untied herself without us noticing. When we got close, she threw some kind of powder at us. Damn it! My eyes! It burns like hell! I think I'm going blind!"

The henchmen were also rolling on the ground, suffering from whatever Celine had used on them.

Adam's eyes darkened. He sprinted toward the window.
