Still, Katelyn remained cautious. She moved along the edges, keeping her presence as inconspicuous as possible. The closer she got to the T Organization’s territory, the more dangerous it became.
Despite the better roads and structures, the sight ahead was far from reassuring. Men and women, young and old, lay scattered across the streets—drug users, barely conscious, lost in their own worlds.
Katelyn’s frown deepened. Was the King really this lenient toward the T Organization? She hadn’t investigated Yata’s political climate in depth before. But now, seeing this firsthand, she grasped the extent of the corruption.
Jaxen’s voice cut in suddenly. “You’re close. The small villa ahead—it’s your target.”
Katelyn’s gaze snapped forward. Among the surrounding decay, a two-story villa stood out. It didn’t look new. Judging by its worn structure, it had been there for years, not just months.
Her sharp eyes caught movement—streams of addicts slipping toward the villa’s entrance. She continued forward, frowning.
Jaxen’s voice dropped lower. “Be careful. I suspect that villa is their drug trafficking den.”
Katelyn didn’t just suspect it. She was certain. But she kept that thought to herself. Her eyes flicked to the back of the villa, assessing possible entry points. “Sync the surveillance feed to my phone,” she ordered.
If she was going in, she needed to see everything. If she got caught, she wouldn’t be walking out.
Jaxen immediately grasped Katelyn’s intentions and was already in motion as soon as she issued her commands.
Shortly after, Katelyn felt her phone buzz. She discreetly pulled out her device, checked the screen, and moved to a spot away from prying electronic eyes.

The location was next to the backyard wall. Here, several massive trees obscured the view, creating a perfect blind spot.
Katelyn surveyed the scene briefly before climbing a branch. She confirmed the absence of anyone in the yard before descending. Her approach was nimble. Once on the ground, she stealthily bypassed further surveillance.
Security measures around the villa were stringent. Yet, with Jaxen’s assistance, these precautions were no match for Katelyn.
Inside, the villa buzzed with people in lab coats—not doctors, but scientists engaged in drug research.
A cold glance passed through Katelyn as she observed the high-grade materials. The sheer quantity on the first floor alone hinted at massive potential profits. This revealed the extensive reach of the T Organization in drug trafficking.
Armed security guards patrolled the area, a common sight in this operation.
Initially, Katelyn had only intended to explore, but her curiosity was ignited by what she found on the first floor. This drove her to investigate further and head to the second floor. Dodging the guards, she moved stealthily upstairs, with Jaxen skillfully manipulating the surveillance feed to cover her movements.
