Seeing his reaction, Katelyn could guess it wasn’t somewhere people wanted to end up. She didn’t press for details and instead focused on the security system. She had already cracked it and covered her tracks perfectly. It would take the T Organization a while to realize they’d been hacked.

But just as Katelyn started digging into the internal files, her fingers froze over the keyboard.

Pointing at the screen, Katelyn told Vincent, “Tell Samuel and his men to stop immediately! They’ll fall right into a trap if they move any further!”

The T Organization had done a good job hiding the trap. Most people wouldn’t notice it in time. Even Katelyn only discovered it because of the surveillance footage.

Samuel heard Katelyn’s orders through his Bluetooth earpiece and instantly signaled his men to stop in their tracks, which they did.

A wave of relief washed over Katelyn. After that, she took a Bluetooth earpiece from Vincent and wore it in her ear. She closely watched the courtyard’s surveillance and guided Samuel and his men. “To the left. It seems like a cliff, but there’s a stone path buried in the grass at the very edge.”

Samuel didn’t respond to Katelyn with words. Instead, he signaled to his men, who understood the message and moved in the direction Katelyn had given them. They soon reached the spot and saw that no path was in sight. Falling from the cliff would mean certain death.

However, they found a patch of green grass covered in stones at the cliff’s edge. They would have never noticed it if Katelyn hadn’t told them.

Samuel pulled the grass aside to reveal the stone path. Everyone gasped collectively. If Katelyn hadn’t been able to access the surveillance feed, they would never have found this path.

They didn’t dare to speak, as they didn’t know how far or close they were from the courtyard. Any sound they made could alert the people in the courtyard. And if that were to happen, their entire team would be doomed. They were well aware of how dangerous the T Organization was. The bombing of that slum was a clear demonstration of that.

Samuel and his men held their breaths as they inched their way up.

Katelyn gave directions to Samuel’s team and also swapped out the courtyard’s security footage to keep them safe. She ensured no one could spot them.

As she worked the feeds, she realized the courtyard was some kind of research base—one that had to do with medical experiments. She leaned in closer to get a better look at the equipment.

She suddenly recalled Sophia telling her about the T Organization’s intention to research an elixir of immortality, a fabled brew promising eternal life. Katelyn had…

Katelyn had laughed it off back then, as it sounded completely absurd. Who, in their right state of mind, would do research on that?

However, now that she saw the equipment with her own eyes, she realized Sophia had been telling the truth.

Katelyn gasped in shock. She whispered to Vincent, “T is really trying to live forever.”

She had earlier relayed Sophia’s words to him, so he caught on almost instantly. Pointing at the computer screen, he asked, “What’s this?”
