"We've found it! We've found it!" Adler suddenly shouted, and everyone rushed over to where he was pointing. It was an old, rusty chain, and whatever lay beneath it gave off an unsettling vibe.
"I'll handle this!" Angelo jumped in, joining Adler as they both yanked at the chain with all their might. The chain seemed to grow larger as they pulled, and soon, the ground shifted to reveal a hole about three square meters wide. "What is this?" Sandy asked, pointing at the large hole in the ground.

Sophie nodded, and Colby pulled out a flashlight he'd brought along. Everyone followed him down the old staircase.

"BOSS..." Timothy began, but before he could finish, the man smacked him across the face. "You idiot!"
More people rushed in, encircling James and his group in no time. The man locked eyes with James, who En frowned back in confusion.
Colby's team was supposed to have blocked the outsiders, so how had this happened? "Mr. Burke, long tno see."
From the throng, Odie and Jonah emerged, with Odie giving a coldm mocking grin. "I'm here to settle a score."
