Karla flashed her flashlight into it, and froze.
'W-what…'
Her heart trembled as the realization slammed into her.
Everything suddenly made sense. Why the Tendrix were using this building. Why this cake was here. What their plan was.
'I have to warn the Ninth Vein.'
Karla had barely turned when a voice reached her ears.
"Who are you?"
The grip on her dagger tightened as her heart sank. She turned, and her gaze landed on the figure of a man.
Pitch black hair. Tanned brown skin. A ripped and bulky frame.
But above all, it was the man's aura that made Karla freeze.
'A Synergy-stage evolver!' she thought in dread.
The man regarded Karla for a second, frowning when he got no answer.
"Are you deaf?" he said.
Karla crouched lower, gripping her dagger tighter. Her cold eyes made her seem like a viper about to erupt.
But the scene only made the man chuckle.
"All right then. I guess there'll be enough time to ask questions."
