Chapter 2022: Revealing Her True Face
On the shore of South Ind, several figures dressed in ck diving suits emerged from the water,
securing their hooks on the rocks and beginning to climb upwards. The submarine that brought
them had already returned to its original location, maintaining a safe distance. Once on the rocks,
the darkness was almost suffocating, with little visibility.
Removing their diving gear and hiding it in the crevices of the rocks, they prepared to blend in upon
their return. As they gathered in a spacious area of the rocks, suddenly, a dozen or so people
emerged from the concealed rock formations, surrounding them in an instant. The ck-d
individuals looked at each other in shock, their eyes the only visible sign of fear. Their mission was
meant to remain covert, but they were apprehended as soon as theynded.

One of them, a slender figure, fell to the ground with a thud. "Oh my, " shemented, a voice that
sounded vaguely familiar, belonging to a middle-aged woman. Aaron, along with his elite guard, all
Special Forces and military veterans, bellowed, "You are surrounded! Drop your weapons!"
As his guard advanced upon hismand, the ck-d individuals begrudgingly gave up their
weapons. "Take off your masks and strip off your night gear, " Aaronmanded. The ck-d
individuals exchanged nces before reaching into their waistbands and swiftly ingesting
something, sending them into a frenzy of convulsions and pain before sumbing to the effects of
the poison within a minute''s time.
Luther, emerging from the shadows, suddenly shouted, "They''re trying to take their own lives!" With
a swift leap, he targeted the slender figure who, moments before, had let out a cry of despair. He
quickly disarmed her, preventing her from self-inflicting harm. She was restrained by two guards,
rendered immobilized.
As the others drank the poison and writhed in agony, it was evident that Luther''s quick thinking had
possibly saved any further casualties. As Luther approached her, Aaron trailed behind him, while
Anderson and Kane emerged from the rocks. Anderson, taken aback, was the first to exim,
"Elsa, how could it be you?" The impossible truth was staring him in the face, for Elsa Hurley had
always been kind to them, their grandmother''s distant rtive. He couldn''t fathom how this could be
possible. Nheless, Luther was not as surprised. Bringing her to the light, he confronted Elsa,
"So, it''s you. You''ve disappointed the Dais again."
Exposed under the scrutiny of the shlight, Elsa''s face had contorted with pain and turmoil. With
tears streaming down her cheeks, she begged for forgiveness, admitting her deceit and expressing
remorse. "I''m sorry, Mr. Warner. I''ve failed you and the Dais. Please, let me die in atonement."
Luther maintained hisposure, demanding an exnation for her betrayal. Elsa''s tearful plea
revealed her guilt but fell short of disclosing the deeper reasons for her actions. Luther calmly
exined how he had uncovered her treachery, leaving her stunned by the realization of her folly.
Bearing witness to Elsa''s unraveling truth, Anderson was bewildered by the revtion, while Luther
showed little surprise. "Elsa, you believed your actions were faultless, but in truth, no n is
wless. Your role as the steward allowed you ess to the outside world, enabling you to ry
our movements. But upon investigating the home and surroundingmunications, I found no
evidence of any outside messages. There was only one possibility - someone outside was aiding
you. The Dais remained indoors for the most part, leaving you as the sole outsider. I allowed you to
land here, thinking you had seeded, but little did you know, I had arranged for you to return
home under the guise of housekeeping. Knowing your impatience, I knew you would attempt to
return here, revealing your true intentions."
Elsa, feeling the weight of her betrayal, pleaded for forgiveness, her body racked with sobs as
Luther''s stoic resolve exposed her falsehood.
