Almost everyone in the elevator used their abilities. The strength of these abilities was low, but nearly everyone had one!
Immediately, the female zombie at the front was pummeled with a barrage of attacks, leaving it charred.
What surprised Theresa the most wasn’t that nearly everyone in the elevator had powers, but the person who was the first to use a lightning–based ability.
It was Lucas–he had a lightning–based ability! And his power was clearly stronger than anyone else’s.
That was a rare power!
Thunk!
The elevator door finally closed.
As the door shut, everyone inside visibly rxed. They had just survived a terrifying close call–who wouldn’t feel a little relieved?
Monica, too, calmed down. She turned to re at Theresa. “What did you just do to me?!”
Her voice sent a chill through everyone in the elevator, especially Graham and the others.
They felt a sudden tension.
<i>No</i>, <i>no</i><i>, </i><i>no</i><i>. </i><i>Don’t </i><i>provoke </i><i>Theresa</i><i>!</i><i>She’s </i><i>the </i><i>evil </i><i>queen</i><i>! </i>
<i>She’s </i><i>really </i><i>not </i><i>someone </i><i>to </i><i>mess </i>with<i>! </i><i>Wasn’t </i><i>it </i><i>you </i><i>who </i><i>told </i><i>her </i><i>dogs </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>out </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>first </i><i>ce</i><i>? </i>
They watched as Theresa heard Monica’s question, her dark, beautiful eyes glimmering, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a slight smile.
Graham and the others stiffened even more. <i>Uh</i><i>–</i><i>oh</i>. <i>Monica </i><i>really </i><i>messed </i><i>with </i><i>her </i>this <i>time</i>. <i>Please</i><i>, </i><i>don’t </i><i>make </i><i>things </i><i>worse</i><i>! </i><i>We’re </i><i>begging </i><i>you</i><i>! </i>
At that moment, a deep, cold male voice spoke. “Monica!”
Lucas sensed the tense atmosphere in the cramped elevator. His face turned cold, and his tone dropped to an icy level. It was nothing like the way Theresa had ever heard him speak before.
He was usually pretty polite, but now, his tone was clearlyced with impatience.
“Lucas!” Monica turned to him the moment he spoke, trying to justify herself. “You saw what she just did! She tried to kick me out—she was/going to get me killed! She almost got all of us killed!”
“Let’s go up first. Swipe your card,” he demanded, tapping the elevator panel.
They were still stuck on the basement floor, and in order to get the elevator moving, they needed to swipe a card.
Theresa now understood why her attempt to exit earlier didn’t work. After selecting the floor, she needed

to swipe a card.
“No! Go to the second basement!” Monica shouted.

Lucas furrowed his brows, clearly annoyed. “Monica, we’ve already lost too much today. We weren’t prepared. Let’s leave ande backter.”
He looked tired. They had lost a fewrades today–though not from his team–it still bothered him.
This operation had been reckless<b>. </b>
They weren’t ready, and they had lost their weapons.
He didn’t want to risk any more.
And besides, Theresa and her group were still here.
He at least had to get them safely out first.
“No!” Monica pushed forward, swiping her card in front of the elevator panel. The buttons lit up. “The second basement is definitely where the target is–and it has to be safe! We just picked the wrong floor earlier,” she insisted firmly. “And don’t forget, on this mission, you’re the ones supporting us<b>.</b><b>” </b>
She nced at Theresa, then looked seriously at Lucas.
“We have to take the thing! If we don’t do so now, who knows what danger we’ll faceter! Lucas<b>, </b>swipe your card!”
Lucas tightened his lips and stared coldly at the woman in front of him.
Two secondster, he pulled another card from his pocket.
Beep!
Both cards were swiped.
The elevator panel in front of Theresa lit up with a new button.
It was the second basement.
She raised an eyebrow.
<i>Another </i>floor? <i>This </i><i>pharmaceutical </i><i>research </i><i>facility </i><i>really </i><b><i>has </i></b><i>secrets</i><i>! </i>
It took two administrator cards just to unlock this hidden floor.
Her gaze deepened. <i>This </i><i>ce </i><i>is </i><i>definitely </i><i>more </i>than it <i>seems</i><i>–</i>it <i>might </i><i>even </i><i>be</i><i>… </i>
At that moment, she met someone’s gaze.
Lucas, standing at the front near the elevator controls, looked back at her. “We’ll take you up after we finish what we need to do,” he said.

Theresa locked eyes with him. “But what if something happens to you? How will we get up?”

“You’ll follow us to the grave,” Monica answered with a mocking smile. “You shouldn’t havee in here in the first ce!”
