    **Chapter 567: Really Bad**


    Duncan’s brow furrowed as he regarded her, a mix of confusion and irritation crossing his face. With a dismissive shrug, he replied, “How should I know? After dinner, I took a stroll, returned to my room, and crashed. I have no idea if he ever came back.”


    Once more, silence enveloped the room, thick and suffocating.


    Henry’s expression darkened, his jaw tightening with unspoken tension.


    “What else do you know?” he barked, pivoting sharply to the shadowy figure lurking behind him.


    The person remained obscured in darkness, yet the glint of cold malice in their eyes was unmistakable.


    “It’s toote,” came the t response. “Steven already took him.”


    Henry’s face contorted in disbelief. “You told me Tess orchestrated this. She’s not capable of that. How could she even be aware of this factory’s existence?”


    “She’s not,” the figure sneered, their voice dripping with disdain. “But the people surrounding her are. Steven is a leading research expert. Histest drone prototype can scan through walls. Do you really think he wouldn’t be able to locate this ce?”


    Panic surged in Henry’s chest, tightening like a vice. “Then what am I supposed to do now?”


    The masked figure hesitated, their gaze drifting over to Duncan, scrutinizing him from head to toe.


    After a moment’s pause, they stepped closer, invading Duncan’s personal space. “You genuinely don’t know where he went?”


    Duncan twitched an ear, his curiosity piqued by the strange, diminutive figure.


    The voice—it sounded strangely feminine.


    He feigned indifference, expertly adopting the demeanor of a spoiled brat. “How would I know?” he retorted, hands nted defiantly on his hips, his voice rising to an exaggerated pitch. “I told you, I was asleep! He’s just some new hire. You expect me to babysit him all night?”


    Around them, the workers exchanged incredulous nces.


    They had witnessed Duncan’s cocky demeanor with his peers before; his uncle’s position in management often shielded him from repercussions. But to speak so brazenly to the boss himself? That was a different level of audacity.


    Jackson’s eyes darted nervously, and he rushed forward, eager to smooth over the situation. “Mr. Ember, please don’t take it personally. Duncan’s just a bit spoiled—I’ll set him straightter.”


    As he spoke, a wary nce was cast toward the short, masked figure.


    Henry’s foul mood was palpable, and Duncan’s insolence only added fuel to the fire.


    “Jackson, if you ever bring another idiot like this into my factory,” Henry growled, his voice low and dangerous, “you can pack your things and leave with him!”


    Duncan’s face flushed with indignation. “What’s his problem? Am I supposed to stay awake all night watching that guy? I can’t sleep unless he’s in the room?”


    “Shut up!” Jackson snapped, yanking Duncan by the arm, his frustration boiling over. “You don’t talk to Mr. Ember like that!”


    Duncan scowled but lowered his head, though defiance still flickered in his eyes.


    Henry pressed his fingers to his temples, feeling the weight of his growing frustrations. He had muchrger problems looming over him.


    “Steven only came here because Tess asked for his help,” the masked figure interjected, their voice low and sharp, cutting through the tension. “Now he’s gone. If you want to find him, your only lead is Tess.”


    Henry clenched his fists, frustration coursing through him. “What am I supposed to tell her? I can’t just appear out of nowhere!”


    The air hung heavy for a moment, the silence thickening.


    “That’s your problem,” the masked figure replied coldly, turning away. “Unless you want Tess to hold all the cards.”


    Henry froze, his teeth grinding together in anger, yet he knew they were right. He had no choice but to confront Tess.


    Fury boiled within him as he red across the factory floor, seething at the ineptitude of those around him who couldn’t even keep track of one man.


    If that masked figure hadn’t contacted him tonight, he would have remained oblivious to Nichs’s abduction until it was far toote.


    The sound of Henry’s knuckles cracking echoed ominously in the tense atmosphere. Jackson didn’t dare look up; sweat trickled down his forehead, each drop a reminder of the gravity of their situation.


    All he could think was that he hoped Steven wouldn’t forget about him and Hudson once this ordeal was over.


    Finally, when he mustered the courage to lift his gaze, he found that Henry and the masked figure had already vanished.


    With a sigh of relief, Jackson quickly pulled Duncan away from the area.


    “The factory’s covered in cameras,” Jackson said, his voice taut with urgency. “Henry was too furious to check right now, but once he does, we’re done for. You need to contact Steven—fast.”


    Under the flickering lights, sweat glistened on his forehead, a testament to his rising anxiety.


    Duncan’s stomach sank, a sinking feeling of dread settling in. He could sense the gravity of the situation. This was bad. Really bad.


    Jackson never got serious unless things were dire.


    “Got it,” Duncan said, nodding firmly. “I’ll call Steven as soon as I get back.”


    By the time he returned to the dorm and flicked on the light, less than three hours remained until dawn.


    He hesitated for a heartbeat, then decided to seize a few hours of sleep first.


    Morning arrived swiftly.


    The window had been left ajar, and a brisk breeze swept in, rousing him from his slumber.


    The instant he opened his eyes, he snatched his phone and dialed Steven’s number, anxiety coursing through him.Conclusion

The masked figure’s words echoed in his mind, a stark warning that Tess now held the upper hand.
