?Chapter 1605 Ominous ce


    "What''s going on?" Elsie nced across the table.


    Seeing this, Wynter immediately ced a hand on her forehead. As though she was sumbing to the sudden drug effects, she copsed on the table, too.


    Only then did Elsie narrow her eyes, revealing her true identity. She wasn''t a selected candidate at all-she was also one of Nexus Corporation''s staff. She had to put up such an act today because of the disheveled woman just now.


    "I''ve told you many times to keep an eye on her. Since you can''t, I''ll just have to let them sleep for a bit."


    As Elsie spoke, Mnie came back in with a ttering smile. "You always know what to do."


    "Check their phones and see who''s been contacting their parents beforeing here. Make sure to check the chat logs thoroughly-don''t leave out anything this time."


    Elsie''s actions were swift. It was clear that she was no stranger to human trafficking.


    As she spoke, the lounge transformed, revealing a full set of electronic devices. There were signal jammers,work disruptors, and surveince screens.


    At that moment, Wyntery motionless on the table, as if she were truly unconscious.


    No one would suspect the students anyway. The employees were used to handling the monthly batch of captives. What would these students even know?


    As the most vignt among them, Elsie patted Wynter''s face with a folder. "Is this that rare find? She wasn''t eating anything earlier, and I thought she was onto us.


    "Who knew she''d ended up picking the juice with the strongest dose? Not bad-she''s saving us a lot of trouble."


    "What about the rest? How should we handle them?" Mnie asked.


    Elsie nced at the surveince cameras. "Keep the suitable ones. Give the others a checkup and take photos of them. Send them to our clients and see if they''re interested.


    "If not, they''re in luck. They''ll get to study abroad with their schrships. We need people to maintain our reputation, after all."


    In other words, some had their wishes granted indeed-they got to receive schrships and pursue their studies overseas. Yet, these weren''t done by Nexus Corporation out of goodwill. It was to cover up their shady crimes.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    There were still a dozen girls outside, but the drugged ones were at risk the most here. Where would they end up being sent to?


    Wynter''s mind raced she had to be faster and get a hold of their next step. From the moment she stepped into the lounge, she knew that the "second round of interviews" was nonexistent.


    She held her sugilite pendant firmly. Other than her phone strapped to her thigh, this was the only thing that belonged to her.


    Given the current situation, Wynter would be exposed if she turned her phone on. She summoned Leo without hesitation.


    As soon as Leo emerged, he said, "Master, something''s wrong here-my aura''s being suppressed. This ce is too dangerous. You have to leave now!"


    This was the first time he had felt fear. Standing beside Wynter, his face had gone pale. "Such terrifying power..." Non-cultivators were unable to see resentful wraiths. Those monitoring the surveince cameras merely felt a


    chill.


    Even Elsie frowned, instructing, "Turn down the air conditioning. Quick, get Dr. Masons to check up on the four, especially the rare find. Make sure she''s perfectly untainted."
