"Hurry up! Find them!" Valen shouted.
Monica was confused and immediately asked, "What's going on, Captain? Maybe they're just resting in one of the rooms."
Valen glanced at Monica, his gaze so sharp it filled her with fear.
It was the first time Monica had ever seen that look from Valen—cold and brimming with killing intent.
She didn't understand why, but her heart suddenly ached, as if a needle had just pierced through it.
Though that look only lasted for less than a second, Monica had seen it—and it etched itself deeply into her heart.
She couldn't understand why Valen had looked at her like that. Did she say something wrong?
Valen gritted his teeth and said, "I… I'm afraid they're in danger. Hurry, go find them."
With that, he immediately turned and led everyone back toward the main house.
Monica stood behind, slow to move, her eyes filled with confusion and worry as she watched Valen's retreating back.
