Wesley suddenly remembered, many years ago, he and Rasheta were at the sschool, drawn to each other,
in mutual admiration and love. Back then, the world seemed beautiful through his eyes.
Whether it was under the sun or moonlight, day or night, every moment was precious.
But his father told him that the Tredgold family had its own grand ambitions, and as the heir, he had to shoulder
the responsibilities that cwith it. Marrying Mona, the coldness of their wedding night, leading to the silent
tolerance between husband and wife.
None of it was by choice.
Decades seemed to flash by in his mind like a passing glance.
Only then did he realize.
How precious love and affection truly were.
He had it once.
But discarded it all for ambition.

Elodie shouted, "This place is collapsing! Find the exit, quick!"
Without hesitation, they all headed towards the highest platform above.
The chair seemed unremarkable, but Sophie's attention shifted to Reece.
Reece was breathless, yet his index finger pointed towards a large sun emblem behind the seat.
Holding back her sorrow, Sophie said, "That sun emblem, it's the switch for the exit!"
Hearing this, Kiran was the first to touch the sun, quickly realizing it was a lever. A gentle twist, and an escape
passage appeared right below them. "Go!"
Protecting Sophie, Colby and the group immediately headed down the stairs.
They found themselves in an underground passage, filled with the sexotic stones they had seen in the Adler
residence.
The corridor stretched far with no visible end.
Above, the mountain began to collapse, but this place remained unaffected.
"It smells amazing here."
Supporting Adler, Jenna said, "The scent here is so strong."
"These stones themselves are fragrant; we have sat htoo," Odie remarked out of the blue.
Bearing the pain, Adler retorted, "Brother, have you no common sense? Are those stones at home? They're damn
aromatherapy."
Odie's expression darkened.
"Let's not dwell on it, we should keep moving. Surely, there won't be traps in the escape route, right?"
Adler's face turned pale, and Jenna suggested, "I should dress your wound first. If we don't treat this penetrating
injury properly, it could lead to serious problems."
Sophie also said, "I think Jenna is right. It looks safe here; dressing the wound won't take long."
"I've brought coagulant powder."
Elodie handed the medicine to Jenna.
Jenna quickly tended to Adler's wound.

Sophie observed their surroundings.
The corridor was spacious, not seeming like a recent construction, but rather like something built decades ago.
It appeared this place had been prepared long in advance.
And these stones were treasures collected by the Tredgold family over the last century.
Shining her flashlight around, Sophie noticed at the entrance they had cthrough, six words carved into a
black stone: "Stone of Rebirth, Bridge of Sighs."
Seeing this, Sophie smiled.
The ancestors of the Tredgold family were quite superstitious.
"This is the initiation path for core members of The Silent Shadows, hidden right here."
Gordon suddenly spoke, causing Sophie to freeze for a moment.
