Chapter 676:
On the other end of her earpiece, Gordon's voice rang with a hint of impatience. “You're still enjoying coffee,
Allison? We're all on edge, and those four by the lab door haven't budged.” The space in front of the lab was
narrow, and if the four guards didn’t clear out soon, Allison wouldn't be able to use Rowan’s fingerprint to unlock
the door. “Relax, I've got a plan.”
Casually, she took another iced coffee from the fridge, placed it in the microwave, set the timer for three

Kellan, sharp and unflinching in a crisis, responded without delay. Instantly, the entire research facility plunged
into darkness. In the sbreath, the surveillance screens in front of Gordon went pitch black.
Amya’s voice trembled slightly. “What now?”
She had been tracking the movements of others for Allison. Just as she spotted Jareth bolting from his office, the
screens went dark, making her heart skip a beat.
Gordon kept a level head, though his fists clenched in reflex. “Relax. If | were the brains behind this lab, I'd have
