Surprise attack

The air inside the dilapidated building was thick with a sense of danger as Velian, his grip firm on the captured woman's arm, realized that it was no longer safe to question her there.

He had tons of questions to ask from her, but if by some mistake she die became of his carelessness, Velian knew it would be disastrous.

The decaying walls and creaking floorboards seemed to whisper their warnings to him. He needed to find a more secure location, away from prying eyes.

Velian turned his piercing gaze towards his trusted companions, Daphnia and Kyla, who stood at a distance, watching his every move. Their expressions mirrored his own concern, recognizing the imminent peril.

Ellena and her brother were not allowed to see the torture because they were still not used to it, so Kyla and Daphnia both asked them to remain in the next room until they finish their work.

"We cannot stay here any longer," Velian exclaimed, his voice tense with urgency. "This place is compromised."
