The Red Lotus Lounge (8)

Erik and the others moved with precision and speed, their footsteps barely making a sound as they crept toward the door behind Matthew and his men.

They did what they could to prepare for the rescue, but not much could have been done due to the situation.

Erik nodded to Anderson's father as they reached the door, who kicked it open with a loud bang. The sudden noise startled Matthew and his men, causing them to turn around in surprise.

The Red Palace students, who were standing in front of the crowds of men and women employed by Matthew, were equally surprised to see Erik and the others burst into the room.

Their eyes widened in shock as they realized that the awakener had managed to save their family and was now here to rescue them as promised, and with reinforcements too.
