Hunting for Shade (12)

After leaving the Shadow's Market, the group made their way to their flying car.

Their next destination was clear: Gabriel's villa, which Erik saw through the man's memories.

"I expect a lot of resistance there," he said, reflecting on Gabriel's role as the puppet leader of the underworld.

"Even if he's technically under Shade, Gabriel's power is undeniable. It is very unlikely that the place is not massively guarded, and I bet those guards are not weak."

Camille nodded in agreement. "Entering that place won't be easy. So, what will be our approach?"

"If June and I go alone, we could easily take the onyx sculpture and leave," he said.

They did this missions several times, there wasn't a place where they hadn't been able to enter yet.

The proposal was met with immediate skepticism. "Are you out of your mind?" Camille said.
