Jessica ascended from the basement and proceeded up the stairs. Within the expansive corridor, Yudel and Steven found themselves trapped by numerous well-trained bodyguards, leaving them with no means of escape.
Observing the scene, Jessica navigated through the bodyguards until she stood in the center. She locked eyes with Yudel and spoke icily, "And where are you going? To find that Jade!"
Yudel glanced at Jessica, realizing she had likely discovered Jade's true identity.

Yudel responded with indifference, "So, you bore me and raised me solely to be at your mercy, a mere tool for your power struggles?"
