Thanks to the tunnel formed by the roots, Apex Ace and Doctor Druid reached the third underground basement floor in mere seconds—completely unnoticed.
According to Dame Wasp's research, the holding cells started from this level. The lower the floor, the higher the tier of the cursed criminals. But Beyton was no ordinary detainee—he was a distinguished bureau agent. Out of professional courtesy, he hadn't been locked away on the eighth underground floor with the other Sky-tier prisoners. Instead, he was placed here, among the Mortal-tier detainees.
"Morph into Elinor," Ace ordered Doctor Druid.
If they were going to step onto the third floor without getting shot on sight, they needed a cover. Even though Elinor was currently suspended, she was still a McSuile. That name had to count for something.
Without hesitation, Doctor Druid shifted into Elinor's form. Ace gave a quick nod, then gestured for her to clear the way to the emergency stairwell's door.
