I'm confused

Fighting even against someone with subpar skill was still exhausting, especially when there were many of them. Each body that fell at Mark's feet sent another wave of urgency to finish this all at once. He needed to see someone he knew first — anyone.

It didn't matter whether it was Penny, Benjamin, Slater, or Mint.

At this point, he had wishful thinking. That while fighting all these men, he would stumble upon them in a room. It was why, whenever he got the time, he would check some rooms — sometimes, throwing his enemy into the doors to force them open. Multitasking.

But Mark was not ready to see what he had just walked into.

Standing by the door, Mark came to a complete halt the second he kicked it open. He was told by one of the guys he fought with that this was the way, before Mark knocked him out. Who would have thought that person was telling the truth?
