I will never forget that scene—not for as long as I live.
Never. It will remain lodged within my chest like a dagger, forever reminding me—

of my helplessness…

That is why my treasure was taken from me so easily.
That is why the girl—the only person who truly mattered to me—had to suffer as she did.
When all the teams finally regrouped, we realized—just as expected—that we had been targeted from the very beginning and deliberately separated from each other. It had to be that man with instantaneous teleportation; he was the one who split us apart. Yet it seemed his ability wasn't powerful enough to send everyone far away… which meant he couldn't have escaped very far himself.
I didn't waste time explaining anything. I climbed into Henry's car and ordered him to drive—fast—while I used my ability to track Rosalia's location.
