The tactical success on the west side played a crucial role in creating a containment zone within the warehouse. Now, the focus shifted to the third division tasked with breaching the south wall.Amidst the chaos of the firefight, the third division moved with purpose, carrying with them a formidable weapon — an RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade).

They wanted to keep their captive safe and get out of the bad place.One of the Blade in Shadows people carried Mr. Benedict and put him in a van.

Pamela waited for a few seconds, then the door opened. She saw a man standing in front of her, a man who looked like Stanley, but also looked different. He looked older, thinner, and grayer than his old Polaroid, he had wrinkles on his face, bags under his eyes, and a stubble on his chin. He wore a faded shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of slippers.

Stanley asked as he glanced up from his door,"I'm here to ask you about an article you wrote, almost twenty-three years ago, about some missing child in the capital," Pamela answered, her expression composed."About time someone asks about the missing boy found in the royal palace before the royal family went missing.
