One of the task force agents had reported a potential sighting of one of Oliver's henchmen.Adonis's curiosity piqued, and he immediately inquired about how the agents had identified the henchman.

The task force agents gathered in a dimly lit room, their whispers and hushed conversations creating a low buzz of anticipation. They exchanged glances filled with curiosity, wondering why Prince Adonis had summoned them.When Adonis entered the hall, his expression stern and unfriendly, a hushed silence fell over the room, and all eyes turned toward him. He scrutinized them for a few moments before finally breaking the silence. His voice carried an undercurrent of disappointment. "I know asking will like not do a thing but I will do it nonetheless, now do any of you know who betrayed us? Who led us into that treacherous trap?" His gaze moved from face to face.A collective "no" resonated through the room, the agents' voices filled with uncertainty. Adonis's disappointment was obvious.
