The Enchantress's Treasure

Chapter 8: The Rival Hunters

In a sleek, high-tech office filled with the latest equipment, a rich woman named Victoria Blackwell sat at the helm. Victoria was no ordinary treasure hunter; she led a gang of goons, her reputation built on ruthless efficiency and technological prowess. Years ago, her gang had overheard whispers about an ancient treasure hidden by the Willington family, and they had been tracking the first location, Whispering Woods, ever since.
Victoria’s office buzzed with activity. Her two trusted companions, a strong and imposing woman named Helena and a brilliant hacker named Max, were busy at their stations. Helena was a formidable presence, her strength and combat skills unmatched. Max, on the other hand, was a tech genius, always surrounded by multiple screens displaying various data streams.
"Any updates, Max?" Victoria asked, her eyes sharp and focused.
Max nodded, his fingers flying over the keyboard. "Yes, we’ve been monitoring the manor, and it seems the Willington descendants, Chloe and Emma, are onto something. They’ve deciphered part of the riddle and are planning to head to Prague."
Victoria leaned forward, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Perfect. We’ll follow them closely. Make sure they don’t see us coming."
Max activated a drone, its sleek form rising silently into the air. The drone provided a live feed of the manor, showing Chloe, Emma, Sophie, and their new ally, Liam, as they prepared for their journey.

"Helena, you’ll come with me," Victoria commanded. "Max, you stay here and keep us updated on their movements."
Helena nodded her expression stoic. "Understood."
The drone hovered silently above the manor, capturing every move the group made. Max listened intently to their conversations, feeding information to Victoria through a secure channel.
"They’re planning to leave early tomorrow," Max informed. “Looks like they’ll head to the Charles Bridge first."
Victoria smirked. "We’ll be ready. Let’s make sure they don’t get too far ahead."
As the group at the manor settled in for the night, Victoria and Helena prepared their own plans. They had all the advantages of technology on their side, and they intended to use every tool at their disposal to stay one step ahead of Chloe and Emma.
The next morning, as Chloe, Emma, Sophie, and Liam embarked on their journey, they remained blissfully unaware of the shadowy figures tracking their every move. The hunt for the Enchantress's treasure had truly begun, and the stakes were higher than ever
