Eugene pulled down his sleeve and pressed a button on his watch and 3 guys walked in, one had his face covered with a white hat, the other was very big and muscular with an afro and the last one was a tall blonde guy wearing a white mask.

The three men entered the room, each one bringing a different kind of intimidation with them. The man with the white hat obscured his face, giving him an air of anonymity. The muscular man with the afro exuded raw strength, his size and build suggesting he could overpower just about anyone. The tall blonde with the white mask was equally unsettling, his mask hiding any expression or intention.

Eugene turned to them and said, "Handle her. I want her secured and ready for my experiments."

The men moved toward you with a calculated precision, each step echoing the gravity of the situation. The room felt smaller and more claustrophobic as they approached, and your heart raced.

Your push sent the men stumbling backward, their surprise momentarily giving you some breathing room. As you tried to steady yourself, the dizziness from using so much mana made it difficult to focus. You felt weak, and your vision blurred slightly, but you knew you had to act quickly.

Eugene's face twisted into a mix of frustration and amusement. "You're stronger than I anticipated. But it seems you have exhausted yourself."

Despite your exhaustion, you forced yourself to stay alert. The men were regrouping, and you needed to find a way out before they could overpower you. You darted toward the exit and ran as fast as you have ever ran. But you ended up being blocked by Samuel.

You hesitated for a moment, wary of Samuel's intentions, but his gesture was clear. Taking a deep breath, you darted past him, heading for the exit. As you reached the door, you glanced back to see Samuel watching you intently, his expression unreadable.

You burst into the hallway, determined to find an escape route. The dimly lit corridor seemed endless, but you pushed through, focusing on your goal: freedom.

As soon as you leave you see Goo's car nearby so you start waving and jumping. As you starting running towards his car you felt a bullet go through your leg and thats when you felt your body drop.

The pain was overwhelming as the bullet pierced through your leg, the world spinning as you let out an ear piercing scream grabbing your leg in pain.
You collapsed to the ground your vision blurring. The sound of your heartbeat echoed in your ears as you struggled to stay conscious, desperately trying to focus on Goo's car in the distance.

The last sensation you felt was the rough grip of hands dragging you into a van, the cold metal floor pressing against your skin. Then, everything went black.

Goo had witnessed the entire thing happen before him. Without hesitation, he slammed his foot on the gas pedal, the tires screeching as his car surged forward. His mind raced, adrenaline coursing through his veins.

He weaved through traffic at breakneck speed, his eyes locked on the van ahead. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles white, as he pushed the car to its limits. The distance between him and the van slowly began to close, but the thought of what they might do to you spurred him to drive even faster.

The van took a sharp turn, nearly losing Goo, but he skillfully maneuvered his car, following closely behind. He wasn't going to let them get away. Not with you.

Goo's frustration boiled over as the van disappeared from his sight. He slammed his fist against the steering wheel, cursing under his breath. He couldn't believe he had lost you. Without wasting another second, he grabbed his phone and called Gun.

"Gun, I need your help," Goo's voice was tense, a mixture of anger and desperation.

Gun, on the other end of the line, remained calm. "What is it"

"They took her," Goo replied, his voice low and seething. "I lost the van, but I'm not giving up. I need you to track them down, fast."

Gun sighed, though there was a sense of urgency in his tone. "Send me everything you have—the direction they were heading, any details on the van. I'll get my people on it."

Goo quickly relayed all the information, his mind still racing. The moment the call ended, he knew it was only a matter of time before they would find you. But every second that passed felt like an eternity, and he couldn't stand the thought of what might be happening to you while they searched.

His grip tightened around his phone as he silently vowed to make whoever took you pay.
