Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1986

"Sorry to bother you," Raiden said coolly, before he spun on his heel and led his team away from the mansion.

Huff was waiting outside for him. "Did you pick up any leads from Alvis, Mr. Raiden?"

Raiden's face was a mask of frustration. "Do you really believe, Mr. Huff, that Alvis came to Zion for the so-called new energy project?"

Huff's expression remained unreadable. "Not sure, it's hard to say!"

With a piercing gaze, Raiden challenged him, "Where were you, Mr. Huff, when the 49th floor went up in flames?"

"I sent people as soon as the alarm went off," Huff replied evenly. "The security breach was unfortunate, and I will have to explain it to the Dragon Sphere."

Before Raiden could respond, his phone rang. The moment he glanced at the caller ID, his expression darkened, and he answered, "Boss!"

Triceratops's voice was laced with shock and anger. "I just heard the news. The 49th floor was bombed?"

Raiden shot Huff a meaningful look and confirmed grimly, "It was."

Knowing that all the research was destroyed in an instant, Triceratops's anger bubbled over, and his voice was strained with fury. "Did you catch whoever did it?"

"No," Raiden replied, with his brow furrowed.

"With all the years of effort and manpower we invested into that lab, it was all blown up and you didn't catch a single culprit!" Triceratops exploded. "Raiden, you're getting more incompetent by the day!"

They were on the cusp of achieving a breakthrough with their virus research, which would have netted them a fortune. Now, all that effort had gone to waste.

"I'll get to the bottom of this," Raiden said with a menacing edge to his voice.

"You'd better!" Triceratops barked. "It was supposed to spread to Country C. Start by vetting every person from there in Zion; no one is above suspicion!"

Raiden's voice was icy. "Rest assured, I won't let anyone off the hook."

After ending the call, Raiden strode out. "What about that Rella? Any updates?"

Huff nodded. "We've checked it. Lambert claimed she was with him all night."

"Who was the first to enter the lab?"
