Time passed by slowly as everyone anticipated the arrival of Danrique. His appearance seemed like the only way to ensure that an ice-sealed Xendale would be awakened.

Meanwhile, Francesca was extremely weak after going through our rough days. She lay on the bed daily, only drinking water to survive.
Sam brought her worms, rats and other food options. Yet, Francesca couldn't swallow anything at all.
On this day, she heard a familiar howling outside. It was then she knew Layla had arrived.
Francesca wanted to howl in return, but she had difficulty doing so as her throat was dry and hoarse. Left with no choice, she asked Sam to look for Layla, for she was worried that Layla would come to her rescue impulsively.
Mrs. President has set up traps everywhere here. If Layla rushes in, she will definitely fall into her trap. Unless Mrs. President releases me on her own accord, there's no way someone can rescue me.
Layla was feeling anxious in the forest not far away, as there was no response from Francesca after a long moment. She stressed, “Something must have happened to Francesca. I need to go rescue her now.”
Sloan immediately trailed behind her. “I'm going with you!”
“Sloan, Gordon is not here yet. Why don't we wait and ask for his opinion?” His subordinate advised, “I don't think a small group of us has the ability to save Francesca by rushing in without any preparation.”
Sloan pushed his subordinate away as he followed behind Layla. “No. We can't just sit back and do nothing!”
Without a choice, all the subordinates followed suit on their quest to save Francesca.
The group sneaked into the prison through the side door. As Layla was an agile woman, she had no problem doing so.
Sloan quickly followed her. His watch vibrated when he was about to climb through the window. Noticing that it was a call from Gordon, Sloan wanted to pick up when the signal cut off.
A jail like the one they were heading into would cut off all communication signals, so there was no way for Sloan to talk to Gordon now. Sloan decided to put this matter behind him first. For now, the most important thing was to save Francesca.
