The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 897

*Drip... drip... drip...*

The heavy silence was practically crushing them.

Leilani was the first to break it.

"Don't listen to him. It's an obvious psychological trap."

"He's just trying to incite panic and make us waste our energy turning on each other. We stay calm. There has to be another way out of here."

"She's right."

Callahan's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he scanned the branching paths ahead in the dark. Without a second of hesitation, he gave the order.

"We're already in his web. We don't have a choice but to push through."

"Abel, keep Payton covered."

"Bason, Shaun, watch our six."

"Keep your eyes peeled. The second you notice anything out of place, call it out!"

"Leilani." He turned to look at the tense woman beside him. "Stay right behind me. Do not step out of line."

The team began moving again.

The underground network was a labyrinth of branching tunnels. Callahan briefly assessed the layout and chose what appeared to be the main artery.

Spooked by the Benefactor's chilling announcement, the group moved with painstaking caution.

The tunnel seemed endless. The oppressive silence only amplified the sound of their footfalls and ragged breathing. Every step felt like walking a tightrope over an invisible abyss.
