When Luther parked the car near the abandoned school, he left it on the side and went to the passenger seat to pick up the unconscious Alisha.
The night was dark, and the darkness seemed to devour everything around. There was no moon tonight, and it was nearly pitch black, with visibility almost nonexistent.
Luther carried Alisha and walked into the empty school.
Following the designated location, he headed straight to the gymnasium on the ground floor of the abandoned school.
Upon arrival, the faint light ahead brought him a sense of reassurance. As he had expected, this location, after his discreet investigations, matched Felix's findings, confirming each other's discoveries. The unlocking device for the detonator was hidden in the gymnasium.
It was a large device, and only an open and spacious place like the gymnasium would be convenient for concealing it.
Carrying Alisha, Luther entered the gymnasium.
When Luther saw the person waiting for him, he was genuinely stunned. It was Reuben?!
Felix didn't come because he and Vicki were in charge of diverting Athena's attention. The doctor Felix had arranged would be waiting for him in the gymnasium.
But standing before him was Reuben!
Luther looked around and asked, "What are you doing here? Where is the doctor?"
Reuben lightly tapped himself and said, "It's me."
Luther was taken aback. "You're the doctor? How is that possible?"
The most crucial question was, how did Reuben know Felix? Luther immediately looked around, searching for Joyce's presence. If Reuben was here, did that mean Joyce was here too? Did Joyce finally find out about everything and become involved in the entire plan?
"Don't bother looking. Why is it impossible? I am a medical professional, with degrees at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. I have worked at the Royal Hospital, and my surgical skills are exceptional. The new anesthetic you mentioned is also exclusive to the Rohomes royal family. Let's not waste any time." Reuben pointed to a temporary medical bed beside him. It wasn't large, just enough for an adult to lie on their side. It was the perfect size for a child.
Luther didn't have time to inquire further and quickly placed Alisha on the small bed.
Reuben opened his toolbox, preparing for the procedure, and asked, "What's wrong with her? She doesn't seem like she's asleep. Why did she pass out?"
Luther didn't deny it. "She was crying and throwing a tantrum, so I made her faint. Can you really perform the surgery and anesthesia?"
