[Ellie's P.O.V]
After negotiating with the three elders and learning that other ingredients were added to the food, we began our operation to apprehend Leah.
Although there was a brief delay due to casual chatting among family members, no one knew Leah's whereabouts, making it impossible to pass on any messages to her.
We first focused our attention on the kitchen. Since the food was brought out from there, the issue must either lie with the cook or someone handling it.
Silently, people gathered around the kitchen. When we rushed over with our team, everything happened at the fastest speed...
Leah must be feeling quite triumphant right now. As long as she didn't notice any disturbance from our side, she would consider her plan successful. However, how could things go as she wished? If she tampered with the food, there might be a hiding place for her in the kitchen.
