Alice and Kent reached their meeting spot, an underground chamber beneath the mansion where Nova Academy students were housed. The chamber exuded an eerie atmosphere, with dim lighting casting shadows on the stone walls. The air was tinged with a sense of secrecy and anticipation.
Forty individuals stood in the chamber, each wearing a red mask concealing their faces and dark cloak hoods adding an element of mystique. Alice and Kent arrived punctually, avoiding the severe consequences that would befall them if they were late.
The leader, distinguished by his commanding presence, addressed the assembled members, revealing a picture of their target, Lucas Darkheart. "His name is Lucas Darkheart, and he is the focus of our mission. If anyone interferes, eliminate them," the leader declared, met with silent nods from the masked individuals.
