Grimgold's expression turned grim. "Forget who, that doesn't sound good. We need to find a way to safety, now."
But Duke's sudden murmur sent chills down their spines. "It's me," he said, his eyes fixed on the new special order on his screen. A profile of Nadia, Grimgold, Ryker, and Dominique appeared, with the ominous inscription
Special Order- [~Eliminate all~].
Penalty- [~Death~]
Reward- [Aveni's Threshold]
Bonus reward- [100,000 coins]
"What does that mean?" Nadia stuttered, her eyes wide with fear. "What are they activating you for, Duke?"
Duke swallowed hard, his voice shaking. "They've given me an order. A special order to eliminate all of you, except for Tyler. And if I don't complete the quest, I'll face a death penalty."
The group gasped in shock including Ava. "What? That's insane!"
Ava exclaimed, "The Aveni threshold? That's a real place?"
