At the secure base, Victor, Isabelle, and their group kept Nicholas Drake safe in a reinforced chamber. Drake, while controlled, displayed a chilling demeanor that made those in attendance uneasy.
Victor advanced, his gaze frosty. "Drake, you will disclose all the information to us. Regarding The Consortium, their intentions, and their figureheads.
Drake grinned, his eyes shining with stubbornness. Do you believe that catching me will make a difference? Victor, you are engaging in a risky endeavor. There is one that you cannot emerge victorious from.
Victor hunched forward, speaking with a quiet and threatening tone. "We'll find out if that's true."
The questioning commenced as Marcus and Lucian interrogated Drake in turns. Despite trying hard, Drake refused to share information, giving only mysterious answers and subtle warnings.
Isabelle stood in the corner, feeling her frustration intensify as she watched. "She whispered to Victor that we're not making any progress." "He will not shatter."
Victor gave a nod while his thoughts were running wild. We require the use of leverage. "The key to getting him to speak."
While they talked about their next step, Marcus's phone vibrated with a new message. Looking at it quickly, his expression turned pale. "We are faced with an issue."
"What is that?" Victor inquired with urgency in his tone.
Marcus raised his gaze, his face showing seriousness. The Consortium is aware that we possess Drake. And they are approaching to apprehend him.
Victor felt his heart drop. "What is our time frame?"
"It won't be long," Marcus answered. We must relocate. "At this moment."
Victor faced his team, speaking with authority. Get ready to leave right away. We must ensure Drake is taken to a safe place.
While they rushed to collect their gear and get ready to go, Victor took Isabelle aside. We must keep in front of them. The Consortium will do everything in their power to retrieve Drake, no matter the cost.
Isabelle nodded, her eyes showing strong resolve. "We will be prepared."
They swiftly moved to a safer hideout, which was familiar to only a small number of reliable allies. Once they got comfortable, Victor realized they needed to quickly figure out a way to get Drake to start talking.
That evening, while the team rested and kept watch in shifts, Victor sat alone with Drake. Drake, time is running out for you. The Consortium will not think twice about eliminating you if they believe you are a risk.
Drake's smile disappeared, being replaced by a hint of fear. "Victor, you have no idea what you're up against." The Consortium has a much wider reach than you might think.
"Then assist us in preventing them," Victor pleaded. Inform us of the information that is necessary for us to be aware of.
Drake paused, unsure of his decision. "There is... there is a secret chamber. Located in the center of Luminaris. It has all the necessary information. Reaching it will be challenging.
Victor's gaze became more focused. "Where is that?"
Drake shared the coordinates, his voice shaking. "However, take caution. There are a lot of security in place at the vault. A team is required to get through it.
Victor nodded, his resolve strengthening as his expression became more determined. We will take care of it. "And if you're not telling the truth, Drake, I'll make sure you regret it."
Drake looked into Victor's eyes, seeing a blend of fear and acceptance. I am telling the truth. However, gaining access to that vault is just the start. The true difficulty lies in making it through what is contained within.
While Victor shared the information with his team, a sense of dread engulfed him and he couldn't seem to shake it off. The road ahead was filled with peril, but there were no other options available. They were on the brink of finding the answers they were looking for, and they had to take action quickly before The Consortium caught up with them.
While getting ready for the mission, Victor and Isabelle had a peaceful moment together. "Are you prepared for this?" Victor inquired with a gentle tone.
Isabelle nodded, determination shining in her eyes. "Yes, that is correct. We will confront whatever happens. United.
Victor held her hand tightly, finding courage in her resolve. Heading into the night, prepared to break into the vault and reveal The Consortium's secrets, he realized the risks were at their peak.
Somewhere in the darkness, their foes were ready to attack as soon as they showed a vulnerability. The war was still ongoing, and the ultimate clash was approaching.
