Chapter 179: Doubts? Betrayal?
Emma Lewis had been pensive since Matt had visited her the night before.
His words left a bad taste in her mouth because the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something didn't add up about this considerable mission the leaders had issued.
This mission was not her father's doing; she is sure of it. If anything makes Emma feel annoyance against her father, it is precisely because he does not usually meddle in such vital matters and usually lets his ministers do so.
Naturally, they have given a lot to the Kingdom and have spent hundreds of years serving it to achieve their ranks, but Emma thinks that doesn't mean they are not prone to betray the Kingdom.
That's why she has been feeling bad things in her heart since she learned that Luke White is a traitor.
'Such a close man was a traitor... Maybe many are. It's even possible that guy's father is, and he's one of the high-level ministers,' she thought and groaned in her heart.
'Shit, I can't be left alone watching. Matthew is a very talented man, and there is also Miss Alice there; if something happens to them, a catastrophe could ensue for the Kingdom!' She thought and flew at high speed while trying to hide her aura as much as she could.
She wanted to watch the fight from above, and although she had not discovered a betrayal because many things could be happening in the dark, she still kept alert.
.
On the other side of the equation, Matt's entire group was hiding near the main fortress.
At this point, Luke took up the charge again, and somehow, a light council of leaders was formed, where Luke told them the plan to infiltrate.
"But for that, you need to lock down the escape and entry routes. Isla Moore, you're not that strong, so it's dangerous if you come in with us. That's why I want to put you in charge of locking down the escape routes for these guys along with several of the members," he said and pointed to a few of those present.
They were a slightly large group; to close off the retreat, it was a well-thought-out group.
But it made Matt frown.
As soon as they were named, he noticed something about these people that made him glare at them.
'They don't mean well.' He thought and looked at Isla. He approached her and said a few things, causing her to nod carefully.
If she were honest, the truth is that right now, she was afraid. She was in a dangerous place that she never thought she would get to; being one of the leaders of such a large group, how could she not feel nervous and afraid?
So, she didn't refute the idea of going to do a secondary task like that, which was just as important. Maybe it's because she lacked confidence in following Matt, as she felt she would be a burden to him again.
After formulating this plan, both groups split up, and Matt continued on his way along with a moderately large group.
Halfway through, Matthew began to notice things that were too strange all around.
'There's no way it's that easy to infiltrate this place... These guys are planning something.' Matt thought.
He felt that he had forgotten something important lately, perhaps because he did not pay too much attention to what he heard or discovered.
So he didn't pay too much attention to it and continued with the whole group.
Still, he was preparing himself for a hypothetical case of betrayal.
He knows he can't trust anyone here, so he must be prepared for the worst.
After passing through a long, dark corridor, the large group arrived at the main room of this enormous fortress.
On the other side of the door, he could feel many powerful people with an aura that he remembered perfectly.
'Humans...' he thought, looking sideways at Luke White, Hanna White, and others.
'No one reveals anything...' He thought after finding that the face of all of them was cautious and indifferent.
Despite that, he was sure something was wrong, for the road here had been too smooth and easy to travel.
Still, faced with such a situation, he only needed to see the stupidest one to know if they were up to something.
That was why he looked at Caspian, who was a bit away from him.
That guy had a mischievous grin when he saw him, though he soon wiped it off.
'Tsk, these bastards seem to be scheming well.' He thought, ready to refute them before entering.
But then the vast door opened from inside, and many humans stood before them with a grin.
'They're not surprised... I see. That's right, how could I forget? Shit, I've fallen into a trap this time.' He thought mockingly to himself.
For a moment, he forgot that the organization to which Luke White belongs seems to be led by humans as well.
Now, humans are not surprised to have so many vampires on their doorstep; it is obvious that they are together.
What happened in the next moment confirmed that for him.
A powerful man standing there, wearing light clothes, looked up.

The aura he carried was sharp and powerful, but it was not the same as the other humans present; it was the aura of a martial artist!
This man, who is also known as 'Hero', smiled.
"Hahahaha, Emma Lewis, you just can't seem to sit still for a moment." He said with a big smile and jumped up and down hard.
"I'll distract this girl. Do what you have to do!" He said and disappeared over the roof.
At the same time, Luke White and the whole team moved in a way that allowed them to surround Matthew and his entire group.
It was a quick move that shocked the different members of Matt's group; even Alice was surprised by it.
She looked at the formation they took, and the humans completed it before them.
"Luke White, Hanna White, what the hell does this mean!?" She asked angrily.
Causing both who had been called out to scoff.
Luke White was the most obvious: "The Allens have stepped on a mine that would sooner or later explode. What are you surprised about, Matthew Dietrich and Alice Allen? You've gone against the wrong organization. There's no way you're getting out of here alive!"
"The Vampire World is against you guys surviving!" He replied forcefully.
