"I'll check it out."
As soon as Matthew said that, he strode into the building.
Xavier followed him into the building as well, but there was no one inside.
The two men glanced at each other before heading straight back to Noah.
"What? Miss Murphy isn't there?" Noah asked in shock with a frown on his face.
Matthew glanced around. "I'll look in the other buildings."
There was no way he would return empty-handed.
"As we have done what His Highness ordered us to do, we will be leaving now." Noah did not plan to continue the search with them.
"Very well. Thank His Highness for me," Matthew said with a slight nod.
Before leaving with his companion, Noah gave Matthew and Xavier each a flashlight.
The remaining two men then continued searching through the entire underground chamber.
They were discovered in their search, so they had to knock out about five or six men. They soon finished the search and found no signs of Veronica.
In the end, they had to leave the mountain empty-handed.
Thereafter, they got into their car and drove back to the city.
No one said a single word throughout the journey. Finally, Xavier could hold back no longer and angrily barked out, "Have you ever wondered if this is just a trap? If Dominik was just toying with you?"
"He was not lying," Matthew replied.
His brows were locked in a frown as he continued to stare at the road ahead. "From what the patrolling men said in the underground chamber, we can confirm that the place was one of Crayson's secret bases. However, he must have placed Veronica elsewhere after realizing Tiffany had been taken away."
"Where shall we go to find Roni now?"
"I don't know."
Matthew was now lost. He did not know where to go.
