Before Martin could finish speaking, Byron rushed in.
Even though it was cold outside, there was so much blood that Byron immediately smelled the nauseating stench as he entered.
He stared stiffly at the figure that looked so much like Athena that he almost sat in shock.
"Mr. Crawford!" Martin was frantic.
Then Byron said, "It's not her..."
Martin paused, quickly had the female corpse put down, and pulled back the hair covering her face. He, too, sighed in relief.
Although her face was severely damaged, a prosthetic showed at her nose. Athena hadn't had any plastic surgery, so she wouldn't have had a prosthetic.
However, ...
This face looked familiar.
"Isn't this Miss Holland?" someone shouted.
Martin suddenly remembered.
Wasn't this the face of the new stand-in who had been brought by Byron and Athena when they were angry at each other?
"Playing games with me, huh!" Byron was furious. "Keep searching!"
The group was about to leave.
"What was that sound?" Martin noticed something.
Soon, several plumes of white smoke sprayed out from the corners of the room.
"Watch out, Mr. Crawford! Cover your nose and mouth!" Martin lunged at Byron.
But under the high concentration of chemicals, nobody could withstand it.
Martin tried to protect Byron and get out quickly. But when they reached the front door, it wouldn't open.
