Andres completely ignored the groveling manager.
His sole focus was Maeve's safety.
He headed straight for his private elevator, desperate to tear down the doors of Room 1701.
Hans motioned for the manager to step back, but after taking a few steps, he paused and turned around.
"Give me the master keycard."
The manager's master keycard could override any lock in the building and was strictly reserved for emergencies.
Not daring to hesitate, the manager practically shoved the card into Hans's hand.
Taking it, Hans asked sharply, "Are you aware the front desk phones are completely down?"
The manager looked baffled. "Down?"
He quickly pulled out his own cell phone to call the desk.
Only then did he realize he had absolutely zero signal.
The manager turned pale. "I'll... I'll get maintenance on this immediately!"
Meanwhile, Andres had already stepped into his private elevator.
With Hans, Murray, and a few top-tier bodyguards in tow, they rocketed straight to the seventeenth floor.
Inside the elevator, Hans checked his phone.
Just like the manager's, the signal bars were completely empty.
"Boss, the network is definitely being jammed on purpose."
The suffocating tension in Andres's chest finally began to ease.
"If the signal is jammed, it means Maeve is the one running the show."
As long as Maeve was in control, Andres knew the situation hadn't spiraled into a total catastrophe.
The doors slid open on the seventeenth floor, and the men marched straight to 1701.
Hans didn't bother knocking, swiping the master keycard to bypass the lock.
When the heavy door swung open, the sickening, compromising scene they had all feared was nowhere to be found.
Instead, what hit them was an overpowering stench of copper.
"Don't worry. As long as he still has a heartbeat, I won't let him die."
No matter how many times Donovan lost consciousness, Maeve had every intention of forcing him awake to feel the pain.
This was the chaotic bloodbath Andres and his men walked into.
Seeing Andres stride through the door, Naomi was stunned.
"Mr. Andres? What are you doing here?"
But shock quickly turned to profound relief as she realized backup had arrived.
"Thank God you're here. Please, stop her. She's completely lost it."
Andres's gaze swept over Maeve, instantly recognizing the danger.
She looked exactly like she had that rainy night in the alley—wielding a combat knife and slaughtering everyone in her path.
Except tonight, she seemed even more unhinged.
Her eyes were a violent, unnatural crimson, entirely consumed by the high of the carnage.
Maeve shot Andres a glacial look. "Who told you to come here?"
