Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1212

The teammate looked up at the glittering Skyline Seven-Star Hotel and let out a helpless sigh. “I just asked inside.”

“The lobby manager said the hotel is on total lockdown, serving as the official preparation ground for the Global Elite Challenge. Aside from contestants and relevant tournament personnel, they are not accepting any outside guests.”

The teammate pointed in the direction Serena had disappeared.

“That girl came out of the hotel's side door. She must be a university student representing Elyndor in the tournament. Anyone competing at that level is definitely a top-tier genius.”

A university student?

The image of the girl's cool gaze and the gun calluses on her hands flashed through Drake's mind again.

The scent on that girl was blood and gunpowder. It was something carved into the bones from crawling out of a mountain of corpses time and time again.

There was absolutely no way she was just a normal college girl attending an academic competition.

But he was in Severia on a highly classified military mission. Since she displayed no open hostility, he couldn't afford to complicate things.

Drake reigned in his thoughts. “Since they aren't taking outsiders, we'll change locations and find a new safe house.”

Just as they turned to leave, a sharp, specialized frequency beeped simultaneously in both of their covert earpieces.

The casual, joking expression on the teammate's face vanished instantly, replaced by sheer severity.

He pressed his earpiece, listened for a few seconds, and sighed heavily as he looked at Drake. “Looks like we aren't changing locations anytime soon.”

“Orders from the top. We've got a mission.”

...

Serena walked at a steady pace, her hands tucked inside her hoodie pockets.
