A series of footsteps echoed down the corridor. Fagar and Ellen ran around several corners before finally spotting Lycan and the others waiting at the top of the stairs as they passed the last corner.

Ies turned around and waved to the distance: "Faga, Ellen, hurry up!"

Hearing Ies's call, the two didn't say a word and quickened their pace to catch up.

Before long, they arrived in front of everyone.

Fagga's chest heaved slightly as he wiped the few beads of sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's not too late yet, we just arrived not long ago."

Lycahn glanced down at his pocket watch; barring any unforeseen circumstances on the road, he had plenty of time.

However, we can't place all our hopes on luck.

Given Victoria Housekeeping's professionalism, they cannot afford to take any chances when handling clients. While the situation remains uncertain, there is always a possibility of a turnaround.

Therefore, Lycahn said in a deep voice, "Let's hurry up and go up."

"Um."

Everyone responded in unison and followed Lykan up the stairs, spiraling upwards.

One floor, two floors...

Before we knew it, we had climbed five floors.

Even the most ornately decorated staircase can become tiresome eventually. With everything remaining calm and peaceful, people couldn't help but lower their guard a bit.

Lykan keenly sensed this and shouted, "Be on guard..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a shadow fall down from the top of the spiral staircase.

It vaguely resembles a cylinder, much like a doll's leg.

Lycahn immediately recalled his less-than-pleasant memories and went into battle mode.

Seeing this, the people behind him also emerged one after another to prepare for battle, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from above in the stairwell:

[Hehe! Little shark sister, you stinky vampire, your big sister's here to find you again!]

Suddenly, the shadow disappeared, and Lycahn's pupils immediately contracted, raising his vigilance to the maximum.

But the next instant, a spatial rift suddenly tore open in the center of the group, startling Ies.

Ies clung tightly to Lycan's calf, trembling as he said, "The ability to create spatial rifts out of thin air... how is that possible?"

Nothing is impossible, little sister Bomb.

Slowly, two dolls floated out from the spatial rift, one exquisite and the other black and white.

The exquisite dolls didn't speak and were even pressed against the wall, seemingly indicating some social anxiety.

The other black and white doll is the epitome of a chatterbox, giggling as it says:

[Hehe, you guys have really gotten yourself into big trouble! Those two infamous ones were originally planning to pretend they didn't see you and let you off the hook.]

[But why did you all insist on going to all this trouble, making our Lady Dark Nymph in Black Veil work for you all for nothing?]

[Although I've tried my best to speak up for everyone out of consideration for Shark Sister, Lady Ming Ningfu is getting increasingly angry and demands an explanation.]

There's nothing I can do but do as they say!

As it spoke, the black and white doll suddenly turned ferocious, abandoning all pretense, and roared: "Exquisite doll, attack!"

The exquisite doll, upon receiving the command, immediately brightened its eyes and pointed forward with its little hand.

Suddenly, the entire staircase vanished, replaced by a wide spatial rift!

"Eileen!"

The incident happened so suddenly that Fagga only had time to grab Ellen, who was standing next to him.

Lina did the same; she only grabbed onto the little Colleen who was closest to her.

Lycahn and Ies, who were standing a little further away, were at a loss and could only watch them fall.

Travel through spatial rifts to reach some unknown place!

"Lord Lykan!"

Lina wanted to do something more, but it was too late. Lycan only managed to hug Ies tightly at the last moment before falling into the spatial rift.

Wow! There are two people in the team who can fly! That's something I hadn't considered.

The black and white doll looked surprised at first, but then became indifferent, as if victory was assured:

Your companion has already fallen; aren't you going to join him?

If you don't go, he'll have to face his infamy alone, accompanied only by a little bum!

[Really...not going?]

The black and white dolls spoke softly, their words highly provocative.

"whispering sound!"

Faga gritted his teeth and looked at Lina.

However, Lina did not hesitate for a moment. After throwing Corinne at Fagar, she plunged into the spatial rift.

Fagar grabbed Corinne and shouted, "Lina!"

"Miss Lina!" Corinne was on the verge of tears.

Corina had already crashed into the spatial rift and could no longer hear them talking.

[Hehe, another one's gone! Aren't you three going to go with them?]

【But that's fine too. With those two venting their anger on Lady Ming Ningfu, it doesn't matter whether you go or not, hehe!】

The black and white dolls twirled merrily in the air, striking victory poses.

"Tch! I really want to punch it!"

Fagga glared at the black and white doll, then said, "Eileen, Colleen, hurry up!"

Eileen and Colleen nodded in unison: "Yes!"

So, Fagar took a deep breath and immediately retracted his wings, deprived of his ability to stay airborne by gravity.

Falling...
