Darkwood Villa.
Xavier appeared in the detention room in the basement of his villa. The room was dimly lit, with only one light source from a yellow bulb placed on the ceiling right in the middle of the room.
At the far end of the room, a middle-aged man and woman were kneeling on the floor, their hands tied behind their backs. They were shocked when they saw a man suddenly appear in the middle of the room. Their bodies trembled at the sight.
Xavier ignored the two people on the floor. He looked sideways at Niles and Justin, standing with two other identical men with pale faces and shoulder-length black hair. These two men were Darkwood Guards who only appeared when needed; like ghosts, they could come and go without anyone noticing.
"Have you guys found anything?" Xavier asked in a low, barely audible voice, but it was enough for Justin and Niles to hear.
