Stronghold (2)

All of them looked at me with a surprised and confused look after they heard me say this.

Elizabeth looked at me for a bit before asking, "How are you planning on doing this?"

I shook my head to say, "I don't know yet, but I should be able to get us in."

Elizabeth deeply knitted her brows when she heard this. After looking at me with a frown for a bit, she suddenly asked, "Are you messing with me?"

I just calmly shook my head before saying, "No, I'm not. I do have a way, but I need to make sure that it'll work out the way that I want it to. Before that, I can't guarantee anything. If you just give me a bit of time, I'll be able to find this information."

She still looked at me with knitted brows and eyes that were filled with doubt, but she didn't say anything.

After a while, Elizabeth turned to look at Veronica with a questioning gaze.

It was almost as if she was saying, "Are you sure that you trust him?"
