Despite the general chaos in the room, Alec disregarded everything else other than what he just heard – or at least, what he thought he heard.
Was he imagining things?
Had he really heard what he'd heard come out of Elysia's mouth?
Alec felt like he was dazed.
This was the first time that Alec had ever reacted in such a way during an unknown and potentially dangerous situation.
Instead, Elysia was the one who immediately reacted and pulled Alec to the side, her face full of (fake) panic.
At this moment of time, there was no one who had time to pay attention to other people's safety, and the people inside were all panicked for a brief moment, until a loud voice came from one of the security guards.
"Calm down! There is no danger, and everything has been handled. However, we will have to ask you to retire for the night since the lights no longer work!"
