With Lana and Monica moving in quiet coordination, the two of them soon arrived at Joseph's house.
The residence stood out immediately.
It was a moderately large building nestled deep within a well-planned residential zone.
The streets were clean, lined with trimmed hedges and evenly spaced streetlights, the kind of place people boasted about living in.
It wasn't the most extravagant mansion, but it was unmistakably expensive, one of those luxury homes that quietly displayed wealth without shouting it.
Yet something felt off.
As Lana approached the guard station near the entrance, her steps slowed.
The guard post was completely empty.
No security personnel. No movement. Not even a trace of recent presence.
'Strange,' Lana thought. 'A house like this should have guards at all times.'
This was the first time she had ever seen such a situation in an area like this.
