I was running out of breath by the time I finally managed to lose the guards.
My lungs were burning, my legs were threatening to resign from their positions, and I was beginning to question whether all the money I spent on good food had been a complete waste.
'Forget Maximus. He's on his own now.'
I didn't care anymore.
He could explain his situation to the authorities himself. I wasn't his lawyer, his bodyguard, or his mother.
I was a woman with very limited patience and a desperate need to get out of this building alive.
'Forget the main characters, too. They'll be safe now that Kayden and the authorities are here.'
All I needed were my energy stones, and then I was out of here.
With that optimistic thought, I hurried toward the warehouse.
The moment I arrived, I quietly pushed the door open and slipped inside.
'Now, where were my energy stones?'
