118 Children of Mana, Part Two

As Lianna watched Zura slip back into the warehouse, her brows shot up.

She couldn't help but wonder where Zura had disappeared to. 

"Zura, where did you go?" Lianna asked, her voice tinged with both concern and intrigue.

Zura flashed a mischievous grin, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Just had to take care of a little eavesdropper," she replied cryptically, her tone laced with satisfaction.

Lianna raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued.

"An eavesdropper?"

Zura shrugged nonchalantly, her grin widening.

"Just someone who thought they could spy on us without getting caught. That, uh, bodyguard of ours... She's the real deal," Zura stated. 

[Yeah, with her stats, I figured. I wonder how Miss Taylor met all these people. She seems to be friends with plenty of powerful individuals.] 

Before Lianna could press for more details, Mel interjected, drawing their attention back to her.
