Mary's thoughts raced.
She and Ryan were already stuck in this place, still searching for the energy stone.
One wrong move could expose them both.
If Olivia was telling the truth, helping her might be possible after they found what they came for.
But if Olivia was lying, if this was a trap, then everything would collapse. Not only would the plan fail, but Ryan could also be dragged into danger.
Olivia's heart sank when she saw Mary remain silent.
Was she going to be abandoned again?
"Miss," Olivia said hurriedly, panic creeping into her voice, "I'm telling the truth. I swear—"
Mary finally spoke, her tone calm but sharp. "Why should I believe you? What if this is a lie meant to test me?"
Olivia froze.
