A shadow could be seen on the rooftop of the opposite building, but it quickly disappeared. The police swiftly responded, sealing off the opposite building and conducting a thorough search for the sniper.

Hera approached and checked the pulse on Queenie's neck but couldn't find it.

If Barnard hadn't pulled Hera back that time, the bullet might have hit her instead.

She wondered if someone was trying to assassinate her or if they intended to silence Queenie Instead.

With the nof the real mastermind on the verge of being revealed, Queenie's death seemed more like an effort to stop any further investigation.

Heraclenched her fists, her gaze cold and determined.

Hera replied using Raven's account.

"Not bad, thanks." "No problem. The fee will be deducted from the task list” Piglet added a grinning emoji at the back of his sentence.

"How's the surveillance footage from the Twin Towers?" Hera asked.

The Twin Towers were the buildings opposite the police station. On the On the way back to Skyview Hera couldn't check the footage herself because Bernard was with her. So, she asked Leon to handle it.

"It's been checked. But the surveillance was turned off fromnoon, claiming system maintenance, and resumed only at four. I found nothing unusual.” Leon's text reply cquickly, Hera's eyes narrowed slightly. She wondered if this was a coincidence "However, when I was hacking their system, I encountered someone from Astral Nova-Aries."

Arles was ranked in the top 20 of the country's hackers and was part of Astrall Nova. It was rumored that Astral Nova had an organization that consisted of 12 members named after the zodiac signs.
