If Lacey resisted and fought with the janitor, Zeke was afraid that his energy would accidentally hurt Lacey.

Lacey immediately tensed up and said, “All right, I got it.”

The call then ended.

The janitor soon went down the corridor, cleaning, until she reached Lacey's office.

She then gently knocked on the door. “Ma'am, I'm here to clean.”

Lacey replied, “Come in.”

The janitor then brought in the mop and gave Lacey a curt bow as a greeting before throwing herself into her work.

Lacey seemed like she was looking at her computer, but she was actually watching the janitor from the corner of

her eyes nervously.

The moment the janitor was by Lacey's side, Lacey felt as if her heart was about to beat out of her ribcage.

Of course, there was someone else who was even more anxious than Lacey, and that was Zeke.

However, Zeke was fully focused on the status of the energy. The moment he sensed any extreme movements

from the janitor, he would immediately use his energy to attack the janitor.

However, to both of their surprise, the janitor soon left the room after cleaning. She had done nothing suspicious at

all.

In fact, before she left, she even gave Lacey another polite bow.

At that, Lacey let out a sigh of relief. It seems like I'm overthinking the matter.

She then returned her focus back to the report.

However, around a minute into reading, Lacey felt a wave of sleepiness washing over her. She could barely keep

her eyes open.

No matter how hard she tried to wake herself, she simply could not dismiss the tiredness she felt.

In the end, she sprawled on the table and fell asleep.

Zeke instantly realized that Lacey had fallen asleep, and he quickly figured out that something was amiss.

During his call with her earlier, Lacey had still been energetic. There was no way she would fall asleep so suddenly.

Furthermore, it was only a minute after the janitor left before Lacey fell asleep. This is too coincidental.

Hence, Zeke decided to give up on waiting for their target to fall into their trap. He immediately stood up and ran

toward Lacey's office while trying to call her.

She never picked up the call.

If Lacey doesn't wake from the ringtone, that means she's not just sleeping. There's something wrong with that

janitor!

Instantly, Zeke released a wave of energy to restrain the janitor. Then, he instructed Sole Wolf, “Sole Wolf, keep all

of the janitors in the building inside. Don't let any of them get out.”

Sole Wolf nodded. “Understood! D*mn it, how dare these idiots do this to Lacey? They must have a death wish!”

The two went separate ways.

Zeke rushed into Lacey's room and tried to wake her in a gentle voice, “Lacey. Lacey, wake up.”

However, Lacey did not show any signs of waking. It seemed like she had fallen unconscious.

Zeke furrowed his brows. He then took a whiff of the scent in the room. It smelled like disinfectant.

However, he soon found another scent other than the smell of disinfectant—Acribide.

Acribide was a strange chemical component. In small doses, it could agitate a person's nervous system and allow

the person to be extremely energetic.

However, in larger doses, it would become a numbing agent that numbed people's nervous systems.

D*mn it. That janitor poisoned her.

In the next second, Zeke used his energy to open the windows and the door so that the room would be ventilated.

Once the fresh air entered the room, Lacey and the other two women slowly recovered from their poisoned state.

The first to wake was Lacey.

After stretching herself and yawning, she muttered, “Zeke, how long have I been sleeping?”

Zeke replied, “Not long. Lacey, how do you feel now? Does your head still hurt?”

Lacey shook her head. “It doesn't hurt. I'm just a little tired and sleepy. I don't know what happened earlier. I

suddenly felt so sleepy, and I couldn't stay awake.”

Zeke did not intend to reveal the truth to Lacey for fear of worrying her.

Hence, he consoled, “Maybe you stayed up all night and were too tired. Lacey, you should rest first. I don't think the

enemy is going to come today.”
