"Something's wrong. There should have been someone waiting for us."
Russell paused right after everyone walked into the study before staring towards the only other exit point which was a door opposite them.
One of the black-clothed men, the one who had directed Laura and Vergil over before, proceeded cautiously towards the door and opened it. He then stepped out of the room to scout the place out, but didn't forget to close the door behind him.
As the man left, Russell explained to Lucas,
"Whenever a secret path is used, the corresponding safehouse is automatically notified so as to make preparations. A guard is supposed to be on standby to receive whoever's showing up, but there's no one here.
"Also, this safe house is a mansion located 7 kilometres away from the hotel in the Amrius Estate. It basically borders the region and is outside the affected area of the explosion."
