บท 35: The Ascendant Point Title

In a dimly lit room hidden deep within an undisclosed location, two figures stood in front of several monitors, their eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before them. The room was filled with an air of secrecy, and the screens flickered with images captured by the drone that had been observing Asher's encounter in the alleyway.

"What!? What happened to the drone?" the taller figure exclaimed, a note of urgency creeping into their voice.

"I don't know. We lost connection with it. It must be some sort of interference," the other figure replied, their voice filled with frustration.

The screens displayed the moment when the drone abruptly cut off, leaving the room in a state of confusion and uncertainty. The two figures exchanged concerned glances, realizing that their means of surveillance had been compromised.

"No problem," the taller figure muttered, regaining composure. "It doesn't matter. Our mission has ended anyway."
