Chapter 1333:
“Can | see the footage from that last match?” Freya asked.
Ellis shook his head, disappointment flickering across his features. “Doubt it still exists. No one thought to save

them within an hour. If Frederick assists, make it forty minutes.”
Marlon stood dumbfounded. Even Ellis glanced at her, eyes narrowing slightly.
