Andala secured the third position, trailing behind Zeusforce and Technologent. However, in a surprising turn of events, Andala emerged as the unexpected victor of the bid.
The attendees left the venue in a state of bewilderment, as if they had just witnessed an illusion. Nathaniel was escorting Freya towards the exit when they encountered Alexander, who seemed less than pleased to see them.

He had a nagging feeling that he was being manipulated in the unfolding events. Initially, he suspected. Alexander Lloyd was behind it, but Alexander had ended up in a predicament himself.
