As Ava spoke, Emily's mind was racing with questions.
What did Ava mean? What was the Order of the Illuminati?
Ryker's eyes narrowed. "What's the Order of the Illuminati?" he asked.
Ava's eyes clouded over. "The Order of the Illuminati is a secret organization that's been pulling the strings from behind the scenes for thousands of years," she said. "They're the ones who really control the world."
Victor's eyes widened in shock. "That's impossible," he said. "We would have known about it."
Ava's smile was bitter. "That's what they want you to think," she said. "They're experts at hiding in plain sight.
They've infiltrated every level of society, from governments to corporations to schools."
Emily's eyes were wide with horror. "What do they want?" she asked.
Ava's eyes clouded over. "They want total control," she said. "They want to create a new world order, with them in charge."
As Ava spoke, Emily felt a chill run down her spine.
