They urged, \u201cHurry up, line up if you don\u2019t want to die!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing signs of survival, the women quickly lined up and moved towards the exit. Melissa was at the end of the line. She looked at Morris and said, \u201cMorris, aren\u2019t you coming with us? I\u2019m scared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Morris\u2019s eyes were filled with irritation and annoyance. He shouted, \u201cFool if you don\u2019t want to die, get downstairs quickly!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris\u2019s shout finally got Melissa to stop hesitating and run downstairs, following at the end of the group. Morris looked at the time and pushed Viper towards the window.<\/p>\n<p>Looking downstairs, Steven, Justin, and some elite fighters from the base were already set up in an ambush nearby, thanks to the location Morris sent out.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that everyone else on the island was dealt with besides the dozens of people dressed in black inside the building. Countdown, ten seconds left. When the time was up, those dozens of women also appeared downstairs, completely unharmed.<\/p>\n<p>Steven and his team quickly launched their attack when they saw the people coming out.<\/p>\n<p>The two black guys leading the group downstairs were clearly no match for the well\u2013trained agents from the Night Base; they were taken down in just a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>These pampered women started screaming repeatedly when they saw people suddenly rush out of the bushes and start fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing the noise, the other people in black inside the building rushed out all together to help.<\/p>\n<p>Viper also saw the fight downstairs and realized Morris had planned this. He said, \u201cAre you Morris or not? This isn\u2019t something you should be involved in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re just a businessman. You make your money. I make mine. Why get involved in unnecessary matters?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Morris lifted his gaze and stared at Viper. He said, \u201cOf course, I am Morris. But I have another identity, too. In your line of work, with all your experience, you must have heard about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh? What is it?\u201d Viper asked, a bit curious.<\/p>\n<p>Morris let out a cold snort and replied, \u201cI\u2019m from Clusia\u2019s Night Base. You\u2019ve done too many bad things; we\u2019re here to take you back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viper\u2019s eyes widened instantly. He shouted, \u201cWhat?\u201d He thought to himself, \u2018It\u2019s over, everything is over.<\/p>\n<p>Downstairs, the elite warriors of the Night Base took under ten minutes to take down all the men in black.<\/p>\n<p>Steven glanced at the women behind him, who were still whimpering. He felt inexplicably irritated. He said, \u201cYou\u2019re driving me crazy. Stop crying. If you keep sobbing, I\u2019m not taking you back to Clusia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his shout, those women finally quieted down. Realizing they were rescued and temporarily safe, they began to calm down.<\/p>\n<p>After yelling, Steven turned to Justin, who was tying up the men in black and said, \u201cKeep an eye here. I\u2019m going upstairs to find Mr. Chivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>08:55 Wed, Dec 11 W<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 228<\/p>\n<p>8497%2<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, hurry up and come back. Once we\u2019re done, let\u2019s head back to Clusia. Staying here doesn\u2019t feel as good as being on our turf, Justin replied, seemingly relaxed. Steven waved to Justin and headed towards the front door.<\/p>\n<p>He hadn\u2019t taken the fourth step when the entire building before him burst into flames and exploded instantly. The glass from all the building\u2019s windows shattered and burst outward. Ahead was nothing but a sea of fire.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone outside was stunned by the sight. The shockwave blew Steven back. He got up quickly and wanted to run inside, but Justin stopped him.<\/p>\n<p>Steven shouted, \u201cDon\u2019t stop me, let me go. Mr. Chivers is still in there. Let me in. Mr. Chivers, come out now!\u201d He couldn\u2019t hold it together, desperate to rush in and find Morris.<\/p>\n<p>Justin felt the same pain in his heart but stayed rational as he shouted at Steven, \u201cIf we go in there, we\u2019re all going to die. Quick, get the guys to call for emergency backup!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if Mr. Chivers is okay? He\u2019s got great skills and might have dodged it. Or maybe he found a safe place to hide.\u201d Hearing this, Steven turned and ran to one man in black. He grabbed the man\u2019s collar tightly and shouted, \u201cIs there a safe place in there or a blast\u2013proof spot? Tell me, hurry up! Tell me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man in black was turning red from being choked by Steven. He said, \u201cNo, the bomb was put in the walls by Mr. Grant when the building was constructed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe did it just in case the business ever got exposed. It could blow up the whole building to keep the evidence from getting<\/p>\n<p>out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing this, Steven immediately collapsed to the ground, looking like his soul had left his body.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, in Betrico, Clusia, Xenia had arranged to meet Cherise at Ebb &amp; Flow.<\/p>\n<p>On stage, Cherise looked at the guitar she played during her first visit to Ebb &amp; Flow. For some reason, she picked it up and sat on a stool. She played the same song as last time.<\/p>\n<p>The guitar\u2019s sound was hauntingly beautiful. Suddenly, with a twang, one of the strings snapped.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the snapped string, Cherise frowned slightly and touched it with her hand. She said, \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t have happened. What a pity for such a good guitar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u9c7c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-253","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
