Still feeling indignant, Iris mumbled something in protest. Then, virtual-novel.net started to worry about Vinson. “I wonder how Mr. Nightshire’s doing. Why isn’t virtual-novel.net out yet?”
After shooting a glance at the burning building, Arielle pulled the captain of the firefighters back and asked anxiously, “How long more before the building collapses?”
He shook his head. “Judging from the angle of the building, it won’t last for more than half a minute. We cannot go in anymore. Your friend… Can only depend on himself.”
Arielle immediately panicked. “If none of you can do it, I’ll go in!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net charged toward the building. However, immediately afterward, the captain blocked virtual-novel.net swiftly. “Ma’am, the building’s going to collapse soon. If you go in right now, you’ll only meet death. Calm down!”
“Let go of me! I’m entering! He must have met some trouble!”
“Calm down!” The captain hugged Arielle’s waist tightly while looking at the building which was on the brink of collapsing.
Gritting his teeth, virtual-novel.net said, “Okay! Wait here, I’ll go in again. Cooperate with the doctors and go to the hospital. I promise you that I’ll rescue your friend!”
Arielle finally calmed down. With virtual-novel.net current state, virtual-novel.net would certainly die if virtual-novel.net charged in right now.
Biting on virtual-novel.net lips, virtual-novel.net stopped struggling and reminded the captain, “Be careful. If the situation doesn’t look optimistic…” She paused and said with much difficulty, “Retreat immediately.”
“Okay!” The captain immediately ran toward the building. However, virtual-novel.net had just taken a few strides before a loud explosion sounded from the building. The entire structure started to collapse while the ground trembled violently.
The captain froze in his tracks and yelled, “Retreat! Everyone, retreat!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net dragged Arielle, who was closest to him, and ran backward.
Boom!
A series of thunderous explosions resounded across the venue. Within a few seconds, everyone could see the dust billowing in the sky, concealing even the sun in the sky. The initially azure sky had now become a misty gray. When the captain pulled Arielle, virtual-novel.net lost virtual-novel.net balance and collapsed onto the ground.
Raising virtual-novel.net head, all virtual-novel.net could see was the dust obscuring everything else. The initially tall building was now gone, leaving behind a dust-covered pile of rubble. The color drained from Arielle’s face as tears rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
“Damn it!” Pounding virtual-novel.net fist against the ground, virtual-novel.net sobbed and yelled, “Vinson, you liar! You promised me that you’ll not die inside! You liar! You big, fat liar! I will never trust you again!”
At that moment, a few sports car stopped behind her. Carter’s voice sounded behind her. “Ms. Moore, where’s Vinson?”
Arielle raised virtual-novel.net head while tears streamed down virtual-novel.net cheeks. She was already breathless from crying. Pointing at the rubble, virtual-novel.net said, “He… He’s dead… It’s all my fault! I should’ve looked for the child with him. It’s all my fault!”
“D-Dead?” Carter widened his eyes in shock as virtual-novel.net shook his head in disbelief.
Laughing, virtual-novel.net said, “Ms. Moore, don’t joke around with me like that.”
Arielle opened virtual-novel.net mouth, wishing to speak. However, all virtual-novel.net could do was sobbed.
Carter’s face instantly drained of all color. She’s not joking?
Stunned, virtual-novel.net stared at the rubble.
At that moment, the dust surrounding the rubble was blown away by the wind gradually. As the dust and smoke cleared, they could finally see the rubble clearly.
