Lucas suddenly leaned closer to her body and buried his handsome face in Ashlyn's neck. Then, he took a breath lightly.
Infuriated, Ashlyn shoved him away. “Lucas, get lost!”
Bernard was fuming with rage when they ignored him. “Charge! Why aren't you all attacking now?”
How can we go? We'll get shot in the head if we do. That woman has terrifying abilities. She has yet to miss a shot, and all the headshots killed her targets!
They started to panic at that instant.
To their surprise, Lucas abruptly fished out a smoke bomb, and a loud bang followed.
Instantly, thick, billowing smoke filled the air in the emergency exit. The people had difficulty opening their eyes and breathing due to it.
Lucas seized Ashlyn's arms and threw her upward. “To the rooftop!”
Ashlyn flipped in mid-air, and both her hands grabbed onto the ladder.
Then, she started climbing toward the rooftop. As Ashlyn turned her head, she saw Lucas sprinting and lunging upward with extended arms. Surprisingly, he could reach the bottom step of the ladder.
Soon, that guy followed behind her.
Before the smoke dissipated, both of them rapidly ran to the rooftop.
As soon as they reached the rooftop, they shut and locked the rooftop door.
After locking the door, Lucas stuck his body close to Ashlyn, and no matter how hard she tried to push him away, her efforts were in vain.
He brushed his lips against hers, doing what he wanted to do when the girl jumped down for him.
“Let go of me!” Ashlyn became livid and kicked him.
“Honey...” Lucas grinned before grabbing her leg and caressing it.
She was clinging onto him at that instant.
A mischievous smile then appeared on Lucas' face. “Honey, I didn't know you would become this enthusiastic after such a terrifying incident.”
It was evident that the smoke had settled when Ashlyn heard the noise of someone kicking on the door. “Why didn't you use your smoke bombs earlier if you have them?”
“It would put us into a more dangerous situation if I used it too early as there were many of them,” Lucas said as he embraced her.
After finishing his words, he fixed his gaze on the night starry sky.
