Spencer and the rest got to their feet. They finally snapped back to reality. Ms. Berry is still alive! She's still alive!
Lucas lifted his head and glanced at Lochlan. Without a word, he strode toward his car with Ashlyn in his arms.
Lochlan turned around and ordered his subordinates to put out the fire. “Hurry, put out the fire. Don't let it spread out. Find out if there are any other victims around.”
After Lucas and the others disappeared, he couldn't stop hatred from filling his eyes. A vicious grin flitted across his lips.
Lucas Nolan, Joseph Field. This is just the beginning. You took my beloved away from me, so don't blame me for teaching you a lesson.
A veil of darkness shrouded the entire area.
The night breeze blew as dogs barked occasionally. The entire street was otherwise silent.
After a bustling day, Imperial Hotel finally descended into silence.
The empty building was eerily silent as it was closed of business.

In one of the rooms in the dorm, Howard's face was pale as he stared at the two men in black who barged into his room.
Shock crept up his face as he asked, “What do you want?”
One man with a scar on his face gave him a vicious look. “Mr. Chef, Mr. Silvermoon wants you to take action tonight.”
“They are innocent beings. Why are you doing this?” Howard stared at him, his face devoid of expression. “They won't affect our plan.”
“It's better to be safe than sorry,” the scarred man declared icily. “Members of the ZZ Organization never beat around the bush or harbor any feelings. Mr. Chef, are you telling me that you think of them as your colleagues?”
“What a joke!” the other bald man snorted out loud. “This is ridiculous. Friendship doesn't exist!”
“You escaped last time, so this is the chance for you to make up for your mistake.” The scarred man tossed a packet of medicine to Howard. “You know what to do.”
