In just a few minutes, Imperial Hotel was completely ablaze.
The flames were so huge that they illuminated the dark sky.
Howard immediately ran out of his room when he realized the hotel was on fire. Never in his wildest dreams did he know Silvermoon would be this cruel!
He thought Silvermoon only wanted him to poison his colleagues, but it was just a ruse to sound him out.
Silvermoon's plan was to set Imperial Hotel on fire to burn everyone and the building to ashes.
Anxiousness flashed across his eyes as he yelled, “Open the door! Open the door! Everyone, wake up! Denny! Denny! Head chef! Dr. Walker!”
Howard slammed on their doors and yowled desperately.
Alas, no one responded to him.
Panic clawed up his throat as he kicked Denny's door open. Through the thick smoke, he spotted Denny lying in his bed, unconscious.
Denny didn't move an inch even when Howard patted his cheek.
Besides the smoke, there was also a strange scent lingering in the air.
It was familiar to Howard as it was a unique incense developed by ZZ Organization.
D*mn it! Did they drug everyone? No wonder no one responded to my yells.
Hoisting Denny onto his back, he pulled out his phone and called 911.
“Hello, Imperial Hotel is on fire! Please send the firefighters here! Yes, every floor is on fire! It is spreading quickly. Please hurry up!”
After hanging up, Howard dialed another number that he memorized by heart.
At a ward in First Hospital, Ashlyn regained consciousness and opened her eyes.
