“Buzz off!”
The subordinate immediately turned and left.
The empty room fell silent once again.
After a while, another subordinate suddenly rushed in and reported, “Mr. Silvermoon, Lucas is flying a plane personally to help with the rescue. Lochlan's fire engine had also arrived at the scene.”
Silvermoon sneered, “So what? The fire spread long ago, and not even God could save them now.”
Meanwhile, the temperature had risen significantly in Imperial Hotel.
Howard was trembling as he was choking on the smoke. His throat was burning, and he was in pain.
Yet, he had just carried a colleague out again with difficulty. The quilt on his body was scorched by the fire, and it was barely protecting him from the fire.
However, he couldn't bear to take it off. At that point, he got so tired and dropped to the ground as he gasped for air.
Suddenly, Howard heard a series of footsteps coming his way. His eyes lit up, and he stood up abruptly. “Who's there? Are there firefighters nearby? We're here!”
Right then, he heard a cracking sound. A piece of security door was damaged by the fire, and it was falling down from above.
He then looked up frightenedly and saw the door falling from right above.
At the most critical moment, an agile figure came in from the window of the corridor and kicked away the security door that was on fire.
The security door slammed into the wall heavily and made another loud bang. The impact had even left a black mark on the white-colored wall.
Howard raised his gaze and saw a familiar figure dressed in a hospital gown.
“Lyn?” Howard was in shock.
He then quickly regained his composure and realized that Ashlyn had a soaked sheet over her body. The sheet was so wet that water was dripping down onto the floor. Still, he couldn't help but yell, “It's dangerous here! Leave now!”
