After a long time, Selena's calm voice came from the garden, "... perhaps."
Only Ache knew the answer as to why he was so determined to protect Hattie.
...
Hattie dragged Ache and ran up to the fifth floor, only to run into someone blocking their way.
The person aimed their gun at Hattie and was about to pull the trigger when Hattie threw the micro-bomb in her hand.
Boom...
Amidst the smoke and dust, Ache pulled Hattie and ran in the opposite direction.
The person blocking their way was instantly killed by the explosion, with only one left with a ferocious expression, wanting to kill Hattie.
Hattie pulled out the gun that Fraser gave her, aimed it at the person, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger.
With a "bang," the man's forehead had a hole in it.
He probably didn't expect to die at the hands of a thirteen-year-old girl, his expression was shocked as he fell to the ground.
In the moment that Hattie killed the man, Ache took out a mini computer, and his pale fingers operated it quickly.
At the same time, the signal in the top floor monitoring room suddenly became unstable, with crackling noises, and the screen flickered on and off.
"What's going on?!"
"Someone is hacking into the monitoring system..."
"Damn it! It's the young master! When did he learn this?!"
"The intercom signal is also being disrupted, where are they now?!"
"They are still on the fifth floor, go catch them!"
...
Ache briefly cut off the monitoring screen on the fifth floor, then pulled Hattie into a storage room.
Locking the door from the inside, they didn't have time to catch their breath. Ache worked on destroying the monitoring system throughout the building with his computer.
After about three minutes, Ache took his hands off the keyboard and turned to look at the person next to him.
Hattie sat on the cold floor, hugging her knees, her face was pale, and there was not a drop of blood on her.
She stared at a point in space with a blank expression, after seeing that scene, she had killed someone for the first time...
Ache was pressed against the girl's icy body, his voice hoarse as he struggled to sound gentle. "... It's not your fault."
Hattie turned her head with a wooden expression.
When Ache met her gaze, he recoiled as if he had been electrocuted. "... They wanted to kill you, so you killed them. You're a good kid, and the ones who tried to kill you were bad people."
Hattie looked at the boy's pale profile, clenched the e-cigarette hidden in her pocket, and said with a trembling voice, "I have to stay alive."
"Okay."
"No matter what, I have to live. That's my promise..."
"Okay, you will definitely live."
Suddenly, footsteps approached from outside the door, and two teenagers who had been whispering quietly stiffened their backs.
