She was too young to know how to take the elevator and no one had bothered to help her get downstairs.
However, she was very perceptive for her age. She saw the scene unfold and knew immediately that bad people were trying to hurt her father.
She would not let her father be harmed.
She continued wailing.
Her small face was a mess of tears and snot was bubbling out of her nose.
When she finally caught her father’s eyes, she choked back her tears and stopped crying. She glanced at the elevator behind her.
At that moment, the elevator door dinged open.
“Daddy, d-don’t worry! I’m coming!” She finally broke into a smile and ran into the elevator.
Sebastian, who was watching helplessly from downstairs, was speechless.
His mouth fell open. All the blood drained from his face and his eyes widened.
That’s a cargo elevator! And it’s going up!
Sebastian’s face paled. His anger disappeared in an instant. It even slipped his mind that he was holding a gun in his hand.
“Oh my God! Where did that little girl go? Why did she get into that cargo elevator? Didn’t she know that the elevator is going up?”
“Oh no! Something terrible is going to happen!”
The crowd, too, reacted in fright when they saw Vivian get into the wrong elevator.
Sebastian’s brain buzzed in panic.
He whirled around immediately and rolled his wheelchair into the elevator that he had taken downstairs. He had completely forgotten that he was still holding a gun.
The man who was holding the woman at knife-point was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.
What is happening? Why did that kid suddenly appear and cause such a ruckus?
The men panicked. They had no time to rethink their strategy. A murderous light flashed in the man’s eyes. He was going to play one last desperate hand.
Hiss!
A sharp, piercing noise sounded through the air.
Sebastian had just entered the elevator when he caught sight of a figure rushing towards him. He only had enough time to cower in his wheelchair. A knife pierced through him, pinning him to his wheelchair.
“You lunatic! I’ll end you today!”
It was the man who had held the woman hostage.
Since his kidnapping of that woman had failed to provoke Sebastian, he decided to provoke Sebastian directly.
Sebastian’s eyes narrowed. As the man attempted to stab him a second time, his hand whipped out, quick as lightning, and grabbed the man’s wrist.
“How dare you!” he spat at the man disdainfully. A murderous light shone in his eyes.
Suddenly, the woman who had been standing some distance away started rushing towards them. She pulled out a long, thin dagger and began to stab at Sebastian viciously.
