Vowing Revenge!

Boom～

Crash～

The entire building, after the explosion, resembled one that had been demolished by a blast.

Various sounds of falling and breaking echoed around.

The glass facade of the building had obviously been shattered.

Some shards of glass, having lost their balance, fell from the high altitude, making a startling crackle as they hit the ground.

The nearby vehicles were also shaken, their alarms shrieking loudly.

Beep beep beep, honk honk honk…

All kinds of noises resonated throughout the area.

Of course, there were also women’s screams and cries, as well as the agonized shouts and wails of the injured.

Outside the building, it was absolute chaos.

And at this very moment.

Inside the building.

At the time of the explosion, the fierce blast wave spread from the underground garage upward.

The entire building seemed to be lifted and then slammed down hard, trembling violently.

This shaking caused many items inside the hotel rooms to fall and break upon impact with the floor.

Wall-mounted TVs, ceiling chandeliers, decorative items on tables…

And in this corridor.

The vibrating effect caused chunks of decorative panels to come loose and fall.

Wu Jie, who was shielding Tang Xiao, was hit on the back by one of the panels.

Fortunately, the ceiling panels were generally light, and being hit by one wasn’t a big deal.

But the intense shaking caused some switch joints to collapse.

So, even though the hotel’s emergency power system kicked in and restored lighting and power,

there were still lights flickering on and off, dimming and brightening intermittently.

Even some places emitted a sizzling sound of electric current.

The dust that fell created a flurry.

It didn’t take long for Wu Jie and the others to be covered in dust.

Of course, Tang Xiao was an exception.

She was protected beneath Wu Jie and was unharmed.

“It must have been the underground garage or the first or second floor where the explosion occurred!” Tang Xiao pushed Wu Jie off and stood up.

“Could the building be on fire?” Cai Xu asked in a somewhat panicked tone.

Not completely losing his composure, he was fairly mentally resilient.

Having lived abroad for a long time, he was evidently well-prepared for various emergencies.

“The fire sprinklers haven’t activated, which means it was just an explosion!”

Tang Xiao said to a special agent, “Find a room and check out the situation outside!”

“I’m going too!”

Cai Xu scrambled to his feet and hurriedly followed.

Tang Xiao turned her head to glance at Wu Jie beside her, who was dusting off his clothes.

“Who was the one calling me a fussy woman?

I think you’re the fussy one here!”

Wu Jie frowned, retorting annoyed,

“Damn!

I tackled you to save you, and you have the nerve to insult me?”

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.

“You’re supposed to be a science student, don’t you know that the shock wave from an explosion, when transmitted through solid objects, is more dangerous than through the air?”

“Remember, anytime you lie down, it’s not about being flat on the ground!”

“The shockwave won’t just kill you, it might also cause internal injuries!”

Wu Jie grumbled and complained,

“If I had been a soldier, would I need you to teach me this?”

“But what the hell is going on?

Why did you say earlier that if we didn’t leave, we’d risk dying here?”

Tang Xiao snorted, “You’ve called them the ‘three big bullies’, do you think they’d let us win the bid easily?

Without creating obstacles or causing some destruction, what kind of bullies would they be?”

Wu Jie was stunned, “But you can’t expect them to blow up the whole building, can you?”

Looking around, Tang Xiao pulled out a gun from her suit’s inner pocket and casually said,

“How could they?

The explosive yield wasn’t that large; I guess it was placed somewhere on a lower floor, set to detonate either by timer or remote control!”

“Since they didn’t choose to detonate during the press conference, it looks like they were targeting our fleet in the underground garage!”

Wu Jie stayed silent, but stared intently at Tang Xiao.

Noticing Wu Jie’s astonished gaze, Tang Xiao glared and asked,

“What are you staring at?

This gun…it’s easy to buy on the black market in Aseyah; it’s less than 500 Gold Coins and comes with two spare magazines!”

“Did you prepare one for me?”

Suddenly, Wu Jie grabbed Tang Xiao’s wrist, looking at the scabbed wound on the back of her hand.

“And, how did you get this injury?”

Tang Xiao pulled her hand back and explained,

“With your shooting skills, you’d better not hold a gun, lest you accidentally hurt our own people!”

“As for this wound…

I got it by accident when I took you to the hospital.

It’s been disinfected and bandaged; it’s nothing serious now!”

Wu Jie chided, “Why aren’t you more careful?

It was just a nap; I took it all too seriously!”

With that, Wu Jie grabbed his backpack.

He fitted two sets of twelve darts in total onto his arms, like bracers.

This way, he could quickly pull out and throw the darts, or use them as arm protection in close combat.

Anyone daring to punch or kick would find it akin to striking a steel plate, guaranteed to be painful.

Just as he finished preparing, Cai Xu and another person returned.

“Damn it!

The fleet I called for has been attacked in the underground garage!”

“It’s too chaotic outside; many people are panicking and running around, and a lot of soldiers are carrying wounded out of the underground garage.”

“It seems this explosion caused quite a few casualties!”

Cai Xu was sweating profusely and looked panic-stricken.

It was a close call!

He was relieved that he had sent his colleagues away earlier, and even more thankful that he had come up to notify others instead of foolishly waiting in the underground garage.

Indeed, his luck was not bad.

They hadn’t even descended to get in the car when a huge explosion occurred.

If they had already been in the car…

they would probably be blown to bits by now.

And the special agent who went to scout the situation added:

“I think the perpetrator didn’t have the chance to enter the explosion site, he must have placed the explosives in advance and estimated roughly when the military convoy would depart, then detonated it remotely!”

“Because when the military came to escort us, the streets and underground garage would definitely have been swept clean under martial law, he couldn’t get in, so he couldn’t see what was happening, he had no idea whether we had gotten into the vehicles or not, he just estimated a time and…”

He didn’t finish his sentence!

Boom!!

Another deafening explosion followed.

The entire building shook violently.

This time, all four of them didn’t take cover on their own initiative.

Compared to the first time.

This explosion was even more powerful; the whole building shook as if a colossal titan had fiercely rattled it.

The shaking was so intense that Cai Xu and his companion stumbled and couldn’t stand steady, and were thrown to the ground with a thud.

Wu Jie was startled into blinking; after all, when do ordinary people ever encounter such conditions?

But Tang Xiao was very calm, her eyelids didn’t even flicker.

It was as if she had anticipated there would be a second time.

The lights in the hallway suddenly went dark then, after a few flashes, stopped working altogether.

It was likely that the second explosion had directly damaged the emergency power lines in the basement.

Feeling a slight vibration in the building, it was quite possible that a collapse was occurring below.

“We must leave this building quickly; it could collapse at any moment!” Tang Xiao said seriously.

“Collapse?

No way!

This is a reinforced concrete structure; it can’t be so easily destroyed, right?” Cai Xu asked anxiously.

“Better safe than sorry!

Let’s get out of here!”

Wu Jie grabbed Tang Xiao and rushed towards the fire stairs.

Cai Xu, not daring to delay, hurriedly followed.

After such violent explosions, even if there was power, the elevator couldn’t be used.

Because it was uncertain whether the elevator had been damaged by the shocks, especially the locking mechanisms.

If they had loosened, that would really be a death wish.

Luckily, the building wasn’t very high and it was a unified reinforced concrete frame structure with good seismic and destruction resistance.

Unfortunately, when they got to the third floor, they found that below was almost entirely collapsed.

The stairwell was extremely dangerous, in some places it hung in mid-air with exposed rebar.

And where the first and second floors below should have been…

they had already collapsed into the underground garage.

It was like a massive ground collapse had occurred.

Wu Jie let go of Tang Xiao and immediately checked the railing.

The railing went from the top to the bottom of the stairs in a ‘zigzag’ fashion, back and forth.

So, even though the space below was empty, the railing of the stairwell was still suspended in mid-air.

“I’ll go down first to keep watch.

Follow one by one, and take it slow, don’t panic!”

Wu Jie said, and not caring whether Tang Xiao objected, immediately clung to the railing, found the right spot, then suddenly let go.

With a whoosh, he jumped down and, in mid-air, suddenly stretched out his hand, firmly grabbing hold of the railing hanging below.

This action…

Cai Xu felt his skin crawl just watching it.

It felt just like something from a movie.

Tang Xiao wasn’t concerned; with Wu Jie’s skills, how could there be a problem?

Shortly, Wu Jie landed on the collapsed floor, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

“It’s safe!

Come on down!”

Tang Xiao, without any hesitation, turned and threw the suitcase and backpack from the special agent down.

Wu Jie didn’t reach out to catch them; instead, as if kicking a ball in mid-air, he deflected the falling backpack and suitcase diagonally to lessen their impact and prevent them from breaking on the hard landing.

Afterward, Tang Xiao was the first to hold onto the railing.

Below the railing, there was a grid-like guard plate to step on.

With composure and at a steady pace, Tang Xiao descended.

Following behind her, Cai Xu was trembling with fear.

He wished there was a rope he could tie himself to for a slow descent, rather than having to walk down these open stair railings.

Despite feeling terrified, the weight of the three of them wasn’t much.

The solidly welded railings were fully capable of bearing their weight.

Had there been a few more people, it might have been a different story.

Once his feet touched the firm concrete slab of the floor, Cai Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up at the floors above, he felt quite shaken.

The hotel, hit by two violent explosions, had its lobby and first two floors completely wrecked, resembling ruins.

Dust filled the air, mixed with the smoky stench of explosives, billowing outwards.

From a distance, the sound of alarms was piercing.

Ambulances, fire trucks, as well as numerous armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles had arrived.

The streets and roads outside the building were already chaotic.

Many people had fled, leaving the streets in disarray.

The Presidential Palace’s guards who came to provide protection suffered considerable losses.

From within the rubble, there were still wails and screams of agony, clearly indicating that there were injured people buried underneath.

But without enough demolition equipment, it was difficult to dig them out.

Many injured soldiers and bodies were being carried out on backs or stretchers, leaving a bloodstained trail, a stark and harsh sight.

Heart-wrenching screams…

A bloody and gruesome scene…

A hotel in shambles…

Placed amid such a horrific sight, Wu Jie felt the urge to rampage for the first time!

Damn the three big bullies, to hell with international forces!

They actually dared to try to blow me up!

If I don’t avenge this, I swear I’m not human!
