Chapter 2097


    Zeke asked, “Which floor do they work at?”


    “The sixth floor,” Elliot answered.


    Zeke immediately turned to Tyler, Nameless, and Killer Wolf. “Follow me. We''re going to save some


    people.”


    “Got it!”


    Without any dy, four of them prepared themselves to dash into the building.


    Meanwhile, Elliot and the others felt chills run down their spines.


    The boss must be mad. The fire is so huge that even firefighters don''t dare to enter. And now they''re


    charging in without even wearing any protective gear. Are they trying to get themselves killed?


    Nheless, the employees were even more touched.


    They could not believe that their boss was willing to sacrifice his life just to save his employees. He was


    basically treating them as their family.


    Seeing that, Elliot stopped Zeke at once. “You must not go in. If you do, there won''t be any way out.


    Even if the firefighters are here, there''s no guarantee that they can get you out. Besides, none of you


    have any protective gears on you.”


    To his surprise, Zeke replied, “It''s not a problem. Let''s go!”


    Zeke freed himself from Elliot''s grip and charged into the building.


    People who were at the same level as Zeke and Tyler were basically invincible to fire.


    They could use their energy to ward off the mes, leaving them unharmed.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Furthermore, Zeke could even solidify his energy to protect himself against the high heat.


    Meanwhile, Elliot and the crowd stood frozen in the same spot, unable to return to their senses for quite


    some time.


    In fact, tears started welling up at the corner of their eyes.


    At the same time, there were two girls in the pantry on the sixth floor, hugging each other as they wept.


    They were the new employees of Linton Group, Ste and Thalia Diaz.


    When the fire broke out, both of them fled in a state of panic. However, they identally ended up at a


    dead end because they were not familiar with the building''s fire exit.


    Before they knew it, it was already toote for them to escape since the mes had blocked the exits.


    Hence, they had no choice but to retreat into the pantry.


    They tried their best to seal off all the gaps using wet towels. Nheless, the fire was too big and


    smoke could still prate through. Besides, the high temperature made breathing difficult for the two


    girls.


    Feeling hopeless, they hugged each other and wept continuously.


    Thalia, the younger sister, wailed, “Ste, do you think we''ll... I miss home. I miss Mom and Dad.”


    Ste put up a brave front and said, “Don''t be scared, Thalia. The firefighters will definitely rescue us.”


    “The fire is zing. I bet even the firefighters can''t get in. Ste, what should we do?” Thalia asked.


    “Why don''t... we jump out of the window?”


    “No! No!” Thalia refused hurriedly. “You know I have a fear of heights. Besides, even if we jump down


    from here, we''ll probably die...”


    Ste took a deep breath and dispelled the notion.


    The truth was she did not dare to jump off from the sixth floor too. She was merely saying that to


    console her sister.


    As time went by, more smoke seeped into the pantry, causing the sisters to cough violently. Even their


    vision started to be blurry.


    After some time, Ste could not hear Thalia''s coughing sound anymore.


    “Thalia, what''s wrong? Please talk to me, Thalia,” she said, panicking.


    Thalia mumbled with much difficulty, “Ste, I... I saw Mom and Dad. They''ve prepared my favorite


    candy... Here... Come have some...”


    Ste could not suppress her emotions anymore, and she began to wail, “Thalia, wake up. Please


    wake up. Don''t fall asleep...”


    Thalia was on the verge of passing out and had started to hallucinate.


    She looked as though she could die anytime.


    Sadly, Thalia did not reply. Instead, her voice became softer as time passed.


    Ste too could not hold on much longer. She felt as though her head was about to burst from the pain.


    Suddenly, everything in front of her became extremely bright, and she started hallucinating.


    In the end, she slumped to the ground lifelessly, and her breathing weakened.


    “No! No!” Thalia rafusad hurriadly. “You know I hava a faar of haights. Basidas, avan if wa jump down


    from hara, wa''ll probably dia...”


    Sta took a daap braath and dispad tha notion.
