Chapter 654


    At this moment, everyone was thoroughly shocked.


    When X Quest fell off, Christopher Lancelot jumped down after her without caring about anything


    else. While holding onto a red curtain on the second floor with one hand, he grabbed X’s hand


    tightly with his other.


    The instant X felt Christopher’s warm hand upon hers, she found herself calming down instantly.


    Her thoughts also began to clear.


    However, her heartbeat was still beating out of control. It felt as if there was a little motor installed in


    her chest.


    X would never have thought that this man would jump after her even though it was so


    dangerous.


    From the second floor, it was a long way down to the ground. Even if one didn’t die from the fall,


    one would end up bing handicapped.


    Just like that, the two of their bodies dangled in the air. Christopher wouldn’t let go of X’s hand no


    matter what.


    Due to the amount of force he was using, Christopher’s veins bulged on his neck and the back of


    his arm.


    When everyone saw that Christopher was able to grab hold of X, they immediately calmed down.


    Jeremy let out a long sigh quickly before rubbing his sweat off. He quickly walked over to the railing


    and looked down.


    By then, X’s bodyguards had already tackled the female staff to the ground.


    Meanwhile, the others quickly ran to the second floor.


    Other employees quickly brought an air mattress and an automatic intor beneath X and


    Christopher.


    Very soon, they filled the air mattress up.


    “Close your eyes…” Christopher said gently.


    His eyes seemed to be smiling even when he had a neutral facial expression on his face.


    X obediently closed her eyes.


    In the next second, Christopher let go of the curtain, and the two of them began falling.


    Everyone downstairs and upstairs was watching them.


    To avoid getting X hurt, Christopher hugged her tightly in his arms.


    When theynded, Christopher’s back was the first to hit the air mattress. He acted as X’s


    human cushion.


    Finally, everyone watching the whole thing unfold could stop worrying.


    Christopher was still holding X tightly in his embrace.


    X was still on top of him. Because of him, X didn’t feel impacted at all from thending.


    Even so, X’s heart was still beating wildly.


    When she recalled what had just happened, she still felt terrified. If Christopher hadn’t been there,


    she didn’t dare think of what would have happened to her.


    From the angle at which she fell, she would’vended on her head. If that were to happen, she’d


    have been dead for sure…


    Still feeling a little beside herself, X remained on top of Christopher. Her face was pale.


    Christopher didn’t move. Instead, he continued to hold her in that position. “What’s the matter?


    Have you fallen in love with my body?” he asked.


    X’s heart immediately tightened. She quickly collected herself and got up, pulling away from his


    embrace.


    “What are you saying?” she blushed after hearing what Christopher said.


    Christopher chuckled.


    Right after that, Christopher’s bodyguards quickly huddled over and pulled him up carefully. They


    swept the dust off his body.


    “Master Lancelot, we have already captured the waitress. What do we do with her?”oOne of the


    bodyguards asked respectfully.

    Christopher smiled and looked at X.


    “Take her outside. We’ll interrogate her carefully,” he said coldly.


    “Let’s call the cops…” X said.


    “Why do we need cops when I’m around?” Christopher immediately waved it off. He sounded very


    annoyed.
