Chapter 28


    Leah opened the door immediately. She was shocked by the overwhelming smell of blood. The man in


    front of her was covered in blood, but he was still calm and didn’t seem to be injured. It was someone


    else’s blood. Leah figured it out after she recalled the screams she heard previously.


    “What happened outside?”


    “Don’t bother.” The man pulled her arms and took her away. They passed through the corridor while


    people were rushing at them. A de appeared out of nowhere in the man’s hand, and he shed all of


    them with it. Their blood almost sttered on Leah’s face.


    Leah was already feeling numb about seeing him kill people. The man held her hand tightly. It was a


    mess around her. She knew this man was the most dangerous person here, yet she had never felt so


    secure before.


    Leah was breathing heavily because she couldn’t catch up with the man, so she had to run. A ray of


    white light appeared in front of her followed by the howling cold wind at night. Leah’s head cleared


    suddenly. She wondered if she was finally going to escape from the ce?


    The man pushed her towards the door, “Go! Don’t ever get caught again. You might not be so lucky to


    meet me again.”


    “Thank you.” Leah raised her head and looked into his eyes.


    He sneered, “If you are prettier, I might be reluctant to let you go.”


    Leah knew he was joking. She held onto the door handle of the iron door as the wind blew on her hair


    from behind.


    “What is your name?” Leah asked him.

    The man shot a nce at her and only said, “Go! The further, the better,” He didn’t tell her his name.


    He gave Leah another push out the small backdoor and closed the iron door behind her slowly to block


    Leah’s


    vision.


    It was bustling inside Euphoria Land, but it was just a narrow and dark alley outside. The wind at night


    was chilling. Leah held her jacket tightly and started to walk faster.


    Suddenly, she smelled something burning.


    Leah’s eyes widened. She was shocked when she looked in the direction where the smell wasing


    from. She saw mes in the dark alley. Euphoria Land was on fire! The fire was big and spread quickly. It


    couldn’t be extinguished with water.


    Was he the one who set fire to Euphoria Land? Did he n to burn the ce to ashes from the start?


    Leah was terrified. She couldn’t help but think she would also perish in the mes if she hadn’t gone to


    ask that man for help.


    Leah snapped out of her daze when she heard sirens approaching her location. Euphoria Land was on


    fire, and it would surely attract the police and the media. She could not stay here any longer.


    Leah walked quickly and started running through the alleyways. Her footsteps were getting heavier, and


    her head was spinning. Leah didn’t know how far she ran. She was trembling from the cold.


    It was pouring at three in the morning. Leah’s speed started to slow down. She dared not walk on the


    busy streets and could only walk along the quiet highway. Although she had a clouded consciousness,


    she still remembered the direction ton’s house.


    Her breath was getting warmer. Leah realized she must have had a fever caused by the inmmation of


    her wounds from the pouring rain. However, she still had a long way to go.


    “Screech!”


    Leah heard the sharp screeching noise of a vehicle braking. Its light was shining in her eyes, blinding


    her. With a loud bang, Leah was hit and flew three meters away. She fell to the ground and passed out.


    The rain was pouring. Someone came down with an umbre, and two men rushed toward Leah.


    “Sir, it’s a youngdy. She passed out.”


    An old man with a white mustache squatted down to check if Leah was still breathing and touched her


    forehead.


    “Her forehead is burning. She has so many injuries on her. She might die if she doesn’t receive


    emergency treatment.”


    Another man raised his umbre slightly. He was wearing an expensive suit and looked like he is in his


    forties. When he heard what the old man said, he frowned slightly, “Mr. Carling, take her back to the


    White residence.”


    Mr. Carling carried Leah on his back and put her inside the car after hearing the man’s orders.


    Back on the streets of Euphoria Land at quarter to three in the morning, the firefighting team already


    extinguished the fire when Han arrived. The investigation team’s patrol cars were parked outside. A


    police line was put up surrounding a ten-meter radius around the ce to stop everyone from getting


    close.


    Han walked in with Ben. He took a nce and wanted to rush into Euphoria Land.


    “Sir, you can’t go inside. We are still cleaning the scene.” An investigation officer in a ck uniform


    stopped Han.


    Han stared at him with his cold eyes and spoke in a cold voice, “Get lost.”


    The investigation officer was dumbfounded. Right then, a fat man, who was the officer’s team leader,


    came over, “You’re so senseless. This is Mr. Howard. Move over!”


    Han didn’t even look at him and walked straight into the underground gambling den.


    The ce was burned to ashes. Everything has been burned down. The only thing remaining was the


    acrid smoke.


    Han was very angry.


    He walked towards B301 while the investigation team’s leader advised him politely, “Mr. Howard, don’t go


    there. That is where the fire started. You might get hurt.”


    Han ignored him and kicked down B301’s door.


    “Cough!” The leader was choked by the smoke that came out of the room.


    Meanwhile, Han’s expression was grim. It was supposed to be a locked room but it had been burned to


    ashes. There was no one inside. Ben saw Han’s expression and came forward, “Mr. Howard, perhaps


    Ms. Leah left the room before the fire started. After all, chaos must have broken out, and it’s possible for


    her to escape during that moment.”


    However, the team leader didn’t agree with Ben’s opinion, “We’ve ordered our men to check all the exits.


    All of them are locked. No one could have escaped this ce.”


    Ben stared at him. Han stayed silent and walked inside the room. He crouched down and picked up


    something on the floor. It was a silver earring.


    Han’s eyes turned into a chilling stare, “Find her. Even if she’s dead, I want to see her body.”


    Ben was shaking in fear. He had seen that terrifying expression before when Leah fell into the ocean.


    Fifteen minutester, Ben and the investigation tearn leader ran back while gasping for air.


    “Mr. Howard, we found a burnt female body at the female toilet. She was wearing. The clothes you


    bought previously


    The earring fell from Han’s hand. He walked quickly toward the body covered with a white cloth. Her feet


    were exposed, and she was wearing the high heels that Han bought.


    Han’s head went buzzing.
