Chapter 152: You Big Liar
Chapter 152: You Big Liar
The assistant whimpered a couple of times with grievance, then started worrying about Damian Knight: "How is Young Master Knight doing? Why hasn’t he come out yet..."
Summer Monroe looked at the towering flames engulfing the building and hurriedly grabbed the fire captain, anxiously asking, "How much longer can the building hold out?"
The fire captain shook his head: "Given the tilt, less than half a minute. We can’t go in anymore, your friend... he can only rely on himself..."
Summer Monroe suddenly became anxious: "If you won’t go in, then I’ll go in myself!"
As she spoke, she lifted her foot and rushed towards the building.
However, she had barely run a meter before the fire captain, with sharp reflexes, intercepted her by the waist.
"Miss! It’s about to collapse, going in would be asking for death! Calm down!"
"Let me go! I have to go in! He must be in trouble!"
"Calm yourself!" The fire captain held Summer Monroe’s waist tightly while glancing at the building that was about to collapse.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Wait here, I’ll go in one more time! You cooperate with the doctors and go to the hospital, I promise you, I’ll bring your friend out!"
Summer Monroe finally calmed down; in her current physical state, rushing in would indeed be seeking death.
She bit her lip and stopped struggling, instructing the fire captain, "Then please be safe, if you feel something’s wrong..."
She paused, saying with difficulty, "Withdraw immediately."
"Got it!" The fire captain stepped towards the building.
However, he had only taken a few steps when a loud sound came from the building, and the entire structure began to collapse!
The ground suddenly shook.
The fire captain immediately stopped in his tracks and shouted, "Retreat! Everyone move back!"
Saying this, he grabbed the nearest Summer Monroe and pulled her back.
"Boom——"
A series of huge sounds almost pierced the sky.
In a matter of seconds, all they could see was a sky full of dust, even the sun above was obscured by the dust, and the sky turned from a clear blue to a hazy gray.
Summer Monroe, pulled by the fire captain, staggered and fell to the ground.
When she looked up again, all she could see was dust in the air, obscuring everything.
And the once towering building was now gone, leaving only a dust-covered ruin.
Summer Monroe’s face turned pale, all color drained from her face.
Tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks——
"Damn it!" She punched the ground forcefully, crying out, "Damian Knight! You liar! You promised me you wouldn’t die in there! You liar! Big liar! I’ll never trust you again!"
Just then, several sports cars pulled up behind her.
Isaac Ross’s voice came from behind: "Miss Monroe! Where’s Young Master Knight?"
Summer Monroe lifted her tear-streaked face and looked back.
She was sobbing, pointing towards the dust, "He, he died... sob... It’s all my fault! I should have gone with him to find that child, it’s all my fault!"
"Dead... dead?" Isaac Ross’s eyes widened in shock, shaking his head in disbelief, he laughed, "Miss Monroe, don’t joke with me like this."
Summer Monroe opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out were sobs.
The blood on Isaac Ross’s face instantly drained away.
Not a joke...?
He stared blankly at the ruins.
At this moment, the dust over the ruins was finally being slowly blown away by the wind.
The dust and ash gradually dispersed, and the view over the ruins finally began to clear.
