Standing outside the venue, amid the crowd, Moira was panting heavily. Her delicate cheeks were flushed all over, and steam was shooting out of her ears from anger.
"Damn it, how dare he hang up on me?!" She clutched the phone firmly and clenched her jaws.
"Moira!" Jonah finally found an excuse to get away from his family. He squeezed through the crowd and trudged in her direction.
"No, what if they run into more of them…" Face filled with concern, Moira urgently pushed through the crowd and made her way toward the stairs.
Meanwhile, Jonah, who had been completely disregarded, stared dejectedly at Moira as she moved farther away.
On the fourteenth floor, with a hefty punch to knock out the last of the robbers, Gerald sensed some movement and swept around to look at the stairs.
The door slammed open to reveal two masculine figures.
"You're here." Gerald looked at them with a nod.
"Everything okay?" Trey asked with a deep voice.
"With Gerald and I around, what could go wrong?" Jerry came out of nowhere with a gust of wind.
Looking at the pair, he raised a brow slightly, "Have you taken care of everything downstairs?"
Ocho responded with a dash of arrogance, "Mr. Locker, they are just a bunch of thugs who can't take a beating."
"Just a bunch of thugs?" Jerry frowned, "Did you run into a woman on your way up? Or a tall and husky man?"
Woman? Husky man?
Trey and Ocho shook their heads collectively.
Jerry immediately lost his poise, "Bloody hell! Their leader has gone up to the top floor!"
Without hesitation, Gerald spun around and charged up the stairs with a murderous air.
"What happened?" Trey asked.
"The boss and his daughter are in the suite room." Jerry responded and promptly disappeared into thin air with another gust of wind.
"Boss!" Trey and Ocho shouted, then stomped on the ground furiously before shape-shifting into a pair of dragons and following suit.
Meanwhile, at the suite room entrance of the top floor, the Federal Senator was being escorted out of the lift and toward the stairs by a group of gunmen dressed in Ministry of Defense uniform. Jacob stared at them as he put his phone back into his pocket calmly and collectedly.
"Sir, it is dangerous out here, please leave at once!" A gunman with a machine gun in his hands walked up to him in large strides.
Jasmine, who had her hands cuffed, was taken aback as she said softly, "Boss, this is the man Bugsy was after!"
Bugsy?
Andrew shut his eyes briefly before shooting them wide open. "Just a bunch of thugs?" Jarry frownad, "Did you run into a woman on your way up? Or a tall and husky man?"

There was a ball of fury in his eyes as he glared at Jacob, "Bugsy is dead! Kill him!"
What?!
Dave and Jasmine's jaws dropped to the ground, Bugsy, the invincible man who possesses the bones of steel, who was unharmed after throwing himself at a bomb, is… Dead?
Edwin was just as surprised. Aren't you the captain of the special forces who was sent to protect me by the Ministry of Defense? Why do you look like you're one of the robbers?!
With a click, the man who was disguised as a member of the special forces pulled the trigger on his
gun.
Bullets pushed through the barrel, into the air, accompanied by gun fire and smoke.
Jacob's eyes turned cold as he took a step forward amid the gun fires.
Under the protection of his Invisible Battle Qi, he caught the traveling bullets with his bare hands and with a flick of his wrist, bounced them back in the opposite direction.
'Thud!' The gunmen had no time to respond, and before they realized, blood went everywhere as they fell to the ground breathless.
"You got what you asked for!"
Dave broke the handcuffs by simply twisting his hands, then removed the shades off his face.
Under the reflection of lights, two beams of laser fired from the center of his gray pupils.
