Chapter 608: Heartbeat Moment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Continent M, in a tall and bright house, a woman in gorgeous clothes was engrossed in the drawing board in front of her.
The sunlight danced on her shoulders as if it had fused with the golden light on the drawing board.
As the last paint fell,
“That’s great, Li Na. Your painting skills are really getting better and better. If you can gain Master Danny’s favor this time, Mom’s years of hard work will not be in vain.”
“Mommy, I will definitely win Master Danny’s love.” The woman called Li Na turned her head. She had an extremely beautiful Oriental face, but there was a Western romance between her brows.
At this moment, a servant stepped forward. “Madam, Miss, Mr. Blue asked us to send this invitation over.”
“Okay.” The mother and daughter took the invitation excitedly.
The person called Madam looked at the words on it and her expression turned ugly.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Li Na took it and saw that it was Chinese. The signature was from the Wei family.
“Go and tell him that I’m not feeling well and not suitable for a long journey. Ask him to send someone else.”
“Madam, Mr. Blue said that you must go personally.” The servant was calm.
“Alright, I understand. You can leave.” The middle-aged woman waved her hand and fell into deep thought as she looked at the invitation in her hand.
Time pa.s.sed second by second in Gaia City. The cheers by the bonfire had reduced greatly, and the entire city began to slowly quieten.
The hotel, which had a hole blown up in it, was like a strange person with a missing arm in the night. It stood in the city center and looked into the distance.
Due to the high quality of this hotel, many people from other countries stayed in it. Even if it exploded, they would try to avoid it.
However, the fight a few days ago was too intense, so it could not help but be affected.
Many of the windows in the hotel were still lit. The people here were not afraid of war, as they were used to it.
An Rao carried her bag and walked into the hotel. Gaia City had signal detectors all over the city. When Xia Yu and An Rao entered the city, they did not bring any communication devices. At that moment, they were really alone. An Rao was frightened, but she maintained her calm on the surface.
The detector at the entrance of the hotel tested her. Seeing that her skin was tender and she did not look threatening, he let her in.
An Rao’s palms were covered in cold sweat as she forced herself to calm down and walk upstairs.
Xia Yu had told her that the electricity here had not completely recovered. An Rao went around to a blind spot of the surveillance cameras, entered the corridor, and climbed ten floors.
An Rao was covered in a layer of sweat and panting, but she did not dare to breathe loudly. In this quiet corridor, she was afraid that even her breathing would disturb someone.
The journey to the top floor was relatively smooth.
An Rao saw the big bell.
Once a bell with a diameter of nearly two meters rang, it would be the most iconic bell in the city. The others hidden in the city and the reinforcements outside the city would immediately know where the target was.
Just as An Rao climbed to the roof, gunshots appeared in the west of the city.
An Rao knew that it was Xia Yu.
As expected, gunshots sounded. Standing on the top floor, she could see teams of cars rus.h.i.+ng towards the west of the city. An Rao took the opportunity to hug the clock beside her and bang it on the big bell.
Because she had used too much strength, the skin on An Rao’s delicate hand had been sc.r.a.ped.
]Dang! Dang! Dang!
Three times.
When no one noticed, the workers hidden in the city’s sewers, the disabled people who were begging, and the customers who were buying fruits gradually walked to the darkness and rushed in the same direction.
The others also noticed the unusual sound of the bell. In the darkness, the patrollers began to gather at the hotel.
An Rao returned the way she came.
Because she was too fl.u.s.tered, she did not know that she had lost her shoes when she ran back.
When she finally arrived at her floor, An Rao let out a long sigh and ran towards her room.
Just as she was about to cross the corner, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. There were footsteps in front.
An Rao held her breath and stepped back barefoot. However, the elevator not far behind her had just sounded the notification for the floor to be reached.
An Rao felt as if she had fallen into a fire. All the pores on her body exploded, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
The footsteps approached and the elevator dinged. An Rao felt that her heartbeat was so loud that it could draw people over.
At that moment, An Rao felt as if she could smell death.
An Rao steeled her heart and grabbed her hair, preparing to act as a sleepwalker. She was about to make the first move and turn around the corner.
A hand suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth. Then, he quickly dragged her into the room and closed the door quietly.
At that moment, a team of inspectors happened to walk past the door.
