Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 2097

Zeke asked, “Which floor do they work at?”

“The sixth floor,” Elliot answered.

Zeke immediately turned to Tyler, Nameless, and Killer Wolf. “Follow me. We're going to save some people.”

“Got it!”

Without any delay, four of them prepared themselves to dash into the building.

Meanwhile, Elliot and the others felt chills run down their spines.

The boss must be mad. The fire is so huge that even firefighters don't dare to enter. And now they're charging in without even wearing any protective gear. Are they trying to get themselves killed?

Nonetheless, the employees were even more touched.

They could not believe that their boss was willing to sacrifice his life just to save his employees. He was basically treating them as their family.

Seeing that, Elliot stopped Zeke at once. “You must not go in. If you do, there won't be any way out. Even if the firefighters are here, there's no guarantee that they can get you out. Besides, none of you have any protective gears on you.”

To his surprise, Zeke replied, “It's not a problem. Let's go!”

Zeke freed himself from Elliot's grip and charged into the building.

People who were at the same level as Zeke and Tyler were basically invincible to fire.

They could use their energy to ward off the flames, leaving them unharmed.

Furthermore, Zeke could even solidify his energy to protect himself against the high heat.

Meanwhile, Elliot and the crowd stood frozen in the same spot, unable to return to their senses for quite some time.

In fact, tears started welling up at the corner of their eyes.

At the same time, there were two girls in the pantry on the sixth floor, hugging each other as they wept.

They were the new employees of Linton Group, Stella and Thalia Diaz.

When the fire broke out, both of them fled in a state of panic. However, they accidentally ended up at a dead end because they were not familiar with the building's fire exit.

Before they knew it, it was already too late for them to escape since the flames had blocked the exits.

Hence, they had no choice but to retreat into the pantry.

They tried their best to seal off all the gaps using wet towels. Nonetheless, the fire was too big and smoke could still penetrate through. Besides, the high temperature made breathing difficult for the two girls.

Feeling hopeless, they hugged each other and wept continuously.

Thalia, the younger sister, wailed, “Stella, do you think we'll... I miss home. I miss Mom and Dad.”

Stella put up a brave front and said, “Don't be scared, Thalia. The firefighters will definitely rescue us.”

“The fire is blazing. I bet even the firefighters can't get in. Stella, what should we do?” Thalia asked.

“Why don't... we jump out of the window?”

“No! No!” Thalia refused hurriedly. “You know I have a fear of heights. Besides, even if we jump down from here, we'll probably die...”

Stella took a deep breath and dispelled the notion.

The truth was she did not dare to jump off from the sixth floor too. She was merely saying that to console her sister.

As time went by, more smoke seeped into the pantry, causing the sisters to cough violently. Even their vision started to become blurry.

After some time, Stella could not hear Thalia's coughing sound anymore.

“Thalia, what's wrong? Please talk to me, Thalia,” she said, panicking.

Thalia mumbled with much difficulty, “Stella, I... I saw Mom and Dad. They've prepared my favorite candy... Here... Come have some...”

Stella could not suppress her emotions anymore, and she began to wail, “Thalia, wake up. Please wake up. Don't fall asleep...”

Thalia was on the verge of passing out and had started to hallucinate.

She looked as though she could die anytime.
