But Adrien, we couldn't back down!" Adam squeezed through and said, "We have to maintain our image at all times and not let anyone down about the heroes!"

As he spoke, Adam straightened his posture, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked absolutely pumped.

Emmeline happened to be with Abel, and they both saw his demeanor, instantly bursting into laughter.

Adam turned around abruptly and saw Emmeline and Abel. He sheepishly scratched his head and said, "Abel, Emma!"

"Adam, Adrien," Abel chuckled. "Today, the two of you instantly became the center of attention as heroic figures. It's truly an honor for the Ryker family. Ryker's stocks have skyrocketed today."

"Well, that's fantastic!" Adam exclaimed. "Spreading positive energy is truly uplifting, and I must say, the feeling of being a hero is absolutely exhilarating. From now on, I think I'll focus my efforts on becoming a hero."

"You should have taken me to the ward first," Adrien said. "Didn't you see a wounded soldier lying there?"

Adam and Abel bent down, pushing the trolley towards the front elevator.

Emmeline and Lizbeth followed from behind.

"That's terrific," Emmeline whispered. "Liz, did you find this accident strange?"
