Chapter 639: [Bonus Chapter] chopper on fire
[EMERGENCY STAIRCASE]
BOOM!
"Kyah!" Ivy almost fell down the stairs as the entire building suddenly shook. Thanks to the arm that grabbed her waist, she didn’t fall down the stairs.
Looking up, her eyes shook a bit before catching the pair of eyes mirroring her.
"Are you okay?" Dane asked under his breath, and she nodded.
"Thank you," she said in relief, only to hear Tiger’s annoyed voice.
"If that’s settled, then how about you guys try to stand on your own?"
Ivy and Dane slowly turned their heads to the man two steps ahead of them. He was clinging to the railing. Her eyes slowly fell on Tiger’s other hand, which was holding Dane’s arm. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she looked at Dane, only to realize Dane was able to catch her because he was the closest to Tiger and the man held Dane so he wouldn’t fall.
In other words, Dane wouldn’t be able to save Ivy if not for Tiger. The two of them would’ve missed a step and fell because of the tremor.
"Tha — thanks," she stuttered, reaching for the railings to get back her balance. Meanwhile, Tiger pulled Dane until the latter was safe.
"What’s going on?" she blurted out under her breath, gazing up.
Dust from the ceiling descended on them, entering her eyes that made her shut and rub them. Dane, on the other hand, jumped to the step behind her to cling onto the railing. He could still the vibration in it, making him wonder was what going on on the rooftop.
"I don’t know," Tiger breathed out as he turned on his heel. "But what I do know is that I don’t like this feeling. Dane, stay behind Miss Wei. And Miss Wei, keep a distance from me. We don’t know what lies ahead."
With that being said, Tiger immediately jogged his way up the stairs. Meanwhile, Ivy and Dane didn’t say anything and just followed Tiger’s instructions. Dane stayed behind Ivy and Ivy kept a safe distance from Tiger. They had no choice. Leaving Tiger’s line of sight only meant more danger. Although this situation was already dangerous in itself, having Tiger around gave them more chance of survival and they wouldn’t need to rely on luck or their destiny.

BOOM!
A few levels above Tiger’s group, everyone also felt the impact of the explosion on the rooftop. Even Silas, who was leaning against the wall while keeping the Old Madam Zhu hostage, swayed on the side. Butler Fu clung to the railing while Dominic missed his balance. Thankfully, Bear was standing behind him and stopped him from falling.
"Boss." Bear held his breath as his pupils dilated, eyes on the ceiling and catching small cracks in it.
"Hera," Dominic whispered as his heart suddenly thudded, almost breaking through his ribcage. But alas, he didn’t have any means to go to the rooftop without going through Silas.
"Ugh..." Silas grunted in pain as the impact only brought pain to his existing injury.
"Madam!" Uninterested in the explosion, Butler Fu yelled as he caught an opening. He skipped the steps, using all the remaining energy to save the Old Madam Zhu while Silas was recovering from the impact.
"Get away!" Despite being wounded, Silas immediately caught Butler Fu approaching. Thus, he raised the rifle from the Old Madam’s temple to her butler. "I said get away!"
BANG! BANG BANG BANG!
Butler Fu stopped and instinctively jumped to the side to avoid the bullets. It was stupid, and he knew that. With their position, there was no place to hide. If one opens fire, they would surely get shot. That was why Butler Fu immediately thought about how careless he had become, which led to his death.
Death...
Deep lines appeared between Butler Fu’s brows as he lowered his arm. He looked at them in surprise, baffled at how he managed to dodge the bullet despite standing in plain sight. From the corner of his eyes, he caught Dominic holding a pistol in Silas’s direction.
A thin smoke ascended from the end of the muzzle as Dominic stood motionless in his position. Butler Fu’s eyes widened a little, guessing Dominic was able to repel the incoming bullets by aiming at them. Such skill! When did he learn that?
Before Butler Fu could say anything, he also caught a few people behind Bear. He first saw Dane and the woman beside him, Ivy. His eyes then veered to the person in front of the newcomers and recognized Tiger. Just like Dominic, smoke was coming out of Tiger’s weapon.
"Bear!" After a few seconds of pin-drop silence, Dominic’s voice thundered.
"Yes!" Bear didn’t waste a second, clutching the railing and jumping on it. For a man with such a humongous physique, he was able to jump from the railing to the last stair landing, heading to the rooftop like a daredevil.
"What?" Silas held his breath in disbelief at Bear’s action as the man reached the last several steps, heading to the rooftop through a shortcut. He panicked for a moment but then calmed down when Bear didn’t even cast him a look. Instead, Bear ran up the very few steps and kicked the door open.
As soon as the door flew open, the smell of smoke and fire wafted through their nostrils. Grandma Zhu immediately coughed out loud, snapping Butler Fu from his trance.
"Madam!" Butler Fu’s yell brought everyone back from their daze. Except for Dominic and Tiger. Those two had been mentally present and weren’t surprised by Bear’s agile action.
"Don’t come!" Silas yelled once more, pointing his rifle at them as he peeled his back from the wall. "Don’t come close to me!"
Silas kept yelling on and on, dragging his grandmother up the stairs where the explosion happened. He also didn’t know why he was going in here, knowing something terrible was happening on the rooftop. However, he couldn’t go down now because Dominic and Tiger were already there.
The rooftop was the only way.
"Don’t shoot," Dominic ordered, watching Silas take the stairs with great difficulty with his injuries and Grandma Zhu’s weight. He took a careful step when Silas was almost on the rooftop.
"Butler Fu," he called and then looked back. "Dane, Ivy, stay here. Tiger —"
"Yes!"
The second Silas went past the door, Dominic and Tiger wasted no time in following him. But the moment they arrived on the rooftop, all they saw was a chopper caught on fire.
