Chapter 30 Real Fire!
The fire did indeed reignite.
"The fire couldn't spread underground; it started burning on the 14th floor this time."
It's said that the fire started on the 30th floor the day before yesterday, and now it's on the 14th floor. Will it start on the 1st floor next?
Burning twice in three days, Genji Heavy Industries seems to have a special connection with fire.
Chu Zihang led the way, using the alchemy knife to carve a "path" for climbing into the elevator shaft wall, and the three of them finally made it up.
It's a little embarrassing to admit, but Huo Yuhao was carried up by Erii.
There was nothing he could do. Although Lu Mingfei's body possessed immense potential, he was as if bound by layers of chains, unable to exert much strength at all.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the situation upstairs, then said to Chu Zihang, "Senior brother, thank you for taking Erii out. Let's go through the sewers; the fire won't reach there, it's safe."
Erii immediately grabbed Huo Yuhao's sleeve and took two steps away from Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang's gaze swept over Erii's tightly clenched hand. He showed no emotion whatsoever, simply calmly suggesting, "You take her away. I'll go meet Caesar."
Huo Yuhao did not immediately agree. He knew that he was not in good condition at the moment, and even if he found Caesar, the support he could provide would be limited.
"Senior brother, can you confirm the boss's exact location?" He asked a very practical question.
Even if Huo Yuhao tells Chu Zihang Caesar's location now, it won't make much difference. Caesar is constantly moving, and even if Huo Yuhao goes to find him, it will be a matter of luck.
"But Caesar can find me," Chu Zihang said after a brief silence.
Caesar's Kamaitachi is a perception-type Word of Power, and it does have the ability to find Chu Zihang, but no one is sure if Caesar will keep the Word of Power active indefinitely, since using Word of Power requires stamina.
"Let's go together," Huo Yuhao said helplessly.
Originally, it was a three-person team that came, and now they have brought Erii along. If in the end the three of them still retreat, leaving Caesar alone to deal with the danger, it would be unreasonable and illogical.
Huo Yuhao believed in Caesar's strength, but now that the Dragon King of the Demon Clan had arrived, and Genjiro, who had been promoted, had also come, Caesar would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of Word of Power.
"Then let's do it now."
Having made their decision, Huo Yuhao and Chu Zihang went upstairs without hesitation.
Although the elevator was still shut down, there were still stairs, weren't there?
There are far more entrances and exits upstairs than downstairs. There's no way around it; there are too many departments and a lot of external business. If there are too few entrances and exits, we won't pass the fire safety test.
It is said that Genji Heavy Industries was fined a huge sum by the authorities because of the fire the day before yesterday.
They were just unlucky; a fire actually broke out the day before the fire department and other relevant departments were scheduled to come for an inspection.
These past few days, Genjiro has indeed been in a state of anxiety, beset by internal and external troubles. He had only just taken over the family's power, and now that Tachibana Masamune was still alive, even if he was promoted, he would only be acting patriarch. He hadn't even mastered the job yet, and a bunch of thorny messes had already followed.
However, no matter how much trouble he faced, even after three days without sleep, it did not affect Genji's fighting ability.
"Royal" level hybrids are super hybrids that may theoretically be even higher than Lu Mingfei's S-level rating, with frighteningly high physical strength and energy.
At that moment, Caesar fired a whole magazine of bullets, and it did have an effect; at least those two guys were no longer invisible.
However, it seems that Wang Jiang has no intention of confronting Genjiro head-on. His strength is obviously not bad, but under Genjiro's rapid and fierce attacks, he always maintains a relaxed and evasive posture.
Caesar observed the battle with a cold eye and judged that the king's true combat strength might be slightly inferior, but he didn't understand why the king dared not fight back.
A king should not be so incapable of even retaliating!
And what that guy said about "the fire starting"... isn't that some kind of metaphor, but the literal meaning? Did this guy arrange for someone to set the fire beforehand?
Two fires in three days? This skyscraper of Genji Heavy Industries has had an incredibly unfortunate fate.
Caesar's mind raced, and he suddenly realized that the situation before him was like a murky fog, making it unclear what the intentions of both sides were. So he decisively began to retreat.
This is a 30-story building; if we don't run now, we might get stuck here.
Genji Heavy Industries is not as safe as it was two days ago.
Time was short, and who knows if the fire protection systems inside the building, which had just been tested, had been fully restored.
"How can anyone dare to work in a place like this?" Caesar was astonished, thinking of the operators on the 14th floor and the employees on the 3rd floor.
Do the Japanese really not value their own lives?
They're literally risking their lives to work!
Caesar would never gamble his life on the fact that Genji Heavy Industries could survive two major fires in just three days.
He does indeed want to avenge Miss Aso, but he also needs to preserve his health to marry Nono!
He hadn't seen the red-haired priestess for far too long, and her smile grew ever clearer in his mind. He absolutely could not allow their next meeting to be separated by the boundary of life and death, leaving her only to face a cold corpse.
If he dies, will the guys at the Japanese branch send his body back to Portofino?
A rational analysis suggests that even out of fear of pressure from the Academy and the Secret Party as a whole, the Snake Clan might not have gone too far as to let the remains of a Gattuso family heir simply "vanish into thin air."
Besides, there's that damned Gattuso family!
Although Caesar always resisted the control of his family and their cold set of values, he never denied that all the power, resources, and even the vision and confidence he possessed at the top of the world were deeply rooted in the soil built by the Gattuso family with their overwhelming power and endless wealth.
This "gift" that he loathed was precisely the premise that allowed him to be willful, to challenge the rules, and even to contemplate issues like "dignity after death" at this moment. The shadow of his family was omnipresent, and even when contemplating death, it remained the invisible hand that determined the scale of his affairs after his death.
As Caesar ran, pondering his "afterlife," he was suddenly caught in the corner of his eye by a figure wearing a pale Noh mask, moving silently beside him like a ghost. This sudden visual shock caused him to stumble and nearly fall flat on his face.
"Don't run this way!" Caesar roared.
Before he could finish speaking, a cold blade slashed through the air! Caesar had no time to think; his body instinctively lunged to the side and rolled on the ground to narrowly avoid the attack.
"Yuan Zhisheng, I haven't even had a chance to do anything yet! Why are you cutting me?"
Genjiro, like a ruthless execution robot, said: "Just something I did."
Caesar cursed and delivered a sharp side kick, forcing the king, who was trying to approach silently, back half a step. He then used the momentum to turn and rush towards the emergency passage entrance that he had already scouted out with "Kamaitachi".
"General! Can't you find the exit yourself?"
