Chapter 140 Explosion At The Building,A Beauty with Multiple Masks
Vinson barged in looking very serious. Shocked, Arielle stood up. “You…” “There’s an explosion, hurry
up and get out of here!” He grabbed her hand and ran away as fast as he could. The people at the
dressing room were stunned for a second and then scrambled out of the place at once. By the time
Arielle got out of the dressing room with Vinson, there was chaos everywhere and flames were seen
blazing from the stairwell.
“Gasoline! Someone spilled gasoline!” A staff screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran past the
dressing room. While running toward to exit, Arielle asked Vinson, “What’s going on? Is this a prank?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore he could answer, his phone rang. It was Carter. He answered the call. A nervous Carter spoke
over the phone, “Vin! Where are you? That dude escaped, leaving a note behind which says stop
wasting effort because it’s doomsday for us.” “Okay, make a police report now. There’s an explosion here
at Southall Group.” “What? An explosion? Darn it! It must have been those who helped that dude
escape.
They knew you’re there, and… Are you all right? We’re on our way.” “Don’t worry, I’m okay for now. I’ll
hang up now.” Vinson continued running as he updated Arielle, “It’s not a prank, but an attack. Hurry up!”
She did not ask further. Holding his hand tightly, she quickened her steps. When they were about ten
meters away from the main entrance, they realized that the crowd stopped moving. “What’s happening?
How do we get out?”
Vinson asked fiercely. Iris approached them, crying breathlessly, “The entrance… It’s locked. None of us
can get out of here. The fire is spreading fast. Nobody knows if there will be more explosions. Mr.
Nightshire, Ms. Sannie, are we going to die here?” Arielle released Vinson’s hand and held Iris’ hand to
comfort her. “Rest assured that we won’t die here. If the entrance is locked, then break it open!” When
there’s a will, there’s a way. I’m not going to die today, not here, not now. She asked Iris to stay on the
spot while Vinson and her squeezed themselves through the crowd to get to the entrance.
There were a few security guards trying to pry the door open. A few desperate employees even lifted the
stool and smashed it on the glass door. To their dismay, no matter how hard each person tried, the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseemingly fragile glass doors showed no signs of damage. One of the security guards even tossed away
the tool in his hand and lamented hopelessly, “It’s useless… After the terrorist attack in another country
two years ago, the glass doors in our company have all been replaced with A-grade tempered glass
which is harder than diamond.
Even a bomb can’t break it, let alone the chair.” Arielle walked toward the security guard and
reprimanded him, “Don’t utter anything negative! How is this door shut tight? With a lock? If so, pick it.”
Dejected, the guard shook his head. “It’s not so simple. This is a smart door. I’ve tried it a few times at
the security room just now. The smart system has been destroyed and it can’t detect anything. There’s
no way we can open it…”
Vinson interrupted, “Where’s the security room?” The guard revered Vinson and pointed at the floor
above them without any further ado. “It’s the first room on the first floor…” Vinson nodded and informed
Arielle, “Someone must have modified the program. Stay here, I’ll go and take a look.” “No, I’ll go with
you!” “Don’t take the risk. Stay here!”
