The sirens grew louder and louder, as if heralding an imminent, irreversible disaster.
A deep, thunderous roar caused the ground of the entire street to tremble.
At the top of the Noah Building, approximately around the eightieth floor, a dazzling circle of white light suddenly burst forth.
Soon after, the glass curtain wall of the entire floor shattered outward as if struck by an invisible giant hammer.
Countless burning fragments, enveloped in thick smoke, turned into a rolling fire cloud charging into the stormy night sky.
This sudden explosion completely ignited the shock of all onlookers.
Everyone thought that those two superhuman figures had started a new round of battle.
"Get back! Everyone get back!"
A police officer in charge of commanding the scene shouted angrily into a megaphone, his face ashen:
"Expand the cordon! Everyone immediately move away from this area! This is not a drill, it’s an emergency safety incident!"
Police officers, clad in raincoats, formed a human wall with their bodies, pushing the agitated crowd backward with all their might.
Screeching police sirens, blaring car horns, the screams of the crowd...
All these sounds mixed together, making the city, which was originally under a canopy of blurred lights, exceedingly noisy at midnight.
At that moment, a van marked with the "East Capital TV Station" logo skidded to a halt at the edge of the cordon.
The door slid open, and a female reporter dressed in a TV station vest with immaculate makeup and a cameraman carrying a camera quickly jumped out.
"Quick! Point the camera at the building and lock on to the smoking spot!"
The female reporter commanded rapidly.
At the same time, she tidied her rain-soaked bangs and showed a professional calm expression to the camera.
"Dear viewers, this is a live broadcast of ’News 24 Hours’ from East Capital TV Station."
She raised the microphone to her mouth, her voice clear and steady, devoid of the earlier urgency:
"I am now on Tianhe Avenue in the central district. Tonight, our city’s landmark, the Noah Building, has encountered an emergency and is suspected to be deliberately sabotaged."
"Just moments ago, there was a violent explosion inside the upper floors of the building."
"The extent of casualties is still unknown. Police have sealed the scene. As we can see, the entire building..."
She reported the on-site situation at a rapid pace.
Then she turned around and handed the microphone to a young man standing closest by, who looked utterly shocked.
"Sir, may I ask, what did you see just now?"
"Huh? Are you talking to me?"
The young man seemed yet to recover from the shock, pointing at the building, stammering:
"I saw it, I saw it all!"
"First, there was a person, climbing barehanded up the outside wall of the building, ’swish swish swish,’ just like Spiderman!"
"Then a while later, two people flew out from the top floor and started fighting in mid-air."
"Really, it was like a movie, first there was bang bang bang, then crack crack crack, and they even glowed!"
"Yes, yes, yes, he’s not lying!"
A middle-aged uncle nearby saw there was a camera and excitedly squeezed in, eager to speak:
"Those two people can fly, one in a suit, with a wave of the hand, shards of glass flew like a whirlwind!
"The other wore a white mask, a naked man, even fiercer!"
"He directly leaped from the opposite building into mid-air, and with one punch sent the guy in the suit flying back, crashing a hole in the building’s wall." Content orıginally comes from novel~fire~net
"Afterward, the strong man flew back again, dove into the hole. I’m sure he’s going in for the kill."
"A naked strong man? How exaggerative..."
The reporter’s lips twitched, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
After all, this is a serious news program, not a science fiction show...
Seeing her disbelief, the middle-aged uncle got anxious, gesticulating wildly with spit flying:
"My eyesight is 20/20, I saw it crystal clear!"
"Let me tell you, I’m Wang Dachun, been around over forty years and I’ve never seen a scene this grand..."
The reporter’s facial expression stiffened, forcing a slight smile.
Obviously finding such extraordinary descriptions troublesome, yet still maintaining professional decorum, attempting to steer the topic back on track.
Amid the hubbub of the crowd, Xiao Shuai stood silently.
He paid no attention to the reporters or the clamorous pedestrians around him.
All his focus was locked on that building continuously spewing thick smoke, his eyes brimming with undeniable worry.
Just then, a familiar surge arose in his mind.
Soon after, a voice echoed.
Xiao Shuai’s heart tensed, quickly responding through the Spiritual Link:
"Chairman, how are you? Are you hurt? Is there anything you need me to do?"
His series of inquiries was extremely urgent, fearing the worst possible answer.
Fang Cheng’s voice came, still steady, but unable to hide a hint of fatigue:
"Prepare a set of clean clothes, deliver them to the underground parking lot of the office building on the west side of the Noah Building, quickly."
"Yes, I’m on my way."
Xiao Shuai didn’t ask another word, instantly turning and squeezing through the crowd.
He could feel that the chairman’s mental state didn’t seem too well.
But on second thought, this was also normal.
After all, the opponent was a monster capable of controlling storms and flying in the air.
For the chairman to have defeated it was already an incredible miracle!
Xiao Shuai forcibly suppressed the surge of emotion and admiration in his heart, striding swiftly toward a black sedan parked at the street corner, deftly opening the car door and firing up the engine.
On the back seat, three branded paper bags sat quietly.
Inside were brand-new underwear, a coat, trousers, and a wet black hoodie.
As it turned out, when he saw the chairman taking off his outerwear and climbing the building barehanded, he had anticipated the subsequent needs and prepared everything in advance.
