At this time, groups of students or teachers were already walking out of the elevator. Because of Wells, the initiator of the event, Laka knew exactly how many people were inside. The method of dividing people into groups of ten was to make it easier to count the number of people.
Outside the hotel, students and teachers attending the exchange meeting were loaded onto trucks and separated. The first trucks loaded had already left, while Li Jia kept observing the crowds, but even with the last group, she still couldn't find the person she was looking for.
“Jessica and Sandy aren’t among those people. Heh, it seems things are getting more and more complicated. But where did they go?” Li Jia kept asking herself this question. Suddenly, she thought of the empty banquet halls on the top floor. Although all the doors were locked, the balconies outside could be jumped over from the balcony of the hall where the ball was held. Could Jessica and Sandy be hiding in there?
"Master, look!" Angel's voice temporarily interrupted Li Jia's thoughts. A new situation had arisen in the hall. More than a dozen thugs, each carrying several C4s, had set the timer on the walls around the hall and then posted it on the walls. "A bunch of lunatics! So many C4s on the first floor, if they really explode, this building will basically be razed to the ground!"
Li Jia calmly observed the group of thugs' actions and said, while Angel behind her also realized the seriousness of the situation. "Master, should we fight our way out now? With our skills, leaving here shouldn't be too difficult!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave you here alone, because of the pendant you're wearing around your neck." Before Emily could voice her doubts and concerns, Li Jia interrupted Angel, thus allaying Emily's worries.
Upon hearing Li Jia's words, Angel immediately set aside her own thoughts. Originally, she believed that Emily was someone she had just met. There was no need to risk bringing her along. With her and Li Jia's combined abilities, leaving this place wouldn't be too difficult. However, adding Emily would reduce the success rate by at least half!
Although Angel didn't like doing this, she wouldn't argue with Li Jia's words, nor would she dwell on them. Li Jia's decisions had never been wrong in Angel's mind, and Angel had already gleaned some meaning from Li Jia's words: "Perhaps my master is interested in a little girl, or wants to play the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress game!" Angel thought to herself, unaware that her guess was completely unfounded. The Emily before her was actually her master's younger sister.
As everyone in the lobby evacuated, the hotel gradually returned to calm. Li Jia and Emily also prepared to find an opportunity to leave, as the timer on the C4 indicated fifteen minutes until the explosion. Li Feng, however, had no time to dismantle the device. Who knew if those lunatics had planted others elsewhere? Even if they removed the visible ones, there were still hidden ones. Besides, they didn't have that much time to dismantle it; their priority was to find a way to leave!
"Should we just rush out now? Their men have already left." Emily, holding an AK, suddenly asked. Li Jia and Angel almost simultaneously pointed to the floor of the hall. "If you want to get headshot, go try going out!" Angel said to Emily with a smile. On the hall floor, four or five red dots moved around, clearly indicating snipers were monitoring the area. Fifteen minutes later, the entire building was blown to bits.
Upon seeing the red dots, Emily immediately shrank back, a cold sweat instantly breaking out on her forehead. At that moment, Angel pulled a rolled-up piece of paper from her mouth, looking smugly at Li Jia and Emily, "Luckily I prepared this."
"A floor plan of the Kawa Hotel?" Li Jia looked at the unfolded blueprint in Angel's hand and then remembered that her apprentice had come to kill someone. It was not surprising that she had a floor plan of the hotel; if she didn't, it would seem unprofessional.
“We are here now. You can get here from the left. After passing through this corridor, you will reach the hotel’s basement. Once you enter the basement, the distance from here to here is absolutely safe. Once we get here, open this door and we will reach the underground parking lot of the Kawa Hotel. There are six entrances and exits in the underground parking lot, which is enough for us to leave!” Angel’s white fingers drew on the map, and soon a clear route appeared in front of Li Jia and Emily.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Emily said anxiously to Angel and Li Jia, and immediately went to walk into the hall according to the route drawn on the blueprint.
"You don't want to live anymore!?" Angel grabbed Emily, who was trying to leave, and pointed again at the red crosshair that was moving around on the floor of the hall. The coldness in her eyes made Emily's heart tighten. The suffocating feeling made her feel as if the girl in front of her had become the Grim Reaper, who could easily take their lives at any time.
"Don't rush, Emily. Getting from here to that corridor requires extreme patience, otherwise we'll become targets before we even get there." Li Jia placed her hand on Emily's shoulder, her eyes filled with pure concern, which made Emily even more confused about Li Jia.
"Alright, little girl, have you figured it out yet?" Li Jia turned around and asked Angel, who was staring at the red crosshair on the floor.
