The firefighters followed Evelina's instructions. The firefighting efforts focused on the west and slowly moved east until all the flames were extinguished, leaving only smoke behind.After the fire was out, Adrian returned to Evelina, who had been waiting for him. They were both drenched in sweat, even though it was night and the wind was blowing quite strong.Evelina asked, her brow arched with concern, "Adrian, are you alright?"Adrian nodded. "Yes, I'm fine."Evelina breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're safe and the fire is out."She looked at the southern part of the harbor, untouched by the flames. "You really saved me from a huge loss."Adrian answered, "I'm a board leader at Strong Harvey Group now. Your loss is my loss too."In the middle of this chaos, Evelina finally smiled, feeling that she wasn't alone.Roran, on the other hand, sneered. "The fire may be out, but the governor will still demand compensation."He looked at Adrian with a cynical stare, then turn

The smoke in the small room grew thicker and blurred Adrian's vision. The golden particles kept coming. The people watching the CCTV footage did so with tension because they could not see Adrian, only the sparks from the golden particles.Meanwhile, Adrian approached the plant while holding his breath, then knelt beside the pot. Quickly he picked one vukiofras fruit and one leaf, then put both into his mouth.The fruit and leaf of the vukiofras reacted and formed a compound that spread to Adrian's lungs until his chest felt hot. Adrian's face turned red and the light veins in his body appeared.He inhaled the poisonous smoke and then exhaled. But the smoke did not harm his lungs.Adrian smiled because the method he used had worked to counteract the poison of the Vukiofras smoke. Next he opened the box and used a small scoop to take three healthy Vukiofras plants that had already borne fruit."I think this is enough."Then he closed the herbal storage box and pressed the button on the w

Roran stared sharply at Adrian. "Do not accuse me carelessly!""Do you think it makes sense for me to offer financial help to Evelina if I were the one who burned the harbor?"Roran rose from his chair and approached Evelina. "Evelina, don’t listen to his nonsense!""I came all the way from the capital to see you! For our friendship!""There is no benefit for me in burning that harbor!"Several restaurant guests began to pay attention to the four of them. Roran and Evelina looked at each other. Roran's explanation sounded reasonable. But she also trusted Adrian, who had helped her so far.Before the hotel security arrived, Roran spoke again in a low voice that sounded sincere. "Evelina, I respect you as a friend.""Don’t destroy our friendship just because of a stranger you do not know!"Evelina was silent for a moment. Then she spoke. "Alright. I also respect you and our friendship.""That is why I will invite the arsonists here. We will hear directly who ordered them."Both of Roran

The faces of the security guards were pale as if drained of blood."Damn! They have bombs!"The squad leader immediately reported this."Reporting an emergency. Please send the police and the bomb disposal team immediately. There are ten perpetrators preparing to carry out a suicide bombing!"Then he gave an order, "No one shoot! I repeat, no one shoot!""Everyone retreat!"The hotel security team immediately evacuated the restaurant. They could not possibly take the risk that would cause the hotel to explode.The hotel staff also immediately evacuated the guests. Panic was unavoidable, and posts about the situation on social media began to appear.The leader of the hotel security team spoke from outside the restaurant, "Sir, can you get out of there?""I cannot let this hotel explode!"Adrian walked a few steps, but the dog mutants blocked Adrian's path."We will not let you leave this place!"Adrian stopped and looked at the mutants one by one with indifference. "Are you sure you ar

Adrian glanced at the digital clock. Only fifteen seconds remained. He had to deal with the bombs immediately.Adrian spoke firmly, "Evelina, leave now!"Then he turned to Anders, "Take her!"Anders approached Evelina. She looked at Adrian with wet eyes. But in the end she nodded and ran out of the restaurant with Anders.After that, Adrian raised both his hands to his sides. A golden glow appeared along the veins of his arms. Then he lifted the ten bodies without touching them.The bodies were then hurled through the restaurant glass. Shards of glass flew everywhere. The bodies floated in the air with the active bombs still attached to them."Five, four, three, two, one..."The ten bombs exploded simultaneously in the air."BOOM!"The blast wave spread in all directions, but nothing hit the building. The glass on the upper floors shook violently but did not break. The glass on the ground floor was only hit by hot wind.Evelina, who was already outside, stared at the sky with wide eye
