Romel was silent for a moment, then his words, which had been somewhat firm earlier, now changed to be softer. "If you don't come back, your father here could be fired from this company, Lidya."
"Huh? Why is that, Dad?"
"The new big boss has seen your performance in the last days before you were fired by Mr. Aji. At that

399 Cooperation
PRRRAAAANNNGGGA loud sound of shattering glass was heard when John McClane had wrapped his hand with the suit jacket he was wearing and slammed it against the glass.After that, John McClane quickly succeeded in seizing the long-barreled firearm held by one of the robbers outside the window.But even though John McClane had moved as fast as he could, it was still not fast enough for John McClane, so a robber succeeded in shooting John.John McClane was fortunate because when he broke the window glass, Ken immediately became alert and stood ready to give John McClane help.Therefore, when the bullet from the robber shooting John McClane was aimed at John McClane’s head while he was busy seizing another robber’s firearm, Ken immediately threw a small cloud.This small cloud then became a shield for John McClane’s almost bald head, so John’s head survived the enemy’s shot.John McClane, who was not very aware of what had happened to him, immediately shot with the firearm he was using to
398 Helping Two Hostages
Hearing the sound of many people’s footsteps, Ken was worried about the safety of John McClane and the other man, so he immediately invited the two of them to move away from the place where he had killed the ninjas earlier.“Why?” John McClane asked, confused, while looking at Ken full of questions.The two of them did not have ears like Ken; they did not hear the sounds of footsteps on the stairs below. Only Ken could hear those footsteps, because the sound of those footsteps was still somewhat far from this floor.“Someone is coming. We have to hide. Come on,” Ken said while pointing inward.John McClane followed Ken’s words, as did the East Asian man around 40 years old who later introduced his name as Chen Long.The three of them moved away from the door they had just passed through to go deeper into the floor where Ken had met the ninjas earlier.Ken still walked somewhat slowly; he kept telling John McClane and Chen Long to keep walking forward.But Ken was afraid that the sound
397 John Mc Clane
Those two people, especially the East Asian man around 40 years old, appeared to be saying something.Not a single sound was made by those two people, but from the movement of their lips, Ken immediately knew what the two of them meant.Apparently those two people were two hostages, and according to them, they had succeeded in finding firearms and they would soon shoot the ninjas from behind.They asked Ken to shoot together toward the ninjas in front of Ken.Ken began to see the two people starting to draw handguns. The position of the two people was behind the 6 people dressed as ninjas but not wearing face coverings.But unfortunately, one of the ninjas, the one at the very back, succeeded in seeing the movement of these two hostages, so the ninja immediately threw a kind of secret ninja weapon.The secret weapon was a sharp star-shaped object that could be thrown to kill its opponent.This development actually made Ken panic because Ken knew how dangerous that star-shaped weapon w
396 Saving the Employees
Ken sensed something different about the people inside the room behind the door in front of him.The people in there were not like before, relying only on firearms, because the people in there had more than that.That made Ken somewhat worried. Ken waited until all his employees had passed him.Ken also kept waiting until he heard them opening the door to the rooftop floor above.With his highly sensitive hearing, Ken could focus his hearing toward something far away, something behind the closed door in front of him or something one floor above where Ken was at this moment.With his hearing, Ken could listen as his employees began to be heard trying to open the door to the rooftop, and at the same time, his ears also heard behind the door in front of him, and he began to realize that the people behind the door in front of him were starting to walk toward him.Ken prepared inner energy in both his hands. He waited for the enemy’s arrival while continuing to monitor his employees, who w
395 Take Turns Laughing and Mocking
Ken remembered one of the techniques from the Divine Palm skill.This technique could produce many cloud-shaped attacks simultaneously in many directions.This technique was indeed not as strong as the high-level Divine Palm technique that formed a giant palm made of thick clouds capable of destroying anything, but although its impact was not too powerful, it was still enough to kill one strong man with each small cloud-shaped attack.This technique was useful for killing many targets in a single attack and was very suitable for the current situation, where Ken faced many robbers in front of many hostages.This technique was useful for killing enemies without them being able to resist anymore.Ken began calculating who would be included in his current targets.Both his palms could produce dozens of small clouds at the same time, attacking toward the directions Ken targeted.The problem was that several robbers were apparently in places currently unseen by Ken because they were behind
394 Negotiation
Therefore, Ken immediately said, “Let me be the one to talk to that SWAT team.”Sergei turned toward Ken and said, “What do you mean?”“I can persuade those SWAT members not to attack. I know them. They will listen to me. Please, do not let there be any casualties among the hostages. You do not need to be like this; you are only after the contents of the vault. Right?”“Of course.”“In that case, you can get what you want without killing the hostages. Right?” Ken coaxed.Sergei seemed to hold his chin. After that, he said to two of his men, “Take him upstairs.”“Yes.”“Be on guard in case he finishes you off.”Sergei’s subordinate laughed mockingly hearing Sergei’s words. “A person like this, even if there were 10 of them, I could still handle them alone.”Sergei laughed hearing his subordinate’s words. After that, Sergei said to Ken, “Remember, if those SWAT members still force their way into the 22nd floor, then you will be the one we finish off. Understand?!”Ken again showed his t
