Chapter 36

Realizing that this matter had still not been resolved, Xiao Sa’s facial expression suddenly changed, and the air around him became more oppressive, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Then suddenly, a red flash appeared in the sky. The lightning gradually became brighter and brighter, s.h.i.+ning brightly in the horizon as if to demonstrate its power.

“What’s going on?” Someone in the crowd stood up and asked.

“The way it’s flas.h.i.+ng in the sky is really beautiful.” Another person exclaimed.

Xiao Sa’s heart sank and his eyes darkened as his mind emptied of almost all thought. He didn’t need to think hard to recognize that this was what his kitten had said was the sign of the apocalypse.

“Ah… Watch out!” someone screamed after a few moments of shocked silence.

Everyone could see that the lightning in the sky was getting closer and increasing in intensity.  The abrupt storm filled their hearts with an inexplicable feeling of fear.

The lighting kept getting closer and closer to N city, and there also appeared to be something falling from the sky.

With a loud sound, the lightning finally struck down.

“Ah… isn’t that…”

Before he even finished speaking, Xiao Sa had already ran outside like a mad man. Having grown up in N City, how could he not identify the hotel where little Jing was staying?

“Brother…” Zhou Ji shouted as he rushed to keep up with Xiao Sa.

However, Cheng Shaoxin moved his body to block his path: “Hey slow down little brother Zhou, something hasn’t been handed over yet.”  “What do you want? Step aside brother, I won’t let you off easily this time.” Zhou Ji’s usually gentle eyes flashed over with a fierce look. He who has always been too softhearted refused to let these people bully him.

Cheng Shaoxin knew that there was safety in number and thus was not intimidated by Zhou Ji. At the wave of his hand, a group of people surrounded them.

“I should explain myself more clearly. If you leave, don’t come back. You have to think carefully, because after the handover is complete, there will no longer be a place for any of you here with me. ”

None of the one hundred members who remained with Xiao Sa even glanced at him, they only hurriedly rushed out. Cheng Shaoxin was disappointed by the outcome, but he neither felt bad nor cared. He had only wanted to pressure Zhou Ji into immediately handing over the money. And so Zhou Ji had no choice but to let the others leave first and he would follow later.

Han Yan thought for a moment, then turned around and ran out with the rest. Xiao Sa had spoken harshly to him, yet he couldn’t ignore the long history he had shared with his brothers. Instead he just decided to curse Bai Jing, who was the source of all these problems.

The fact was, he would never again dare to be impudent. Thinking to himself that he couldn’t afford to always treat

that guy as a bodhisattva. Therefore, even with the weather as it was outside, it was still vital that he found his brother.

No matter how chaotic the roads were, Xiao Sa drove the car in a rampage, one hand on the steering wheel while the other was continuously dialing the phone. He had never been so frantic. He suddenly hated himself as he questioned why he hadn’t stayed with his kitten.

Boom! A tall billboard was blown down by the wind onto the road, blocking the way forward. Xiao Yu slammed the steering wheel with his hands, his gaze barely concealing his anxiety. Then he fearlessly jumped out of the car and started running towards the hotel, his ears picking up the sounds of his subordinates calling out to him: “Brother, wait…”

After running for a while, the strong wind stopped, and the lightning seemed to be getting farther and farther away from N city. The only thing that could still be heard was a thunderous boom as the strange meteorites fell from the sky. Xiao Sa felt that even the ground seemed to shake from this.

Even in the face of this, his mind was still preoccupied by other things, and the anxiety in his heart only seemed to worsen. His kitten… Will his kitten be able to avoid getting hurt?

Only half an hour had pa.s.sed from the moment the lightning landed to when it left. But to Xiao Sa it had felt like a century had pa.s.sed. The hotel was not far from the main house, but because he had to run for part of that distance, by the time he arrived at the hotel, the sky had already quieted down. The tranquility was not disturbed by even one bit of chaos; it was the kind of ominous silence found at the gates of h.e.l.l as the devil, baring fangs and brandis.h.i.+ng claws, approached from the other end.

There was a power cut at the hotel so only a few security lights were on. Screams and cries for help could be heard. Some people were trying to call for help on their phones, but unfortunately none of the calls were going through.

Xiao Sa ignored all this and quickly ran up the building using the emergency stairs. As he observed the damage on the floors that he pa.s.sed through – sections of walls broken off – his heart kept sinking further and further. At that time he found that even his physical strength was not lacking, and seemed to have improved, since he even climbed a thirty-eight-story high-rise, without gasping for air once.

When he reached the top floor of the hotel, he saw shattered gla.s.s scattered everywhere, everything was in disarray and a huge fire had engulfed most of the floor. Even the doors were hanging off their hinges. Xiao Sa bust into Bai Jing’s room and caught sight of the blood stains on the ground. His eyes immediately began to sting

sting painfully…

“Bai Jing, Bai Jing.” Xiao Sa shouted loudly, frantically searching the room. However, except for the traces of blood, only a cell phone was left in the room. Xiao Sa, with trembling hands, picked the phone up from the ground. He could clearly see that Bai Jing had dialed his number 15 times consecutively, and could only imagine how scared his kitten must have been at that time.
