Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 404

As Howard uttered these words, he wanted to ask those around to catch me.

Steven looked at Howard with frigid eyes, his gaze filled with uncontrollable murderous intent. Slowly, he released my hand.

I fixed my gaze on Howard, pushing aside everyone who was in my way. I slowly approached him.

Howard was in a state of panic. His injured leg was still bleeding as he backed away in fear. "What do you want to do? Why are you just standing there in a daze? Quickly, catch her!"

I smiled and looked at those people, intending to give them a taste of their own medicine. "We're indeed the planners of the game. Your survival depends on your obedience. If you obey, I can ensure your escape. But if you continue to follow him, death will be inevitable for you."

The few of them exchanged glances and stepped away. They were all frightened.

Howard glared at me. "Stephany! Who do you think you're fooling? Don't listen to her. She's not going to rescue us. Each of us is the target of the lunatic. She said that on purpose."

I delivered a forceful blow to Howard's stomach, bringing him to the ground. Then, I stepped hard on his injured leg. "You're quite the talker. I could kill you right now, but where's the fun in that?"

With a click, the door swung open once more. Carol appeared to be unconscious as Joel carefully carried her outside. Zion also followed closely.

Quinn stepped forward and looked at Carol with concern. "How is she?"

Joel shook his head. "She's just suffering from an emotional shock. She's going to be okay."

Tears welled up in Quinn's eyes. "Thank you. Thank you so much!"

Joel remained silent, delivering Carol into Quinn's hands.

Rachel also glanced nervously at Zion. "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Zion was visibly surprised. "You got here before us? I was actually contemplating turning around and locating you."

Rachel pointed at me and Steven awkwardly. "We ran into Steven."

Zion replied, "That makes sense."

Just as the stone wall was about to close, I swiftly pulled Howard and forcefully kicked him inside.

"Stephany! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Everyone was astonished as they witnessed me kicking him in. They saw the door close tightly and heard Howard's desperate cry.

"Is this kind of person worthy of following us?" I asked with indifference.

Eason averted his gaze. "I missed that. What just happened..."

Zion scratched his head. "What?"

"Everything was killed inside. If he's truly intelligent, he should recall how we managed to escape just a moment ago, don't you think?" Eason whispered solemnly. Quinn was confused. "I... I don't remember at all."

I sneered. If he couldn't escape, then he deserved the outcome he faced.

"The stairs are moving! Hurry downstairs!" Suddenly, the exit started to shake. The staircase was collapsing.

"Quick!" In my panic, I grabbed Steven's wrist and hastily pulled him downstairs. As we arrived at the secure zone, relief washed over me.

"Is everyone here?" Zion inquired.

"Yasmin and Michael didn't come out!" At last, someone noticed that Yasmin and Michael were not present.

Frowning, I glanced upward toward the 17th floor. The stairs were on the verge of collapsing.

"I'm going to save them," Zion

declared. He was determined to rush upstairs and rescue the people in need. However, Rachel held him back, her eyes filled with emotion and her head shaking with

conviction.

Was his identity and duty as a police officer still crucial at this time?

Zion shook his head at Rachel. This was his duty. Hence, it was also the reason why he couldn't reciprocate Rachel's love or marry her.

He always appeared to be in danger. While everyone else could escape in the face of danger, he was not able to. The weight of responsibility and duty bore down on him, compelling him to go against the grain.

"Trash!" I angrily cursed at Michael before going upstairs with Zion.

Steven expressed his desire to accompany me, but I firmly rejected him. "It's now your turn to rest and recharge. Seek out the exit on the 15th floor and wait for me to come back."

Quinn suddenly remembered

something and looked at Zion and me in a panic. "There's definitely something amiss with Yasmin. We were all walking together earlier on. But Yasmin intentionally provoked Carol, causing her to run ina different direction.

"Don't go... Yasmin is luring you back on purpose!"
