Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 406

It was surprising how quickly Yasmin found a way out.

"Follow us." Yasmin cast a warning glance toward Zion and me.

I followed Yasmin closely and observed her every move. How did she manage to pull it off? Did she raise her IQ to convincingly impersonate Stephanie?

"This way." Yasmin could always replace the mechanism quickly and lead us through each room with ease.

"Why did you get separated?" Zion asked Michael tentatively.

Michael glanced at me. "I was concerned that they might struggle to replace their way out."

Yasmin snorted coldly and remained silent. Eventually, she led us to the vent in a short time.

"The wooden floor isn't strong enough. If we destroy it, we might be able to reach the 15th floor," Yasmin said as she stamped on the floor. It was clearly a later addition, not a solid floor slab. Michael and Zion dug a hole in the ground that was just big enough for one person. It was completely dark down there, and they were unsure what was inside.

"This is the elevator shaft. Let's tie our clothes together and use them to descend to the 15th floor." Michael threw a lightning rod down. It seemed like they found new equipment on this floor. It took quite a while for the lightning rod to finally touch the ground. However, it became clear that there was an exit on the 15th floor, which could be reached by jumping.

"Who will go down first?" Michael inquired.

Then, he looked at me nervously. "Do you dare to go down?"

"Trash!" Yasmin cursed sarcastically. She defiantly removed her shirt and boldly stood before everyone in just her undergarments. She handed her shirt to Michael.

Michael also removed his shirt and tied it securely. Zion understood his intention and also removed his shirt. Meanwhile, Howard looked at me slyly. He refused to remove his clothes.

I moved forward and pressed the dagger against his neck. "Take it off. It'll be long enough with yours."

"How pretentious." Howard reluctantly took off his shirt.

Michael tied the clothes securely and gazed at Zion. "I'll hold on here. You all go first."

Yasmin glanced at me with a hint of expectation for me to be the first one to go down.

Coupled with Quinn's comments, I certainly did not trust Yasmin. "You should go down first and provide a demonstration."

Yasmin noticed my lack of trust in her. With a determined sneer, she grabbed hold of the makeshift rope's end and braced herself to go down. Lacking agility and too fearful to attempt a leap to the 15th floor, she clung to the rope with an intense

desire to survive.

I was on the verge of laughter. One could conceal one's personality, but courage could not be concealed. Yasmin was not a courageous individual, and it seemed her legs had weakened.

But she didn't dare to cry, so she had

no choice but to jump. With one foot in the air, she almost lost her balance. She breathed heavily and stood on the 15th floor for a long time before regaining her composure and saying, "You all can come down now."

Michael said quietly behind me, "Stephie, trust me. Don't be afraid."

He wanted to assure me that he could hold on to me. He urged me to not be scared.

I gazed at Howard with indifference. "You, get down."

Trembling in fear, Howard declared, "I won't go down... Even if you kill me, I won't go down."

"Okay, then you stay on this floor and wait for your own death. When the time is up, the entire floor will be destroyed, including you," I warned in a commanding voice. Feeling a surge of fear, Howard turned pale and stammered, "I... I'll try."

After all, Howard was a strong man. He forcefully pulled the rope down, yelling and screaming. The clothes were ripped by him, creating a loud snapping sound. "Hurry, jump!" Yasmin urged Howard, pulling his leg and urging him to jump boldly.

With a scream, he ended up lying on the 15th floor in shock. He was in a daze, breathing rapidly.

"These clothes are no longer strong enough to withstand the weight of both of us," Zion exclaimed, frowning as he noted that the rope had significantly weakened. With a sneer, I confidently gripped the floor with one hand and jumped down.

"Stephany!"

"Stephie!" Both Michael and Zion were frightened.

I confidently landed on the 15th floor and addressed Yasmin with a touch of provocation, "You know, the floor is only ten inches thick, so there's really no need for any ropes." Yasmin's expression darkened, and she instinctively raised her hands to cover her exposed upper body.

"No need to cover up. There's nothing attractive about your figure." I looked at her mockingly.

Filled with anger, she was determined to attack me. However, I swiftly outmaneuvered her, positioning the dagger firmly against her neck. "I could kill you easily."

Suddenly, at the lights on the 15th floor came on with a click, flooding our location with an extremely bright light. The sound of a carousel filled the air. The entire floor was @giant amusement park.
