Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 431

Since Michael was gone, nobody was around to protect Yasmin.

Yasmin was very selfish, but she had actual feelings for Michael. She was dependent on Michael and was afraid of losing him.

That was why she became jealous and fearful of Stephanie. She tried everything she could to ruin Stephanie.

But she had just lost Michael.

At the moment, it was like she lost her meaning in life.

"You killed him!" Rachel shouted. "He deserved to die, but you deserved it more!"

Zion's expression was grim too. He looked down, then said, "We should go downstairs soon."

The entirety of the seventh floor was unfurnished. It was pitch-black, and there was no electricity. There were no windows, so it was unclear if it was day or night.

The air was humid. I looked at Steven and said, "There are no manual controls on this floor, which means we can go downstairs if we locate the emergency exit. There shouldn't be any traps." Without electricity and light, it was difficult to replace the emergency exit.

"Keep your hands on the wall. I'll lead. You guys can follow me," Steven whispered.

Steven left a mark on the wall and then began to move forward.

It must've been an abandoned office building development. In case they were discovered, the mastermind left the lower floors untouched and built the killing ground on the upper floors. The floor was very bare. It smelled like concrete, and there was nothing special about it.

After walking around the floor, we ended up at the same starting place without replaceing the exit.

"Where's the emergency exit?" Rachel asked.

I tugged on Steven to stop him.

"Steven..."

Steven held my hand to calm me down.

"Don't be scared. You can all stay here, and I'll look for it. If I replace it, I'll knock on the floor to alert you. You can follow the sound."

I grabbed the corner of his shirt, my breath quickening.

I had to admit that I was worried about him.

What if... there was someone else with us on the same floor? The mastermind wouldn't let us leave easily.

If anything went wrong...

"Don't be scared," Steven whispered.

I clung to him.

"Why... must it always be you to take the risks? This time, I'll do it."

Steven hugged me and said softly, "I told you... your life matters more than mine."

Steven let me go and disappeared into the darkness.

The rest of us leaned against the wall and waited patiently.

In the empty room, the sound of

"Officer Landon, will we make it out alive..." Quinn sobbed.

Zion consoled, "Yes, we can make it out alive."

Eason was afraid of the dark, so he hugged Joel tightly.

"Hey man, let me hug you. I'm scared..."

"Get lost." Joel sneered.

"No way... It's so dark. What if somebody stabs me?" Eason said, shuddering as he clung to Joel.

"Wait, I'm scared. Let's do a head count. It feels like there's somebody behind me..."

Eason was the last person, and Joel

was standing in front of him. In front of Joel was the makeshift stretcher,

which Taylor had been lying on.

Ahead of him were Zion, Quinn,

Rachel, and me.

"Stephie... Are you scared?" Rachel asked softly.

"No."

I was calm as darkness was not scary to me. My senses toward the environment seemed to be numb.

"Stephany, you start the counting," Eason shouted from a distance.

I turned around to tap on Rachel's shoulder and then said, "One."

Since everyone was afraid and bored, I decided to play along. "Two," Rachel shouted.

"Three..." Quinn said with a shaky voice.

floor.

"Four," Zion shouted.

"Hello?" Eason said to Joel, trying to tell him to stop messing around.

Joel paused before saying, "There's also Yasmin....."

Just then, Yasmin's voice came near Joel's feet and called out, "Five..."

Ever since she lost Michael, Yasmin had lost her direction, but she still had a strong will to live.

She had no choice but to hold on to whatever she had right now to escape.

"Six," Joel said calmly.

"Seven..." Eason stuttered, hugging Joel.
