Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 767 - 763: Seeing Him, Even Breathing Stops (Part 1)
Suddenly, a slender figure wearing a loose denim jacket, black jeans, flat shoes, a baseball cap, and sunglasses broke into his view, causing his heart to tighten inexplicably.
No matter how ordinary she dressed, even amidst the crowded people like ants, he still recognized her at a glance.
With a swift turn, he rushed out of the lounge.
"Hey, where are you going? It’s chaotic outside!" Luke Land shouted behind him, but he was already far gone.
"Quick, send more security teams to maintain order in the exhibition hall!" Luke Land yelled at the head of security.
...
Sophie Smith, caught in the crowded masses, felt she was about to suffocate and found it difficult to breathe.
The crowd wouldn’t disperse quickly, and the exit of the exhibition hall was blocked; many couldn’t get out, yet the pressure from behind kept increasing.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
Screams erupted in the crowd, many covered their heads, fleeing in panic towards the exit.
Sophie Smith was stunned. A gun?
How could there be gunfire?
Before she could gather her thoughts, another gunshot sounded.
The tumult in the crowd intensified, with screams and cries echoing incessantly...
This was definitely a deliberate act intended to incite a riot!
Sophie Smith struggled to maintain her composure, unable to fathom who would want to damage Golden Era’s reputation as it was preparing to reestablish itself?
If a few lives end up lost in this incident...
Sophie Smith was pushed hard, her petite frame easily knocked to the ground.
She desperately wanted to get back on her feet, but the chaos around offered her no chance as she was stepped on her back, feeling as if her internal organs were being shattered.
Pain, intense pain...
She couldn’t help but wonder if she might perish in this disaster.
Suddenly, a strong force lifted her from the ground.
Sophie Smith looked at the face that appeared before her...
She felt as though she had lost all ability to think, the world seemed to halt at this very second.
Her shock, her bewilderment, he saw it all, looking at her pale cheeks. Damn it, he hoped she wouldn’t forget how to breathe upon seeing him.
"Sophie Smith, breathe." He shook his head.
Only then did Sophie Smith react, taking a deep breath and then exhaling.
Hearing him call her name suddenly made her feel an urge to cry, which she indeed did.
Gunshots continued to sound; as he saw it, the shooter wasn’t necessarily aiming to kill, perhaps they just intended to create chaos.
Wearing a Bluetooth headset, he moved towards the exit with Sophie Smith in his arms, while giving orders to Luke Land.
"Soothing the crowd through broadcast, send security to search the stairway on the third floor. I just spotted a suspicious figure wearing a black hoodie and jeans."
Sophie Smith, amidst the chaos and fear, felt none of it, quietly staying in his arms, feeling the security he brought to her. She slightly raised her head, gazing at the man she longed for day and night, suddenly smiling softly.
She nestled further into his embrace, leaning against his solid chest.
Asher Land quickly navigated through the crowd to the exit, successfully bringing her out of the chaos.
