“These lunatics, they’re trying to trap Enrico inside so no one can rescue him.”
Beinice came over as well, looking at the neighborhood with fires everywhere, her brow furrowed, “And they chose the neighborhood and downtown, they don’t care about the civilians.”
The Folsom family had indeed done a lot of bad things over the years, but they hadn’t really taken direct action against civilians.
And this group of plutocrats were simply heartless, using populated areas as their umbrella.
“Grandpa, Aunt Beinice.”
Paige turned her head, looking towards Mitchell who was walking this way, and said, “All hands are now in the hands of the the Davis family and the Folsom family, slowly fight your way in from the periphery, I’ll just go in and look for Enrico, and when I find him I’ll signal and come to our rescue then. ”
“How are you going to get in there when it’s almost a sea of fire?” Blanca hurried over to her and looked at her worriedly, “It’s easy to fall into their path.”
“I don’t believe there are bombs all over this place, and with so many of their own people here, they’re not afraid of anything.”
For the sake of their own safety, they wouldn’t get bombs all over the place and bury too many hidden dangers for themselves.
“…”
Seeing that she was bent on doing this, Blanca didn’t persuade her any further and only said, “Then I’ll go in with you.”
“Hold your horses.”
Mitchell stood in place, looking at Paige’s bloodstained face that he couldn’t even wipe, “You said that you would signal when you find someone, my grandson knows that there are many weapons here, he will naturally be on guard, and will likewise signal, why don’t we find that Jaden and ask him to see if my grandson has left any words, how to read his signal, how to check his location, he is now just trapped, not yet in the hands of the gang, or to save.”
The aged old man was calm and sensible, not at all upset.
A mouthful of a grandson, sounds very intimate.
Just …
“He won’t signal.” Paige was clear on that.
“Why?” Mitchell queried.
“He’s angry with me, so he won’t even signal for help until his life is actually in danger.”
Paige knew this all too well; Enrico was trying to teach her a lesson with himself.
All he wanted was for her to be in a hurry.
“…”
A look of confusion grew on Mitchell’s face, which had been calm all day.
What is it with young people … these days?
“None of you need to go in with me, they must be inside looking for Enrico right now as well, very anxious, I’ll sneak in alone, instead of attracting attention.” Paige said.
“Then according to what you said, this grandson of mine has his own measure and his life is not in danger for the time being, then you don’t have to go in and take the risk, join us and surround them before they find anyone, won’t it be solved?”
Mitchell looked at Paige’s slender figure, her body was splattered with blood, it was inevitable that he felt intolerant, and was unwilling to let her go in alone, “Or is it that he just wants you to go to him alone to be able to do it?”
Then this grandson … of his is a bit unorthodox.
“…”
Paige was stunned, suddenly reacting to the fact that she seemed to have almost broken another taboo.
Enrico was just pissed off that she went wading in alone every time, and if she went in deep to look for him alone again, and really found him, the man would probably blow up in place and be even harder to coax.
Almost.
Almost.
She regained her senses and nodded respectfully at Mitchell, “I was too hasty, I’ll join the group.”
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief at that.
Paige hadn’t gone in alone to search for people, but had rushed most desperately with her people as well, grabbing people all over the place, not even waiting for the advance team to check for the presence of bombs before rushing to the forefront.
Although she was also after judgment, but still look at the two families heart trembling.
Mitchell vaguely understood what this grandson of his was getting upset about, and what man would not raise his heart every day when he ran into such a woman who did not want to die.
“Bang–”
The bomb exploded in the hallway, and Paige pounced on Blanca, the two rolling on the ground twice to avoid it.
“How are you guys doing?”
Alonso practically jumped out of the fire and ran to them, his pupils constricted and tense.
Paige glanced at Blanca and saw that she was fine, so she immediately got up and continued to rush inside, and sure enough, she caught another family member of a plutocrat, with a bomb strapped to the other side, threatening them to stay away.
Paige approached decisively, and the other side weakened at once.
They are used to enjoying the good life, they are more afraid of death than anyone else, they don’t dare to fight with Paige.
“How are all the people captured?” Paige took out her cell phone and called to ask.
The answer he got was that they had pretty much captured them, and they had injured quite a few people on their side, but throughout the entire process, there was no sign of Enrico.
Paige glanced at the family crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands and grabbed one of the more vocal people from the inside, “What places have you searched for Enrico?”
“Just, just one more building that wasn’t searched.”
The man held his head back, his eyes not only terrified but also depressed, just one more building, just one more building left to search.
If they had arrested Enrico, the situation would not be so passive now.
“Which building?” Paige asked immediately.
“The one with the biggest fire on the east side.” The man answered weakly.
They put that building at the end of the check because that building was burning to death, if Enrico was inside with his men, he was definitely going to show up, there was no need to even look for it.
At that, Paige turned and left, Alonso and Blanca hurried to follow.
The fire on the east side of the building was getting bigger and bigger, burning up from the bottom, with smoke going straight up.
The whole building looked like a giant tombstone in flames.
The fire was so fierce that there were clothes, flower pots, and windows falling from above, and many bodyguards were helping to move the innocent occupants.
The fire reflected off Paige’s eyes.
She looked at it for a moment, asked for a drawing of the building, took a look at the layout, and then turned around and got in the helicopter, so she had herself dropped off on the rooftop.
Going down from the rooftop, Paige didn’t bother looking for it, walking straight through the penthouse alone, connecting the map in her head in with the corridors in front of her.
On the top floor, there was a video room.
She walked forward and pushed the two gilded doors open with force, the inside was very dimly lit, with only the light from a large screen flickering and dancing.
An old western movie was playing on the screen, with a well-dressed man and woman standing in the firelight flirting and kissing.
Her sudden appearance caused the light from outside to rush in.
A group of men who were watching the movie turned their heads in shock and stood up in a panic when they saw Paige.
Paige raised her eyes and looked straight into the last row of couch seats, the entire row was empty, with only one person sitting in the center.
It was a place where no sunlight could fall.
He sat in the gloom, blurring his features and lines, only barely visible as he leaned back casually, still crossing his legs, with a bit of fishy red light skimming through the darkness.
He bit into his cigarette and slowly turned his head.
