Just as he threw the remote, he viciously tightened his grip around my neck, causing me to tilt backward.Before I could comprehend what was happening, I was dragged over the platform's railing, plummeting downward. I instinctively let out a scream. This feeling was terrifying, something I had experienced many times in my dreams.The man's arm, tightly clung to my neck, refusing to let go.Just as I realized I was falling, suspended mid-air, I felt my ankle suddenly being clamped. My body abruptly halted, but the grip around my neck intensified, making breathing difficult.In the next moment, another gunshot echoed, and I heard a muffled sound as something pierced into the flesh. I felt my neck tighten even more, and my vision started to blur. However, fortunately, my neck suddenly felt relieved.A rush of fresh air filled my lungs, and I instinctively covered my neck, gasping for breath.In fear, I widened my eyes and looked up. I found

I could even feel my teeth incessantly chattering.After a while, Atlas gently released me, scrutinizing my face and checking if I was injured. Then, he embraced me tightly again, as if afraid of losing me once more, and kissed my forehead passionately.Later, he bent down, lifting me in his arms. With the protection of the group, we left the rooftop and exited the Bourdamun Hotel.Only at that moment did I realize that the people in the banquet hall on the second floor had already been urgently evacuated, and the entire building had been swiftly cleared out.As we left the Bourdamun Hotel, I noticed a crowd of cops surrounding the area.

I trembled, leaning weakly against his chest. At that moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of safety and happiness.It was good to be alive. He continued to comfort me, holding me close.Gradually, I regained my composure."Are the people inside the building safe? You said they've been evacuated, right?" I asked urgently, sharing with Atlas what the man on the rooftop had told me and what I had thought.Then I added, "We can't stay at the Bourdamun Hotel anymore. Someone’s pulling the strings behind this, and when he controlled me, he was in constant communication with that person. The mastermind behind this has been monitoring the situation. He told me there's a bomb in the banquet hall.”I looked at him anxiously, afraid of missing any clues.Atlas reassured me, "Don't worry. Right after we left, bomb disposal experts went in to check the building thoroughly. Everyone inside has already been evacuated.""When did they evacuate?" I asked in disbelief."After you discovered
Chapter 797 The Bombs Are Real
Atlas's enchanting smile could captivate anyone. He pinched my nose playfully and said, "Do you know why that guy's earpiece suddenly beeped in his ear?"Of course I knew. Without that sound, he wouldn't have withdrawn his hand abruptly to touch his ear, and his wrist wouldn't have taken a bullet.The situation demanded that we make him release the remote control. If he retained control, the consequences would be unimaginable."That was our professionals deliberately creating noise to divert his attention. Our sniper only hit his hand when he was distracted." Atlas's explanation didn't match my speculation."But we didn’t expect him to take you down with him," he said, hastily holding me close. I knew how terrified he must have been."I didn’t think he would make me fall with him. If that shot hadn't hit him, we would've..."

"It's still under investigation, but we found out that the intercepted IP address is from overseas," Dylan said helplessly."Overseas?"I couldn't help but feel disheartened. I thought that those who were capable of committing such a terrible thing would likely be from abroad. It might be the organization from Jitador or Denton, but they were all foreign forces.Based on my conversation with the man, I couldn't determine which group they belonged to because we suspected both parties.Suddenly, I remembered something. I quickly asked Dylan, "Did the man have a tattoo on his arm?"Dylan gave me a confident and accurate response, "No."When I heard that, I fell into thought. Then it hit me, "That's not right. I saw it clearly. The man who exited the elevator on the fifteenth floor had a serpent tattoo on his wrist."At that moment, Atlas's phone rang.He quickly answered the call, and based on his conversation, I could tell it was Noah, asking where we wereAtlas brought him

I was born to endure hardship. Recently, everything became a mess. I’m always dealing with people, it's truly exhausting. I've had enough."She looked at me with a pitiful expression."This time, I finally had a chance to do a program properly. I’m thinking of making a notable achievement and laying the foundation for a promotion. Unexpectedly, troubles kept arising from the moment I took charge. It's not just tiring, it's downright scary. Can you believe it?"I chuckled and teased her, "Why are you scared? Let's switch places, and you can dangle from the rooftop for an interview. How about that?"
