Chapter 201: Chapter 111: Escape Chapter 201: Chapter 111: Escape The pleasing voice made Mu Fan and the chubby man turn back in astonishment.
It was Mr.
Wang Ji’s granddaughter!
But why did even Wang Ji look at his own granddaughter with a puzzled face?
He could be certain that his own granddaughter had definitely never met these few people before, let alone the three who were just about to be expelled from the venue.
But why did the granddaughter suddenly speak up now?
Wang Nuonuo gently tugged at her grandfather’s sleeve, indicating that she had made a decision.
Her clear, piercing eyes stared at Mu Fan and his companion, and the chubby man’s face turned red from embarrassment as his hand unconsciously landed on Mu Fan’s arm and pinched hard.
Now, Wang Nuonuo stood just three meters away from Mu Fan.
Mu Fan looked at the young Miss Wang without speaking, but the questioning look in his eyes was very clear.
Why should we go with you?
Mu Fan remained indifferent, while the chubby man beside him was anxious but helpless.
Now, through the windows, they could see numerous flying vehicles taking off.
This was the privilege of the nobility!
While ordinary citizens could only run desperately on the ground, they could ascend to the sky in flying vehicles.
Seeing this situation, Wang Ji couldn’t help but remind his granddaughter, “Nuonuo, it’s time to go.”
Nuonuo?!
When he heard these two words, Mu Fan finally sensed that something was off in his mind.
That crisp and pleasant voice, those beautiful and clear large eyes, wasn’t this the chubby little girl he had encountered on Battle Net?
Finally, Mu Fan saw the surprise in his eyes increase.
Wang Nuonuo’s eyes curved into crescents and then she quickly blinked at Mu Fan.
It’s you, the little chubby girl!
This time, Mu Fan could be one hundred percent sure, he really hadn’t expected the real person to be so different from her online persona.
The world really is too small.
Mu Fan now had this thought in his heart, unaware that Miss Nuonuo had already thought this once before.
“Okay, where to?” Mu Fan nodded without hesitation this time.
Just like when the two of them fought side by side on Battle Net, the tacit understanding naturally emerged.
The chubby man beside him, previously so anxious, now had his mouth wide open.
What was going on?
Hadn’t Mu Fan just been showing an indifferent and cool demeanor?
How come in the next second, he nodded so affirmatively?
It didn’t make sense; was there some unknown insider story?
Impossible, if it hadn’t been for him suddenly contacting Mu Fan, how could he possibly have come here?
Now the chubby man wore a bewildered expression, while Wayne beside him also looked at Mu Fan with some surprise, the mystery surrounding this youth in his eyes growing thicker.
“Follow me, to the rooftop!”
Wang Nuonuo casually tied her hair into a ponytail because the rooftop had a flying ship belonging to Loki Heavy Industry.
She had just called it from headquarters, and it was about to arrive in one minute.
“Nuonuo, do you know each other?” Wang Ji looked at Mu Fan and then at his granddaughter with puzzled eyes.
“Please don’t speak now, Grandpa, we need to hurry.”
Through the glass curtain wall, they could see the Beast Tide rapidly surging toward the building below.
Wang Ji tapped his earpiece and suddenly picked up the microphone to shout to everyone inside: “I am Wang Ji, of Loki Heavy Industry.
A low-altitude Transport Ship is prepared on the rooftop, please evacuate quickly!”
The crowd, previously in a frantic escape, suddenly paused, and then the joy of escaping from desperation instantly surged through them.
“Thanks to Loki Heavy Industry!”
“Chairman Wang, if I, Luther, am fortunate enough to escape, I’ll follow your orders without hesitation in the future!”
Cheers erupted inside the hall, and various words of gratitude echoed from all directions.
“Everyone may use the safe passage from the entrance of the reception hall to ascend.”
When Wang Ji put down the microphone, people were already pouring out.
Old Mr.
Wang then turned around and addressed Mu Fan and the others, saying,
“Let’s go, First Guard, evacuate with haste!”
Four bodyguards were protecting an old man and a young girl, making up a party of nine with Mu Fan and his group.
They took advantage of the chaos and slipped behind the podium.
There, startlingly, was a direct passage leading upward.
Wang Nuonuo, holding the sides of her long dress, explained to Mu Fan, “This is the special passage to the top floor of the Maple Leaf Hotel, exclusively for the use of VIPs on floors 28-31.”
The chubby guy next to her, feeling grateful, attempted to interject, “Th-thank you, Wang…
uh, I still don’t know how to address the young miss.”
“Wang Nuonuo.” The chubby guy’s goddess had actually responded to him.
His face turned even redder.
Man, this was the first time he was actually speaking with a real goddess!
But sadly for the chubby guy, he soon realized that Wang Nuonuo’s face hadn’t even turned a little bit in his direction since she replied.
She was looking at Mu Fan!
Now, the two of them were on the right side of this small squad while Wang Ji was securely guarded by four bodyguards at the center.
Seeing his granddaughter being so proactive in explaining to Mu Fan, Wang Ji simply couldn’t understand the youth of today.
Had his granddaughter taken a liking to this brat just after meeting him?
He knew his granddaughter’s taste well; even Zhang Yuanren, the heir to the Birch Group and Arabella Weapons Company, despite his clear intentions, had failed to win her over.
But the scene unfolding before him now seemed utterly unbelievable.
The world of young people was too hard to understand!
Mu Fan frowned as he looked at Wang Nuonuo, realizing how different she was in person compared to her Battle Net profile.
Noticing Mu Fan’s expression, Wang Nuonuo couldn’t help but ask softly, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s hard…
to believe it’s you,” Mu Fan hesitated but still voiced his thoughts.
They had now reached the 30th floor, and one more floor would take them to the rooftop.
The decision made back in the hall had left only two options, to go down or to go up.
Once one was chosen, there was no time for regrets, because…
In places they couldn’t see, countless dark shadows were rapidly climbing up the building.
These were creatures resembling lizards, but their limbs were clearly twice as long as those of lizards, their reduced stature notwithstanding.
Their large jaws and exposed sharp, protruding fangs suddenly made these creatures look ferociously terrifying.
Had any experienced interstellar biologists seen these creatures, they would have instantly shouted only two words:
Run!
Because these were highly aggressive carnivorous Outer Domain crocodile lizards!
As individuals, they were rated with an A-level danger rating, but when they converged in groups of a hundred or more, their danger rating soared to S-level, making them Outer Domain Fierce Beasts!
They lived on planets so harsh and inhospitable that humans found them unbearable.
Under the brutal rule of survival of the fittest, these monsters evolved into having an unimaginable predatory capacity that humans could hardly conceive of.
These creatures occasionally appeared in sporadic numbers at the frontier between the Federation and the Outer Domain Galaxy.
Wang Nuonuo nodded vigorously.
They had arrived at the rooftop!
Upon arriving at the rooftop helipad, they encountered seven mid-sized transport ships.
Now, the refined aristocratic entrepreneurs were desperately crowding forward, afraid of being even one step behind.
Wang Nuonuo pointed at the private helipad that was cordoned off by an alloy net.
“There!”
A small, streamlined spaceship was already hovering in mid-air, its orange exhaust nozzles continuously surging with energy.
A row of single-person transport discs was ready, waiting for them to step on and be taken aboard.
Two bodyguards supported Wang Ji as they stepped onto the discs first.
Three discs rose instantly and were taken into the ship.
Then, the two bodyguards went—one after the other.
When the last bodyguard turned around to signal for Wang Nuonuo to come,
a creature with its double jaws opened and full of sharp fangs suddenly appeared on the alloy railing outside the building and leaped violently!
