Life at the Top

The shout had caused the entire site to go into an uproar.

Countless workers rushed toward the location and the orderly construction site immediately erupted into chaos.

Jasper and Julian rushed toward the scene the moment it happened, such that the worker from earlier could not even stop them in time. Not that he had the time to, for he immediately rushed to the office to search for the person in charge.

Julian was still a trained man, so he ran the quickest and arrived at the scene first.

He took a glance and immediately turned around to hold Jasper back.

“Don’t look, Jasper. It’s a bit unsettling.”

Jasper pushed Julian away and walked forward.

What he saw next was more terrifying than a scene from a horror movie.

Falling from a great height, the man would certainly have died if not for the guard rail and safety net around the construction.

Jasper saw a young man lying on the floor, his body contorted into a weird angle as weak whimpers escaped his mouth while he shivered in place.

The sight stunned many of the workers that rushed over. While it was not uncommon for accidents to happen in construction sites, it was a completely different feeling to see it with one’s own eyes.

Jasper’s complexion paled as well.

He did not expect something like this to happen at his own mega skyscraper. His expression immediately darkened.

It explained why Julian did not want him to see it.

Just then, the security officer and project manager in charge of the site rushed over as well.

Their expressions changed instantly at the tragic sight.
