Hearing Jacob's statement, the officer fumed as his pupils dilated all of a sudden. He lifted his arm and was about to attack Jacob, but Jacob swiftly pressed Heidi down with his right hand and struck the officer's chest with his left elbow.

As blood oozed out of the officer's chest, Jacob bolted out of the meeting room and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my god! He's dead!" Someone in the meeting room shrieked.

A special troop officer with a pair of piercing eyes commanded, "Stay calm, everyone. That guy must be an accomplice of the terrorist group. We'll make sure to catch him!"

An accomplice of the terrorist group? Looking flustered, the guests gradually calmed down.

Krish and Ludwig exchanged glances coincidentally.

After remaining silent for a moment, Krish mumbled, "Master Ludwig, I feel like..."

Ludwig's eyes darkened as he shook his head and said, "Keep calm and observe the situation."

On the other hand, Jacob carried Heidi to the stairway after leaving the meeting room.

"Are those men bad guys?" Heidi's crisp voice echoed in the empty stairway.

Jacob lowered his head to stare at Heidi with a bright smile. "You're such a smart girl. They are bad guys. But don't be afraid, daddy will protect you."

"But those bad guys have guns with them." The little girl shrunk her body in fear.

"Don't be afraid. Daddy has support." Jacob patted Heidi's back gently and said, "Close your eyes. Daddy will bring you to find our support now."

"Okay." Heidi hummed and obediently closed her eyes after burying her head in Jacob's shoulder.

"What a good girl."

Jacob wore a grateful smile. Then, he moved swiftly up the staircase as if he was as light as a feather.

Jasmine was fiddling with her dagger in the security room. However, her expression turned solemn all of a sudden when she observed one of the screens.

Just then, the stairway door on one of the floors was flung open abruptly. With their eyes filled with ruthlessness, a group of armed officers swarmed out of the stairwell and spread out into a formation. In no time, a gust of wind gushed up from the floor below.

The next second, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
