Chapter 625: Not safe
[Emergency Staircase]
Ivy panted for air, holding on to the railing as she looked over it to check if someone was following her. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw no one was coming up the stairs.
’Goodness.’ She patted her chest in relief, hunching in a little as she felt her entire body shaking. "Oh, god."
Her relief didn’t last long as she looked around, biting her bottom lips in distress. No one came after her, but she was now a few levels above the exit she planned to take. Ivy pinched the bridge of her nose, a little stressed about her own situation.
Now, it was clearer to her that this place was surrounded. One wrong move and she might end up being a hostage. Worse, dead.
’What am I going to do now?’ she wondered, squashing down the feeling of blaming Joker for her situation. She helped that man gain access to this place. How? She didn’t know. She just followed Joker’s instructions. Even so, the point was, if she had helped him, he could’ve at least made sure she could get out of this place safely instead of hanging up on her.
"Well," she whispered, snapping her eyes up at the stairs. "Should I go up or stay here?"
Ivy pressed her lips into a thin line, turning her head to the door near her vantage point. "There’s also that option," she whispered, pondering which of the three was the safest route.
’To be fair, this place seems a little safe,’she thought, but then again, if someone came in here, she would be in big trouble. If she goes down, there might be people over there. Moreover, the event hall was on the ground floor. Therefore, it was to be expected that the amount of enemies there was unimaginable. The ground floor would be a bad call. The door, on the other hand, was an unexplored place for her. Therefore, there was no guarantee there were no enemies inside the floor.
