Chapter 626: Unlucky hostage
Ivy held her breath as her pupils slowly dilated. Silas, who turned up at the door heading to the emergency stairs she was in, also stared back at her. All they could do for a moment was stare at each other for a second, surprised at each other’s presence.
"No," Ivy breathed out as shook her head mildly. Of all the people she could meet right now, this man appeared out of nowhere. What was he even doing here in the first place? She wondered.
Or...
"Are you also trying to hide?" Her voice was barely above a whisper, assuming Silas probably was in the same situation as her. Ivy didn’t exactly know who the people were that had taken Dominic as hostage. Meaning, she had zero idea that Silas was the culprit of tonight’s massacre.
Silas’s lips parted to give her the most obvious lie. However, before his answer could get out of his throat, Dominic’s thunderous roar reached their ears.
"SILAS!"
"Dom?" Ivy furrowed her brows. She never heard Dominic yell all her life, but she could recognize his voice just by the sound of it. They were childhood friends, after all. "What is he..."
Ivy suddenly froze as the rest of her sentence rolled back to her throat. Her eyes shook a little, shifting them to Silas. Her gaze went up and down a little, only to notice the rifle in his hand. One would think he was in the same situation as her, but now that she thought about it, Silas shouldn’t be in this place.
They chased everyone out here except those on the list. Ivy was lucky to not be on the list, just like Silas. But she had the reason she was in this place despite not being named by the voice earlier. She wanted to think Joker also contacted this man, but she doubted it.
