The elevator went up quickly to the top floor.
As the archives building had been sealed off and no one was allowed to enter that night, the elevator didn't make any stops the whole way and it went up extremely quickly. No matter how fast Barbarian was, he wasn't going to be faster than the elevator.
Therefore, when Nora came out of the elevator, Barbarian had only just reached the halfway mark at best.
She looked down.
At Staav University, the building with the archives was the tallest and it had as many as fifty floors. It stood out among all the buildings in the schools and was the hallmark of Staav University.
This particular high-rise building had brought Staav University its success, so all the important things were kept here.
At the top of the building, the wind whistled loudly. It was as if one would be blown away the moment they looked away.
Nora's gaze swept across the ground floor. Nearly all the police forces in the entire school had congregated downstairs and surrounded the building. With this, unless Barbarian could fly, there was no way he could escape.
And obviously, flying was impossible.
No matter how much human genes were improved, they would never be able to reach that point.
Therefore, it was inevitable that Barbarian would be arrested today.
Nora withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and walked to the stairs at the side. She opened the door and headed down the stairs to wait for Barbarian.
She stopped after only going down two to three floors. She stood there and listened to the sounds gradually traveling up from below.
Barbarian was physically very fit, so it was good to have him climb the stairs for a few more floors and burn some of his stamina.
Nora stood where she was with her cat-like eyes lowered and held her breath.
About two minutes later, she finally heard heavy footsteps.
She leaned against the wall and looked down quietly.
The lights in the stairwell were all motion-sensitive, so the lights on each floor came on one by one as Barbarian rushed to the top.
Nora lurked in the dark quietly and watched as the lights below slowly came further and further up. At last, Barbarian reached the floor right below her!
After such a hike, even though the SWAT officers led by Brenda were all physically very fit, they ultimately couldn't catch up with Barbarian, whose genes had been improved. They were about five floors away from him.
The sound of gunfire downstairs traveled upwards constantly. Bullets hit the walls, causing dust to fall.
When she heard Barbarian's footsteps coming from below, Nora pressed her back even closer to the wall.
The instant Barbarian finally turned around and was about to rush up...!
Nora got up abruptly, propped her hand against the handrail of the stairs, and propelled herself forward. She shot forward like a leopard, her leg kicking towards Barbarian!
The whole way up, Barbarian had only been on guard against the gunfire from below. He never expected someone to attack from above, so he was stunned.
However, his genetically-improved body had long since reached the limits of the human body.
His brain might not have reacted yet, but his body, with its keen senses, responded instinctively. He suddenly balled up his fists, held his arms up in front of him in self-defense, and received the kick that Nora had delivered with all her strength!
Thud!
The sound of bodies making contact resounded. Nora's full-powered kick ultimately still forced Barbarian to take a couple of steps backward and he came to a stop at once.
The lights came on.
When Barbarian got a good look at Nora, his red eyes immediately revealed bloodthirsty murderous intent. He sneered and said, "After Justin Hunt played those tricks on me in America, you also came here to ambush me. The two of you husband and wife are really two of a kind and incredibly insidious!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Nora steadily stood where she was with a calm expression on her face. She saw that Brenda and her men were about to rush upstairs toward them, so she immediately said, "Hand it over, and I'll let you through to the top."
Barbarian sneered at her mockingly. "Your husband may have a chance of stopping me for a moment, but you? You actually dare to threaten me?"
His gaze fell on Nora's leg. "If I'm not wrong, your leg must be numb by now."
