A faint golden light was emanating from his body, and he had managed to suppress the explosion in a small area.
As the smoke and dust swirled around him, he muttered to himself, “My power is getting weak. Back then, I could contain the explosion within my palm.”
With a sigh, he made his way out of the place and headed toward Building No. 9.
Jennifer heard the sound of an explosion and saw the mushroom cloud in the sky. Her eyes instantly darkened as she rushed outside the building in panic. “Donald?”
She came to the ruins but found nothing within it.
“Ms. Wilson, for safety purposes, it's better that we go back.” Ryan ran toward her.
“Tell me the truth. Is the man behind the golden mask Donald?” Jennifer gazed at Ryan anxiously.
Ryan did not know how to respond to her question. He said, “I have no idea, but I guess not?”
“Lend me your phone!” Jennifer requested.
Ryan passed his phone to her, and Jennifer made a phone call to Donald. “Donald, I'm Jennifer. Where are you now?”
Donald picked up the phone as he made his way to Building No. 9. “I'm driving now and am on the way back to the office. What's the matter?”
“N-Nothing much.” Jennifer sighed and hung up the phone. She had indeed heard sounds coming from the other side of the phone, which seemed to be the sounds of a car's engine.
Besides, the man in the golden mask should be dead by now. A human being couldn't possibly stay alive after holding a bomb that exploded in his hands. But why would that man save me?
Jennifer pondered for a moment, but she still felt an uneasiness. With that, she requested, “Please send me to Rivebale Hotel, Lana's company.”
Ryan smiled wryly. Despite that, he still proceeded with the arrangement to send her there.
In Building No. 9, Python, Tyler, and the rest heard the explosion as well. “Ms. Rodriguez is dead, and Golden Lord should be dead too. I saw him holding the bomb in his hands with my own eyes,” Tyler stated.
Python's face turned pale. “No, that's impossible. He once blew up Mr. Rodriguez's armory in Golden Triangle but came out unharmed. He is not a human.”
