Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the villa, Clarence was planning to take a cab back, only to realize he was in the suburbs.
He was in the middle of nowhere, where there were no taxis.
He had to walk along the road and head back to the city.
Honk honk… A car honked, and a red Ferrari pulled up by Clarence’s feet. The window rolled down, revealing a beautiful woman inside.
“She left you behind, didn’t she?
“And now you have to walk home alone? You poor thing.
“Get in the car!” Cecilia did not beat around the bush.
Clarence was surprised. He pulled the door open and got in the passenger seat. “Cecilia, what are you doing here?”
Cecilia rolled her eyes. “Of course you didn’t know I was here. I saw you going out with your ex-wife when I reached Thirteen Hall.
“I was concerned about your safety, so I followed you.
“Now it turns out I was right. If I hadn’t followed you, you would have walked all the way back downtown.”
Clarence smiled wryly. “Well, the deal fell apart.”
Cecilia looked curious. “What happened?
“I heard from Master Williams that you were going to treat your ex-wife’s client. How did the deal fall apart?”
Clarence shook his head. “The client is Selina.”
Cecilia swore, “Selina? F*ck! Her again? Is your ex-wife out of her mind?
“Selina humiliated you by writing a check for two hundred million dollars and throwing it onto the floor. She humiliated you by treating you like a dog, yet you’re treating her father?”
Clarence leaned back in his seat. “I rejected her.”
“That’s more like it. Come on. I’ll treat you to dinner.” Cecilia smiled and nodded. She stepped on the gas pedal and sped toward the city.
The red Ferrari was like a flame against the sunset, racing down the road like a bullet.
The car had just driven for five minutes when it arrived at the three ring roads. Because the three ring roads led to the airport expressway, there was a lot of traffic.
Bang…
There was a muffled sound. The car in front of them had a flat tire, and the driver lost control of it. It drifted horizontally into the middle of the road, and three or four cars collided with each other soon after.
“Cecilia, look out!” roared Clarence.
Clarence was dumbstruck. He grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and turned it to one side.
If they had crashed into the cars, and the car behind them followed suit, and both of them would have died.
Fortunately, Clarence was quick to react. He made Cecilia’s Ferrari swerve out of the traffic and slam into a nearby barrier to slow down before finally stopping.
The cars behind them were not so lucky. They failed to dodge, crashing into the pile of cars one by one.
Bang…
Clank…
Screech…
The sound of metal crushing and brakes screeching rang out.
Once everything calmed down, there was a horrible traffic jam on the road. More than twenty cars had crashed into each other, after all.
The sound of the crying and screaming was overwhelming!
Clarence’s expression changed. “Cecilia, call the police. I’m going to help.”
With that said, Clarence ran straight into the scene of the crash and began saving lives.
Cecilia finally came to her senses and pulled out her phone to call emergency services.
Some passers-by nearby also called the police and 911 emergency services.
“What are you doing just standing there?
“Help me out!” Clarence was rushing to the crash scene and shouting at the onlookers.
“Well…”
Most passers-by looked hesitant. “Why don’t we just leave it at that?”
“This is the scene of a car accident. How are we going to explain when the traffic police come?”
“Yeah, it would be bad if the traffic police came and blamed us for tampering with the scene.”
“We’d better not move.”
Several people nodded.
Clarence roared, “Is life more important, or is the scene more important?
“Look, some of the tanks are broken. With so much gasoline on the ground, a single spark could blow up all these cars.
“Now, come and help me out!”
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” A young man walked out, but the woman next to him grabbed his hand. “Son, don’t…”
“Mom, I want to help.” The young man shook off his mother’s arm.
Seeing this, several more men joined in.
From the pile of cars, Clarence and the men pulled a married couple, a few elderly people, and four kids out… Because Clarence had X-ray vision, he pulled the seriously injured out first before saving the ones who were only slightly injured.
Just over ten minutes later, most of them were rescued.
Just then, Clarence heard a hasty argument in his ear. “No, Master Sanders. Your safety matters more. You can’t go back in there.”
A man in a black suit grabbed a woman. Both their faces were bruised.
Several men in suits that were keeping a low profile surrounded the woman as if to protect her.
“Master?”
Clarence looked at the woman strangely.
‘She’s a woman in her fifties. Why did they call her ‘Master’?’
Still in shock, the woman shook her head. “No, Yoyo’s still in there. We don’t know if she’s alive or not. I can’t leave her alone in the car. I want to save her.”
The man in the black suit stopped the woman. “Gas is leaking, and there could be an explosion at any time. It’s dangerous for you to go there.
“Why don’t we wait for traffic police to come? You should rest in a safe area by the roadside first.”
“What’s the matter?” asked Clarence as he walked over.
The men in suits looked wary as Clarence approached. “Who are you? Don’t come any closer.”
“Don’t mind him, he’s here to help. I saw him saving several people with the other passers-by.” The woman waved and pointed to a black Audi in the distance. “My adopted daughter is in that car. The car has turned over, and its gas is leaking. We can’t get her out.”
“Why can’t you? Are these people here to just stare at each other?” Clarence was a little angry.
The man in the black suit sneered. “Hmph, our job is to protect Master Sanders from harm.
“What if we all left to help the others out and someone tried to hurt Masters Sanders while we were distracted?”
Clarence was amused. “Is she some big shot? You shouldn’t be going outside at all if you’re that afraid that someone will hurt you.”
“What did you say?” The man in the black suit got mad. He now wanted to attack Clarence.
The woman shook her head and stopped him. “Stop.”
She looked at Clarence again apologetically. “Young man, can you help me save…”
Before she could finish, she heard a bang. One of the cars had exploded. A mushroom-shaped cloud instantly appeared in the sky as a raging fire started burning, smoke billowing from it!
Thump…
Large quantities of steel were carried aloft and smashed to the ground.
“Protect Master Sanders!” Several men in black suits rushed forward and surrounded the woman.
The woman stomped her foot anxiously. “Hurry! Save Yoyo. Just ignore me. The fire… The fire’s getting over there.”
The woman’s eyes were filled with fear as the waves of fire spread rapidly across the gasoline-soaked areas, making a path toward the Audi.
Cars were now exploding!
Clarence’s face froze. He rushed toward the Audi without hesitation.
“What are you doing, boy?
“The car is going to explode!” Terrified, the man in the black suit shouted at Clarence.
Clarence did not look back. “I’m going to save her, of course. Am I supposed to stand here like what you’re doing?”
Onlookers backed away from the exploding zone.
Clarence was the only one running toward the Audi. He looked out of place when compared against the retreating crowd.
Bang…
Bang…
Bang…
Explosions continued. The people watching were terrified.
“Is this young man out of his mind?”
“I heard there’s a girl in the Audi, and he wants to save her.”
“F*ck! The fire’s getting over there. He’s not going to save anyone. He’s just going to kill himself!” Many passers-by gaped.
The place burst into flames, and the area was covered in thick black smoke.
The man in the black suit kept tugging on the woman he was protecting as he backed away. “Master Sanders, it’s dangerous here. Let’s get out.”
Slap…
The woman raised her hand and slapped the man in the black suit. “Let go of me. I’m not leaving. I must save Yoyo.”
“Master Sanders, you’re very important. I apologize for this in advance.” The man in the black suit took off his suit jacket, wrapped it around the woman, picked her up, and ran.
Clarence was surrounded by smoke and fire right now.
Breathing had become extremely difficult, and he could hardly see. His heart pounded violently.
Enduring the choking smoke, Clarence focused himself and continued heading to the Audi.
When he set off, Clarence had calculated that he was more than fifty meters away from the Audi. The fuel was not burning forth that fast, so he had thirty seconds at most before it reached the Audi.
Therefore, he only had thirty seconds.
He had thirty seconds to find the girl, pull her out, and run to safety or die.
Clarence did not have much time to think about it. Using his gut feeling, he found an unconscious girl lying in the Audi.
Clarence glanced at her. She was still alive.
Clarence grabbed the girl by the arm and pulled her out of the car, only to get caught by something.
Bang…
At the same time, Clarence heard a loud explosion. It was twenty meters away from him at most, and the soundwave hurt Clarence’s eardrums.
“What to do… We’re stuck.” Clarence was distraught.
All he could do was pull on the girl as hard as he could. However, the more panicked he got, the more useless his efforts became.
Bang…
There was another explosion. It was ten meters away from Clarence.
He could smell the burning gasoline.
Being quick-witted, Clarence reached inside the car, wrapped his arm around the girl’s waist, hoisted her up, and pulled her out.
Finally.
The moment Clarence pulled the girl out of the Audi.
Clang…
A car next to the Audi exploded, its shockwaves sending Clarence and the Audi flying.
Clarence blacked out and lost consciousness..
