Even the cook stood stunned with stark fear written all over his face. "Don't talk nonsense. If the explosion happened in the kitchen, do you think I could still stand here?
Where did the explosion come from?"
Feeling confused, people started whispering among each other and were immersed in a heated discussion.
But not everyone seemed so chatty. There were some who were so consumed by fear that words wouldn't come out of them. Rick and Marcus were two such people.
After calling the police, Rick had to count the number of people present.
He checked all the way from left to right to ensure no one was missing. Only after he was somewhat convinced that everyone was present, he let out a sigh of relief.
Moreover, he was glad he had received the guests in person when they arrived. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known who left the villa and who didn't.
If someone got hurt here today, the Hawk Pharmaceutical Company and the cooperation case would surely be in vain.
Somebody was sinister enough to have done this.
The enemy had planned this with an intention of making him a laughingstock. Or perhaps he had a different goal. A goal to have him killed! Such thoughts spiraled inside Rick's head.
His mind wouldn't be put to rest. Relying on his height, he stood on one side of the flower bed and looked around to check if there was anyone missing.
'Hope everything will be fine,' he thought with a tinge of panic.
He then went to Marc

Michael glanced at the tensed look on Jack's face. He raised his hand and wanted to pat him on the shoulder. But he put it down after thinking for a while.
They went upstairs. Before they started to look for her, Michael heard someone talk and hurriedly pulled Jack back. "Hey, someone is talking."
The sound came from the front. 'Is there anyone still here?'
When they walked closer, they heard their conversation and stopped in their tracks.
"How about this woman?"
"Leave her here."
Both of them were shocked. They strode forward and took a turn in the corridor. Jack was almost driven crazy by what he saw.
The three workers didn’t notice the two. But Rachel’s helpless eyes saw them approaching. Just when she thought life was over, hope returned. Their presence brought such happiness that she wanted to scream.
Her changed expression didn’t go unnoticed by the three workers.
Unfortunately, they were too slow to react. When they turned their heads, Jack and Michael had already rushed over and each grabbed a man. They hit them so brutally that the two fell on the floor, completely knocked out.
The remaining man didn't even realize what had happened.
He looked at his two companions who were knocked out in the blink of an eye.
Seeing they were coming for him next, the man squatted down and begged for mercy.
"Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
