“Hmm? What is going on?”
Diana Red came over and said, “Mr. Mayo, there seems to be a fire there. There seem to be people stranded inside the building.”
“Let’s take a look.”
Thomas threw his cigarette and drove his car to the fire scene. On their way there, they were stuck on the road.
It was rush hour and the road was full of traffic. Thomas Mayo got off the car and noticed that even the emergency lane was on both sides of the road was congested by private cars as well. There was no way for the fire truck to get to the fire scene in time. At that very moment itself, the fire department was struggling to clear the road to the fire scene.
It was rush hour. The number of cars on the road was so overwhelming that it was impossible for them to go through. The building would be burnt to a crisp by the time the fire truck arrived.
Thomas made his way through the crowd with Aries following right behind him.
As they got nearer to the building that caught fire, they realized that it was a thirty-story high building. The top five and six floors were on fire and it was spreading and getting strong as time passes.
The elevator was unusable. Those who were stranded were crying out of anguish. They were in a state of hopelessness.
A man around sixty-year-old rushed forward and shouted at the building on fire, “You must persevere, my dear wife and grandchild! I have already called for help!”
He shouted again and again despite the fact that they might not hear him.
Aries went over and took a look, then favonovel.com whispered in Thomas’s ear, “Commander, that man is the current head of the Martin family, Arthur Martin!”
‘Head of the Martin family?’
That was a significant title. Arthur’s identity and position were comparable with Nicholas Gomez. Both of them held a fairly high position in Central City. The Martin family had unimaginable wealth. After all, the Martin family was the owner of Pivot Technology.
The fire truck was nowhere in sight as the fire grew stronger. Martin was desperate as favonovel.com watched the fire which was about to take the life of his beloved family.
He shouted at the crowd, “If anyone manages to save my wife and grandchild, I am willing to pay five hundred thousand dollars as a reward to thank my savior!”
Five hundred thousand dollars! It was a huge sum to any normal person out there.
But…
As the crowd looked at the building that was on fire, not a single one dared to go in for a rescue mission no matter how much they were paid.
“One million dollars!” Martin increased the reward, but yet, no one stepped forward.
“Two million dollars!”
At this point, Martin could no longer regard money in order to save his family. The reward that was offered was really tempting.
There was a saying that the brave was rewarded handsomely for their actions. But reality was cruel, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves to earn these two million dollars.
It was not that they did not want to earn the money, but it was because they were not capable of doing so. The fire soared sky-high. If some were to enter the building now, favonovel.com or favonovel.com would either be dead or heavily injured. It was never a good idea to put your very own life at stake for the sake of money.
Aries shook his head. “It seems like there is no hope this time.”
Everyone thought nothing could be done, and that was it for Arthur’s wife and grandchild. But it was at that moment when someone stepped forward.
It was Thomas Mayo. He pushed through the crowd and said calmly, “I will save them.”
