Chapter 619

Pearl wondered if she was cursed to always encounter fires.

As she complained about her bad luck, she realized that Sean was still in a daze. She grabbed his

hand and pulled him toward the fire exit.

While running, she assessed the situation and noticed that the fire seemed to be originating from the

third floor, which was below their current location on the fifth floor. It appeared that the fire had blocked

their path down.

The flames had also reached the staircase, and thick smoke filled the area. Taking the elevator was out

of the question.

When the crowd reached the third–floor staircase, they found that it was impossible to use the stairs

due to the intense fire. Frowning, Pearl quickly assessed the situation and decided on a different plan.

But Sean held her hand tightly and asked, sounding anxious and worried, “Where are you going?”

Annoyed, Pearl rolled her eyes and retorted, “Are you an idiot? Where can I go now? I’m going to look

for a fire extinguisher and water.”

“I’m going with you!”

But Pearl shook her head. “No, the fire is very big now. You might die if you’re careless.”

Sean’s concern was evident as he replied, “Don’t you care about yourself then? Why do you want to go

alone?”

“We’re different! I went through years of stamina training, so this kind of fire won’t stop me. I would

have escaped already if it weren’t for you and this group of people.” She found Sean rather foolish

because he had worried too much.

Sean reluctantly released her hand but took off his coat and handed it to her. “Take this. Wet it and use

it to protect yourself. You’re wearing a dress today, and you might get burned.”

Pearl gladly accepted his offer, draping it over her dress. She thanked him with a smile before running

to the fourth floor, heading for the fire extinguisher.

She grabbed a fire extinguisher, but upon shaking it, she discovered that it was empty. This didn’t make

sense, as fire extinguishers in such large malls should be regularly inspected. Besides, the mall had

never experienced a fire before.

Pearl’s heart sank as she realized that the fire might have been intentionally set. It was too late to

search for firefighting equipment now, and she couldn’t carry much on her own. Were they doomed to

be trapped there, waiting for their death?

In her anxious state, she absentmindedly gripped her hands together and felt a hard object that hurt

her fingers. Lowering her gaze, she saw it was her ring.

This ring could help her ?ontact the nearest organization. It was a perfect tool for escaping as it could

reveal her location. At that moment, whether or not she was exposed no longer mattered. She

decisively activated the sensor and tried to reach out to the nearest personnel. Swiftly, the indicator

started flashing, and Pearl hurriedly got in touch with the nearest

person.

“Boss, what can I do for you?”

“Get ten people here with firefighting equipment,” Pearl urgently requested.

The person on the other end was stunned. “Firefighting equipment? Are you sure you don’t need

weapons?”

Pearl got anxious because of that person’s slowness. “I’m inside the mall, and there’s a fire. Bring

firefighting equipment immediately. There are around a hundred people trapped here.” The person

quickly grasped the situation and promised to comply with her order.
