The hotel hallway was eerily quiet.
Gloria could hear her own rapid breathing clearly.
She had no idea when Sebastian would realize she had escaped, so she didn't dare stop running.
She ran down all thirty floors without pausing for a breath.
Finally, as she burst out of the hotel, her legs gave way, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Looking back, she saw no one chasing her, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.
But now that she had escaped, she had no idea where to go next.
Gloria hid in a corner to catch her breath, watching the bustling night scene of Majestic City. A wave of sadness washed over her.
This city, where she had grown up, no longer felt like home.
Because of Sebastian, she now felt a deep-seated fear of this place.
Thinking of Sebastian, Gloria didn't dare waste any more time. She carefully blended into the crowd.
She couldn't afford to be negative now; Sebastian could catch up to her at any moment.
