Soleil turned to face the grim sight of the mountains of corpses behind her and questioned him, “Your people are all gone. Who do you think wille to save you?”


    Juarez replied impulsively, “My girlfriend! If I don’t return, she will definitelye looking for me! As long as we can survive long enough to wait for her, rescue is possible!”


    Soleil shot back sarcastically, “I honestly can’t understand how you’ve managed to stay in charge for so long with that level of intelligence.”


    Pointing towards the outside, she added coldly, “Let’s not forget, there are over a million masters from the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall out there. As long as we’re alive, they won’t leave. When the timees, your girlfriending here will only lead to her death!”


    Juarez was suddenly engulfed by despair.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    But then, he quickly regained hisposure and dered, “No matter what, as long as we’re alive, there’s still hope for rescue! If we don’t start a fire, we can buy ourselves some time! Even if it’s just one more day, there’s a chance to survive! Miracles often happen in desperate situations. Perhaps ire can sway his decision, or maybe the Mexican police will find us and save us, or perhaps Wade has other enemies who mighte to our aid!”<fne303> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? </fne303>


    As he spoke, his excitement grew, and he urged everyone, “Even if there’s just a one in ten thousand chance, as long as we’re alive, there’s hope. It’s like buying a multi-million dor lottery ticket; even with odds of one in a million, just purchasing the ticket gives you a chance to win!”


    His words seemed to resonate with Soleil and the others.


    As long as life remains, the possibility of miracles persists. That much is true. Even if the odds are slim, it’s better than having none.


    With this thought in mind, Soleil gritted her teeth and eximed, “If that’s the case, let’s wait patiently. Perhaps if fate doesn’t end us, a miracle will ur!”


    Jase, who had been silent, chimed in resolutely, “Wait! I’m all for waiting! I haven’t lived enough, and as long as there’s a chance for life, I’m willing to wait!”


    Soleil nodded and turned to Ma Kui, asking, “Old Ma, what’s your take?”


    Ma Kui contemted for a moment before responding, “Then let’s wait! We’ll hold out until the veryst moment!”


    Soleil then looked at Xu Jianxi, “Lao Xu, what do you think?”


    “Wait!” Xu Jianxi said firmly, “As long as God gives me a chance to live, I promise to change my ways and start anew once I’m out!”


    Soleil agreed, “Most of us are fighting for our families. Perhaps God will see our struggle as justifiable and grant us life.”


    With a serious expression, she added, “Alright! Since we’ve all reached a consensus, we will wait for a miracle! But the priority right now is to be cautious and avoid any friction that could ignite the gasoline!”


    “Understood!” everyone replied in unison.


    At that moment, Hallie, who had been silent until now, couldn’t hold back a self-deprecatingugh, saying, “Why hasn’t anyone ever asked for my opinion?”


    Soleil replied coldly, “What’s the point of you talking here?”


    Hallie felt two tears roll down her cheeks as she stammered, “Even though I’ve never killed anyone directly or lied to harm others, I still feel responsible for aiding Zhou in indirectly causing so many deaths. It weighs heavily on me, and I dare not ask God for forgiveness. I just want to die and find peace—how can you say such things?!”


    Soleil, furious, raised her hand and pped Hallie hard across the face, scolding, “You worthless person, if you say anything to ruin my chance at happiness, I’ll take you out myself!”


    Hallie’s cheek turned red and swollen from the blow, but she simply managed a miserable smile, saying, “Aunt Soleil, someone as insignificant as I am doesn’t deserve your concern…”


    Soleil thought Hallie was finally showing some humility and scoffed in response.


    Just as she was about to speak, Hallie suddenly faced everyone with a smile and said earnestly, “I don’t want to wait any longer. Please, apany me on my journey!”


    Soleil was taken aback by Hallie’s disheartening words and felt a surge of anger. She raised her hand to strike her again, but suddenly noticed the lighter in Hallie’s grasp.


    Seeing Hallie poised to ignite the lighter, she shouted in a panic, “No, don’t!”


    Before she could finish her sentence, Hallie smiled faintly and struck the ignition with both hands.


    The lighter, designed for cigars, emitted a turquoise-blue me that flickered to life.


    In that instant, the wide eyes of everyone reflected the blue mes.


    In the very next second, an explosion of fire erupted around them!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
