"Mr. Jiang, you're too kind."
"Without Mr. Jiang's help, I might still be stuck in the hotel, with no way to leave."
Ye Fei hurriedly waved her hands.
She was telling the truth. If Jiang Qiao hadn't entered the hotel, then even if the mutation had occurred, she would never have been able to control the situation on her own, much less cross the corridor and reach the end.
The most likely outcome.
Would have been to die on the fifth floor like the other Awakened.
On the entire fifth floor, aside from those "Night Wanderers" endlessly trapped in painful cycles, she was the only survivor.
She was also the only one who had escaped.
No matter what twists had occurred along the way or how many coincidences there had been, this opportunity had all come from Jiang Qiao.
"The two Masters suffered as well."
"We left in such a hurry that we abandoned you in the car."
"I see that Tower City is gone now. It couldn't have been easy for you to make it out, so you must have encountered plenty of danger along the way."
Jiang Qiao looked toward Master Kong Xin and his disciple.
"Amitabha."
"Benefactor Jiang, you flatter us."
"If not for Benefactor Jiang's help back then, my disciple and I would have long since become dry bones in the desert."
"Our ability to leave Tower City this time."
"Was also entirely thanks to Miss Ye's help."
"We truly feel ashamed to have caused you both so much trouble."
The Old Monk pressed his palms together.
He chanted a Buddhist invocation.
Jiang Qiao nodded, then turned to look at the shattered, twisted skyline in the distance.
The battle between the Half-Gods had shrouded the Northern Territory in terrifying killing intent. One Space Gap after another
