The scorching flames fluttered around Hugo, like a tiny bladed steel knife cutting through Hugo's skin, causing Hugo great pain.

Although the world in front of him is only an illusory world in the stone inscription of Tritoglaia, the pain it creates is extremely real.

Hugo is now no longer protected by the Blasphemer's abilities, and he will face the same pain as ordinary people face fire.

Ever since Hugo became a desecratest, Hugo has been much more sluggish in terms of pain.

Unless the other blasphemers show their terrifying power, an ordinary attack would be a tickle for Hugo. But now Hugo has returned to normal pain.

For some reason, Hugo suddenly remembered the scene of his last battle with Dicar, and thought that it should be the moment when he felt the pain the most.

Time has passed, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, but that feeling has always remained in Hugo's heart, and it is still vivid in his mind when he is remembered again.

At the thought of this, a force suddenly poured into Hugo's veins, making him move more quickly, like a dead man who put life and death on the line, rushing wildly in the safe passage in the flames.

Passing through several violently burning craters in one breath, Hugo suddenly felt that the fire around him had become smaller, and both the burning degree and the burning degree of the flames were much smaller than before.

Hugo suddenly reflected the reason for this.

Matthew's purpose of this action is very clear, it is to seek money, and the reason why he targets the Luna Group is to force the Luna Group to compromise. With Hugo's knowledge of Matthew, the amount of money he asked for was definitely not a small number.

And in order to make the whole extortion process more rapid and not give the Luna Group and the Metropolitan Police Department a chance to react, Matthew created this fire.

But in any case, Matthew is also in this fire, whether it is for himself or the hostages in his hands, he has to control the whole fire to the best extent.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but sigh that no matter what world Matthew was in, he was an extremely terrifying criminal genius.

But the situation in front of him was more favorable to Hugo, who seized the opportunity to continue to sprint towards the goal.

...

Twenty-second floor.

The banquet hall, which had been extremely spacious and elegant, was now in shambles, and the tables and chairs tumbled as if they had just experienced a shootout.

Matthew sat peacefully in a chair, carrying a wine bottle in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand, while calmly tasting wine.

In front of him, there was an open space that had been haphazardly cleaned up, and more than fifty men and women were all sitting on the ground with their heads crossed, shivering, and sobbing voices kept coming from it.

While tasting wine, Matthew leisurely looked at the scene in front of him, humming the minor tune of the opera from time to time, which looked extremely pleasant.

"Do not be afraid. Matthew whispered softly to the crowd.

"I'm going to have ten minutes to limit again, and I guess your head will call me the money as promised, hehe! I can't be happier just thinking about that amount, and I bet you that I'll be so excited that I won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

No one echoed Matthew, and he was like a man singing his own one-man show.

But Matthew didn't care about it, but seemed to be enjoying it very much.

"However, to speak in good conscience, the amount I offered is indeed not small, and even a big enterprise like the Luna Group will have to work hard to come up with it for a while. But it should be worth it!"

Matthew laughed out loud, drank the red wine in his glass, and then said, "You must know that this money is not to extinguish this fire, but to save the lives of you people! Who are you? You are the elite of this society, you are the precious talents of this world, how can this world function well without you? Wouldn't the future of mankind be bleak without you? Without you... Tsk, I can't imagine it. ”

After that, Matthew laughed exaggeratedly again, his smile was very sunny, and it could be seen that he was very happy, but I don't know why he was laughing, whether it was because he said something funny or because he felt happy from the pain and fear of the people in front of him.

"Well, all in all, this deal is not a loss, and I have made a conscience price. After this incident, you will all become the focus of attention in society if you survive. Think about it, each of you is a billion dollars in life. Tsk, such a large amount of money must be known to ordinary people who can't get it for a few lifetimes. You can say that you have been a blessing in disguise, and you have to thank me for making you richer. ”

Matthew was like a madman in control of the world, giving the most passionate and crazy speech in the spacious banquet hall.

With that, Matthew seemed to feel thirsty, and filled his glass with a large glass of red wine. Matthew then raised his glass in the air.

The lighting circuits in the banquet hall had long since been burned by the fire, but through the constant flames burning outside the window, the glasses filled with wine had already revealed a bewitching color.

"It's beautiful!" Matthew exclaimed heartily.

"Actually, I envy you, because you can live, and live a very delicate life, compared to you and me, I am as rough as a flower child. ”

Matthew raised his glass as he turned his gaze back to the captives.

"You are very careful when you drink wine, and even when you drink this kind of high-end product, you have to pay attention to tasting it carefully, and feel the mellow and soft taste of the wine in your mouth. Gee... Exquisite!"

"But I'm different, to tell you the truth, this is the first time I've entered such a high-end venue, and it's also the first time I've drunk this kind of high-end goods. Let's just say I don't know the text, I don't know if it's made in France or Honduras, but I can feel the sweet taste... You must not feel it. That's the smell of money!hahaha!"

Matthew burst into laughter again, and as he laughed, everyone's bodies trembled more and more.

Matthew said: "Of course, the more you drink this kind of good thing, the better, you must drink more, drink well!"

With that, Matthew dropped the bottle and snapped his fingers at the mouth of the glass with his free hand.

Suddenly, the wine in the wine glass was already burning, and the slender flames were nearly a meter high.

Looking at the flames in front of him that danced like a fiery snake, Matthew screamed excitedly, looking like an extremely happy child.

Drinking the flaming wine again, Matthew then dropped the glass on the ground, shattering it to pieces, and then stood up.

At this time, Matthew no longer had a smile on his face, but said coldly.

"Ten minutes, it's here. ”
