Chapter 350 Zev and the Rich Kids Were Trapped
Finished
Thick smoke began seeping into the private room from outside. The same soundproofing that kept parties private now meant mes would engulf this room in minutes.
"Wake up!" Kelly took a deep breath, ran into the bathroom, wet her clothes and covered her face, then started calling the rich second-generations lying on the sofa.
"Help!" The sober beauty tried to open the door in panic, but it was stuck.
"Wake up!" Kelly kicked Zev. Seeing that he was still a bit drunk, she covered his head with the ice bucket.
The cold shock jolted Zev awake, making him shiver as he looked up at Kelly in fear. "Honey...
"You''re about to lose your honey!" Kelly gritted her teeth, furious, and kicked the sofa where the other men were lying.
These were all sons of Scaville''s elite families-privileged rich kids.
"Dammit..." Zev got to his feet and nced out of the small window. The thick smoke outside obscured
his view.
Grabbing a bottle of mineral water from the table, Zev chugged it down, then, with Kelly, began shouting at the others. "Wake up! Get up!"
Zev had special training, so the alcohol didn''t affect him much, and he sobered up quickly. But the others on the sofa didn''t have the same resilience.
"This guy is Horizon Bank''s little heir. Shawn really isn''t holding back," Zev muttered, filling the ice bucket with water and sshing it onto people''s faces.
Everyone here tonight had a good rtionship with Caden.
Over the past few weeks, Caden had been socializing nonstop for Zev''s sake.
"Shit!"
One by one, the rich kids were jolted awake, cursing as they sat up on the floor. "Who the hell-"
"Fire!"
The fear of death instantly sobered them up, snapping them out of their drunken haze. They kicked the door with all their strength, but the heavy door was locked from the outside and was difficult to break
open.
"The fire is spreading! What do we do?" Julian Sommer, the rich kid from the Horizon Bank, was already in
tears.
"Charles ... No way! Am I dreaming? Where the hell have you been?" It took two buckets of water to wake Caden. The moment he saw the man, his first instinct was to throw a punch.
But the man didn''t give him a chance, pulling him into a firm hold. "Cut it out. We don''t even know if we''re getting out of here alive."
Caden quickly pulled himself together, wiped his face, and ran to the door. Thick smoke billowed in from

the outside, and mes were already creeping through the cracks. With the venttion shut off, it wouldn''t be long before they all suffocated to death.
"The door isn''t locked-it''s jammed with an iron bar," Charles said, kicking it while listening for any sounds outside.
"Caden, this is all your damn fault! If we hadn''te out drinking, none of this would''ve happened!" Julian sobbed from the floor.
"Cut it out! Stop crying-have some self-respect!" Kasper Monroe snapped, covering his nose and mouth as he paced anxiously. "The door was locked on purpose. Someone must''ve pissed off the wrong person, and now they''re trying to burn us alive."
Kelly turned on every faucet in the bathroom, letting water spill out as much as possible before soaking herself. “Everyone, wet your clothes and cover your nose and mouth!"
Zev looked up at the venttion shaft, then turned to Charles. "I''ll crawl through and unlock the door from the outside."
"Are you crazy?" Charles grabbed Zev''s arm. "If the fire reaches the venttion shaft, you''ll be trapped in an
oven."
Kelly''s eyes reddened as she looked at Zev, anxiety clear on her face. "We should wait for rescue...
"If we wait, we''ll all die here." Zev pulled Kelly into his arms, lowering his voice. "Trust me."
Kelly clenched her fists tightly and said nothing.
Caden grabbed Zev in a panic. "No, you can''t go! Are you insane? This has to be that bastard Shawn. He''s probably afraid we''ll side with you, so he set the fire to try and burn us all alive."
The other young masters exchanged uneasy nces. They knew about Shawn, and how influential he had be recently, but they never expected him to be this ruthless.
"Zev...
maybe we should wait for rescue," Julian said through his tears.
Zev stared at the gap under the door. "We won''t make it if we wait."
Having soaked himself in the bathroom, Zev pulled his damp jacket over his head and wrapped his hands in it, then began crawling up the venttion shaft.
"God, please help us....
"Zev, if we survive today, we''re brothers for life! Any man who won''t stand by his brothers is a goddamn coward!" Kasper shouted up at Zev.
The others nervously covered their heads, praying Zev would get them out alive.
These second-generation heirs were all proud and rarely followed anyone. Even
if they hung out with Caden, most of them just did it because of Caden''s influence, not out of real respect.
But after today, they''d all have to respect Zev.
Zev had to thank Shawn for giving him the chance to prove himself.

As the saying went, true strategists never shied away from a gamble-those with
real skill knew how to take risks. Kelly leaned against the wall, her heart
pounding.
Zev wasn''t blind to the fact that Shawn would kill them.
He, too, was waiting for Shawn to make his move.
"Please, let everything be okay..." Kelly whispered, desperately holding her hand over her mouth and
nose.
"My phone has no signal, this is so frustrating."
"Mine doesn''t either."
"Damn, my phone can make satellite calls!" one of the rich heirs yelled, pulling out
his phone to call for help. "There''s a dy. Hurry up and answer..."

"The fire''s already spread. Anyone who managed to escape would have already called, but the fire department will need time to get here, and even more time to get in. We won''t make it in time..." Charles held Caden close, covering his head with a piece of clothing, coughing hard.
