RedNovelChapter 580: "Over there, quickly!" Understanding her urgency, Ethan hustled to the next door, his card at the ready. As the door opened, he was met with a ghastly sight: the room was engulfed in flames. Fire danced violently across the furniture, and the pillows smoldered ominously. In the midst of the chaos, Joe lay asleep.
Ethan didn't hesitate. He grabbed a nearby bottle of water and splashed it onto Joe's face, jolting him awake. Joe erupted into a fit of coughs, his eyes widening in horror as he took in the fiery nightmare around him. He searched for his clothes, only to see the small sofa where he had left them completely consumed by flames. The grim realization struck him-if not for Ethan's timely intervention, he might have died in the blaze. With the fire spreading fast, urgency overtook gratitude. Joe rushed to the wardrobe, which the flames hadn't reached yet, grabbed sclothes, and hurried out with Ethan.

Ethan's sharp eyes darted toward the wall-mounted alarm panel. He knew every inch of his hotel like the back of his hand. With a fire this intense, the alarms should have been blaring. The fact that they weren't only confirmed his worst fear-this wasn't an accident. Someone had deliberately sabotaged the system.
Turning back to Brenna, he grabbed her hand tightly, urgency burning in his voice.
"Brenna, you were right all along. We can't just think about getting ourselves out of here. This is my hotel, my responsibility. I can't leave everyone behind. You go first. Don't worry about me. I'm going to manually trigger the alarm and the fire control system." Brenna shook her head.

In that moment, Brenna's perception of Ethan shifted. Moments ago, she had believed he only cared about himself. Now, she knew that wasn't true.
