Chapter 272 Global Live Stream


"Don't make noise. Don't make noise!"


Bang! The screeching and gunshots terrified everyone in the lobby.


The noise and confusion lasted a full five minutes until a hotel security guard was shot and blood splattered. The lobby instantly fell silent.


Ebony narrowed his eyes slightly as she looked at the shot security guard who was just one counter away from her.


Everyone in the Love Romance show team was scared to death! All of them gathered together, squatting in a corner.


The chief director took a look at the people around him. After looking around, he was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Where are Mr. Vasquez and Ebony?!"


The chief director looked over and saw that on the opposite side, Ebony was squatting in front of the counter with a group of people she didn't know, and holding a strange little white girl in her arms.


Although he didn't know when she got through, it was good she was fine.


[But where is Lloyd?]


Belinda asked with a pale face from behind, "What's going on? Robbery?"


"It doesn't look it. They're all wearing military uniforms," Josue said.


Kara said timidly, "I heard that some small southern countries often have civil wars. Are we getting into one?"


Donald said, "Shhh, stop talking. They're collecting the phones."


Ebony looked diagonally ahead of her. There, two rioters were holding two black bags and taking away everyone's mobile phones one by one.


Soon it was her turn.


Ebony took her phone out of her pocket and put it in the bag obediently. But as the rioters were about to leave, she said in Eglelish, "Wait a minute."


The rioters looked at her with guns.


Ebony looked innocent. She pointed to the little white girl in her arms and said, "Her watch is also a phone."


The little white girl was stunned


Then, under the tearful gaze of the little white girl, Ebony removed the watch from her wrist.


When putting the watch in that black bag, Ebony quickly grabbed the phone she had just put in and put it into her sleeve before reaching out.


The rioters didn't see that she was taking back her phone. They thought she was very sensible and left with the bags.


Ebony hid the phone. As soon as she lowered her head, she met the little girl's green eyes.


Ebony mouthed, "What are you looking at?!"


The little white girl was speechless.


Ebony pushed the little girl into the arms of a hotel waiter in the back, and then secretly observed the surrounding situation.


There were a lot of rioters. Except for some of them who went upstairs to catch people in the guest rooms, there were nearly one hundred people left in the lobby.


Ebony narrowed her eyes and began to observe the building structure of the lobby and the various exits.


Soon, everyone in the rooms upstairs was taken down. The lobby instantly became overcrowded.


After Ebony observed the surroundings, she raised her eyes and looked at a central air-conditioning vent diagonally above her head.


The man lurking in the vent also looked at her at this time. The two looked at each other. Ebony gave Lloyd a slight nod.


Lloyd was a Crocan soldier. In a special crisis, as a soldier, he must give priority to his safety and could not be captured so that he would have the opportunity to rescue others.


When the riot broke out, Lloyd chose to hide as fast as he could, which was his professional instinct as a soldier.


Lloyd stuck his fingers out of the vent, tapped it with his fingers, and transmitted a series of Morse codes to Ebony.


Ebony understood. Lloyd was saying that he had contacted the Crocan military, and the military had now contacted the Bierske embassy and the Bierske government army.


The Bierske government army said that this was a local rebel revolution and that although the rebels were arrogant, they probably would not harm civilians, especially foreigners, because it would lead to international disputes.


Ebony looked at the waiter who had been shot not far away. She didn't believe that the rebels would not harm civilians.


But they probably wouldn't dare to hurt foreigners. Some insensible hostages were still whispering secretly. But when the rebels saw it, they didn't do anything about them.


Yes, she was talking about the chief director and assistant director of their Love Romance show team! Under such a circumstance, they were still having so much fun chatting! Why didn't they use a microphone and entertain others?


As time passed by, the entire lobby remained silent.


After a while, Ebony suddenly saw Lloyd gesturing to her again in the vent.


The translation was, the government forces did not intend to compromise, and the peace talks with the rebels failed.


Almost at the same time, a rebel general over there suddenly cursed, grabbed a hotel waiter, and punched and kicked him.


Ebony frowned tightly.


After he beat up the poor waiter, the general glanced around, walked to the Love Romance show team with a gun, and grabbed Belinda at the back of the crowd!


The people on the show team were stunned.


Ebony was also taken aback.


Belinda seemed frightened. The chief director and the assistant director had been whispering. Why did she get arrested?!


She was so terrified that she screamed!


Bang! The rebel general fired another shot at the ceiling impatiently.


Belinda finally fell silent.


The rebel general murmured some local dialects to his companions. Others didn't understand, but Ebony knew what he was saying.


He was saying, "This woman is an Asean star."


Wow, she was indeed the only Crocan actress nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars. She was famous that even the rebels recognized her. Belinda must be very proud now.


Ebony sat opposite, thinking silently.


The rebel general grabbed Belinda's clothes in one hand and held a gun in the other. He pointed the gun at Belinda's head, and said to his subordinate, "Let's live stream!"


Livestreaming?


His subordinate turned on the live stream. The next second, on all the square screens in Bierske, a picture of the rebel leader holding a gun and taking an Asean actress hostage appeared instantly.


The rebel leader murmured and threatened in the live streaming room to the effect that if the government forces did not surrender, he would kill the Asean actress and cause international unrest!


It was known that Crocan was not easy to mess with.


If the famous Crocan female star died, Crocan would do something. He'd wait and see how the government army would explain to the Crocan government!


The incident of the rebels taking a Crocan actress hostage was broadcast live in Bierske. But in the Internet age, live streaming video was synchronously transmitted to the Internet in various countries around the world in less than ten minutes!


There was a time difference between Bierske and Crocan. So, Crocan netizens just took a nap, and they heard the explosive news when they woke up!


The pride of the country and the only Crocan actress who had been nominated for an Oscar, Belinda was kidnapped by the local rebels while recording a show in a small overseas country!


There was an endless stream of netizens retweeting, commenting, and googling on Twitter. The popularity was so high that it directly crashed the Twitter server!


When the rebel leader knew that the live streaming had gone viral on the global Internet, he directly changed the language to Eglelish, and expressed his wishes to global netizens and leaders of other countries.


The general idea was that as long as the government forces surrendered, he would let everyone go!


After he switched to Eglelish, Belinda, who had been crying bitterly, finally understood what he meant.


Belinda immediately said in Eglelish, "If you are looking for an influential Crocan film star, don't pick me. Lloyd Vasquez is here too! He is an Oscar winner! He is more famous!"


It fell silent.


As soon as Belinda said these words, whether it was Twitter or foreign social platforms, including the regular current affairs media that was broadcasting it and commenting, everyone froze.


The rebel leader was also stunned for a moment. He looked at Belinda, squinted his eyes, and asked, "You said Lloyd..."


"Lloyd Vasquez!" Belinda said quickly, "You can google it. He is famous and he is right here. We were still together just now, and now..."


Belinda couldn't find Lloyd anymore.


In a panic, she suddenly saw Ebony's sharp eyes across the counter.


The desire to survive overwhelmed everything.


Belinda hurriedly pointed at Ebony, gritted her teeth, and said, "She...she is Lloyd Vasquez's wife. Go catch her!"


There was silence all around.


The rebel leader looked at Ebony, let go of Belinda, and strode forward. At the same time, the live streaming camera turned in the direction of Ebony.


In a set of black casual clothes, the long-haired, fair-skinned, and beautiful girl was sitting on the cold tiled floor by the counter.


The rebel leader stopped in front of Ebony, reaching for her collar. The next second, Ebony avoided his hand and got up herself.


The rebel leader frowned and asked, "Are you Lloyd Vasquez's wife?"


Ebony sneered. Her cold eyes swept in Belinda's direction, and then she said in Eglelish, "Sorry, wait a moment."


With that, she passed the leader and strode forward. Finally, she stood in front of Belinda.


Belinda said with difficulty, "You are better at fighting. You're a more suitable hostage than me..."


Ebony slapped Belinda hard in the face.


Belinda covered her face and looked at her in disbelief, "You..."


Ebony slapped her a second time.


"Ebony!" Belinda yelled.


...


"Ah! Ebony! You..."


Ebony slapped Belinda ten times.


Belinda's face was red and swollen, and blood was coming out of her mouth! Belinda opened her mouth and three teeth fell out.


"Ebony..."


"Hey, don't fight..." At this moment, a rebel walked over fiercely, intending to stop Ebony.


Ebony leaned to one side, avoiding the rebel's hand while clasping his wrist.


The rebel was stunned.


The next second, Ebony broke his wrist with one hand with no expression, and the rebel screamed


Ebony remained calm and took away his gun directly.


She threw the rebel to the ground and loaded the gun. In less than half a second, Ebony pointed the muzzle of the gun directly between Belinda's eyebrows.


Belinda's legs trembled with fright, and she didn't move.


All the rebels turned their guns on Ebony.


The rebel leader immediately scolded, "Don't shoot!"


No shots were fired, and the lobby was silent.


Ebony stared at Belinda with clear and cold eyes.


She said in a cold voice, "I want to shoot you..."


Belinda's face contorted in horror.


Ebony, however, threw the machine gun on the ground in the next second. She lowered her eyes, straightened her somewhat messy sleeves, and sneered, "Unfortunately, I can't leave a criminal record."


She no longer looked at Belinda, and turned around with folded arms.


Around her, there were circles of armed rebels. In front of her was the shocked rebel leader.


Ebony said coldly, "What did you ask me just now? Am I Lloyd Vasquez's wife? Oh, yes, I am."
