Chapter 14: This is Out of the Ordinary
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The impatient man with the camera was indeed a crew member of the TV station.
His name was Ron. He had been sent to the street interview team because of his temper, but he felt like it was an insult.
He didn’t want to waste his time at a place like this. Especially after their visit to the fire department, he was even more convinced that there was no need for for them to interview Bruce.
This was because no matter who Ron interviewed, he would always get the answer that Bruce was a peerless master.
Something about shooting ice-like vortexes from his hands.
And having superspeed that was as fast as a cheetah.
This was completely beyond the bounds of a normal human.
If he knew magic and had a good physique, he was probably not human, but an anime character!
Therefore, Ron would not believe it, and naturally, he was not interested in the interview.
If it were not for the fact that Aurora knew his boss, he would not even be here.
The fact that Aurora wanted them to be more considerate of Bruce’s feelings made him even more disgusted. After all, interviews were meant to dig up the things that were burried deep within the interviewees’ hearts. Only then would the interview be considered a success.
Not only did Aurora intend to refrain from asking the deep dark secrets, she also intended to protect the interviewee.
What was the point of the interview?!
Why not just go home.
“Ms. Aurora, I think you are a little too concerned about Bruce.”
Ron added when he thought of this.
His comment made Aurora unhappy. “I can tolerate whatever you have said before, but you are getting more and more out of bounds. I can’t pretend that I didn’t hear you. If you continue this attitude, I will immediately call your boss, I’ll get you to keep your mouth shut forever!”
Ron wanted to retort, but he curled his lips and said in a deep voice, “Understood.”
At this time, Bruce had already opened the door and let them in.
“Hello, Mr. Bruce. We meet again.”
Aurora entered the door and immediately greeted Bruce, who was still cleaning.
“You guys do whatever you want. I’ll tidy up a little, or else there won’t be any room for the new equipment.”
“Okay, we’ll help ourselves.” Aurora didn’t say anything else.
She pulled the three of them to the sofa and sat down quietly as they waited for Bruce.
After a while, Ron started getting impatient and said, “We’re here for an interview, not to watch you clean up!”
“Really?” Bruce didn’t even raise his head. “I don’t remember volunteering for an interview. It was you guys who wanted to come. To be honest, I don’t want an interview either. You guys can just leave.”
Bruce’s tone was not a good one.
“This interview was originally Aurora’s idea, it wasn’t my request. If this is the case, complain amongst yourselves, aren’t you targeting the wrong person?!”
“You!” Hearing this, although Ron was very angry, yet he couldn’t say it out loud.
Aurora immediately stopped him. “Ron, if you’re going to be like this, you can go back first. I really don’t want to put up with this.”
Then Aurora turned to Bruce and said, “Mr. Bruce, you can continue cleaning up first. We’re not in a hurry. The interview wasn’t part of your plan. We’re sorry for disturbing you.”
Bruce nodded and didn’t say anything.
At this time, he had almost finished cleaning up. He would clean up the rest later.
Otherwise, it didn’t seem good to make others wait.
“I’m done.” Bruce cleaned up a bag of garbage, he then clapped his hands and said, “You can conduct the interviews and take photos, but it can only be limited to my house. I won’t be leaving the house.”
“Tch, just because we’re not giving you money?!” Ron said in a low voice.
As soon as he said this, Bruce immediately reminded him, “Did I mention money from the start?”
This time, Ron paused.
Indeed, Bruce didn’t mention money from the start, and no one had ever mentioned it.
Aurora also didn’t mention it, which showed that Bruce really didn’t think about it.
“Sorry, Mr. Bruce, I forgot to tell you. This is indeed a paid interview. We will pay you 300 yuan and try to finish it within three hours,” Aurora immediately said.
She was not a professional when it came to interviews, so she did not pay much attention to this matter. This was her mistake.
However, Bruce did not think much of it and replied, “Oh.”
Money?!
Did he lack money? !
What he lacked now was points!
Without points, he could not redeem anything.
“Then Mr. Bruce, shall we begin?” Aurora asked.
This time, Aurora was the host. She had the manuscript in her hands, all she had to do was read it and pretend that she was chatting with Bruce.
“Let’s begin.” Bruce nodded.
The two of them sat on the sofa, facing each other. At this time, Ron had set up the camera again.
“Don’t be nervous. Just think of it as our usual conversation.”
“If there are questions that you don’t want to answer, just tell me directly. We can edit it out, don’t be afraid.”
Bruce nodded without saying a word.
“Mr. Bruce.”
“Just call me Bruce.”
Aurora asked, “Okay, Bruce, can you tell me what happened yesterday?”
“Okay, the neighbors and the community workers had a party at my house yesterday. At that time, all the residents of this building were in my house, so no one noticed that the fifth floor was already on fire. Then I smelled the burning smell in the air, that’s how I found out about the fire.”
Aurora nodded.
Then she asked, “What were the decisions that you made at that time?”
“First, the community workers and I organized the evacuation of the residents. After everyone had evacuated, I shut the door tightly and opened all of the windows and faucets,” Bruce said calmly.
After listening, Aurora couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you choose to leave with the neighbors at that time? Is there an important reason?!”
‘Reason?!’
Bruce didn’t know if the she could accept the truth.
Especially during an interview. He couldn’t tell them that he didn’t leave the house because of the system.
Of course, this wasn’t possible.
“Yes, it’s a very serious reason.” Bruce narrowed his eyes, he seemed to be very serious as he said, “As I said, my bedroom was already on fire. If I had left immediately, then I would have created the second scene of the fire. It would have increased the difficulty of extinguishing the fire. I could only choose to stay in the house, let the air circulate, and turn on all the faucets to reduce the spread of the fire.”
Having heard this, everyone was shocked.
As Bruce said, if he had really left with the other neighbors, this place would have been a sea of fire.
This was no doubt a self-sacrificing operation!
Admirable!
