Phoenix was the first to rush over. She flipped the overturned table and helped Ye Xiong to his feet, shouting frantically, "Reaper! Reaper! Ye Xiong, are you alright?"
Unfortunately, after she called out his name several times, Ye Xiong remained motionless.
Phoenix checked him over. There were shards of glass embedded in his skin and many minor cuts, but she couldn't see any major injuries. However, she knew all too well that the aftereffects of an explosion weren't always visible. There could be internal damage, fractures, or bleeding that left no mark on the surface. Given the power of the bomb, he was surely caught in the blast.
Phoenix waved her hand in front of his face and realized he had stopped breathing. Her own face turned pale with fright.
Just then, He Mengji pressed her ear to his chest. "There's a faint heartbeat," she said. "He should still be alive."
