The building downstairs has started being dismantled, so how could there be no response upstairs? Fighting had already erupted in the stairwell, but after brief contact, the people upstairs retreated.
Pavlovich didn't join the assault; he was one of the four people left in the stairwell to prevent anyone from coming down.
The assault on the eleventh floor was relatively easy; the challenge was getting to the twelfth. The eleventh floor could be considered a sneak attack, while the twelfth required a full-on assault, so Satan and Black Demon had to hit the twelfth floor hard simultaneously.
The Black Demon's attack was blisteringly fast; most of the rooms were cleared without casualties, and Gao Yang was already preparing for the assault on the twelfth floor.
"Prepare the elevators!"
There were two elevators that had both stopped on the eleventh floor, doors open. Rafael had stuck a leg inside to prevent one door from closing, and Tommy was guarding the other elevator.
