The entire hall was split into two distinctly different scenes.
Outside, at every passageway and intersection, armed militants crowded, each standing erect and their demeanor solemn.
In the center, the encircled hostages all displayed expressions of extreme panic; the atmosphere was very tense, and the entire scene looked incredibly chaotic in contrast to the tranquility outside.
Especially after the appearance of some oddly dressed individuals, the unrest among the people intensified even further!
"Who are the stubborn ones?" the leader, a man in a red trench coat, asked in Mandarin.
He was the one referred to as "Duke" by the person next to him.
In the corner.
Chen Hao, upon seeing the man and the three strangely dressed figures behind him, raised his eyebrows slightly and a peculiar smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Kean?"
Chen Hao recognized the identity of the "Duke" dressed in a red trench coat at a glance.
It was Duke Kean of the Blood Clan!
