Bab 166: The Source of Hostility

Day 6 – 2:15 PM – Multi-Purpose Clubhouse, Citta Italia, Molino III, Bacoor City, Cavite

The sudden sounds of several vehicles leaving the convoy and the commotion outside also alarmed the military and government officials. They all entered the clubhouse with just a few of their subordinates to discuss things that the refugees should not hear. Apparently, it was about conditions and deal Congresswoman Lanie and Chief Mallari had with this group of criminals.

Apparently, aside from the given threats, this armed group also had hostages with them. Because of that, even if the people from the City Hall had enough firepower, they would still not be able to make a move against these criminals without sacrificing those hostages. Because of this, even the stern faced major could only agree despite how much he loathed doing so. They already lost too much people back at the settlement and they could afford to lose more if they could retrieve them peacefully.
