章 500: Rising Hatred

CHAPTER 500

Rather than responding, Liu Xueyi peeled his gaze from her briefly when he noticed a figure jumping from the top of the stage to the stairs. 

"They are escaping," he whispered, his voice a soothing balm in the aftermath of the harrowing incident.

"Huh, please don't go," she uttered and held onto his hand the second he released her. 

"I need to…" Just before he could explain, the sound of a gun going off rang out as the bullet missed her hand, thanks to Liu Xueyi's good instincts. 

"Where are your guards? This isn't safe. You must go."

The theater slowly began to buzz with murmurs and discussions as security personnel rushed to secure the scene.
