Just like what Hugo expected, everything fell into chaos afterward. He was thankful that he was able to let go of his family and Abigail before everything happened.
He chose to remain silent in his chair. He was observing everything, trying to prepare himself if worse comes to happen.
He could have gone away and leave all of them, but he just couldn't do so. He knew that if he did, then all the people inside will be in a dangerous position.
If Julius really turned into a madman, then he will not hesitate to do something that will be harmful to everyone.
The video presented on the screen suddenly stopped. He looked at his watch and saw that it took them 15 minutes to find the person that he locked in that storage room.
It was faster than what he expected.
Julius's men really don't disappoint.
Damien, who was looking at what was happening couldn't help but stand up so he could put sense in Julius's mind. He thought that it was a great opportunity for his name to bloom in public.
"Julius let's stop this. If you really are innocent of what you were doing, then we will believe you." He tried to calm him down.
However, Julius just shook his head, doubting whether to believe Damien or not.
He had calmed down a little bit, but he was still wary of his surroundings.
Noah, who couldn't take what was happening stood up. He looked at Julius beyond belief. His mouth was partially open.
All the things that could be seen in the video were related to his company. The money that he slandered and all the things that he was doing beside their back. His limbs were shaking at so much angriness that he was feeling right now.
He went to the stage, his feet marching. It created a loud sound as everyone fell into silence.
A deafening silence that even Hugo suddenly got anxious because of it.
*Boogsh
Julius fell to the ground. Blood started to come out of his nose. However, he just stayed there as if it was nothing to him.
He grinned as he looked at Noah.
"You dare punch me when you have done a worse thing than me?" He unbelievably stared at Noah. He glanced over to the crowd and stared at Damien.
"Even Damien hasn't said anything when he already knew what I was doing behind your back!"
Damien stood up furiously when he heard his name being mentioned out.
"YOU INGRATE!" His hands trembled as he pointed towards Julius's direction.
Julius scoffed as he laughed out loud.
"IF I WILL GO DOWN THEN SO ARE ALL OF YOU!" He shouted out loud.
Damien was livid. His chest grew wider. His breathing turned ragged.
Julius' grin became wider. He took out a remote control out of his pocket, showing it to everyone.
"Do you all know what this is?" He asked as if his mind had completely turned crazy.
Hugo's eyes widened when he saw what it was. ''Isn't that…'
When Julius pressed the red button in the middle, the whole venue started to get locked. People wearing uniforms entered the whole venue, one by one. They surrounded each corner of the place.
Everyone panicked when they saw it. Their eyes were wide open when all the uniformed men started revealing the guns in their hands.
"AHHH!"
The people tried running away, but the guards quickly stopped them.
Their efforts were all put in vain, since all the possible exits that they could use had been closed down.
Hugo looked at the back to check whether the fire exit has been locked. When he saw that it wasn't a breath of relief escaped from his mouth.
He looked back at Julius and saw that he took out a gun from his pocket too, pointing it at the people who tried running away.
"QUIET!" Julius shouted out loud. He aimed the gun at the ceiling and fired three bullets causing everyone to fall into panic.
But they couldn't do anything but not make a sound. They were scared that if ever they did, then the bullets from Julius' gun would go immediately to their body.
When Hugo saw that Julius was has turned his direction towards Noah and Damien, he knelt to the ground. He tried to reach the fire exit door which no one was guarding, since there were no people around it.
The guards focused on guarding the two main doors in the middle.
A few number of people started to notice where Hugo was heading.
Hugo nodded, signaling for them to follow him silently. He silently opened the fire exit. Just enough to fit a person without being noticed by other people.
However, because Hugo was on the floor and only a few people have noticed him, he only managed to save a number of people, making them exit.
"Call for help." He silently reminded the last man in the door.
The man nodded as he sprinted his way outside. Hugo teleported right under his table after. He went out and saw that in just a few minutes, everything has abruptly changed.
Even the reporters who were now live streaming what was happening couldn't do anything but plead to the viewers to send reinforcements to help them.
Julius looked at them with a mischievous smile. The look on his face changed.
He looked like a madman on the stage. His hair was disheveled to the side. With spots of blood evident on it because of the punch that Noah had given him earlier.
"I already knew that Rome wasn't going to leave me alone!" He shouted out loud.
He fired two gunshots again at the ceiling. It hit a chandelier on the side causing it to fall and for everyone to panic again.
Hugo couldn't stand still and watched people get hurt because of the glass shards that were falling from the chandelier.
He shut his eyes tightly.
And before the chandelier could even fall to the ground, he stopped the time to save them.
