Chapter 322: Acting Skills
To Saaya, Karoso was like a ticking time bomb.
It was fine when he was around, but when he’s gone, there must be a problem!
Now that things are chaotic everywhere, Saaya didn’t dare to move carelessly.
"Everyone, please calm down!"
Jeff quickly found his spot and activated the calming magic circle. "Please don’t keep fighting. Everyone should leave in an orderly manner, leave in an orderly manner!"
His voice was like magic, and the people who were fighting began to quiet down.
In addition, everyone’s magic was somewhat suppressed.
The summoned followers began to fade away, one by one.
Rat-tat-tat…
Footsteps sounded, emergency lights turned on one by one, and teams of people in black rushed into the hall.
However, their numbers varied, and it was clear that many had died.
The fact that they could still keep this fighting strength at this time shows why they are called the Corleone family.
Unfortunately, this was a carefully planned rescue operation, and also an attack from several forces against the Corleone family.
Bang, bang, bang…
When the men in black entered the auction house hall, some of them quickly picked up guns and started shooting at the emergency lights.
In an instant, many light bulbs exploded.
"What is happening?"
"Thor, are you crazy?"
"Stop it now!"
The men in black began to fight among themselves.
Many bullets flew towards the guests, causing the once quiet crowd to become chaotic again.
Boom!
A loud crashing sound was heard as the auction house doors closed, and not only that, but the other passages, except for one hallway, were also blocked by heavy metal doors.
"Is the exit locked?"
"There is a conspiracy!"
"Darn it, let me out first!"
"Don’t push me!"
"Oh no, my hand! Is that Henry trying to kill me? Quick, protect me!"
"Why can we only bring one guard? I suspect he wants to harm us!"
"Wasn’t it said that the auction house’s defenses can never be broken?"
The chaos is worse than before; the scene that was finally stable has become messy again.
Especially after the door closed, everyone felt even less safe.
Only one path was left, and the competition for this path would become even fiercer.
Rio sat calmly in his VIP booth, silently watching the chaos in front of him.
"Young Master, aren’t you going to help?" a man in black said to Rio.
"This is my dear uncle’s place. If I go and accidentally make a mess, he will blame everything on me," Rio took a sip of the red wine in his glass and quietly watched as some nobles were even killed on the spot. "I believe my dear uncle will handle it."
"But, Young Master, many of those people were invited by you…"
"Hmm?" Rio glanced coldly at the man in black. "I didn’t invite them; they came because of Uncle York’s influence."
As he spoke, he pulled out a blueprint from his pocket and murmured, "Uncle’s emergency plan has two more parts than I knew; he’s always been prepared for me."
"Young Master, many of the people down there are your friends…" the man in black tried to persuade him again.
"Do you know who the dead nobles are?" Rio retorted.
"I… don’t know." The man in black shook his head.
"A useless person without any ability, even not valued in the family. Otherwise, at least they would have one or two extraordinary items to protect themselves." Rio sneered, "Do you see anyone I’ve personally greeted in trouble?"
……
Jeff instinctively wanted to strengthen the magic circle and then find a way to suppress it.
Although this might hurt some lower-level guests, it had to be done.
Boom!
At that moment, another loud explosion was heard, and a figure crashed onto the control panel in front of Jeff.
Bang!
The control panel was smashed to pieces on the spot.
Just as Jeff was about to make a move, he looked down and was shocked.
Is this… Princess Aileen?
Aileen held a long sword in her hand, watching the distance with caution, "There are bombs underground here!"
"No way!" Jeff shouted instinctively.
All the explosions that have happened so far were not caused by firearms; the firearms were suppressed from the very beginning.
The explosions happening now are caused by someone taking advantage of the chaos to damage the magic circle, making it go out of control, as well as effects from cards.
However, with the flashing lights, it was hard to see clearly, so misunderstandings were normal.
"Everyone, listen to me, please return to your places; our people will keep you safe!" Jeff shouted. "Every seat has a protective magic circle, and it will be restored soon!"
"Don’t run around, don’t run around!"
"Your Highness, trust me, we will protect you…"
"Uncle Breteuil, Kyle…" Aileen shouted, "Come to my side! All the nobles of the Pande Empire, gather here! I just saw Count Arno get killed. We must unite as an empire, or we might not survive!"
"Whether we fight our way out or protect ourselves, we must stand together!"
"Don’t forget, we are people of The Kingdom of Knights!"
Those mentioned by Aileen seemed to find a strong leader in that moment.
They also knew that unity was the best situation, but most of them held equal status and did not want to follow anyone. However, Aileen, by her position, was definitely the highest and the true royal.
Soon, those people gathered towards Aileen’s direction.
On the way, many were stopped during the gathering, and no one did anything. But once they came together, no one could stop them.
Aileen didn’t even glance at those who were stopped.
She felt that those who remained indifferent at the auction were all on her list for cleaning up.
To be honest, if someone like Aileen becomes a ruler in the future, it would definitely be a disaster, because she finds it hard to tolerate even the smallest flaws.
A perfectly clear water has no fish; the perfection she desires does not exist.
However, ordinary people would surely hope for such a fair king.
"Your Highness, please don’t do this!" Jeff exclaimed in shock as he saw Aileen wanting to lead everyone to attack.
At this moment, their rush out was destroying the emergency plan he had set up!
Damn, why is there still one door open? If we’re closing it, let’s close them all! It would be easier to handle!
"I don’t believe you!"
Aileen took a step back, pointing her sword directly at Jeff.
Behind her, more than ten nobles and guards had followed. Laria and the others had the home advantage and had the largest number.
Jeff felt hopeless. If it weren’t for that dark elf and Celica, things would be easier, but these two had a lot of power, and many emergency plans were ruined by them.
Damn it, this won’t end well. It’s better to offend them than to kill them!
"Everyone, suppress them!"
