Viko looked at these fully armed soldiers with some nervousness.
Just moments ago, these soldiers were obeying the officer's commands, ready to riddle him with bullets at any time.
And now, with just a few words, "Suote" made these soldiers immediately lay down their weapons and surrender. Wasn't that a bit too "bold"?
As time passed by, with He Ao's final words falling, no one put down their firearms immediately, but no one tried to advance forward either.
"Sir,"
a soldier among them spoke up, "we were just following orders."
"I've said,"
He Ao swept a calm gaze across all the soldiers' faces, putting away his card, "the Federal Bureau of Investigation will investigate this incident. As of now, I am in charge of the Federation's Federal Bureau of Investigation in Minte City. If any of you still have objections, I can give you time now to demonstrate."
The entire plaza under the archway fell silent in an instant.
