".....Eukh!"
A gagging sound echoed through the halls of Congress, drawing every eye to the figure who had just stood up.
His gaze was sharp, and his expression was grave.
Standing next to the Emperor of the Verdant Empire, Leon frowned.
'Julien...?'
"Akh—!"
No, more importantly. What was going on?
As Leon turned his attention to the reporter who had just fallen to the ground, the atmosphere turned incredibly tense. The guards were also quick to respond, quickly dashing in Julien's direction and pointing their weapons at him.
"Stop at once!"
"Take a step and we will attack!"
"....."
In just a matter of seconds, he was surrounded from all sides. But in spite of their fast reaction, none of them were able to stop Julien's actions.
This came as a shock to them.
How could he be so fast?
Surrounded from all sides, Julien looked completely unfazed, his eyes still locked on the reporter.
Eventually, his lips parted, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
