Chapter 304: Brothers
Every communication screen displayed the same chaotic footage, accompanied by a roaring, impassioned tide of voices.
The first-floor lobby of the Longteng Medical Building on Dongtu Street had been overrun by the joint forces of the Red Rain Group and the street.
Sid, Yosuke Harato, and the others remained unusually silent.
They watched as the Metropolitan Police Department's defensive line in Longteng Building Square failed to hold back the rioting crowd and outright collapsed. A portion of the riot police and their vehicles had been wiped out; the rest retreated inside the building and fell back to the upper floors.
Even opening fire couldn't stop the mob; instead, it only fueled the street's burning outrage, spreading the riot across the entire district.

All elevators in the building had been shut down, and heavy blast doors had been dropped over the stairwells.
