Chapter 287: Kidnapping Nobles (Part 1)
When I took out our wooden masks from my void pocket, I reunited with Melina at the theater’s entrance and put them on.
We needed to hide our identities since other nobles had seen us walking with Mei Ling, so we even changed our outfits back to our usual ponchos to avoid raising any suspicions.
Then, Melina dispelled her seal from the door, and I kicked it open with force, startling everyone inside—it felt as if we were robbing a bank or something.
"Alright, everyone, get on the ground, and you won’t die!" I shouted.
Some nobles took my warning and instantly kneeled, but others were too arrogant to follow orders, even when their lives were being threatened.
Noticing a man standing up straight and looking at us defiantly, I raised a finger and shot a light beam into his shoulder. It wasn’t strong enough to obliterate his arm or anything, but it was enough to bring him to his knees.
After the man received my first warning shot, the others who were still standing followed through with my warning and lowered their heads as they kneeled.
Honestly, I only wanted them to get on the ground like people would do in movies when a bank was getting robbed, but they were kneeling as if we were kings, which was not what I had in mind.
’Whatever, this works...’ I thought.
"Now, you people have been acting quite nasty, so we are here to take all the evil people away!" I shouted, trying to put on an act.
"Where are Mei Ling and Lord Yushan!?" I asked.
