Meanwhile, before more reinforcements arrived, they had already locked the conference room doors.
Despite there being only two assailants left, the automatic rifles they held were so intimidating that they easily subdued everyone present.

However, even after obtaining it, they seemed unsatisfied and began to rob the possessions of those present!
Rick shook his head at such behavior; he really wanted to say, "You’re being really unprofessional here."
