Chapter 1506: The Lord’s Arrival (3)
His eyes glimmered with a turning light. He made a sudden gesture to the people behind. He still had a group of loyal myrmidons covering his back behind him. In a flash, they lunged toward the convicts on the steel pole!
Those convicts each had a time bomb on their bodies; just a single jerk on the wires coiled around them would set off the detonation.

Di Fuyi sneered coldly, "Wanting to leave just before the show is getting started? Do you think it’ll be that easy?!"
