Very slowly, the chief guard took out his weapon and slowly moved towards the civilians, A.K.A, the Hous, the Ghus and everyone else without a gun.
Of course, the guards that came alongside the families also gathered them like precious gems too.
But it was just that when dealing with such forces, they knew their weapons wouldn't do the trick. So they could only wait for the Grandmaster to make his move while also looking around vigilantly, lest something grab them from within the dark.
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
Within his millisecond, the Hous all felt a deep wave of pressure engulf them as their eyes began jumping around uncontrollably.
Where? Where was he? Where was the hidden criminal in the room?
This... This... This...
~Gulp.
The Hous and the other guards swallowed hard as their throat, and even their jaw now seemed as tense and stiff as a rock.
Bloody he! What the devil was going on here?
.
The gang of newbies were still worried that the hidden criminal would somehow shoot them with a sniper or something... But Dorian's following words only made them shriek in uncertainty.
"One person amongst you all is what I'm seeking."
"...One person?" The head guard tensed up even more: "Are you saying that the criminal isn't hiding in the shadows but is one of us?!"
"Hmm... You can put it that way."
Boom!
An explosion went off in everyone's mind, as they now looked at each other deeply, as though wanting to peel open each other's brains and find whoever they're looking for.
Dammit!
Sweat quickly poured off their faces as they now pointed their guns at each other nervously.
Confusion. Turbulent waves of emotions and several chaotic thoughts flashed through their brains.
And soon enough, some people began to doubt others even more. But Dorian didn't get them anymore to think of the matter as he slowly advanced with a calm smile on his face.
At the same time, Old Gia's words also resounded out too: "Everyone, drop your weapons now! If you're truly innocent, then you'll do as told. This will make things go faster! We are not accusing anyone but going through things in an orderly manner. Everyone, including myself, will be subjected to testing. So drop them now!!!"
With that, the Gia men first dropped their weapons on the floor at the left corner of the massive collection of monitors, showing the or stance on the matter.
.
Old Gia knew that if they didn't drop their weapons now, these fools might accidentally fear from dear and kill innocent people at will. So it was paramount that he called them down in any way possible.
What they were looking for wasn't something normal. But so what? Leaving them in the dark until everything got clear was the best choice for now.
And sure enough, because of Old Gia's status as a military personnel, as well as his words, insinuating that they weren't accusing anyone but trying to find clues or find an accomplice, made many calm down.
Now, they could see everyone in their shirts and pants, seeing if they were hiding anything, anywhere.
Now, the only person left with a weapon was Old Gia.
2 minutes. It only took two minutes for everyone to act swiftly as though they had ants in their pants.
And after receiving the ins of weapons and clothes, Old Gia finally turned towards Dorian calmly.
"Grandmaster. Please... You may now proceed."
"Hmm..."
With that, Dorian slowly opened his eyes as though he were waking up.
And now, seeing him calmly advance, everyone else became mighty curious and anxious at the same time.
Old Hou looked at Dorian deeply: "Old friend... Why do you trust this kid so much without question?"
Yes... Why does he?
Everyone waited for Old Gia's response, only to see him smile bitterly with a hint of helplessness in his expression: "You all should be wondering why I trust him so much. But have you also pondered on why the Ghus also trust him so much?"
Swish!
Now, everyone stared at the Ghus.
Explain yourselves! Why do you care about such a brat so much?
Ghu Slota suddenly grinned broadly: "Why? Because he's my future master!"
"_"
.
Future master?
Blink. Blink.
Now, they were even more confused than where they started off. What the hell was this Ghu boy talking about?
Jung Hou stared at Dorian with a sharp glint in his eyes: "Grandpa Gia... It's him, isn't it... It's because of him that she turned out well, am I right?!"
Him?
The other Hous were suddenly taken aback, thinking this was all some joke. But Old Gia's following response not only shocked them but made them look at Dorian in an even more frightening light.
"Hmmm... He's the one."
Boom!
They stared at Dorian and now understood something.
"Old Friend... Is this why you and the Ghus call him Grandmaster?... Is it because he's a genius godly doctor?"
This time, Wei Gia was the one to let out a slight chuckle: "Godly Doctor?... Well, you could say that. But no... That isn't the reason why he's called a Grandmaster. As for what you want to know, I suggest you brace yourselves for what's about to come. Because from the looks of things, it looks like the Grandmaster has found his target... Everyone, get back!!!"
Boom!!!
