Silence, within the prolonged silence.
Huai Shi held up his hands, Liz looked at him, the others stood frozen in place, while the Paradise Guard shouted their hallelujahs.
It seemed like everyone had a bright future.
After what felt like an eternity, Liz's fingers, which had been resting on the hilt of her sword, finally gripped it firmly, steady and no longer trembling with rage, as if she had regained her calm.
"You think I can't deal with you just like this?"
Liz stared at him, calmly asking, "Or do you think you can continue to make a fool of me?"
"No, no, no, you're wrong, Miss Liz. I would never be so arrogant."
Huai Shi still maintained the standard French pose, hands raised high, a sincere smile on his face. "Of course you have a way to resolve the problem at hand, but what about after that? By tomorrow, news that you refused the surrender of an Inspector from the Astronomical Society and brutally killed him will spread throughout the Current Circumstances."
