Miles Harrington looked at the motionless crowd, unable to stop the twitching at his temple.
What does this mean?
Since when did Seraphina Redgrave command the ceasefire in a gun battle?
"Retreat."
Seraphina Redgrave shouted once more.
Yet neither The Directorate, nor Miles Harrington nor The Directorate understood what this meant.
Only Hector Shaw, upon hearing these words, fell silent. He looked at Seraphina Redgrave, tightly gazing for a few seconds. It was uncertain what emotion lay behind the sunglasses, but ultimately, he obediently instructed his subordinates, "Retreat!"
Once the order was given, all the masked and sunglasses-wearing men retreated in an organized manner.
Hector Shaw still led at the front, vigilant of others, pausing momentarily when passing by Ethan Sterling.
He looked at this somewhat disheveled yet still imposing man.
