Outside the Council Pylon, the rioters formed a barricade. After some time, they saw a large group of armored soldiers approaching. In the lead were Wai Kung, Wai Ling, and Zue Du.
"Halt!" Hong Zi told the incoming troops. He and Ha Velet led the rioters out here. Lin Xiaolong accompanied them.
"Out of the way!" Wai Kung exclaimed. "You civilians are violating the rules by gathering here. Return to your home, and we will consider overlooking this transgression. Otherwise, you will all be branded traitors!"
"Hahaha!" Hong Zi laughed. The other rioters laughed with him. Their number far surpassed the troops Wai Kung brought.
"You government dogs think we are afraid?" Hong Zi exclaimed. "You back a tyrant who overthrew our high council, and you dare to call us traitors? You are the real traitors…!"
