Chapter 568 : Random Scene 44

Almost every hostage looked deathly pale. Realizing this mob leader wasn't just bluffing. The hostages looked at each other. Those crazy mobs were serious about their threat. If the law enforcer is not flexible and impatient, these hostages could lose their lives.

Kaneuma whispered something into the ear of one of his men. After that, he walked out of the room. He went upstairs. The subordinates who received Kaneuma's whisper then also left the room. He goes inside. Maybe he headed to the kitchen or checked the back door.

When Kaneuma communicated with Kiushi, it turned out that the gang members did not remain silent. They continued to work as Kaneuma had instructed. They forced the people they had brought from the kitchen to stand next to several tables in the room. Akimasa calculated that twelve people, not including Gonda, were brought out of the kitchen.

After plastering the mouths of the Shinkankyo workers with duct tape, the gang members put ski masks on the poor people's heads. They also attached small bombs and timers behind the backs of the twelve. Not satisfied with that, they then forced the people to stand in certain positions.

Everyone stands at the edge of a table. So there seemed to be twelve people standing next to the twelve tables. The mob ordered the men to stand facing the entrance. After that, the invaders whispered something into the people's ears. Akimasa concludes that this raiding horde is preparing these people as their surrogates. Apparently, they were planning to run away. They tried to outwit the officers by installing fake criminals in the room.

Akimasa didn't know in what way these criminals would escape. He also did not know what charges they made against the police. Apparently, they had said earlier when Akimasa was still locked in the kitchen on the ground floor of this restaurant.

After they finished preparing the fake criminals, they just stood there. They didn't say anything. The silence made the atmosphere even eerier. It seemed they were waiting for Kaneuma's return before making their next move.
