Chapter 560: Reaction

On the surface, this whole situation looked grim with no possible solution or means of resolving the problem.

The entire tavern was shrouded in a deep silence.

Not a single person dared to make the slightest noise.

Even the wind seemed to have come to a halt, and the candle flame no longer flickered.

Everyone abruptly ceased their actions, all for fearing they might somehow break the silence.

Their fear stemmed from knowing that all eyes would immediately turn to the source of any sound.

This marked a distressing and challenging time.

The silence was giving everyone ample space to think over the situation.

For those involved, the situation was beyond bad or good by any conventional measure.

If there happened to be an uprising at this moment...

or if people started acting nonchalantly as though they didn't care at all...

Then maybe the problem could simply evaporate away in the form of laughter.
