Chapter 1416: The Battle of the Latent Teeth (32)

"If you don't want to die, everyone stand still for me!" As soon as he stormed the atrium of the mall, one of the leading thugs shouted loudly and fired gunfire in demonstration.

His gunfire and intimidation also rightly drew exclamations from a crowd of people. Most of the people crouched down in fright, lest they be injured by a stray bullet! However, a civilian man in the distance, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, ignored it, probably thinking that he was hiding in a good position and had not yet been discovered by the mob, so he turned around and ran towards a small alleyway to the west of the shopping center. He thought he would be safe as long as he ran into the alleyway and stayed out of range of the thugs.

The hapless man had barely run two yards before the mob in the lead had already raised his gun and fired at him. The leader of the thugs was quite accurate in his marksmanship, and the bullet pierced the man's back and shot out of his chest, and blood splattered everywhere! The sight of the tragic death of the passers-by frightened all the civilians present to cry out in panic.

"I told you to stay where you are and don't move!" the head of the mob didn't think the shot was enough, and walked over and shot the man who had fallen to the ground in the head. With that shot, the man's brain suddenly splattered out, and flew towards Palamides in a little bit, just about to land on Rosetta's clean white clothes. Palamides subconsciously shifted his body, using his shoulder to block the flying dirt.

"Hmph. The leader of the mob then glanced at Palamidas, but when he saw that Palamedis had no intention of running away or resisting, he ignored the leopard man and announced loudly: "Listen! We are combatants of the Egyptian Liberation Movement Association! This mall facility is now under the control of the Association, and you are all our hostages!

Palamides wondered even more. It seems that this group of thugs is not even criminals who rob shopping malls, but more troublesome characters - a group of anti-government elements.

"What?" After listening to the whisper of one of his subordinates in his ear, the leader of the thug snorted, "Okay, bring that kid over and put him with this group of hostages." ＂

Boy, what boy? But he didn't have to guess at all, the thugs had already arrived with a kitten.

It was a cute little boy dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and small shorts. And a little boy with a leopard man. Palamides looked at the child and felt a little familiar, but the child's strange blue-black hair made it impossible for the big cat to be completely sure of the person's identity. However, he knew from the strong smell of hair dye on the other party's body that the hair on the child's body was probably not this strange blue-black originally, but was dyed later.

Unless there is a special need, it is rare for an orc to dye their own hair, as hair dye can irritate the hair and pores, making it itchy all over the body. It is even more impossible for a child to voluntarily dye his hair this color without being coerced. So, this kid must have been a slave of a rich man? Presumably the slave owner thought it was funny and forced the kid to dye his hair?

And isn't this little ghost one of the two young men who were hiding in the fitting room of that clothing store just now? As if asking for help, the boy turned his head to look at Palamides, but was pushed by the thugs and crawled to another corner of the square.

Palamides wanted to do something, but he had a lot of concerns. What he feared most was that his rash actions would anger the mob. It wasn't a big deal for him to deal with the mob alone, or to get out of this place. But he had to take care of Rosetta and the hostages present. If there is a real fight, and the mob kills and injures the people here, the matter will be out of control.

What's more, he was wearing casual clothes that Rosetta had forcibly bought for him. This is a new dress, and it was bought with a woman's money, and it is a high-end brand, and a blouse alone is expensive to death. What if I get into a fight and tear this outfit apart?

Coincidentally, Segrade, who was taken aside, was also worried about the same problem. His children's clothes are too slim, especially the overly cute little shorts, which affect his actions even more. Segrade, who had a weapon on his body, was not afraid of fighting with this group of thugs, he was afraid of breaking his clothes during the fight - and this dress was not bought with his own money, it was bought by Juliet with forced money, if it was damaged, it would be very troublesome in the future.

So, both Palamides and Segrade could only crouch in the corner honestly, and let the mob be presumptuous here. They are not willing to do it casually unless they have to. They only hope that the Egyptian police will do something to repel this group of gangsters.

But they simply did not know that their hopes were simply impossible. The Egyptian government has become extremely corrupt in recent years due to corruption, and their military and police organization is a bunch of waste who can only eat soft rice, and even if the police rush over, they can't help but help at all - Rosetta can't help but smile indifferently, but still maintains a calm and confident face. She looked forward to what was coming next, no matter what Paramidis decided.

"What are you doing standing still, come here!" one of the thugs pointed a gun at Palamides and Rosetta, "Go there and crouch!

The big cat glanced at the Jewel Queen, and Rosetta winked at the big cat, as if to tell Palamides not to act rashly. Without a choice, Palamides and Rosetta walked to the group of hostages and crouched down, pretending to be captured. The gangsters then came and tied the hostages' hands one by one with hemp rope, but the way they tied them was so unprofessional that Palamides was secretly happy when he saw it. He had received considerable military training in the orc army before, and this stupid hemp rope binding only took two seconds for him to be released, and it couldn't tie him up at all.

Segrade was very worried before he was tied up, he is now a child, and he doesn't know how much his physical abilities will decline accordingly. As an adult, he may be able to easily break free from this hemp rope, but now that he is a child, it is difficult to say.

"Huh, this kid has an interesting bracer. The thug in charge of tying Segrade saw the sports bracer on Segrade's left arm and couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "Yo, there's a bracelet hidden underneath." Looks like it's worth a lot of money?"

In order not to be suspected by Juliet, Segrade hid the demon sealing bracelet on his hand with a bracer when he went out (in fact, he put another bracer on the demon sealing bracelet). Because Juliet Luxford's brother, Viscount Rustford, is also one of the candidates for the Round Table Trial, if Juliet is allowed to see this bracer, Segrade's identity will inevitably be instantly recognized.

"Please don't take it, this is my mommy's relic~" Segrade's acting skills are first-class, and he instantly pretended to be pitiful, looking at the thug with teary eyes. In order to prevent his father Palamedis from noticing him, he also deliberately lowered his voice, and raised his vocal cords to speak in a falsetto, pretending to be a teenager (or even younger).

Although the thug seemed to be an unscrupulous anti-government, he was also a man of conscience, and he immediately relented when he saw the child in front of him looking at him with tears on his face. He didn't take the Demon Sealing Bracelet from Segrade's hand, but was just tied up with hemp rope by the hands of the leopard man, and it was quite loosely tied, as if he thought that Segrade was just a harmless little hairy child.

This is also exactly what Segrade wants. This level of bondage is a piece of cake at all, and even a child can easily break free. When there is really a problem, he can also take action to protect himself in an instant.

Just when the father and son were pretending to be obedient on the surface, and secretly plotting how to deal with this group of thugs quietly, the leader of the group of thugs had already picked up the phone and spoke: "Call the Egyptian government, there are a total of 300 hostages in the Cairo shopping mall, and we demand a ransom of 100 million Egyptian dollars, an armored car to transport money, and release the imprisoned Malka chief! You have less than an hour to prepare everything and deliver it to the east exit of the mall." Otherwise, from an hour later, we will kill a hostage every five minutes!"

Is it really for the money. Palamides couldn't help but despise this group of thugs in his heart. Although all this has nothing to do with Palamides. 100 million Egyptian dollars is not a small amount, and even if you are in a hurry to raise money, you will not be able to raise it in an hour. It seems that this group of thugs will definitely kill the hostages present.

When that time comes, Palamides will have to take action, the question is what to do to subdue the thirty-six thugs with guns present at the same time, and prevent them from shooting and injuring people? Without the Demon Sealing Bracelet, Palamides' speed can indeed knock down these miscellaneous soldiers at the same time. But now that he has this Demon Sealing Bracelet, his ability as a leopard man has been greatly reduced, and his speed is not as fast as usual, so it is much more difficult to deal with a large number of miscellaneous soldiers. If it were ordinary civilians, Palamides could still be ruthless and didn't care whether they lived or died, but with Rosetta, the queen of jewels, and even a few children, it was really not good for Mu Ran to make a move.

Just when the big cat was nervous and puzzled, a delicate figure appeared on the balcony on the second floor of the shopping mall.
