Deathly silence.
The Federation was established for hundreds of years, East City was established for hundreds of years, East City Bank was established for hundreds of years; in such long spans of time, this ancient building and bank have almost become one with East City, witnessing countless rises and falls and changes, standing in the heart of every East City person like a fossil.
Yet never in these hundreds of years has anyone dared to pull out a weapon here and say such words...
So much so that, in stunned disbelief, everyone found it almost impossible to react.
Even amidst the rumblings, the scattered, fragmented sounds of countless crystals landing; the people in the hall turned around in confusion, hesitating to speak.
Wanting to ask if this was another flash mob or event, or perhaps a drill?
Including the security guards.
