Seeing Mika get up from his seat, the officials who were watching couldn't help but stumble back in fear and look at him with a certain wariness.
The boy himself felt as if he was in the presence of some sort of predator right now and felt shivers all throughout his body.
For a couple of seconds the air grew thick and oppressive, as though an invisible pressure had settled over the hall.
But that feeling only lasted a moment.
The officials quickly remembered that Mika was still just a boy at the end of the day—Nadia's helper, probably chosen for his diplomatic skills.
What could he possibly do against an actual threat like this?
The bomber himself seemed to reach the same conclusion. He let out a manic laugh, head thrown back, voice dripping with mockery.
"Are you crazy, boy? Have you become completely delusional after playing around with these officials?"
He sneered, shaking his head like he was looking at a fool.
