Through the smoke, figures began walking in.
In just a few seconds, nearly twenty men stepped through the destroyed wall.
They all wore dark matching jackets.
Each jacket bore the same burning emblem stitched onto the back and many of them had the same tattoo visible along their necks or arms.
Anyone familiar with the city's underworld recognized it instantly... the black Furnace Gang.
At the front of the group walked a man with an expression filled with hatred.
It was none other than Ross.
The moment he stepped into the auditorium, his eyes began scanning the crowd before locking onto West and Aria standing beside him.
Ross's expression twisted instantly as the hatred in his eyes burned like fire.
He walked straight toward the stage while his gang members spread out around the auditorium.
Parents began pulling their children back while teachers froze in place and students whispered in fear.
Nobody dared challenge a gang of awakeners.
