Back at the event centre for the Silver Star Exhibition Show, things had taken a different turn.
Originally, the explosion from earlier had sounded from afar and while it spooked the crowd a bit, they weren't overtly worried. However, after a few minutes following the Mertens group's departure, another explosion reverberated in the area; this time around, it was much closer to the venue of the event.
With the risk rating rising high due to the proximity of the attack, the crowd of guests became paranoid and agitated.
Meanwhile, a few kilometres outside of the event hall, Noah was confronting a mysterious individual.
"You're one of them." Noah said as he stared at the man before him.
Just like the character Lucas and Russell's group met at the hideout, the man who stood before Noah wore a mask. However, the mask didn't shield the entirety of his face, but only the lower half. This made it possible for Noah to identify his gender and some of his facial features.
