At Lick's command, the Rebel Army soldiers blocking the passage entrance stepped aside, allowing them to retreat the way they came.
"Liang He, I've done what I promised. Now it's your turn to fulfill yours." Lick counted the people, ensuring no extra individuals slipped away in the confusion. Once the designated group had left, he spoke again, demanding Liang He come over to his side.
"Of course. I keep my word." Liang He casually shot a glance at Leila before walking toward Lick. Elias followed silently behind her, clearly intending to stick with her no matter what.
"Stop right there!"
Whether it was because Liang He was being too obedient or Elias's presence was too oppressive, Lick hastily called for them to halt. He pulled out a pair of handcuffs from who knows where and tossed them to Liang He.
"Handcuff yourself behind your back!"
