Too much happened this day, leaving Hafeez's mind completely blank.
He didn't understand why Marshall would incite a riot in the prison.
This Lower City scumbag neither wants them on trial nor ever planned to let them escape from here. Unmoved by temptations, his true intent is unknown.
Hafeez knew people like this are the most terrifying.
Once someone like Marshall gains power...
"Why, Marshall!"
He summoned his courage, interrupting Marshall's negotiation with the prisoners. The explosive demise of a prisoner was still vivid to him, and the others dared not advance rashly.
This was a game played with lives as its stakes.
"Bang—!"
An unexpected gunshot answered Hafeez. He was stunned until his right leg lost support, collapsing onto the ground as the searing pain surged through him, rendering both Hafeez and the gathering prisoners incredulous.
A mere Lower City scumbag had shot mercilessly through the former mayor's knee!
