They might have had a chance to escape if they had realized the audience was not real earlier, but they had now fallen into a trap which their enemies had planned so thoroughly. It was unlikely that their enemies would hesitate to proceed with their plan!

Sancha looked around her and noticed the audience was not surprised by the conductor's reckless behavior. They all rose to their feet and looked at her instead.

"They bought out every ticket for the concert and waited for you to take the bait. Everyone here is their people… no wonder they didn't notice the errors. They weren't here for the concert; they were here for you," Zhao Manyan stated grimly.

These people had planned a lot to kidnap the daughter of someone who might influence the decision of establishing the Andes Federation.

They had organized a high-class concert and disguised themselves as the guests. Zhao Manyan somehow felt like the hundred thousand he had spent on the ticket was well worth it!

The only problem was that he was just trying to approach Sancha to find out what the Black Vatican wanted from her. On the other hand, he was also trying to take some revenge on Zhao Youqian. He did not expect to be involved in such a mess!

"Miss Sancha, we didn't have a choice either. We have nowhere to go once the Andes Federation is established," The conductor stepped closer.

"So you decided to kidnap me to blackmail my father?" Sancha snarled.

"It's just an option. Just think of yourself as Chile's goddess. You can lend us a hand and save us all," the conductor replied evenly.

"Not going to happen. You are trying to hold on to your power out of greed. You can only blame yourself for it," Sancha said stiffly.

"Then I guess we don't have a choice. I hope you will like the concert we have prepared for you," the conductor said coldly. "Do it; leave Miss Sancha alive and kill the other!"

Zhao Manyan's eyes widened when he heard those words.

What the heck was going on? He was just a passerby. If they felt like he was a nuisance, he could just leave on his own and pretend nothing had happened. Why did they have to silence him?

"I'm sorry for involving you in this mess," Sancha told Zhao Manyan apologetically.

"Now is not really the time for it, but I think the man is right. They are the martyrs of a revolution. They will be charged with treason if they lose. Why don't you give them a chance?" Zhao Manyan said.

"They won't let me leave even if I agreed to their condition. They will continue to blackmail my father as long as I'm alive," Sancha said.

"Being alive isn't that bad," Zhao Manyan had to say.

Sancha shook her head. She did not want to cause more unrest in South America!

"(Sigh), guess I don't have a choice either," Zhao Manyan shook his head helplessly when he saw Sancha was unwilling to change her mind. "I can keep them at bay for a while. I bet someone as important as you will have bodyguards nearby. I can hold on until they arrive."

"There are so many of them. How are you going to last until they arrive?" Sancha asked.

"Stop worrying so much. Just call for backup. We are in the middle of the city. They won't be able to cover up the presence of their magic even if they have occupied the entire venue," Zhao Manyan ordered her.

Sancha was hoping Zhao Manyan would run away on his own. These people had come for her. Zhao Manyan should be able to protect himself.

However, Zhao Manyan did not run away, and remained by her side. The people in the hall began Channeling their spells, like hundreds of battle horns pouring at them from all directions. Sancha felt like she was going to suffocate under the pressure.

"Moon Shell!"

It was a piece of magic Equipment which could provide him with the energy to Cast a Super Light Spell. Zhao Manyan knew the conductor would not give him a chance to construct a Star Palace, so he activated the Tool right away.

The magic Equipment immediately supplied Zhao Manyan with an enormous amount of energy so he could Cast a Super Spell!

A bright light burst out of the Moon Shell and enclosed the area Zhao Manyan and Sancha were standing in.

There were sparkles across the place. The luxurious decorations in the concert hall shattered into pieces, and the comfortable sofas were no exception. Even the stairs leading to the seats had collapsed!

"Control your magic!" the conductor instructed his men.

He did not want Sancha to end up dead in the blast. Otherwise, not only would they fail to earn her father's support, he would do everything to avenge his daughter!

However, the conductor saw that Zhao Manyan and Sancha were perfectly unharmed after the smoke cleared. A silver Light had encapsulated them. The Light had dimmed, with some cracks around it, yet not a single spell had managed to penetrate it.

"Is the Light he Summoned made of steel? Keep attacking!" the conductor commanded anxiously.

More Star Constellations appeared across the hall. Their light was brighter than the lighting in the hall. The whole place began to shake vigorously, yet the people on the Central Plaza were not surprised, since the hall shook whenever the drums were rolling during a concert!

"Control your magic!" the conductor reminded them when he noticed the hall shaking so violently.

They were currently at the center of the city. The Auras of their magic were going to attract the attention of nearby Mages. They would have a hard time leaving if Mages responsible for policing the city arrived.

Around a hundred of the Mages established barriers along the walls of the hall to prevent the building from collapsing.

A huge cloud of smoke rose following the blasts. Many of them thought the man and the woman had evaporated in the middle of the blasts. They might not even find their corpses!

To their surprise, a blue barrier gradually appeared to them. The man and woman were standing close to one another inside it, perfectly unharmed!

The Mages almost lost their minds.

Did they fire their spells into space or something? How did the two not even have a single bruise?

"Damn it, who are you? Why are you interfering with our business?" the conductor snarled.

"I'm a lecturer at the Aorus Sacred Institute!" Zhao Manyan replied forthrightly.

"I don't care who you are. You should leave at once! Those who oppose us never have a good ending!" the conductor yelled.

"F**k me, weren't you the one who asked who I am?" Zhao Manyan lost his temper. "You were threatening to silence me permanently just a moment ago, and now you are asking me to leave? Are you treating me like a dog you can ask to come and go as you please? I've decided, I'm not leaving! Let's see what you are going to do to me!" Zhao Manyan shouted right back.
