"In other words, once these handcuffs are put on, there's no way to remove them. Simply put, once the people from the Sacred Temple put such handcuffs on them, neither we nor they can undo such a device."
Gong Jie was instantly enraged. "Meaning, the Sacred Temple wanted them dead from the start?!"
"You can say that. The Sacred Temple has never thought of letting the hostages leave alive."
The man frowned. It seemed that this matter was much trickier than he had imagined.
"So, how about this?" Vermillion Bird suggested, "Let's not defuse the handcuffs first. We'll take them back to Hurricane. There are so many people in Hurricane, surely someone can figure out a way to remove them? At that point, assuming we've figured out how to remove the handcuffs, it won't be too late to take them off. In short, the most important thing now is to get the hostages safely away from here."
"That's true, but…"
