When the room once again fell to the pit of silence, Torak spoke rigidly. "Stand up from your seat for anyone who questions me." There was an animosity behind his calm order.
The twenty people on the seat looked at each other while looking puzzled, they were frowning as if sensing a bad premonition from Torak's suggestion.
Eventually there were five people who were brave enough to stand up.
"Mr. Kim, Mr. Yan, Mr. Alden, Mr. Colt and Mr. Dmitri." Torak remarked coldly.
He named the five people who were standing and looking at him. Despite their daring decision, if one gave a closer look, their hands were trembling by the tension that lingered in the air.
The second later that passed without a word from Torak was enough to make them start to regret their choice, but there was no turning back from this situation.
"Anyone else?" Torak skimmed the room, looking for any sign from those people who wanted to defy him.
