It wasn't long before the waiters came back.
However, a large group of brawny men with guns came back with them.
These armed men were clearly divided into two types.
One group wore black masks and combat uniforms. They carried matching gear and moved in a very organized manner. There were about 20 of them.
The other group was made up of almost 100 people of different sorts who carried all types of weapons.
Most of the noise was caused by this second group.
Of course, the upper class in the hall could only see a small number of them at first, but those who sensed that something wasn't right had already started moving toward various exit points.
On the other hand, many of the women who had been brought here as trophy dates didn't react. Someone even exclaimed, "What's wrong? Why did you let these people in? Where are the security guards?"
