However, not everyone wanted to defend the city for Flamefire; some wanted to leave, others even looked forward to seeing the Blazing Fire Mall fall into ruins.
One commerce guild boss instructed his trusted subordinates, "Once the city breaks, the three of us will leave lightly equipped. With fewer people, we may not draw Mysterious Evil's attention."
There were Awakeners whose pupils flickered with an unusual light.
"If the city falls, we might be able to loot the major mall, and then slip away from Mysterious Evil in the chaos... I know the coordinates of an uninhabited Oasis that might not be attacked by Mysterious Evil."
Mythical beings cast their gaze upon the Blazing Fire Mall from time to time.
Bolizemon mused to himself, "The waves hitting the Blazing Fire Mall are indeed fierce, and Mysterious Evil's recovery abilities are even stronger. If this trend continues, there's a high probability... the mall will be breached!"
