The day progressed slowly for each of the three groups. Max and the other Cold Flame Gang members, the ancients, and Bruce and Lidong. Each one of these groups was getting ready to either strike or fight back. Well, Max, CJ, Rin, and Sue had school to attend and Phoenix had ordered all construction to a halt. He didn't know to what extent the whole event was going to be so he didn't want to waste money or endanger the lives of his workers.
Lidong left his building at around midday and joined his guards. Bruce was already at the entrance of Raid Town, waiting for Lidong so that they could execute their plan. The large truck with the cage that carried the Ultimate Dead Mutant was on its way, while the smaller trucks already arrived at the town and even surrounded it with no way to escape.
