During their recent confrontation, Kean had come to the stark realization that he was no match for Jeremy.
Nevertheless, Kean was not one to surrender so easily. He thought that if he gave up now, he would never be able to face Jeremy again with his head held high.
Kean opted for the most ruthless strategy—using Jeremy's friends as leverage against him.
With a sinister grin, he unlatched the miniature prison he held in his hand, releasing Jeremy's three friends from its confines.
Without hesitation, Kean seized Emma and held her in front of him as a human shield. He bellowed in Jeremy's direction, "Drop your weapon immediately, or I will kill her on the spot!"
Kean's actions incited a wave of fury among everyone present.
Benjamin shouted at Kean with palpable anger, "Enough! Stop this madness right now!"
