Fear gripped his heart.
The unknown is often the most terrifying thing for people.
At that moment, every footstep of Dean Bruce echoed in his ears like the whispers of demons from hell.

Dean Bruce hadn't pulled them up!
Hannah Fields was somewhat comforted; after all, she was Dean Bruce's disciple, and if he gained any benefits, she would have her chance too.
Carol Lane's earlier efforts seemed wasted; she could only look on resentfully as Dean Bruce and the others gradually disappeared into the golden light.
