649 A brief moment of calm

The first wave of danger that came after nightfall had passed. Ren Xiaosu stood in the lot of Hope Media, a little tired.

The masterminds' original plan was probably to create chaos so they could attract the attention of the garrison troops and the Riders. After that, they would descend on this place to take down Hope Media in one fell swoop.

Due to the importance of Hope Media, it would be enough to pin down the Riders for a while.

This way, they could carry out the next step of their plan. That would leave the garrison troops and the Riders with no time to catch a breather.

But the other party probably did not expect their plans would fall into disarray at such a time. Not only did they fail to seize control of Hope Media, but they even activated the other two groups of thugs to try and kill Ren Xiaosu by overwhelming him.
