As Torrey Gandyman issued orders to his subordinates, Gao Yang was also briefing Simon and the others on the latest developments.
"Team two, the agreement we've reached with the enemy leader is that you'll put down your weapons and act as hostages, and then we'll exchange hostages with each other. The decision is in your hands; decide based on the situation. We'll now retreat first to the rooftop and wait for you there."
Simon immediately said, "There's no other way, we'll put down our weapons and act as hostages. Ram, if the situation turns sour, you guys retreat on your own. There's absolutely no need for us all to die here."
Meanwhile, as Simon and Gao Yang spoke, Torrey Gandyman also loudly said, "No, we can't exchange hostages on the rooftop. I demand to go down and exchange in the lobby on the first floor."
