Kidnapping Nobles (Part 1)

When I took out our wooden masks from my void pocket, I reunited with Melina at the theater's entrance and put them on.

We needed to hide our identities since other nobles had seen us walking with Mei Ling, so we even changed our outfits back to our usual ponchos to avoid raising any suspicions.

Then, Melina dispelled her seal from the door, and I kicked it open with force, startling everyone inside—it felt as if we were robbing a bank or something.

"Alright, everyone, get on the ground, and you won't die!" I shouted.

Some nobles took my warning and instantly kneeled, but others were too arrogant to follow orders, even when their lives were being threatened.

Noticing a man standing up straight and looking at us defiantly, I raised a finger and shot a light beam into his shoulder. It wasn't strong enough to obliterate his arm or anything, but it was enough to bring him to his knees.
