Intentions

Kieran was quite shocked as he looked at the kneeling J. Pearlman.

The blurred out face kept Kieran from seeing properly, but J. Pearlman's eyes were dull and lifeless, as if his soul was being sucked out. He knelt there helplessly, allowing those outer ring members to scold, insult, and even beat him.

Beside them were four high-rankers with a powerful presence, who stood there and watched it happen. They didn't stop the outer ring members, neither did they join them.

Kieran saw confusion in the high-rankers' eyes.

No doubt the high-rankers, who were also the official members of Freedom Alliance, maintained a sense of rationality. Their clear minds prevented them from taking any impulsive action, thus allowing them to judge J. Pearlman from a fair angle.

When they saw Kieran, the four high-rankers maintained their politeness.
