Eleven, Twelve, and the others were squeezed by the crowd and couldn’t move. They didn’t dare push people, fearing that they might hurt the masses. After all, these people were not ordinary individuals; they were the distinguished sons and daughters of the upper class.

Edgar’s face immediately turned dark.

Suppressing the urge to turn around and beat Eric, he calmly gave orders, “Nancy ran towards the
