Chapter 766: Command
Though Yula Ceran usually seemed rather foolish, he realized something was wrong at this moment. Terrified, he pulled the major general beside him in front of himself and screamed as he hid behind him, failing to notice the contemptuous expression on the major general's face.
However, some soldiers and guards who had not been arranged by Bargyll and Mu also drew their weapons and confronted Xiao Ran's people, making the atmosphere throughout the venue even tenser.
Bargyll also stepped onto the podium, took the microphone from the wedding host's hand, and said in her cool voice, "Quiet. Everyone, remain where you are and do not make any movements. Soldiers, guard the exits."
Bargyll's amplified voice drew everyone's attention to her. The old Ceran man pinned to the ground viciously cursed in Bargyll's direction, "Bargyll, what are you doing? Release me at once!"
Bargyll gave Ceran a cold glance but ignored him entirely and walked straight toward Xiao Ran. As she advanced, the chaotic crowd gradually parted and turned their heads. At last, they saw Xiao Ran standing at the entrance to the venue steps. The uniform representing the Supreme Marshal nearly blinded countless people. In all of Orb, only two people could wear that uniform: Cagalli, who had just been taken away by the Freedom Gundam, and Xiao Ran, who had not appeared for two years.
The moment these people saw Xiao Ran, all of them widened their eyes. Some who could not believe what they were seeing rubbed their eyes hard. Once they confirmed that it really was Xiao Ran, many inhaled sharply. Quite a few people in the venue also began to feel guilty, fearful, and anxious. After seeing Xiao Ran, old Ceran stared blankly at the Earth Force representatives before his face turned ashen.
