Have a seat

"It's about to begin, what a rare spectacle!" Litt tilted his head, looking at the towering stage before him. Bazel chimed in, "It's truly impressive. Come to think of it, I've never seen such a grand performance before."

Ivanor, on the other hand, didn't respond at all, but instead asked Aili beside her with concern, "Aili-chan, what's wrong? You look unhappy. You can tell me what's bothering you."

Aili reached out and brushed away Ivanor's hand that was trying to touch her, looking preoccupied.

At that moment, a Marley Guards carrying Rifle approached and said, "Gentlemen of the Warrior Unit, Captain Magath requests your presence. Please come with us."

Upon hearing this, Litt and Bazel exchanged a glance, then decisively got up and left with the Soldiers, followed by Ivanor and Aili.

But as soon as Aili got up, she looked around at her surroundings.

"Report to Captain Magath! The Titan Warriors have been successfully separated. The Winged Titan and the Fortress Titan have been taken to Sector A, while the Paladin Titan and the Sea-Swimming Titan have been taken to Sector B!" On a high platform hundreds of meters away from the stage set up by Willy Tybur, Magath listened to his subordinate's report through binoculars.

Is there still no news about Newt, the Red Fire Titan?

"The reserve team has also been dispatched to search, but the Red Fire Titan has not yet been found."

"Are Zeke and the others in position?"

"The Zeke War Chief has also sent a signal that preparations are complete!"

Magath's gaze remained calm. "Very well, then let's just wait for the show to begin!"

But will things really go as smoothly as Magath predicted?

"Gentlemen, Captain Magath's orders are for you to stay in this room and await further instructions. Any objections?" The Marley Soldiers, carrying a gun, coldly pointed to a dark room and said.

"No objection, of course no objection." Baze smiled with narrowed eyes, then pulled the silent Litt into the small dark room.

The Marley Soldiers glanced around and saw that dozens of barrels of high explosives had been secretly planted around the house, while the Beast Titan Zeke and the Armored Titan Reiner were on high alert not far away.

Click. Zeke flicked open his lighter, lit a cigarette, glanced at his recently replaced watch, estimated the time, and then turned to Reiner, saying, "Oh, Reiner, I have some personal business to attend to. I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, without waiting for Reiner's reaction, Zeke turned and left on his own.

Reiner was taken aback. "War Chief?? What do you mean??"

But Zeke had already disappeared into the Alley.

Just as Reiner was at a loss, Zofia appeared beside Reiner without him noticing, tugging at Reiner sleeve. Still not quite understanding what was happening, Reiner asked, somewhat bewildered, "Zofia? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"

Zofia looked up. "Brother Reiner, someone wants to see you."

Reiner was completely bewildered. "See me? Who wants to see me? Colt?"

Zofia shook her head, then said a name, "It's Yago, Yago Norman wants to see you."

A buzzing sound seemed to fill Reiner's brain. His eyes widened in horror, and he frantically grabbed Zofia's shoulders, shouting, "Who? Zofia, how do you know that name? How is this possible? Yago? How could he be here!? This can't be!"

Suddenly, Reiner recalled that Pieck had mentioned seeing Yago in the Military Camp. Reiner had initially thought Pieck was joking, but now...

Without hesitation, Reiner immediately abandoned his task and left with Zofia. He dared not delay, because he did not know what Yago would do, and his family was still in the venue.

"Porco, do you believe me?" Pieck suddenly asked Porco beside him, squatting on the high platform.

Porco: "Pieck, what do you mean by this?"

Pieck pressed on, asking, "Do you believe me?"

Porco nodded somewhat suspiciously; Pieck was still very trustworthy.

Pieck breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Porco's affirmative answer, and then revealed his true feelings, "Porco, tonight will definitely not be peaceful. A storm is about to break out in the Liberio Internment Zone. I'm certain that War Chief Zeke has betrayed Marley..."

Porco stared in disbelief, "What?!?!"

Meanwhile, in the direction that Pieck and Porco were watching, Aili and Ivanor had also been effectively placed under house arrest by Marley Soldiers, with dozens of Anti-Titan Cannon already aimed at them in the shadows.

Aili was preoccupied, while Ivanor was indifferent, only wanting to be close to Aili.

On the erected stands, Calvi and the high-ranking officers of the Marley military had already taken their seats. Next to them were the representatives of the Marley nobility. Ebson sat in the very center, smiling as he looked around at the people. He noticed that they were all old Marley Nobility, many of whom still held some power in the Marley.

Ebson remained calm and continued to talk naturally with the people around him, but his eyes glanced at the Marley Warrior Unit's stands. When he saw Litt and Bazel being taken away, Ebson knew what was going on.

Bill sat with Ebson, but the pungent smell of cheap Tobacco on Bill disgusted the surrounding Marley Nobility. However, out of respect for Ebson's status, the Nobility dared not say anything.

He looked at the towering stage before him, "Tybur? Do you even have that kind of presence?"

Not far from Ebson, a figure sat quietly in the stands, her face veiled by a black veil, but her figure revealed her to be a woman.

The face behind the veil was none other than Lara Tybur, the War Hammer Titan, who mingled among the Marley Nobility, quietly watching Ebson alone.

Zofia led Reiner around in a maze of left and right, and soon they arrived at a house behind the stage, where they went inside and came to a room on the ground floor.

With a nervous heart, Reiner opened the door and entered the room, where he was greeted by Yago, who was sitting with his legs crossed, smiling and watching him.

Although it had been years since they last met, Reiner couldn't forget Yago's face, and the sight of the men bound and lying behind Yago made Reiner panic. "Colt! Falco! Udo! Gabi! Yago, what have you done to them?!"

Yago smiled and said, "Don't get excited, Reiner, they're alright."

Reiner calmed down a bit after hearing that Gabi and the others were alright.

Yago stroked his chin, somewhat wistfully, "Reiner, it's been a long time."

Reiner looked at Yago, then suddenly sighed dejectedly and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's been a long time, Yago. I never expected to see you here."

Just as Yago was about to say something, a burst of loud music suddenly came from outside the room. The show was about to begin.

Yago snapped out of his daze, looked at Reiner, and then pointed to the chair that had been prepared in front of him, saying, "Reiner, please sit down. Let's have a good talk."
