As Jilan pondered this, he searched for the way to the venue. Before long, he found the emergency exit leading to the second floor. After seeing people in black combat suits, wearing gas masks and holding guns guarding the venue entrance, he did not linger on that floor but instead walked up to the third floor without stopping.

Guns? If it were terrorists from outside the island attempting to infiltrate, they would definitely be detected at customs. Not to mention guns, even common cold weapons like steel pipes would be impossible to bring in.

So how could these terrorists possibly have guns?

There was only one possibility: they had taken it from a warehouse storing equipment belonging to the island's Self-Defense Forces. Jilan compared the equipment of the security team she had seen at the customs inspection point and quickly noticed several differences: the gas masks were different styles, the zippers on their clothes were different, and the guns were different models. Moreover, Jilan noticed that these terrorists did not have military insignia or badges indicating their affiliation on their shoulders.

Jilan noticed that the customs inspection team's badges were black shields with gold patterns along the edges.

This is an outdated model, probably stored in a sparsely populated warehouse. All public facilities on the island are electronically locked, so the inside man with the highest authority could easily open the warehouse door and arm these terrorists. Perhaps he was the one who led them into the tower that requires an invitation to enter.

After all, aside from Jilan, who treats these security guards and self-defense forces as hidden enemies all day long, probably not many people would notice that their equipment is different. Even if some Pro Hero do notice it, these outsiders wouldn't understand the island's defense measures and would just assume it's just a difference in numbers. The researchers attending the party are focused on their research all day and wouldn't pay attention to these things either.

In other words, this is a "venue-limited" trick that is only effective when most of the people are outsiders and the rest are people who lack common sense.

If even one person with sound thinking and common sense were present, this scheme would not have worked. Both the terrorists and the researcher who acted as an inside agent would have been arrested and brought to justice.

That researcher was fully aware of the risks, yet he resolutely chose to carry them out. Just how much conviction did he have?

Inside the venue.

Five minutes ago.

The situation is basically the same as Jilan's reasoning.

Some of the Pro Hero were bound by security restraint devices that suddenly popped up inside the venue. Although All Might could easily break free from these devices with a little effort, the ordinary guests in front of him were held hostage by several terrorists who rushed into the venue and pointed guns at them, forcing All Might to submit.

The Pro Hero's eyes blazed with fury. The criminals they could usually handle with ease were now swaggering around in front of them, even kicking them contemptuously a few times. But they could only watch helplessly, unable to fight back.

To get a clear view of the entire venue, the guests, with guns pointed at them by terrorists, all crouched on the ground with their hands behind their heads, trembling with fear. After all, even the mighty All Might was now immobilized; who could save them?

If Homelander were still alive, that would be great. He has the ability to fly and penetrate the earth, and his eyes can Scan and see through things and emit lasers. With the two strongest people in the world working together, how could these terrorists have any room to be arrogant!

Unfortunately, Homelander left after dealing with the shipwreck, leaving only the Deep, who was in charge of the aftermath, and Starlight, who was transferred to handle security, on the island. Putting aside Starlight, who had just joined the "The Seven," The Deep was even less capable than the average superhero on land, so he was just a sitting duck here.

Who can save us?! The guests closed their eyes and began to pray to God.

At the foot of a table, a balding middle-aged man, his hands covering his head, asked in a flustered whisper to the elderly gentleman with gray hair squatting beside him, "Mr. Adams, you clearly noticed the suspicious nature of these armed guards when you entered. Why didn't you tell All Might or any other Pro Hero? That way, we wouldn't be in this predicament!"

"Shh." Adams made a shushing gesture and smiled. "For a detective, knowing the truth is always more important than uncovering lies. Besides, don't you think this situation is actually quite interesting? I'd love to see who can break the deadlock."

As a renowned detective Adams naturally noticed what Jilan was guessing. However, he casually mentioned his discovery to the manager of a famous Japan consumer goods company beside him without making a fuss. Moreover, he knew more about the facts than Jilan did and had already guessed who the inside man was from various clues.

At this moment, the terrifying figure with deep red hair and a steel mask covering his face appeared.

The molecule approached a researcher, looking down at him as he fell to the ground. "You're the researcher, aren't you? Take me away."

Dressed in a sharp suit, David Shield, All Might's former assistant and now one of the island's top researchers, showed no fear of the group of enemies and spoke up to them, "He's my assistant, what do you want to do to him!"

The leader turned around and chuckled dryly, "Oh, isn't this Dr. David? You're far more valuable than him; you're coming with us too."

"What if I say no?" Dr. David replied calmly, his eyes gleaming with courage.

"My U.A. High School: Jilan Jiyu"

These terrorists not only seized control of the Central Tower, but also used the island's security robots to control the crowds still in the streets, threatening All Might and the others that if they made any unusual movements, they would control the robots to attack the civilians.

"I understand, I'll go with you." Dr. David nodded helplessly.

Watching the two researchers leave with the leader, Adams chuckled, "To avoid your efforts being wasted, I'll remain silent."

"Mr. Adams, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"My U.A. High School: Jilan Jiyu"

In another corner of the venue, Inasa Yoarashi and Camie Utsushimi were also crouching on the ground with their hands behind their heads.

The champion of U.A. High School's Sports Festival was invited, and naturally, Shiketsu High School's new generation's number one Inasa Yoarashi, was also invited. Although he was somewhat reluctant to attend this kind of restrictive banquet, he was still dragged along by Camie Utsushimi, who threw him a suit.

Camie Utsushimi was also helpless. If the principal hadn't asked her to keep an eye on Inasa Yoarashi, she would have gone to find Jilan long ago.

None of them intended to socialize, so they stayed in a corner of the venue. After the unexpected guests took control of the venue, they did not resist and obediently squatted down.

But then, seeing one of the terrorists step on All Might, Inasa Yoarashi's eyes filled with rage, and he couldn't help but want to rush forward.

"That despicable guy, how dare he step on All Might! He must be punished!"

Camie Utsushimi stopped him. She was wearing a black, collarless dress and didn't look like a student, but rather Quirk, mature woman. However, at this moment, she was resting her face on her hand, revealing a side completely different from her mature appearance.

Different expressions of exasperation.

"You better understand the situation! If All Might weren't concerned about us hostages, he would have already acted. Why would you need to rescue him?" Camie Utsushimi helplessly. "Luckily, we were all wearing formal attire, so we weren't caught by the defensive measures like Pro Hero. Going up to rescue him now would only cause trouble and make things difficult for All Might!"

Although Yoarashi and Camie Utsushimi didn't get along, he knew that what she said was right at this moment. He said somewhat unwillingly, "Damn it! So we have no choice but to watch helplessly here!?"

"There's only one way, and that's to wait," Camie Utsushimi said.

"My U.A. High School: Jilan Jiyu"

"Didn't you notice that a few people were missing from the venue?" Camie Utsushimi with a meaningful smile.

"What do you mean?" Yoarashi asked, puzzled.

Camie Utsushimi tapped her palm as if she had just remembered something. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I met some people from U.A. High School on I-Island, including Jilan, of course."

"You said Jilan is here too, why don't I see him!?" Yoarashi was overjoyed, and as she spoke, she tried to stand up and search for Jilan among the people squatting in the venue.

"My U.A. High School: Jilan Jiyu"

After being threatened, Yoarashi was about to show a defiant expression when Camie Utsushimi back. "Hey, I told you, you big oaf, don't attract attention anymore. You want to die, but I don't."

Having learned her lesson, Yoarashi didn't argue but instead asked softly, "Where is Jilan now? Why can't I see him?"

"Use your brain! If he's not at the venue, it means he's on his way there," Camie Utsushimi sighed, clearly exasperated.

Although Camie Utsushimi it hard to accept at first glance, he knew that Jilan would definitely come when he saw Momo Yaoyorozu invite Jilan to the banquet and he didn't refuse.

As for the reason, Camie Utsushimi, who had already been rejected by Jilan, was quite certain of one thing: if Jilan didn't refuse on the spot, even if he was very unwilling, he would eventually do it.
