Noa's sudden declaration stunned everyone in the hall.
Even Tifa squinted her eyes.
"Come again?" she asked.
Noa wasn't affected by their stares and repeated himself.
"I want to kidnap a man. It's important and concerns you as well," he answered.
"What do you mean?"
"My promise…" Noa paused. "The man I want to kidnap is the key to saving Rachel."
A booming sound reverberated.
It was followed by shouts in his direction.
Punchy, who stood in front of Viktor, was startled when something exploded in Tifa's hands.
It was a handmade item she used as a walkie-talkie.
Her anger raised the temperature in the room, and her voice was quicker than the bald man's, who also tried to confront Noa.
"I warned you not to say her name."
Her voice was calm.
But the meaning behind her actions wasn't.
"And I don't trust you. Now you want someone else to aid you? Not a chance. This wasn't part of our agreement, and I told you we are leaving."
Noa didn't give up.
