The female singer who had just finished her performance looked at Loren standing motionless beside her and asked with some confusion:

“The performance has ended. Aren’t you going to use this moment to preach your organization’s ideology?”

Clearly, this singer still regarded Loren as a member of a Cult Organization. Even though Loren was dressed in a heavy metal rock style, it made no difference…

Loren gently shook his head, his face calm as he said:

“I’m not here to preach any organizational ideology. I’m going backstage to find someone.”

As his words fell.

The lift platform at the center of the stage activated at the opportune moment.

The female singer and Loren began to slowly descend beneath the stage…

And that female singer took advantage of this time, continuously waving to the live audience and broadcast cameras, blowing kisses non-stop.

Only when the singer could no longer see the live audience did she stop, turning to look at Loren with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.

After a few seconds, she suddenly realized something.

“Find someone? You’re actually a fervent fan of someone? Good heavens! Why didn’t the staff stop you!?”

Hearing this, a trace of a shy smile appeared on Loren’s face.

“Fervent fan? Hmm… you could say that, it’s not entirely wrong.”

“Who are you looking for? Let me tell you, I know all the singers backstage. Do you want me to take you to meet your idol?”

Loren thought seriously for a moment, then politely declined.

“No, thank you, Madam. That would bring you some trouble.”

Helping a violent assailant assassinate a Federation politician, Madam, your performing career would likely be over…

“Are you really sure? The backstage area is huge. If you go looking for your idol alone, it’ll take you a long time.”

From her words, it was apparent that because Loren hadn’t rudely interrupted her performance, her initial favorability toward him was quite high…

“No need, Madam. I’ve already found him.” Loren said with a smile.

During Loren’s casual chat with the female singer, the lift platform had already descended into the vast space beneath the stage.

Loren, who had been continuously scanning with his spiritual energy, stepped off the platform as soon as it stabilized and began walking in a specific direction.

The female singer, still standing on the lift platform, watched Loren’s tall, retreating figure and softly commented:

“What a strange person. Good thing he’s not my fan…”

The underground space was spacious and brightly lit.

Because it gathered numerous performing guests and countless staff members, everyone appeared extremely busy. Countless communication devices were constantly chiming, coordinating every performance aspect of the Silver Radiance Festival…

Therefore, only a few staff members near the lift platform noticed Loren’s unauthorized entry into the backstage area.

However, these staff members did not initiatively stop Loren. Instead, after notifying the Security Bureau agents, they returned to their busy tasks.

Everything appeared hectic yet orderly.

What these staff members didn’t know was that the communication lines to the Security Bureau were currently going unanswered…

Not long ago, the gathering of Loren’s group of four in the front row of the inner arena had triggered the Security Bureau’s emergency protocol.

The Security Bureau agents within the underground space had all been redeployed from another hidden passageway to the stadium above ground…

After all, the gathering of those four was simply too provocative for the Security Bureau’s nerves.

The Chief of the Star Traveler Society, a Legendary powerhouse from the Empire’s Military, the Vice President of the Arcane Research Society, and one unidentified powerhouse.

Especially considering that among the four, that unidentified powerhouse was sitting upon the “Throne to the Stage”…

And the other three had actively gathered around him!!

It looked exactly like a premeditated, organized joint action by cults…

In the eyes of the Security Bureau, if the enemy deployed such a luxurious lineup, then whatever they were planning must be enormous!

To put it gravely, a personnel configuration of this level was enough to ransack the entire Security Bureau of the Silver Radiance Star Domain…

At this point, contacting the distant Security Bureau headquarters in the Central Star Domain was already too late.

Thus, under the highest state of alert of the Silver Radiance Star Domain’s Security Bureau, they activated the highest-level emergency protocol.

All agents on-site entered a state of emergency.

Even the Security Bureau agents located in the underground space were all redeployed to the stadium above ground, responsible for handling any unknown situations.

As for the situation in the underground space…

Among those singers, bands, and awards presenters still waiting in the wings, there was no shortage of high-rank Superhumans. These individuals possessed a certain capacity for self-defense.

Whereas in the stadium above, the over one million spectators were mostly ordinary people and low-rank Superhumans…

If the person in charge of the Silver Radiance Star Domain’s Security Bureau didn’t want to be sent to the execution platform by Federation law, he’d better ensure the survival rate of the live audience…

With such a massive number of spectators, and with the Cult Organization’s powerhouses having already made their appearance without any attempt to conceal themselves, evacuation was no longer feasible…

And these spectators had almost zero capacity to deal with a disaster…

Faced with this, that person in charge of the Silver Radiance Security Bureau could only hope that these Cult Organizations would consider their reputation among the Federation populace.

And that those unknown powerhouses who had specifically come to watch the Silver Radiance Festival from the audience seats would lend a hand at the critical moment.

Meanwhile.

The Security Bureau agents gathered through the emergency protocol, under the command of that person in charge, also quietly began their operations…

Low-rank and mid-rank Security Bureau agents blended into the audience seats to maintain order.

The high-rank Security Bureau agents were divided into two groups.

The majority of high-rank agents were responsible for conducting high-density patrols within the stadium.

The remaining small portion of high-rank agents gathered in front of the stage, acting as a temporary rapid-response force…

It was precisely because the Security Bureau had activated the emergency protocol that no one was left in the Silver Radiance Festival’s backstage area to stop Loren.

He advanced unhindered, moving closer toward Councilor Huck’s lounge…

This Councilor Huck’s temporary lounge was located near the edge of this underground space.

His reason for choosing this particular temporary lounge was simple.

Rooms on the periphery were quieter, and this location was also quite close to the Security Bureau agents.

Unfortunately, what he hadn’t anticipated was that, due to a series of “unfortunate” coincidences, those Security Bureau agents had already been redeployed.

That person in charge of the Silver Radiance Security Bureau also hadn’t considered his safety.

In fact, he hadn’t even notified him of the on-site situation…

Regrettably, due to the Security Bureau’s special status, they were only accountable to the highest Federation Council.

A House of Representatives member was not on their list for special care…

At this moment, the only people accompanying Councilor Huck were the several dozen members of his political advisory team.

And among these several dozen people, most were administrative personnel who helped him strategize and handle government affairs.

Only a little over ten individuals were personnel responsible for security work.

Even more regrettably, among these security personnel, only a few were high-rank Superhumans.

The remaining security personnel were merely some mid-rank Superhumans…
