"Everyone, don’t panic, leave in an orderly manner... Watch out for women and children... Let women and children go first..."
Security personnel reacted swiftly, starting to use loudspeakers to direct the crowd methodically.
Realizing something was amiss, Huangfu Jue turned toward a front diagonal direction and charged toward a security guard who was trying to direct the order.
Reaching out with his palm, he snatched the megaphone from the other’s hand.
Seeing someone suddenly rush forward, the security personnel instinctively wanted to resist, and as his fist was just raised, two bodyguards seized it, while Huangfu Jue tore off the glasses on his face and threw them away.
Upon seeing his face, the security personnel were instantly stunned.
"I’m not very clear myself, but there seemed to be an explosion just now..." the security personnel quickly told him what they knew, "We are trying to evacuate the visitors."
While he was speaking, another security personnel’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, "The situation has been clarified, there is no terrorist attack, just a minor accidental event."
"Acknowledged!" This time it was a deep voice, seemingly that of the head of security.
While the security personnel in front of him were still in a daze, Huangfu Jue had already snatched the walkie-talkie from his hand.
"I am Duke Teresa, repeat, I am Duke Teresa, everyone listen to my command, immediately calm all the tourists, we must not let the situation escalate to avoid a stampede!"
The walkie-talkie broadcast his voice, reaching the ears of every security member present.
"This is head of security Jamie, we have received your command, we will act immediately!"
By this time, the dazed security personnel in front of him had also snapped to attention, immediately grabbing the loudspeaker on his body and shouting at the people, "Don’t be afraid, there is no terrorist attack... everyone please stop..."
All around was a cacophony, his voice completely drowned out by screams, nobody was paying attention to him.
Terror was still spreading rapidly in all directions, more and more people joining the chorus of those fleeing, not far off, a frail girl stumbled and fell toward the ground.
Behind her were countless fleeing people, and if she fell, it would cause a terrible chain reaction.
Huangfu Jue pushed his way past the two bodyguards in front of him, dashed forward in a few strides, stretched out his hand to grab the girl’s arm, and pulled her over to hand her to a bodyguard, "Take good care of her!"
The girl, still shaken, looked up to say thanks, but upon seeing the man’s handsome face, she was just stunned into silence.
"Come with me to the stage!"
Huangfu Jue commanded sharply, and immediately surged against the flow of people toward the direction of the fireworks platform, handing the startled girl to security personnel. A few bodyguards immediately rushed over, flanking him, helping him block the oncoming crowd.
A few people, like fish swimming against the current in the ocean, with Huangfu Jue leading the front, he then picked up the loudspeaker.
"I am Duke Teresa, please remain calm!"
In the midst of chaos, his face remained so calm that not a ripple surfaced, his blue eyes full of composure.
His voice spread out, and the running people in front shifted their gaze in astonishment, only to see the man who they had only seen on TV or in newspapers before, striding towards them.
The sight of him brought an inexplicable sense of calm to those who saw him.
If there really had been a serious incident, he wouldn’t still be here.
