<h4>Chapter 471: Chapter 472: As Moses Split the Red Sea</h4><h4></h4>


    Instinctively slowing down, the crowd parted to make way for the man, as if Moses was parting the Red Sea, the tide of people automatically cleaved a path exclusively for him to pass through.


    Taking advantage of this moment, Huangfu Jue swiftly wove through the crowd and rushed onto the stage.


    "Duke... Mr. Duke?!"


    The staff on the fireworks tform, who was shouting into a microphone in an attempt to calm everyone down, instinctively stopped when they saw him approaching and stepped aside to make room.


    The surroundings were still in a state of chaos.


    Near the exit, people were packed together tightly.


    At this time, the voiceing through the speakers was not in the least bit deterrent.


    Huangfu Jue frowned, turned his face, and gave amand in a deep voice.


    "Set off the fireworks, switch the video to the big screen!"


    "Ah..." the staff member was stunned, "What... what did you say?"


    Ignoring them, Huangfu Jue turned around and walked to the control desk, and againmanded the staff at the controls.


    "Quickly!"


    The young person in charge of the control desk nodded and lifted their hand to press the control button.


    Bang!


    A dull explosion sounded as the first firework screamed skywards.


    The sudden noise startled everyone; they instinctively raised their hands to cover their heads, some crouched, and still, othersy t on the ground...


    The previously noisy square instantly became silent, the firework burst midair, illuminating the entire za’s sky as bright as day.


    People turned their faces to the sky, and then they heard the man’s deep voice rise behind the fireworks.


    "I am here on the fireworks tform, I am Duchess Teresa!"


    The big screen on the square lit up, revealing a tall figure.


    "There is no need to panic, nothing terrible has happened, it was just an ident."


    The man standing on the fireworks tform spoke with a deep tone, his expression calm, and each word steeped with a reassuring power.


    People began to stand up, pulling their hands away from their heads, and looked towards the central stage where the man stood.


    Bang!


    Another firework soared and its vivid bloom threw the man on the stage into sharp relief, as if the entire field of fireworks became his backdrop.


    All the hearts that had been held tight settled back in ce. The previously screaming women calmed down, crying children distracted by the fireworks looked up at the sky, having forgotten the tears at the corners of their eyes.


    "Please help the people near you who need assistance, and if someone is injured, we have volunteer service centers set up in all four directions of the za, where you can get water and treatment."


    Under his guidance, people quickly sprang into action—helping up those who had fallen, aiding the injured, the staff also rapidly took their positions.


    ...


    ...


    "Mommy, look, Daddy is there!"


    Gan Tang lifted her little hand, pointing towards the fireworks tform across the za.


    Having reached the edge of the road, Gan Yuan stopped in her tracks, turned her face to look, and indeed saw him. Despite the distance, she could still make him out, standing as straight as a sword.


    By this time, the people around had already quietened down. Before the situation could escte further, peace was restored to the za.


    "For causing such inconvenience to everyone, this shows there are still ws in our security measures, and for this, I deeply apologize..." the man’s voice arose amidst the respite of exploding fireworks, "But I believe, I believe in you, because you are the bravest people I know, and no matter the situation, we will not be afraid..."
