Lai Mingjie and Xu Rouguang stayed awake in their home until midnight. Both of them were waiting for the reports to flood in from the immortals that would be rounding the entire city. Bloodvein Café was still the refuge of most demons, but some of them only learned to stay in as soon as the darkness crept into the city. Unlike that fated night, no one was caught loitering the streets. The morning news didn't report any brutal murders as well.
It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that having General Xu lead the challenge to the demons' claim to rise up made them lose their will. With the deathless general personally waging war against those who would use the drug, the peddlers knew better than sell the next day. Subsequently, no one managed to have stocks ready. Even if it pleased Lai Mingjie, he was still aware of the growing grievances of the demonkind.
