Jin Meilin Restaurant had vanished.
Where the resplendent building once stood, there was now nothing but an empty, scorched crater, all of its former glory reduced to the finest dust.
The building, its signs, neon lights, and the people inside the restaurant were all turned to ash.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and even Shu Guan, standing at the street corner, could smell it distinctly.
It was a familiar scent, the scent of Slaying God Explosives.
It was, likewise, a familiar scene, identical to the destruction of the suit shop on Xiafei Road.
Again, that ghostly tank!
Shu Guan felt an icy chill in his limbs, standing there rigid.
Today he had chosen to meet the Lion King Beichen and lady Qingmei alone, thinking it unlikely that GLH Company had detected him.
But he hadn't expected that, just after he had left, Lion King Beichen and lady Qingmei would be silenced.
