"Woops…"
He might have overdone it with the fire. The entire city was ablaze. Or maybe the city was just too flammable.

The egg was dangerous. The people in control of the egg were dangerous. The people in control of the people in control of the egg were dangerous.
Stealing the egg was nothing but trouble, yet, somehow, Lu's attempts at convincing himself not to go after it didn't work.
