BOOM!
A flash of light lit up the night and a cloud of smoke filled the entire van and spilled to the outside.
The guards who were unlucky enough to inhale it quickly fell to the ground one after the other.
Madam Xu turned to the entrance after hearing the sound, a frown on her face.
"Was that an explosion?" The avatar asked, sarcasm dripping from his tone, "I hope your guards are okay."
"You think this is a game?" Madam Xu asked, her anger evident on her face.
"Well, if it is," the avatar leaned forward, its blue eyes glowing a bit, "I'm winning."
Zhao Ming and the few guards that were sent to the basement came back, his face pale as he reported, "M-Madam… she's gone."
Madam Xu slowly turned to him, her expression completely cold and unreadable. "What did you just say?"
Zhao swallowed hard, forcing the words out. "They used the eastern stairwell to get into the basement. The guards stationed there are unconscious, and the woman… she's gone."
