Ace, however, stood stiff, his face twitching. His mind raced.
An attack? No… but then why does something feel so… off?
His eyes flicked to Liu Mei and Shan Yifeng, who had frozen mid-bicker. Were they actually shocked?
Ace narrowed his eyes. Wait… don't tell me—
His mind instantly replayed the conversation from earlier—
"Master, can we not go to the Blue Sea Restaurant today?"
"Hmm? Why? You two planted explosives there?"
"Y-yeah, we d-did."
Silence.
They wouldn't. They COULDN'T have…
Ace inhaled sharply, his breath caught in his throat. His fingers twitched before rising to grip his temples, pressing hard as if to physically stop his brain from comprehending the stupidity before him.
They… they actually did it.
AA vein throbbed at his temple. His pulse pounded. His hands clenched into fists, knuckles bone-white.
These little shits actually planted explosives?!
