The sunlight pierced the last darkness before dawn, scattering fragments of gold onto the land, the morning breeze lifting the birdsong as the first note pecked away the silence.
The previously quiet world seemed to come alive at this moment, the mist over Bin Yue Square gradually dispersing with the first rays of sunlight.
Zhong Xiaonan immediately got up and headed into the square, which by now was cordoned off, forbidding anyone from entering.
Zheng Min and Huang Lancai hurriedly followed behind.
But Zheng Min suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking down at herself.
"What's wrong?" Huang Lancai noticed her unusual behavior and also paused.
Zhong Xiaonan turned her head upon hearing the voice.
Zheng Min extended her right hand, gently clenched it, and said somewhat disheartened, "My power has disappeared."
"With the great revenge achieved, Mr. Shen naturally reclaimed his power," Zhong Xiaonan said matter-of-factly.
