Su Wen, the Gradually Unfolding Manila Scheme

Seeing this, Emily could not help but laugh as she teased him:

"What a huge surprise.

But Rickman, it seemed your heart had yet to learn how to handle surprises. That was a custom high-end glass coffee cup, worth 9,500 pesos.

Put it on your tab."

But as her words fell, the atmosphere inside the café instantly turned subtle, and everyone turned their eyes toward Su Wen.

Only,

before they could say anything,

after Emily finished her jab,

several bombs were suddenly thrown in through the window.

The air filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder, followed by a deafening roar:

"Get down!"

BOOM!!!!

The bombs exploded inside the café.

The powerful shockwave blew the walls apart, sending dust and debris flying everywhere like a sudden storm.

An entire row of cabinets that had held glassware was instantly shattered by the blast.

The glass shards sliced through the air like sharp blades, tracing deadly paths, but fortunately, the scholars and teachers from Lorenz Riel reacted quickly.

More than a dozen barriers of different colors rose in an instant. They glimmered with mysterious light like sturdy shields, firmly blocking the aftermath of the explosion outside.

"They've gone insane!"

"These radical bastards want to wipe us all out here."

Though the explosion was incredibly powerful, the people inside the café felt only slight tremors under the protection of those barriers.

But most of them felt deeply provoked:

"Fxxk!

Li Weisi, you were followed!!!!"

"No, it probably had nothing to do with him."

Su Wen said slowly.

He knew very well that neither when he met Li Weisi nor when they arrived at this contact point had there been any sign of being followed.

He had also kept Appraisal Perspective active and scanning the entire way, yet he had found no abnormal fluctuations.
