There was no way this could wait until morning!
The Fish Kingdom's royal palace had been bombed, engulfed in flames!
The imperial capital's royal palace was the face of the entire nation. Having it bombed was an international incident!
The internet was going wild with speculation!
"What's going on? I live just outside the capital's Eleventh Ring Road, and the explosions were so loud! They scared my cat half to death—it's been parkouring around the room all night!"
"Could a foreign country have attacked? Something like an orbital cannon? A precision strike?"
With a commotion like that, who could sleep?
Before long, though, the Fish Kingdom's state media posted an announcement on the international news site!
"Rumor refuted! A natural gas pipeline at the Fish Kingdom's royal palace leaked, causing an explosion. There were no casualties, and the situation has been handled appropriately!"
The moment the post went up, people flooded the comments with abuse!
"Bullshit! Was the palace built on top of a gas tank or an oil field?"
"Exactly! Could a gas explosion really blow it up like that? What kind of gas tank would it take? Even an orange-tier gas tank couldn't pack that kind of punch!"
"Who do they think they're fooling? It was probably hit by a missile, and they're too embarrassed to say so!"
That excuse was so flimsy nobody believed it!
But right after the state media's post, all the major outlets began publishing reports from every angle!
"Shocking! The truth behind the bombing of the royal palace! On-the-scene footage! Huaxia Jiedushi visits the Fish Kingdom and suffers inhuman mistreatment—he goes a whole day without food and blows up the palace in a fit of rage!"
