World Season (6)
22 hours before the start of the war, a splendid breakfast buffet was served in the penthouse of the massive building Shanghai Tower. All sorts of Chinese dishes gave off a greasy smell. Even though they were powerful rulers, it was a fantastic meal that they never imagined they would enjoy in a ruined world.

Rather than making the participants' mouths water, the dishes smelled somewhat foreign to them. More precisely, they were feeling something like the high pride and vanity of the "power" who served this meal.
Three guests from different regions did not eat any of the dishes because they were very uncomfortable about the situation they were in. They didn't even talk to each other, and they just looked down at the city center outside the window.
It was the guide standing at the door who broke the silence.
"General Xing is coming."
Soon, the door with gold embroidery was opened, and a short Chinese man walked out.
