The massive explosion sent shockwaves through the air.
The display windows of the 'Watchdog Pastry House' were shattered outright.
So were the display windows of the surrounding shops.
Amidst the clatter of falling glass shards, Edward rushed outside immediately.
Jason was a step behind and said to the female pastry chef, who was once again stupefied:
"Do your job, I'll take care of the rest."
Having said that, Jason caught up with Edward.
The female pastry chef nodded subconsciously at the sight of Jason's retreating figure, then she looked around at the shattered counter, the blood-stained floor, the broken display windows, and the fire rising from across the street... Wasn't it agreed that the war was over?
In her daze, the female pastry chef started picking up one egg after another, automatically separating the yolks and whites into a bowl, instinctively stirring.
By this time, Edward had already reached the street where flames were emanating.
