"Mei Gui, we'll split up here...you know who to look for," I said once we were inside the building. "If you do find one of them...give me a call."
"Understood, Master...but didn't you cut all ties with them already?"
I averted my gaze. "I did...t-this is an exception. Once this disaster is over, we'll each go our separate ways."
Mei Gui stared uncomfortably at me for a while more, then finally sighed and began walking away. "As you wish, Master."

- 30 Minutes Later -
No...none of them are here. I've searched an entire half of the mall, and Mei Gui searched the other half. Neither of us found any of the four girls.
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
Okay...some bad premonitions going around in this chapter. The four girls are all missing, and now we got a monster within the so-called safe zone...moreover, Obsidia and Lan Xiao Su's whereabouts are both still unknown as well. The Midnight Syndicate really played a cunning card this time, using the rain to their advantage...
When writing fights in novels, it's not all about how the protagonist overcomes the villain through outsmarting or something. That's what Xuan Kai usually does, sure, but at the same time, we authors have to come up with how the villain will use some cunning trick to gain the upper hand first. And then, for maximum satisfaction, we'll have the protagonist defeat the villain, even at a disadvantage.
Now then, how will things turn out from here in the climax of Volume 5?
Look forward to it in the next chapters to come.
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~

Side note: I say 'I'll see you guys' every time, but really, I'm not 'seeing' any of you. Maybe I'll change it to 'I'll talk to you'...nah, that would be breaking the pattern I have down. I've literally got the typing pattern of my intro and outro to these afterwords memorized.
