The once bustling headquarters of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association now stood deserted.
The main gate was tightly shut, and a suffocating atmosphere of desolation hung in the air.
Occasionally, passersby would widen their eyes in bewilderment upon seeing such a scene.
They couldn't fathom what had happened to cause the once lively Martial Arts Association to fall into such a state.
The few who knew kept their lips tightly sealed.
"I'm sorry, Brother Shi, but there's really nothing I can do about this."
In an office on the second floor, a middle-aged man looked at Shi Tao with an apologetic gaze.
This man was Yang Yi, the City Lord of Jiangnan City, an A-level Awakened.
"Brother Yang, you don't need to feel embarrassed. This has nothing to do with you. The fact that you came here at this time is more than enough for me."
Shi Tao said with a smile.
"Yes, indeed."
Chang Fei and the others beside him nodded repeatedly.
Ordinary people wouldn't know what had happened here.
