He seemed genuinely anxious, firing off a barrage of questions.
However, Liu Yonggang on the other end of the phone remained unconcerned, even showing a hint of schadenfreude.
"So what if the palace is destroyed? Do you expect us to explain this to that puppet royal family who's just a figurehead?"
