Chapter 789: Chapter 789 Clown
Ling Fengās expression changed, and he hurriedly went to the other room and asked, "People from Hellās Gate? Where are they now?"
Long Guangyiās voice came through, "They are currently at the Oriental Shopping Center. Since itās crowded there now, we havenāt stirred things up yet. Iāll leave this matter to you."
Ling Feng said in a grave tone, "Donāt worry, Iāll make sure they wonāt return!"

The Oriental Shopping Center? After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng had a forbidding premonition in his mind. Places like shopping malls, banks, and cinemas, where people are crowded, are the most prone to incidents, and Ling Feng remembered that Yun Hanrui had gone shopping with Catherine and Jenny. Could they also be at the Oriental Shopping Plaza?
Thinking this, Ling Feng dialed Yun Hanruiās phone, but the prompt "The number you have dialed is not in service" came through.
"Damn, somethingās wrong!" Ling Fengās heart sank, then after leaving a message for Liu Tingyu, he quickly drove towards the Oriental Shopping Center.
The Oriental Shopping Center is a high-end shopping plaza in Yanjing, where major global brands are readily available, and itās famous for having an exclusive area for cheongsams and Hanfu. This is also a major feature of the Oriental Shopping Center.
"Wow, such beautiful Hanfu!" Jennyās eyes shimmered with excitement as she looked at the Hanfu models in front of Ancient Fragrance Pavilion.
Yun Hanrui and Catherine also showed a hint of interest. Catherine sighed and said, "But itās a pity, Hanfu suits Eastern women better, as it fully exemplifies their classical elegance and delicacy."
Jenny nodded. She was fully aware that, although she loved these garments, they would seem somewhat out of place on her as a Western woman. It was the surprise of culture and heritage.
"Xiao Rui, do you want to try one?" Jenny held onto Yun Hanrui and said, "I think you would look beautiful in Hanfu!"
Yun Hanrui shook her head, "No thanks, I donāt really like overly elaborate clothes..."
But before she could finish, Jenny dragged Yun Hanrui inside, "Come on, donāt decline, just try one on for me to see, okay?"
Yun Hanrui refused, "I really donāt want to. You think I donāt know about your weird taste?"
Jenny rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, if you just try on one set for me to see, I promise Iāll ensure this collaboration succeeds, okay? Otherwise, Iāll sign the report to disagree, how about that?"
Yun Hanrui said irritably, "Hey, this is personal interest under the guise of business! Itās really despicable!"
Although she knew Jenny was joking, seeing her so eagerly insistent, Yun Hanrui hesitated for a moment and then picked a set of Hanfu and walked into the dressing room.
Some ten minutes later, Yun Hanrui walked out of the dressing room. She rarely wore Hanfu, so she felt somewhat unnatural at first.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Stars nearly sparkled in Jennyās eyes, and Catherine also showed a look of amazement.
Yun Hanruiās figure was naturally tall and slender, and her demeanor was aloof. With the addition of the Hanfu, she looked like a classical beauty who had stepped out of a painting.
With a click, Jenny took out her camera and snapped a few photos. Yun Hanruiās face also bore a look of helplessness; Jenny had a habit of photographing people and was only interested in beautiful women, and she was also keen on posting the photos of the beauties she captured on her Facebook. This was also why some people, like the frail Nuria, were reluctant to cooperate with Jenny.
"Hey, hey, enough is enough!" Yun Hanrui said irritably as Jenny kept taking pictures, "And I warn you, you canāt just upload them to your Facebook willy-nilly!"
Jenny put away her camera, with a sly expression, "Beautiful things are naturally meant to be shared with others! Donāt worry, Iāll choose only the prettiest photos to post!"
"You..." Yun Hanrui rolled her eyes, understanding that she couldnāt change Jennyās hobby.
"Miss, Iāll take this outfit!" Jenny snapped her fingers and said, "Wrap it up for me later!"
Yun Hanrui, who had changed back into her original clothes, came out, "Letās go grab something to eat now; weāve been shopping for so long, Iām getting a bit hungry!"
With a loud bang, at that moment, the doors of the entire Oriental Shopping Center suddenly slammed shut, and countless black gases began to spread from the ground.
"What happened?" The sudden event plunged the whole Oriental Shopping Center into chaos.
Catherine narrowed her eyes, "It looks like weāve gotten ourselves into some trouble!"
No sooner had she spoken than the largest electronic screen in the shopping center showed a man wearing a clown mask. He spoke in a mocking tone, "Hello everyone, Iām delighted to meet you, my friends from Huaxia. My name is Klau, but you can also call me Clown!"
This sudden voice captured almost everyoneās attention.
The Clown snapped his fingers and said, "I know many of you are panicking right now, but donāt be afraid. This is all my doing. As long as you stay put here, I can guarantee your safety. However, if you donāt cooperate... God will deliver Heavenly Punishment upon you!"
Since terror incidents are rare in Huaxia, people didnāt feel a sense of crisis initially, some even thought it was some promotional trick by the Oriental Shopping Center!
But they soon realized this was no joke! Several customers who tried to dash out were ensnared by the black gases and collapsed weakly to the ground!
"What on earth is happening?!" Panic reigned in the Oriental Shopping Center.
"Oh? It seems there are still many who arenāt cooperating with me," the Clown observed the people frantically trying to escape, a fierce glint in his eyes, "Wouldnāt it be nice if you all behaved? Do you really make me get tough?"
As he spoke, he stared coldly at the crowd, "God will soon bring down Divine Punishment, and only those who submit to me will find salvation!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those who had collapsed on the ground screamed miserably as black flames erupted from their bodies, burning them continuously. In less than thirty breaths, all of them had turned into piles of ashes.
Screams and fear spread instantly to everyone, but this time, they did not act rashly, realizing that any sudden movement might make them the next to die!
"Hahaha, I just love the look of fear on your faces, helpless, weak, fearful... Your expressions right now are simply perfect!" the Clown laughed maniacally, "But donāt worry, Iām a man of my word, just stay where you are, and I wonāt hurt you easily!"
