Chapter 93

A-Xing was initially very anxious, but after turning a corner, he saw Shirou following a few people into the alley.

He didn't care that his phone was still on call; he wanted to go directly to support Shirou.

Then, in the next second, he saw several men in suits fly out of the alley.

"???"

Staring at the fantastical scene before him, A-Xing stood frozen in place.

Then they saw Shirou dragging two men in suits out and piling them together.

At that moment, A-Xing was thinking very seriously.

Who is the real victim? There are too many fantastical things happening on this land. He feels he needs a little wine tonight to fall asleep peacefully.

Looking at the several men in suits who were now completely dead, A-Xing asked Hoshiguma if they should send someone over to collect the bodies.

"You mean packing? I'll be there in a bit."

Hoshiguma held up the identification and equipment needed for the field mission and said.

On the other side, A-Xing, who still felt that the world was somewhat fantastical, was patted on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a man dressed in very ordinary clothes.

The other party pointed to the phone in A-Xing's hand and said, "We'll handle this, no need to trouble Sir Hoshiguma."

"Clam?"

A-Xing didn't react in time.

"A-Xing, turn on the speakerphone."

Hoshiguma naturally heard what the man said and told A-Xing to turn on the speakerphone on her phone.

"It's open, it's open."

Realizing what was happening, A-Xing quickly did as instructed.

"May I ask who you are?"

On the other end of the phone, Hoshiguma asked a question.

She's a smart person; the other party directly pointed out that she was the one on the other end of the phone, which shows that the other party knows a lot.

"We were asked to come and investigate, and we unexpectedly discovered some wolves that had escaped from the pack. We will handle it properly, so please don't worry, Sir Hoshiguma."

"... Could you please tell me who sent you to investigate?"

"I cannot disclose the details. I was merely entrusted to determine whether this was yet another conspiracy disguised as a scheme."

"I understand. Please don't worry about that. I can personally vouch for his actions."

After hearing what the other party said, Hoshiguma roughly understood who was behind the other party. The so-called conspiracy disguised as sugar was referring to those people who claimed to help infected children, but in reality just wanted to use the children to make Lungmen Dollars.

Many people have this kind of idea, but people like Shirou are a minority. The little bit of Lungmen Dollars that the shop earns is nothing compared to what Shirou invests.

Not to mention, Shirou almost always reinvests all the money he earns back into the store's operations, with no intention of using it for himself.

"With Sir Hoshiguma's guarantee, we feel at ease. So, leave this to us."

The man remained calm and said that all the necessary investigations had been completed, and now that Hoshiguma had vouched for him, he could go back and report to his superiors.

Unfortunately, there was still a lot of garbage waiting for him to clean up.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Hoshiguma breathed a sigh of relief, not only because the crisis was over, but also because Fuyuki Store was alright.

Rao asked, "Sister Xiong, is this alright?"

Watching the man walk aside to make a phone call, A-Xing turned off the speakerphone on his phone and then asked in a low voice.

"No problem, they'll handle it. You go check if anything's wrong at the store, I'll get back to work."

After saying that, Hoshiguma hung up the phone and continued to immerse herself in the sea of work, trying to leave on time.

A-Xing looked at the phone that had been hung up, then at the man who had finished his call, and finally gave up thinking about it.

A lot happened today. Sister Xiong it's okay, then it's okay. If she tells me to check the store and see if anything is wrong, then I will.

"A-Xing, what are you doing here?"

Shirou felt incredibly refreshed and relieved after dealing with a group of thugs.

He saw A-Xing standing there in a daze not far away, so he went up and greeted him.

"It's nothing, are you alright?"

Once she came to her senses, A-Xing waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and then looked at Shirou in front of her again.

He remembered a group of people being kicked out of the alley and flying quite a distance. He never expected that Shirou, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so terrifying when he started fighting.

Now that I look closely, the other person is completely clean; there's not a speck of dust on them, let alone any injuries.

Was the opponent too weak, or Shirou too strong?

A-Xing felt that this question was worth exploring, but he did not intend to test it himself.

"I'm fine. Could you call the Knights of the Round Table for me? I left my phone at the store."

Shirou stretched out his hand and twirled it to indicate that he was not injured.

He just instantly enhanced his body, snatched the stick, and knocked the men away; it was practically a one-second thing. To be honest... it didn't even qualify as a warm-up, did it?

"We've made contact. Someone will be here to handle it soon. Is everyone alright?"

A-Xing didn't tell anyone what had just happened and abruptly changed the subject.

"I had Ansuo take them upstairs. When they arrived, it was just Ansuo and me working in the shop."

"That Ansuo must be terrified. Should you go and comfort him?"

"Hmm? Ansuo doesn't seem like the type to be scared by such a small scene, does he?"

"Sigh, I think things will get Ansuo."

"What?"

"It's nothing, hurry back. Someone will come and take care of those lying over there soon."

A-Xing pulled Shirou into the shop, while worrying about Ansuo's future.

Faced with a log this big, the little rabbit would probably have to gnaw on it for a long time.

Are you alright?

Seeing A-Xing and Shirou enter the store at the same time, Ansuo, holding a grappling hook in his hand, asked.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Seeing that Ansuo was on guard, Shirou patted the other's head and said.

"Didn't you see? Shirou was really fierce when he hit people. He took care of a group of them as soon as he entered the alley."

A-Xing, standing to the side, tried to reassure Ansuo with more of a joking tone.

"Phew... I'm glad you're alright."

Seeing that Shirou was not injured and that A-Xing was still in the mood to joke, Ansuo guessed that things must have been handled very well.

And judging from what A-Xing said... it seems that Shirou didn't hand over the two thousand Lungmen Dollars, which means that the food allowance for this month is still there!

108. Lying down doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose to Shirou!

"Wow, that's really efficient. As expected of the Knights of the Round Table."

As Shirou tidied up the shop, he watched as the people he had just knocked out were carried away one after another, and couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of the Knights of the Round Table.

"...Yes, as expected of the Knights of the Round Table."

When A-Xing, who knew the truth, heard what Shirou said, her expression was a little strange, but after thinking for a moment, she went along with what Shirou said.

After all, Sister Xiong works in the Knights of the Round Table, so praising the Knights of the Round Table is essentially praising Sister Xiong, and there's nothing wrong with that.

"Won't there be any follow-up retaliation?"

Ansuo stuffed the Lungmen Dollars he had taken back from Shirou back into the cash register; two thousand was half a month's profit for this shop.

What she's most worried about now is whether these people will retaliate. Although they don't seem to be local gangs from the Slums, that's precisely why she's worried.

There's a saying that those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. If the other party really retaliates fiercely, then there will be a big problem.

"Don't worry, with me here, they wouldn't dare. They just happened to be caught off guard."

A-Xing yawned. Although he didn't know who the man was, if Sister Xiong said it was okay, then it must be okay.

"I hadn't thought of that... I've been too busy lately, and my mind is a bit foggy."

After being reminded by Ansuo, Shirou regretted his impulsive actions.

"I told you it's okay, don't worry too much, Sir Hoshiguma will handle it."

A-Xing patted Shirou on the back and said.

The main problem is that this matter cannot be stated directly, as this would cause a lot of trouble. If we could just say "Please explain clearly," there wouldn't be so many problems. Who wants to be a riddle teller for no reason?

"Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you. I'll be going now."

Shirou naturally trusted A-Xing; he was always very trusting. Plus, A-Xing mentioned that Hoshiguma Shirou relieved. After checking the time on his phone, he hurriedly prepared to leave.

However, he couldn't stay here for too long, as there were four mouths in the dormitory waiting for him to feed them.

"Be careful on the road."

Seeing how hurried Shirou, neither of them intended to stop the other from leaving, as they both knew that Shirou was very busy.

After Shirou hopped on his bicycle and rode past the usual vendors, the man who had just been talking to A-Xing emerged from the alley with his phone in hand.

"The target has already left, should we continue the pursuit?"

Watching Shirou walk away, the man spoke into his phone.

"No need to chase after them. How's the situation at the store? You weren't scared, were you?"

"It looks like it's been well protected."

"Okay, that's good. So, how do you think these children are doing?"

When asked this question, the man, whose face had remained calm until now, showed a helpless expression and said:

"... They should be doing quite well. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least they're doing well in terms of food."

"Haha, that's really putting you in a difficult position. You should take a good rest these days. Thank you for your hard work."

"Okay, but I'll have to deal with these stray wolves first."

"Okay, remember to give me the information you've collected."

On the other end of the phone, an elderly Zalara Ancients, dressed in a black suit, put the phone back.

"That penguin has acquired a very interesting guy, an altruist... Wouldn't someone like that be more suitable for the Knights of the Round Table?"

The old man flipped through the documents on the table. Although there were quite a lot of documents, he was looking at Shirou's document.

Compared to the thick files of ordinary Lungmen people, Shirou's files were very thin, consisting of only a few pages.

On one hand, there is no way to trace back to the past and know about the other party's past; on the other hand, the Emperor and Is intentionally concealed Isv 'Shirou information.

However, obtaining the hidden information would be very easy for the old man in front of him.

"Shirou Emiya, race is Siracusa, age 20... this is probably fake, currently working at Penguin Logistics as a housekeeper..."

Looking at the documents in his hand, the old man tried to distinguish which were real and which were fake.

Since he was working in Slums, he needed to find out more about the other party's background.

"It seems there aren't any major problems... at least it's not too different from the intelligence we've gathered. Let's go out and wander around."

The old man put the documents back on the table, picked up a cane with a dragon head engraved on it, stood up, put on a white coat, and walked out of the room.

After listening to his subordinates' account and the description in the documents, the old man decided to go and see the shop for himself.

Some things can only be determined to be good or bad by seeing them with your own eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shirou was pedaling his bicycle at full speed back to the Penguin Logistics dormitory.

"If we don't hurry, this dinner will turn into a midnight snack."
