Gu Xi never expected that just eating one of their pies would almost make him miss the Steam Bus back to the city.
Their so-called Pigeon Pie was clearly the pinnacle of the dark cuisine world. Live pigeons wrapped in dough and baked in the oven – no one but the people of Britain could come up with such a thing.
Gu Xi's stomach, already a bit weak from being hungry lately, combined with the stimulation of the Pigeon Pie, almost dehydrated him.
It also depleted the little bit of stamina that Gu Xi had managed to replenish. On the way back, Gu Xi remained slumped in his seat, not planning to move an inch.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong along the way. When Gu Xi staggered into the Tavern, the bartender at the front desk glanced at him.
"What happened to you? Can you still handle your soft food tonight?"
"Forget about that. Do you have anything that can fill my stomach? I'm about to collapse."
Gu Xi said helplessly. Even as a professional, he was almost killed by the food here. It seemed Luna's idea was right; Aryadovi City needed to build a tavern first.
Otherwise, he would turn into an undead in a few days.
"Alright, I'll arrange something. You should drink more sugar water in your condition. I won't arrange anyone to bother you tonight."
The bartender said as he mixed a cup of sugar water for Gu Xi.
Gu Xi drank it all in one gulp and then collapsed in his room. As for his gains from the day, he had no mood to sort them out.
Right now, he just wanted to rest and replenish the stamina he had lost along the way.
However, in the middle of the night, Gu Xi suddenly felt a movement. The Powderize Staff quickly fell into his hand, and a Bone Spike appeared in his left hand, pointing towards the door.
"Who's there?"
At this shout, Gu Xi noticed a figure appearing at the door.
"I didn't call… It's you?"
Gu Xi was about to say that he hadn't called for any service tonight, but he realized that the person standing at the door was a server from Wheel of Fate.
"What are you doing here?"
"Your things. This is the complete file, this is the transfer contract. Once you sign it, the land is yours."
The server expressionlessly threw a package of documents onto Gu Xi's bed.
Gu Xi opened the documents and quickly scanned through them. He found that, as the server had said, they contained the land deed for the ruins at the end of Greenwich Avenue.
There was also a transfer contract and a legal document. In other words, once he signed these documents, the land would be Gu Xi's.
However, Gu Xi was curious. Were the people from Wheel of Fate always this eager to handle things?
Coming to someone's room in the middle of the night to deliver documents.
With these doubts in mind, he still signed his name on the documents.
After signing the documents, Gu Xi looked up at the server.
At this moment, the server said with a gloomy face, "Our agreement is complete. Take care of yourself."
"Wait, can I ask what happened?"
Seeing the server's strange expression, Gu Xi quickly stopped him.
"It's nothing. Wheel of Fate encountered some trouble. The ruins look like ruins on the surface, but they are actually a complete apartment building. However, some spells to drive people away were placed on the outside, making it look like ruins. Plus, the issues between Camden District and Damingwei District made some people unwilling to take over these ruins.
In the end, no one knew that this place had been secretly occupied.
Our people were ambushed several times while handling this matter, and that's when we discovered the problem.
Now that the land deed is handed over to you, whether you want to take back that apartment is your own business."
After speaking, the server glanced at Gu Xi, snorted heavily, and disappeared from Gu Xi's sight.
Gu Xi could hear the hidden meaning in the server's words, but before he could ask for clarification, the server had already disappeared.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Gu Xi's mind: could this server have suffered a loss in that apartment building?
The more Gu Xi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Otherwise, the server wouldn't have explained things in such detail. He was clearly telling him that the place he had chosen had been occupied, and now that the land legally belonged to him, he had to go and seize it.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi lost all sleepiness. He sat on the edge of the bed, seriously considering the situation at hand.
Gu Xi could see the waiter's strength. Although he didn't know his level, it was clear that he was definitely a professional. Even someone like him had suffered a loss, so the apartment building could be considered fraught with danger.
However, retreating at the sight of danger was not Gu Xi's habit.
On the contrary, the danger before him aroused the motivation in Gu Xi's heart. After carefully considering it for a moment, he jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, grabbed his luggage, and quickly headed out.
When he went downstairs, the bartender who was still working only glanced at Gu Xi and said nothing.
After leaving the Tavern, Gu Xi was about to head towards Greenwich Avenue when he unexpectedly saw the heads hanging on Victoria Bridge emitting a pale yellow light as soon as he went out.
It looked like a large oil lamp had been lit in the middle of the bridge, directly enveloping the entire bridge.
Gu Xi glanced over there and couldn't help but sigh at how powerful this big brother who had his head chopped off was. He didn't know how many years he had been dead, but he could still emit such an aura. How awesome was he when he was alive?
With such thoughts, Gu Xi didn't feel too bored along the way.
Soon, he arrived at the ruins at the end of Greenwich Avenue.
If the waiter hadn't specifically mentioned it, Gu Xi would never have thought that an apartment building was hidden behind these ruins.
But now, standing in front of the ruins, Gu Xi had a different idea.
Whether this place was a ruin or an apartment building, it was now surnamed Gu.
After standing outside the ruins and looking for a moment, Gu Xi walked towards the ruins without saying a word.
As Gu Xi walked towards the ruins, he suddenly had the thought that he seemed to have something else to do.
But Gu Xi immediately realized that this was a kind of expulsion aimed at him. However, Gu Xi was clearly the owner of this land in front of him, so why should he leave?
"I am the owner of this land, this land is mine. Even if the Queen of Britain comes, this land is still mine. I want to see, when I want to return to my own land, who dares to stop me."
