Could There Be Something Wrong?

Bang~

Lu Bai placed the empty bowl on the Desktop and asked, "Then can you take out your Golden Core?"

"Can."

Without hesitation, Warden Xiong Pi gave his answer directly.

Lu Bai considered himself a kind person, and then asked again, "Will this have any impact on you?"

To his surprise, his casual question moved the Xiong Pi to tears.

Instantly, his body surged with energy, as if he wanted to transfer the Golden Core within him on the spot.

As he channeled his Internal Energy, he explained with a touch of childish charm, "Brother Bai, don't worry. This Golden Core is from the same source as me, so I'll refine it very quickly."

Lu Bai nodded somewhat stiffly.

It's not easy to resist feeling nauseous when such a burly, strong man acts like a timid girl in front of you.

To be honest, if Xiong Pi weren't so ridiculously strong and there wasn't a good way to deal with him, Lu Bai would have preferred to cancel out the effect of the [Electronic Succubus] ability.

The immense and surging Internal Energy naturally stirred up a strong wind in the hotel, causing the calendar on the wall to spin wildly.

Fortunately, this commotion did not last long.

The storm quickly subsided, but it felt like the temperature inside the store had inexplicably risen several degrees.

The source of this heat was a dazzling point of light held in the Xiong Pi's hands.

The light spot was actually only the size of a fingernail, but the heat it released seemed endless.

This is what is known as the Golden Core.

This Golden Core contained more than 90% of the Xiong Pi's total Internal Energy. After he extracted the Golden Core from his body, he became visibly weak, and even his rosy complexion turned pale.

Xiong Pi forced a smile and said obsequiously, "Brother Bai, please feel free to take it if you need it."

Internal Energy is essentially the same, both belonging to the biological origin, and there will be no rejection reaction.

Lu Bai didn't stand on ceremony and immediately grabbed it, refining it in an instant.

A mechanical notification sounded in my mind at just the right moment.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do." The Xiong Pi leaned weakly on the table, its tone unusually gentle.

Lu Bai felt the surging power within his body and nodded in satisfaction. It was finally worth enduring so much nausea.

He casually snapped his fingers, canceling the [Electronic Succubus] effect on the Warden Xiong Pi.

He appeared to be sitting lazily in his seat, but in reality, he was just waiting for the Xiong Pi attack so he could immediately strike and kill it.

To his utter astonishment, after canceling the effect of the [Electronic Succubus] ability, the Xiong Pi's expression didn't even change, let alone erupt in anger.

Lu Bai: "..." You wouldn't be...?

After a moment of silence, he tentatively pointed towards the semi-open kitchen. "You, go and cook me two dishes."

"OK."

The Xiong Pi pursed its lips, stood up, and forced itself to walk towards the kitchen despite its weakness.

Upon seeing this, Lu Bai instinctively gasped.

He didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

In the end, the Xiong Pi was asked to leave the kitchen by the Sister Shrimp.

Although Sister Shrimp didn't know who Xiong Pi was or the Warden's identity, she sincerely believed that she shouldn't ask her savior's friend for help.

"Brother Bai, come home later, and I'll show you my cooking skills."

The Xiong Pi carefully sat back down on the stool.

"...We'll talk about it later." Lu Bai's expression was complicated.

Bang!

Three people walked in through the door, swaggering around and looking quite arrogant.

Moreover, their hair was dyed red and green, a very typical gangster look.

One of them walked straight to the food counter, leaned to the side, stretched out an arm and whistled at the Sister Shrimp, "Little sister, look how dirty your shop is, I need to collect a cleaning fee."

Sister Shrimp paused for two seconds.

However, since they were making a living in Chikan Bay, they quickly realized that this was a protection fee collection.

She then pointed to the board next to her, on which hung a purple T-shirt with the words "All Villains" printed in large letters.

This means that this store is protected by a force of All Villains.

The three thugs didn't know that Sister Shrimp was mute, and naturally assumed that this little girl was looking down on them because she couldn't even be bothered to speak.

One of the red-haired men immediately lost his temper and overturned the table next to him.

"You idiot! Can't you understand when I'm talking to you properly?"

Since Lu Bai was present, he naturally wouldn't ignore it.

He tapped on his Desktop: "Don't you know that the All Villains is the current Spokesperson's power base?"

"What's it to you? What business is it of yours? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"

Red Hair spat and walked towards Lu Bai: "I don't care about whether it's round or square, this street is our territory now."

It is worth mentioning that this was because the Prison Guard had previously conducted a thorough sweep of the area.

A significant portion of the forces in Chikan Bay were swept into oblivion, leaving many territories vacant.

Even if new criminal gangs emerge in these territories and form new patterns, in the short term, most of them will still be these arrogant and reckless individuals.

White Shark and Thirteen Yao had both mentioned this to Lu Bai.

Lu Bai gave up trying to communicate with them and took out his phone to notify White Shark: "Shrimp Claypot Rice, there are three guys here that need to be sunk to the bottom of the sea."

His confident demeanor and the implication in his words finally made the three thugs present realize that something was wrong.

The blond-haired man hesitated for a moment. "Who are you?"

Lu Bai: "I am Lu Bai."

Lu Bai?

The blond-haired and red-haired men looked at each other, feeling that the name sounded familiar, but they couldn't quite place it.

It would be too embarrassing to slink away after being scared like that.

So Red Hair suppressed his urge to explode and asked, "Lu Bai, right? Which gang are you from? Do you know Brother Fuji?"

Lu Bai: "Never heard of it."

"You've been hanging around this street for a while and you don't even recognize Brother Fuji?"

Red Hair felt relieved and flipped over another table. "Then what are you pretending for with your dad?!"

As he spoke, he picked up a stool and walked straight toward Lu Bai.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion outside the shop interrupted Red Hair's actions.

White Shark, sweating profusely, rushed into the store and quickly blocked the path of the three thugs.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of thugs wearing purple All Villains T-shirts filed in, almost filling the remaining space in the store.

Lu Bai smiled kindly, "White Shark, you've arrived pretty quickly."

Upon hearing this, White Shark immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Bai... it was my negligence."

He glared at the three thugs in front of him, making no attempt to hide his murderous intent. "Rest assured, I will do it myself..."
