Speaking of berserk sloth meat, Yuxuan remembered she still had some in her car. Before leaving, she'd specifically chosen a leg with alternating layers of fat and lean meat
and cut it off.
After buying vegetables and meat, Yuxuan and the others spent most of the day wandering around town. When they finally realized there was nothing else worth buying,
they headed over to the parking lot,
took out another ten gold bars, had Rogers carry them, and went to the bank again.
Perhaps Rubis had already received word that Yuxuan was coming. As soon as the group turned the corner, they saw
Rubis, dressed in a suit and sporting a lecherous grin,
standing at the entrance to welcome them.
Yuxuan frowned. She hadn't been sure before, but now she was certain: this was the man who had told those
hoodlums not to lay a hand on her.
After all, bullying outsiders was exactly the kind of thing locals loved to do.
Looking at Rubis's beaming face, Yuxuan took a deep breath and walked over.
When Rubis saw her coming, he hurried forward and gave her a respectful gentleman's bow, placing his right hand over his chest and inclining his head slightly. With a welcoming smile, he said, "Miss Fang,
your esteemed presence has brought great honor to my humble establishment."
Yuxuan glanced at him. He kept smiling, so she couldn't exactly punch a man who was being nice to her. She raised an eyebrow.
"Thanks."
Rubis's smile didn't waver. His voice carried a hint of confusion as he asked, in a deliberately affected tone, "Oh? May I ask what Miss Fang is thanking me for?
I don't believe I..."
Yuxuan folded her arms and slowly closed her eyes. In that instant, the aura around her suddenly gathered and intensified.
