The leader was a burly man with a ferocious expression and a blood-red scar resembling a centipede on his face!
"Robbers!"
One of the waiters screamed in fright.
The burly man turned his head away, and the others quickly moved in and subdued all five waiters in the teahouse!
Dabao shouted, "Boss, help!"
The boss was about to get up, but seeing this, his gaze turned slightly cold, and he slowly sat back down.
He said to the burly man, "Don't get agitated, let's talk this out."
"We are robbers, you know that?" The burly man, who was also the leader of the robbers, glared at him and said fiercely.
"I didn't know before, but I do now. Oh, I also know that you're not only robbers, but you also try to dine and dash at my teahouse."
The boss remained calm and showed no signs of nervousness.
The bandit leader cursed, "Damn it! What a load of rubbish! I haven't even started eating yet! Get ready to eat!"
A robber behind him, brandishing a knife, craned his neck and yelled, "So what if you dine and dash? Dare to utter a sound?!"
The boss raised his eyelids, glanced at the people in the room, and sighed almost imperceptibly.
He asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
The bandit leader looked up and asked his underlings for their opinions.
Braised fish!
"Stewed goose!"
Steamed pork knuckle!
Roast pork!
The robbers ordered food all at once.
All of them were hearty dishes.
After all, being a robber is also hard work.
The boss's lips twitched slightly. He said, "I can only make tea, I can't cook."
As he spoke, he glanced at the group of bandits.
These people were dressed simply and had nothing of value on them; all they had was the fresh smell of blood!
A bunch of poor bastards...
The boss muttered to himself.
The bandit leader asked fiercely, "Then, which of you can cook?!"
Dabao raised his hand. "Sir, it's me!"
The bandit leader pointed at him. "You're the one! Hurry up and go cook! Hey, you two stick with him, don't let him pull any tricks!"
The two robbers took Dabao to the kitchen.
As we passed the shop owner, he smiled slightly and said, " Dabao, our guest has come from afar and must be very hungry and thirsty. Remember, make sure the food is seasoned more strongly."
Dabao nodded. "I understand!"
Because Dabao's cultivation level was very low, only at the Insight Realm, while the lowest of these bandits were at the Universe Creation Realm, they were not extremely vigilant.
The bandit leader invited everyone to sit down. These men were all filthy, having braved the Mo Feng and rains to get here. After the commotion, the room was filled with muddy footprints and a foul stench.
The boss frowned slightly.
The bandit leader saw this and said unhappily, "What's with that look? Are you looking down on us?!"
The boss said, "Even if you're disgusted, I'll clean it up."
The bandit leader sneered, "If you don't serve us well, you won't even have the chance to deal with us!"
The shopkeeper looked up, glanced at the crowd, and casually asked, "Where are you headed, sir?"
One of the robbers, quick to speak, blurted out, "Let's go to Montreal..."
"You're so quick to talk!"
The bandit leader next to him slapped the shopkeeper across the face, then glared at him with a dark expression, "None of your business!"
The boss raised an eyebrow. "Mengliu... volcano? Perfect, I was planning to go too. How about you give me a ride?"
The bandit leader yelled, "Get out!"
boss. "..."
After a while, the bandit leader couldn't wait any longer and ordered someone to hurry up and prepare the meal, but Dabao still hadn't finished.
The bandit leader grabbed a waiter and said to the boss, "He'd better not try anything funny, or I'll strangle him!"
The shopkeeper said, "A gentleman uses words, not fists. Sir, please don't be so short-tempered."
The bandit leader tossed the waiter aside, took off a pair of leather gloves, and the shopkeeper noticed a red ring on his finger, his eyes flickering slightly.
Red Jade Ring!
This is a very rare item!
This item has the effect of nourishing the body and mind and providing energy. If you were to sell it, it could fetch hundreds of Origin Coin!
The bandit leader noticed his gaze, scoffed, and deliberately showed his hand to the shopkeeper, saying smugly, " Red Jade Ring, envious, aren't you? I rob humans!"
These bandits are all from the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race!
The boss casually asked, "Whose did you steal? You're pretty clever."
The bandit leader sneered, " Immortal Firmament Manor, just an academy elder! He only killed a few of his disciples and still wouldn't let it go, so naturally he ended up being killed by us!"
"Hahaha!"
The surrounding bandits also joined in the laughter.
The Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race had long suffered in the Imperial Evil Realm, and their pent-up frustration had no outlet.
Even though the bandit leader and his gang were ruthless bandits, they didn't dare to confront the demon army head-on. They just happened to encounter the humans from the Immortal Firmament Manor, so they used them to vent their anger.
Upon hearing this, the boss's expression subtly changed. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, appearing extremely calm and indifferent.
Why do you want to go to Mengl iu Volcano?
The boss asked again.
"Damn it, are you too lonely? Always trying to make conversation!"
One of the robbers cursed angrily.
"You don't understand, my lonely heart..." The boss's brow furrowed with worry again.
Is dinner ready?
The bandit leader was getting impatient.
Just then, Dabao came out and made a big pot of beef soup. The beef chunks were large and the aroma was rich and delicious, making the bandits, who had been hungry and thirsty all day, extremely envious.
The crowd surged forward, ready to grab the food.
The bandit leader shouted, silencing the commotion. He ordered a bowl of soup to be placed in front of the innkeeper and said gruffly, "You drink first!"
Dabao shouted angrily, "I worked so hard to make this, are you afraid of poisoning me?!"
The owner looked at the bright, clear beef broth, smiled calmly, picked up the bowl, took a sip, and remained expressionless.
The bandit leader was relieved.
With a wave of his hand, more than thirty people each received a bowl and wolfed it down.
They finished drinking it very quickly.
The boss stared at the bandit leader and said slowly, "If one day I hope you'll utter four words, it will be: 'Boss, the bill!'"
The bandit leader sneered, "You think you can keep up the act here? You want money? You think you and your gang can escape death?"
He stood up, grabbed the broadsword, and was about to say something when suddenly a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. Soon he was drenched in sweat, in excruciating pain!
"You still poisoned it?! How could that be!"
The bandit leader angrily asked, at which point all thirty-odd bandits showed the same symptoms as him. They all collapsed, rolling on the ground, groaning in pain, some even bleeding from their seven orifices.
The boss laughed, "I'm not afraid of drugs, are you?"
Of course he would poison it; otherwise, why would he let these people ruin his teahouse?
The previous instruction to Dabao to make the soup more flavorful was actually a secret signal to add some poison!
The poison was in a hidden place.
Only Dabao and he knew that the two bandits who were looking at him thought it was just ordinary seasoning and naturally had no suspicions.
Black blood flowed from the bandit leader's eyes and nose, and he collapsed in despair.
In just five seconds, everyone died from the poison!
