There were guards patrolling the town. Dudian easily avoided them and sneaked back to a simple and plain hotel. The sign hanging on the hotel was painted with a green frog, it was quite childlike.
Back in the room, he saw Aisha sitting quietly at the table, like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband’s return.
There was a trace of warmth in Dudian’s heart. He went back to Aisha and whispered to her. He told her about his trip tonight. After that, he helped Aisha wash her teeth and face. He carried her to the bed and let her lie down to sleep, although Aisha didn’t need to sleep. He had never seen her close her eyes, but he still hoped that she could have a good rest like a normal person.
After taking care of Aisha, Dudian lit the oil lamp and sat by the table. He looked at his right arm. His mood was a bit complicated. It was unknown if he could get the magic marks of the supplicant, but his right arm couldn’t be delayed any longer, he saw that the gold in his right arm had dyed his shoulder. In another day or two, it would flow into his body. At that time, the threat of the golden sarcoma might come back.
“I’ll cripple one arm and start over. I don’t know if I can get the magic marks of a supplicant here...”Dudian’s eyes lit up. He would have to rob at least four more territories to get the magic marks of a supplicant, he wanted them to buy magic marks for him. However, if five Lords bought magic marks of a supplicant in a row, it would attract the attention of the temple. There should be no lack of experts in the temple who could deify supplicants.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
In the end, he was still reluctant to lose his right arm. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only do so.
However, it was naturally not suitable to lose an arm in this small hotel. He planned to leave this place at dawn.
After staying in the wilderness for so long, he had not had a good rest for a long time. After thinking for a while about what to do next, he washed up and crawled into bed to sleep.
This time, he slept very soundly. He didn’t need to hold the splitter’s saber. His heart was tense.
It was almost noon when Dudian woke up. He stretched and felt that the tiredness of the past few days had been swept away. He got up to help Aisha wash up and put on clothes, he took Aisha downstairs to eat.
“Boss, give me ten pieces of black pepper steak.”Dudian casually found a seat and sat down. He called out to the lady boss who was at the counter.
The Lady Boss was a young woman in her mid-twenties. She was wearing a light red scarf and was very capable. She glanced at Dudian and saw that Dudian and Haisha only had two people. She asked for ten pieces of steak, but the more Dudian shouted, the more she earned. There was no reason for her to refuse. Moreover, looking at Dudian and Haisha’s clothes and fabrics, they were not poor people.
She replied and turned to report to the kitchen in the back hall.
After a while, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl came over with two sets of fragrant black pepper bone steak. This was one of the more expensive dishes. Although the little girl looked tender, but she was well developed, her chest was full and exuded a youthful and tender aura. She was not inferior to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Dudian took the steak and ate it. He sighed in his heart. The people here had the ability to marry early, she could be a mother at twelve or thirteen years old.
In the slums of Sylvia, there were many people who had children at twelve or thirteen years old. Not only did they have children but they also had to take on the task of making money in the family, what did twelve or thirteen-year-old children know? They could only cry in front of their parents and wait to be fed.
When Dudian finished eating one of the steaks in his hand, he cut off the other one and fed it to Haisha.
This steak was only medium-rare. It was more nutritious and had blood vessels in it. Haisha did not reject it.
The little girl brought two more steaks over. When she saw Dudian’s appearance, her freckled face was full of envy. She smiled and said: “You and your wife are really in love.”
Dudian nodded. He finished feeding Haisha and began to eat his own share.
Dudian heard a few rough voices when he ate the sixth portion. He felt a bit harsh. The door of the hotel was kicked open. Three or five burly men with strong muscles walked in, the leader of the group was wearing a pointed helmet and armor. He looked quite capable. He arrogantly glanced around the hall. His eyes didn’t stop on Dudian but finally landed on the lady boss behind the counter, she sneered: “Lady Boss, business is good today. Shouldn’t we pay the protection fee?”
The Lady Boss’s face changed as they barged in: “Big Brother Mimon, didn’t you say two days ago that we would pay at the end of the month? As you can see, we are located in a remote area and our business is not good...”
“That’s your problem. How can you blame me if our business is not good?”The burly man looked at the Lady Boss’s bulging chest, he sneered, “We’ve been here so many times, and our feet are aching. I haven’t settled the score with you yet. You have to pay today. Otherwise, my brothers have a bad temper. If they destroy your store, I won’t be able to control them!”
The Lady Boss’face changed, and she quickly said, “Big Brother Mi Meng, you can’t go back on your words. We...”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t believe that you don’t have money!”MIMO said impatiently.
“We really don’t have money.”The girl who had served the dishes to dudian said angrily: “We have just paid the rent and the Lord’s tax. How can we have money to pay you? We don’t have anything to eat!”
“Nothing to eat? Then what are they eating?”MIMO stared at her, his eyes turned to the little girl and looked up and down. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, “If they really can’t come up with money, that’s fine too. Little Sister, Tonight, accompany my brothers to vent their anger. Let’s forget about this matter for the time being. Lady Boss, what do you think?”
When the little girl heard his words, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly hid behind the lady boss.
The Lady Boss protected her with one hand and squeezed out a smile at him, she said, “Big Brother Mi Meng, children are not sensible. Please don’t mind. It’s just that we really can’t take out this money. These are sold to customers for food. How can we bear to part with them? It’s not like you don’t know that there is no money to be made in our business. We can only barely make a living.”
“Big Brother, since this woman won’t listen to our kind words, I think we should teach them a lesson.”A strong man with a scar on his face snorted coldly.
“Boss, look, my brother is impatient...”Mimon chuckled. Before he could finish his words, a whistling sound was heard. A silver light flashed in front of his eyes and nailed onto the wooden pillar, it was a knife.
Mimon was startled. He turned his head and saw that there was only one table in the direction of the knife handle. The guests on the other tables saw that something was wrong and had already left the place. They went upstairs to pack their luggage and leave.
Dudian continued to cut the steak with the knife in Aisha’s plate. He said in a neutral tone: “Get away from here. Don’t be noisy.”
Mimon raised his eyebrows, he sneered: “Yo, a hero saving the damsel in distress? It’s none of your business that I’m talking here? You are a guest here right? I advise you not to be too arrogant. Don’t tell me that you like this widow? I see that your female companion has a good figure, Kid. Don’t look at the pot while eating.”
Haisha was wearing a veil, so Mimon couldn’t see Haisha’s appearance. However, from her figure and temperament, she was a beautiful woman. If it wasn’t for the fact that Dean and Haisha were dressed well.., mimon would have directly made a move.
Dean used the fork to put the cut meat into his mouth. He gently chewed and swallowed it. He sighed and turned to look at the few people.
The sneer on Mimon’s face disappeared when he saw Dudian’s eyes. He felt that the air around him seemed to be a few degrees cooler. His face slightly changed. He was about to say something to support the situation, dudian raised his hand and swung it.
Whoosh!
His neck was cold and then very hot. The pain was unbearable!
Mimon stood in a daze. He touched his nose. There was hot liquid. He looked up and saw that it was blood.
He was a bit confused. He saw Dudian raise his hand to throw the knife but he couldn’t see Dudian’s hand clearly. The speed of that moment was beyond his reaction, he didn’t even have time to prepare to dodge.
Thump!
A sound came from the side.
Mimon felt that his strength had been sucked away and he fell down.
“Big Brother!”
“Big Brother!”
The other three people were shocked. Some wanted to go to Ramon, while others looked at Dudian in fear. They were ready to escape.
“Get lost!”Dudian whispered.
Their hearts trembled. They had clearly seen the injury of Mimon and the other person. Their throats had been pierced. The knife was still staring at the table. The knife was stained red with blood.
The three of them looked at Dudian’s indifferent expression. They were scared out of their wits. Although they were evil but they didn’t dare to kill people in public. Although they were protected by the higher-ups, but killing people was two different things. It wasn’t good for them to make a big noise. However Dudian killed two people in a word. Moreover he killed two birds with one stone.
The three of them hurriedly dragged the bodies of Mimon and the other person out of the hotel. In the blink of an eye they disappeared. There was only a long trail of blood on the ground.
The Lady Boss and the little girl were stunned. This change caught them off guard. They turned their head and looked at dudian. At the moment in their eyes, this young man who looked delicate and weak was even scarier than the previous few people who had left.
“Lady Boss, give me another set of cutlery and five more steaks.”Dudian glanced at the lady boss.
The lady boss reacted and subconsciously agreed. She ordered the little girl to go and get it. She hesitated for a moment and slowly approached Dudian. She whispered: “Thank you...”
“No need to thank me. I didn’t do it for you. It’s because they have disturbed me.”Dudian indifferently said. He was speaking from the heart. Originally, when the few people came in and talked about the protection fee.., he was already tired of listening to them. He had just woken up and heard the noise. If it wasn’t because he didn’t want to cause trouble, he would have killed all of them.
But the other side seemed to be endless. His warning didn’t have any effect so he was too lazy to talk to them.
In his eyes, let alone these few punks, even if there were some people with honor and reputation, he would kill them if they provoked him. He was no longer the juvenile who would feel guilty if he killed a person, now for him, there was no difference in the nature of killing and hitting people. If there was a difference, it would be more convenient to kill people. Once and for all, he wouldn’t hear the screams.
The boss’s heart trembled. She saw that Dudian didn’t want to comfort her. She felt that Dudian was too dangerous. She only hoped that Dudian would finish eating as soon as possible and send the god of plague away.
She didn’t think that Dudian would benefit from killing those people. On the contrary, she might encounter more trouble. After all, those people died in her hotel. There was no guarantee that people wouldn’t come to look for trouble, she just hoped that her hotel wouldn’t be implicated.
After saying a few words of thanks, the lady boss left Dudian’s side. She could see that Dudian was frowning impatiently.
At this time, the little girl came over with two plates of steak and a set of cutlery. She secretly glanced at Dudian, she whispered: “Big Brother, thank you. But if you kill them, you will be in trouble. You should leave as soon as possible.”She turned to look at the lady boss who was at the counter, he was relieved.
Dudian glanced at the little girl: “You Don’t seem to be afraid of death.”
If it was a normal girl, two people would die in front of her. No matter how fierce the person was, they would be afraid of the person who killed them. But this little girl dared to talk to him.
The little girl blushed as she heard Dudian’s words: “People often die outside. I’m used to it.”
Dudian looked at her but didn’t say anything. After eating the steak, he paid the bill and left the hotel with Aisha. As for the bill and the deposit of the hotel.., he found them from the pedestrians on the roadside after entering the town. With his hand speed, he was more than enough to be a thief.
