"Well, although we didn't get the help of Vandal King or Flame Girl, look on the bright side … at least the kway teow here is really delicious. I even want another bowl after this one," the waiter said as he handed the empty bowl into the kitchen.
But the next moment, the Lianxiang House not far from them suddenly exploded without warning. The shock wave shattered all the glass windows into 1 * 1 small particles, and the pedestrians nearby were overturned to the ground. Even the ceiling of the kway teow shop shook, and a piece of the wall fell directly into the bald man's bowl.
"Ah, it's the Evil Scientist again. Can't we have a good meal?" The bald man complained, "I saved my favorite meatball for last … and this is what I get in return?"
The culprit of all this, a giant mechanical spider with a height of five meters, appeared on the other side of the pedestrian street.
As soon as it appeared, it caused a panic in the crowd, and the people on the pedestrian street fled in all directions.
Flame Girl also rushed to the cashier counter and pulled out all the notes. Just as she was about to close the door, her body suddenly froze. For the first time, a panicked expression appeared on her face as she said anxiously, "What are you talking about?
"Ah Gang, Ah Gang is there!"
Ah Gang was the first child of Vandal King and Flame Girl. He had just entered elementary school and lived nearby. It was time for school to end, and he was heading home with his schoolbag. Unexpectedly, when he passed by the Lianxiang House, he was suddenly hit by an explosion. As one of the victims, he was overturned to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Not far away, the mechanical spider was running toward them with its eight scythe-like legs. With every step it took, a deep ditch appeared on the ground.
"Leave it to us." The bald man stood up from his seat, took out sunglasses from his pocket, and put them on his face. "Take it as a token of appreciation for such delicious kway teow. Don't worry, we will solve this problem for our old friend."
After that, he used the chopsticks in his hand and the table next to him to form an RPG rocket launcher. He carried it on his shoulder and aimed at the mechanical spider that was getting closer and closer. Then, he whistled. "Game over, big blockhead."
The high-explosive armor-piercing warhead rushed out of the rocket launcher at a speed of 117 meters per second, flew toward the mechanical spider, and accurately hit the latter's body. However, the result surprised everyone. The shell that could destroy a light tank did not even leave a mark on the mechanical spider's body.
"I take back what I said before, and I suggest you have another child." The bald man put away the rocket launcher and sat back down. He asked the waiter beside him, "Aren't you going to give it a try?"
"I don't know. There are too many people here. My butcher will hurt the innocent, and this thing is obviously a new weapon built by the evil scientist. I suspect that even if I release the butcher, it won't be a match for him."
While the waiter was speaking, Vandal King, who was originally in the kitchen, suddenly rushed out of the kway teow shop without saying a word and rushed toward the mechanical spider.
"Uh … Can anyone tell me why he chose to commit suicide for no reason? Is your marriage coming to an end, or has married life put too much pressure on him? "The bald man looked at Flame Girl.
Zhang Heng was about to make a move, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he stopped. Of course, he was not completely idle. Instead, he was taking advantage of this time to build a weapon to deal with the mechanical spider.
It was obvious that Vandal King, who had turned from a supervillain to a chef, rarely exercised. After running for two steps, he began to pant, and the fat on his chin trembled. However, he did not stop running, rushing to the front of the Lianxiang Restaurant before the mechanical spider.
He picked up his son, who was unconscious on the ground, and when he turned around to run back, a shadow suddenly appeared above his head.
One of the mechanical spider's legs swung down, and Vandal King twisted his somewhat bloated body, barely dodging the attack. However, he tripped on something and fell to the ground. Ah Gang, who was originally in his arms, rolled out as well. Without hesitation, the mechanical spider lifted its other leg.
"I'm not sure if I want to see what happens next." The waiter could not help but close his eyes.
However, the next moment, the bloody scene he imagined did not happen. That was because the mechanical spider's leg had magically disappeared.
It was not blocked by someone, nor did it suddenly malfunction or break … It had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Mei Nan rubbed his eyes, counted again, and found that the mechanical spider now had only seven legs left.
So everyone's eyes finally focused on the fat chef who had just gotten up from the ground, holding his knees and gasping for breath.
As if to confirm their suspicions, the mechanical spider, which had become a little angry because it had lost a leg, raised both legs at the same time, stabbing the unconscious Ah Gang on the ground.
The crowd, who had their eyes wide open, finally saw what happened. Vandal King took a deep breath, and his movements became more agile and fast than ever. His hands, which were still stained with butter and chopped green onions, flew up and down, and it took less than three seconds to disassemble the mechanical spider's two legs into a pile of parts.
He did not stop there. After that, he climbed up the mechanical spider's back. The latter's eight eyes showed a trace of fear like a human, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
Its invulnerable metal shell, which even armor-piercing bullets could not penetrate, was no different from an onion bought at the market in front of Vandal King. Its outer layer was peeled off layer by layer, and it continued to shrink. In the end, only a small mechanical spider the size of a fingernail was left on the ground. It tried to run away with its pocket-sized legs, but a chef's shoe fell from the sky and crushed it.
Vandal King wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to the stunned crowd, "Why are you all looking at me? What just happened?"
"Your destructive power … It's back?" the waiter asked excitedly.
"My destructive power? H-how is this possible?" Vandal King was stunned. His attention was focused on how to save his son, and his brain had no time to give instructions to his body. So, his hands were only moving based on instinct. Only then did he realize what had happened. He looked at his hands and said in a trembling voice, "My destructive power … Is it really back?"
However, after he finished howling, he glanced at Flame Girl not far away with one eye.
The latter rushed up immediately and checked Ah Gang's body on the ground. When she found that he was just unconscious and was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. She then looked up at Vandal King and said, "I'm sorry. I know that it hasn't been easy for you to be with us all these years. You've been suppressing your nature and trying to be a good husband and father."
Vandal King scratched his head. "It's not that bad … I've actually peeped at female customers with good figures occasionally, and I've hidden some money. Sometimes, I'll pretend to wash my feet before I go to bed …"
"Go back to being yourself."
"Huh? What?"
"I said it's time for you to be yourself. You heard what they said before. This time, you can use your ability for the right things. Do something that's good for the world. Save the city, become a hero, and make up for all the mistakes you've made. Ah Gang and I will be proud of you."
