"So fast?"
Meg was a little surprised. He took off his apron and hung it on a chair at the side. He gently patted Jane's shoulders and comforted her gently. "Jane, don't be afraid. They are not here for you. Just stay in the restaurant and don't come out."
"But …" Jane looked at Meg. She was worried that the Ten Kings Palace had come because of her.
"We said we would protect you," Meg said with a smile. He let go of her and walked out of the restaurant.
In the courtyard, a fat abyss demon was using a stone chair to wipe the mud off his shoes. Another spatial demon was using a spatula to knock on a metal pot, making clanging sounds.
"May I know what the two of you are here for?" Meg glanced at the spatula in the spatial demon's hand and frowned. However, he was not in a hurry to act.
"You are the boss here?" The spatial demon looked up at Meg and frowned. What race is this demon from? Why haven't I seen him before? Are there demons like the lobster race?
"Yes." Meg nodded.
The fat abyss demon at the side took his feet off the chair and strode forward. He pointed his nose at Meg and said arrogantly, "I heard you killed a demon with a protective amulet? Are you not going to obey the rules of the Ten Kings Palace? "
"A two-faced demon who caused trouble." Mag nodded. Then, he pointed at the large protective amulet hanging on the door, and calmly said, "If I remember correctly, according to the Ten Kings Palace's rules, the demons who hang the shop's protective amulet have the right to kill any demons who create trouble in the shop, right?"
"You …" The abyss demon choked. He had planned to suppress this fellow first before squeezing some benefits out of him. He did not expect this fellow to use the rules of the Ten Kings Palace to suppress him.
"Ha, you said he caused trouble. Do you have any evidence? I heard he did not even leave a single scrap behind. "The spatial demon came forward with a spatula and sneered at Meg.
"If he didn't cause any trouble, why would I, a restaurant owner, make things difficult for a customer? If I wasn't happy, would I kill a customer as a sacrifice to the heavens? Or do you think there are too many customers and you want to scare some away? "Meg looked at the spatial demon as if he was looking at an idiot.
"You …" The spatial demon choked. What made him even angrier was that this fellow's eyes were filled with undisguised mockery.
Meg sighed and said with a disappointed expression, "When I first came to Carapace Island, I heard that the Ten Kings Palace had managed the entire island well. That's why I came here to open a restaurant. If I still can't guarantee that I can open a restaurant on Carapace Island after buying the highest grade protective amulet, then I can only go to the Ten Kings Palace to ask for an explanation."
"This guy."
The spatial demon and the abyssal demon were both enraged. They were merely the lowest members of the Ten Kings Palace. They could do whatever they wanted on Carapace Island just because they were from one of the top ten tribes and the Ten Kings Palace's name. No one had ever dared to go against them, let alone do something so disrespectful.
However, the protective amulets had brought a lot of income to the top ten tribes over the years. Therefore, the top ten tribes had also consciously regulated the use of the protective amulets. This way, more demons would take the initiative to buy protective amulets.
If this matter reached the headquarters, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Meg. Instead, it would be troublesome.
"I'm warning you. You better behave yourself on Carapace Island. Otherwise, I won't let you have an easy time," the spatial demon warned as he pointed his spatula at Meg.
"I've always been a stickler for rules." Meg smiled as he grabbed the spatula's handle and pulled it back from the spatial demon's hand.
Looking at this spatial demon, he really couldn't get angry at all. After all, he had killed his ancestor in his first battle. The spatial demon tribe's current unstable status was all thanks to him. Looking at this little fellow, he actually felt a little pitiful.
As for that abyssal demon, he would probably be rushing back to attend his chief's funeral in another two days. He wondered if he would still be able to look down on others like he was doing now.
The spatial demon and the abyssal demon were rebuffed. They couldn't find any fault with him, so they could only leave angrily.
Meg looked at the backs of the two demons as they left, and murmured to himself thoughtfully, "Seems like I really have to take advantage of them."
"Boss is so impressive." Jane, who was hiding in the restaurant and secretly watching this scene, looked at Meg with admiration. His neither servile nor overbearing attitude and unyielding confidence made her feel something completely different.
On Carapace Island, all the demons were used to being oppressed by the Ten Kings Palace. She never thought that anyone would dare to resist.
Meg closed the courtyard door and turned to enter the restaurant. He looked at Jane, who was standing at the door, and said with a smile, "Jane, you should take a nap too. Your room is upstairs. I'll bring you up."
"Mm-hm," Jane responded softly. She followed Meg's arrangement and followed him upstairs.
Irina was playing with Amy and Ugly Duckling in the room. Amy's bell-like laughter came from the gap of the door that wasn't closed.
"You'll stay in this room." Meg pushed open a door at the other end of the corridor. It was a simple room with a single bed, a dressing table, and a window that could see the garden at the back. There was a blooming orchid on the windowsill, and there was a faint floral fragrance in the room.
Jane opened her mouth, and only asked Meg after a while, "I … I'm staying here?"
"It's a little small, isn't it?" Meg looked at the small room that could barely fit one more person. He had no choice. This was added by the system at the last minute, and it had already shrunk the space of his study a little. If he continued to expand it, it would be against the system's rules.
"No, it's not." Jane hurriedly shook her head. "You're mistaken. I don't think it's small. I just think this room is too good … I've never stayed in such a good room before. If it's not suitable for me to stay upstairs, I can also sleep on the floor downstairs."
Even the floor downstairs was cleaner than where she used to stay. The most important thing was that it was safe. She felt a sense of security that she had never felt before here.
Meg looked at Jane, who was a little frightened, and suddenly felt a little sorry for her. It was hard to imagine what kind of life this little girl had been living before this.
"This is your room. Rest for a while. You've worked hard at noon, and you may be even busier at night," Meg said gently, and closed the door gently.
"My room …" Jane murmured softly. Her eyes scanned every corner of the room carefully. She reached out and pressed the edge of the bed gently. It was a soft and warm feeling. After hesitating for a while, she sat down gently on the edge of the bed. After a while, she slowly lay back on the bed.
"It's so comfortable."
A smile appeared on Jane's face. It was as warm and soft as if she had fallen into her mother's embrace. A drop of tear fell from the corner of her eye. If she had met Boss earlier, her mother might not have died.
…
"This fellow. I really want to pull out his pincers and stuff them into his nagging mouth," the abyss demon said unhappily as he twisted his neck.
"It's alright. Since that fellow wants to do business on Carapace Island, he will fall into our hands sooner or later." The spatial demon revealed a sinister smile.
