"That's a total of … … 178,642 copper coins! Miss, we're rich! "
Mara put the last copper coin into the money box and looked at Efie with surprise.
She had followed Efie for more than ten years. She had seen Efie run a tavern by herself and sell cheap drinks. After working hard for a day, she only earned two to three thousand copper coins.
But today, when they opened for business, they actually received so much money in one go.
She had never seen so much cash in front of her in her entire life.
Efie took out a dragon coin from the money box and gently blew on it. She put it next to her ear and listened to the pleasant sound of the money. She also smiled and said: "In the future, we will have this much every day. Our good days are coming."
No one would think that having too much money was a problem, right?
"So much money, where are we going to put it?" Mara asked.
In the past, they only had a few thousand copper coins a day. They could easily carry it upstairs and it was only enough to maintain the tavern's operation.
Now that they suddenly had such a huge amount of money, it was unrealistic to carry it upstairs. They would have to carry it back and forth a few times.
Moreover, it didn't seem safe to just leave it in the room.
Efie thought for a moment and said: "Let's put it in the wine cellar for the time being. When we have one million copper coins, we will exchange it for banknotes from Buffett Bank."
"Okay." Mara picked up the box full of dragon coins and gold coins and prepared to move the most valuable box to the wine cellar.
"Dong dong!"
At this time, a heavy knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Who is it?"
Efie and Mara were stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of the door.
Bang!
The wooden door that was protected by a magic barrier was knocked open. A fierce-looking man with a huge axe in his hand jumped in and looked at Efie and Mara with a hideous smile.
"Who are you?! What do you want?! "Mara shouted loudly.
"Run!" Efie looked at the man and her face turned white. She grabbed Mara and ran towards the back of the tavern.
Mara lost her grip on the money box, and the dragon coins and gold coins fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.
"Hehe, little girl, where are you running! Give all the money to me and let me have a good time. I won't kill you! " The burly man grinned as he chased after Efie and the others with large strides, knocking aside all the tables and chairs along the way.
Eiffel pulled Mara into the winery, pulled open the cellar door, and pushed Mara in. Then, she jumped down and pulled the heavy cellar door down with all her strength.
The moment the door of the cellar fell, she saw a huge axe raised high and then smashed down.
Bang!
A muffled sound reverberated in the cellar. Ai Fei's hand was numb from the shock. He quickly loosened his grip on the handle.
Mara fell to the floor of the wine cellar. Her beautiful face turned pale and her voice trembled as she said, "Miss … Miss … What is he doing?"
Seeing that the defensive magic circle had been activated, Ai Fei's face relaxed a little. He came down from the escalator, squatted on the ground, hugged Mara, and patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, the cellar is safe, he can't come in."
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A muffled sound of collision came from the cellar door. The defensive formation was shaking, and sand and dust fell down from the cracks.
Eiffel hugged Mara. Her expression was serious, and her face was also pale.
The memories that she had thrown to the back of her mind once again came rushing back.
It was still this wine cellar. Back then, her father used all his strength to put her in the cellar, and then used his body to block the entrance of the cellar.
That was the most terrifying scene she had seen in her life. Her father was hacked to death in front of the cellar by that thug with an axe. His blood seeped into the cellar and dripped into the dark cellar.
Then, that thug crazily smashed the cellar door for more than ten minutes before unwillingly leaving.
At that time, she was young and could only cry in fear in the corner, hoping that someone would open the cellar door and save her.
Fifteen years later, when Titan Winery was about to return to normal, the same thing happened again.
The light of the defensive barrier was dimming, and the sound of the door being smashed was getting louder and louder.
Eiffel hugged Mara tightly. The fear that made her body cold came again.
What was different from fifteen years ago was that she was no longer a child. There was a dim yellow light in the cellar, and Mara was trembling in her arms.
"Miss, he ….. Does he want to kill us?" Mara's eyes were full of fear. She looked up at Eiffel and asked.
"It's okay." Eiffel hugged her a little tighter.
She knew that the person outside was probably coming for them.
The money was all outside, a full 170,000 copper coins.
If he came for the money, he could just take it away.
But he was wasting time and energy to attack the cellar. It was clear that his goal was not only the money, but also them.
Thinking that she would fall into the hands of such a ferocious and terrifying man, Eiffel's heart turned cold.
The two of them snuggled up to each other in the cellar, praying that someone would hear the sound and come to scare away the thug outside.
But there were no residents around the winery. It was late at night, so no one would be able to hear the sound here.
Eiffel thought of Mr. Hades who lived across the street, but after thinking about it, she gave up on this idea.
Although Mr. Hades was a man full of wisdom, he was not a strong man. Moreover, he had two children and a beautiful wife.
She was definitely not willing to let him and his family suffer any harm because of her.
She was very clear that this kind of thug would not care who appeared in the winery.
… …
"Father, it seems like someone is causing trouble in the winery across the street?" Amy, who was wearing bear pajamas, opened the curtains and looked at the Titan Winery across the street.
"Yes, it seems like a bad guy went in. Meg, do you want to go beat the bad guy together?" Meg, who was wearing a bathrobe, used a towel to dry his hair and asked with a smile.
He had just put on a lather when he noticed the movement across the street.
But he was sure that Eiffel and the others had already entered the wine cellar, and the thug had not broken through the magic barrier of the wine cellar yet. So he was not in a hurry to put on a show of being naked and saving the damsel in distress. Instead, he quickly took a shower and put on a bathrobe.
"Okay, okay! Amy loves beating bad guys the most. "Amy's eyes lit up, and she nodded her little head repeatedly.
She looked around and picked up a small folding chair in the corner. She waved it around and nodded with satisfaction. She looked at Meg and said, "Let's go!"
Meg looked at her folding chair and raised his eyebrows. This mother and daughter pair had very similar preferences.
"Okay, let's go." Meg stepped on a pair of slippers, opened the window, and jumped down from the second floor.
Amy picked up the folding chair and also jumped down from the second floor.
The father and daughter pair, who were wearing pajamas, walked into the shattered Titan Winery.
