The little golem quietly retreated to a corner with no one around. After witnessing the terrifying aura, it had already begun to mourn for the people in the tavern.
The next moment, Rob's right hand grasped No. 2. Your Honor, the future supreme mage, did not plan to waste any more time here. He did not need to worry about his identity being exposed in the isolated Ao Grimm. Even if these people guessed who he was, it would be useless. The only troublesome thing was Hector.
He had already shown his strength to the little golem, and the latter would definitely tell Merlin everything that had happened here. Rob was always vigilant against the fox-masked man, but he had to think about it after he got out of here.
The most important thing right now was to find Luo Luo. There was a reason why Luo Bu wanted the Lady Boss to be his guide. Firstly, it was because she owned the only tavern in the city, and taverns were a place where crooks mixed with honest folk everywhere. As the owner of the tavern, she had to deal with all kinds of people every day. Her social circle was very wide, so it would naturally be faster to find someone with her help. Secondly, it was because she was beautiful.
Don't get me wrong. Your Honor, the future supreme mage, was not looking for a pretty face to please. Beauty was a weapon for women, but in the lawless Ao Grimm, beauty could also bring disaster.
From the moment Rob stepped into the tavern, he silently observed the other people in the room. The tower-like man was obviously the owner's subordinate. Behind him was the chef who was peeling the rat meat in the kitchen. Like most chefs, he had a round belly. Other than that, there was also an ugly woman who was cutting her nails with a dagger near the window. Your Honor, the future supreme mage, was not sure what her duties were in the tavern, but it was obvious that she was related to the owner. If there was a conflict, she would not hesitate to stand on the latter's side.
The weakest person in the group was the man who stood up with an unfriendly expression, but he was still a grade four professional. The woman with the scar on her face was a grade six thief. Although they were dressed very plainly compared to the outside world, it was obvious that they were in good spirits. At least, they were not starving like the skinny gangsters. This was a sign of strength in Ao Grimm's prison, which was severely lacking in resources.
With them around, it was no wonder that although the customers in the tavern were noisy, none of them dared to cause trouble.
But it was not enough. In a place like Ao Grimm's prison, it was impossible to use pure kindness or benefits to win over subordinates. This was a cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak, and people's desires were always growing. People who would be satisfied with a full meal yesterday might want to eat meat today, and might want to be a master tomorrow.
Kindness was fragile. Rob noticed that the man and the chef also had a trace of greed in their eyes when they looked at the owner, but they only dared to bury that trace of greed in the deepest part of their hearts.
How could a beautiful woman survive in such a dangerous environment? There was only one possibility, and that was that she was strong enough.
Only a lion could intimidate the jackals and wolves, and even make the jackals and wolves their own. A sheep could not control a pack of wolves. The blonde woman in front of him, who was as lazy as a cat, was the most powerful person in this room. Even Luo Bu could not see through her true strength.
The men were ready to make a move, and their figures had already surrounded her.
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, estimated that it would only take about eight or nine seconds to get rid of these people, and that was because he had to focus most of his attention on the golden cat who was smoking behind the bar.
At the same time, the owner was also looking at him curiously with a cigarette in her mouth. It seemed that she wanted to see how he would deal with the terrible situation.
The little golem had already found cover. It squatted down and hugged its head, ready to crawl under the table when the fight started.
Rob's expression was extremely calm from beginning to end. The man's hand was less than two centimeters away from his shoulder.
However, at this moment, the crowd suddenly parted, creating a gap.
This was because the woman with a face full of scars suddenly put down the dagger in her hand, stood up, and walked over. As she took a step forward, the people around her couldn't help but take two steps back. When the burly man saw her, his expression changed. He retracted his hand and obediently stood to the side.
So, the ugly woman walked to the bar, picked up the empty wine glass on the table, snapped her fingers, and said to the golden cat, "Please give me a glass of your best wine."
The owner smiled, took out a bottle of wine made of unknown materials, and poured it into the woman's glass. "Ugly woman, what's your happy event today?"
"No happy events, but there are a lot of funerals. If I don't drink this wine now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to drink it anymore," the woman with a face full of scars said lightly.
The owner was stunned when she heard this, and her smile became a little forced. "Ugly woman, are you joking?"
The ugly woman, who lived up to her name, sighed. "I hope I'm joking too. To be honest, I quite like this place, but a promise is a promise. You said that when I decided to leave, you would settle my salary for this period of time, right?"
The lady boss bit her lip. "Are you going to leave today?"
"Not today. I'm leaving now," the ugly woman emphasized again. "Also, consider this wine a gift from you. Don't count it as my salary."
The lady boss's eyes turned misty, and then she made a gesture that made all the men in the room gulp involuntarily. She took one of the man's hands and placed it on her soft chest. "Are you really that heartless? That's not what you said last night when you were lying on my bed. You said you would protect me forever."
The ugly woman whistled. "I say the same thing to every girl I like, just like every rich guy you hang out with. But the biggest difference between me and them is that although sleeping with you is good, staying alive is more important."
The owner snorted coldly. "You have no balls. Are you going to watch me get bullied by others?"
