Just as Hui Gui was about to say something, Zhou Wen had already pulled him in.
Although he didn't think much of these people, he couldn't possibly cause a bloodbath in Hui Haifeng's territory.
After entering the izakaya, Zhou Wen realized that it was deserted. Apart from a male bartender and a female attendant, there wasn't a single customer.
"Little friend, what would you like to drink?" A girl in a bunny costume walked over and bent down to ask Hui Gui with a smile.
"I'm not drinking anything. I'm here to look for Ah Cai. Is she here?" Hui Gui said.
"Give him a cup of hot milk," the bartender said.
The bunny maiden responded and quickly placed a cup of hot milk in front of Hui Gui. "Little friend, try it. It's delicious."
"What would you like to drink?" the bunny maiden asked Zhou Wen.
"What do you have?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Hot milk, iced milk, and yogurt," the bunny maiden answered.
"Isn't this an izakaya?" Zhou Wen looked at the bunny maiden in puzzlement. Why was it all about milk? Was this an izakaya or a milk shop?
"First time at Fireworks Alley?" the bunny maiden asked.
"It's my first time here." Zhou Wen nodded.
"No wonder. Didn't you see that our shop's name is Izakaya? It means that we don't sell alcohol. We only sell milk products here, "the bunny maiden explained.
"Fireworks Alley sells milk …" Zhou Wen's expression was somewhat odd. This was the first time he had heard of such a shop. Furthermore, it was opened in a place like Fireworks Alley. It would be a wonder if business was good. It was no wonder it was so deserted.
"Then give me a cup of hot milk." Zhou Wen had no choice but to order a cup of hot milk.
Just as the bunny maiden brought the milk over, the people outside had already blocked the izakaya's entrance, blocking it completely.
"Hand him over." Zhou Wen heard someone shouting outside.
However, it wasn't a random shout. Only a leader was speaking.
"Hand him over?" the middle-aged man standing at the door said coldly.
"Old Demon, stop pretending. Do you think we are all blind?" The moment the leader said that, the crowd behind him immediately became enraged. Instantly, the shouts shook the sky as though the black mass of people was about to rush in.
"Is it convenient for us to stay here?" Zhou Wen asked the bartender. He could naturally tell that this wasn't an izakaya. In fact, the bartender was in charge. Perhaps he was the boss.
"You ordered the milk, so you are my customers. No one can bully my customers in my restaurant," the bartender said calmly.
"But something doesn't seem right outside." Zhou Wen heard the commotion outside.
The bartender looked at the door and said, "Old Devil, let them in."
The bartender's words silenced the clamor outside.
After a while, the old monster led the leader in, but he was the only one who came in. There were so many people outside, but they just stood outside, no one dared to come in.
"Milkman," the leader called out to the bartender with a forced smile.
"Brother Jin, they are just two ignorant children. They don't mean any harm. Don't embarrass them," said Brother Milk.
"Milk bro, aren't you giving me too much credit? Just call me Old Jin. Since you have spoken, I won't say anything else. I can let them go. However, Brother Milk, don't make things difficult for us. We can't let them stay in Fireworks Alley anymore, "Old Jin said.
Before Brother Milk could say a word, Hui Wan directly said, "Why can't I stay in Fireworks Alley? I want to find Ah Cai. I won't leave until I find her. "
"Brother Milk, as you can see, it's not that we don't know what's good for us. It's just that we can't explain ourselves when we return," Old Jin said with a bitter expression.
"Sorry to trouble you. Give me some more time," Brother Milk said as he looked at Zhou Wen. "Shouldn't you take him back?"
"It's none of my business if he wants to come or go," Zhou Wen said with a shrug. He was just a bystander. The commotion seemed to be getting more and more interesting. Brother Milk was taken aback when he heard that.
Old Jin was sensible. Upon seeing this situation, he stood up and said, "How about this, Brother Milk? I'll wait for you outside. I reckon that my lord won't be able to rush over in half an hour. After half an hour, I really can't guarantee anything. You know my lord's temper."
"Sorry to trouble you, Old Jin," Brother Milk said.
"Brother Milk, what are you saying? It's only right," Old Jin said as he left the izakaya. However, he didn't leave and got someone to wait outside.
"Are you really not leaving?" Brother Milk asked Zhou Wen.
"You'll have to ask him." Zhou Wen pointed at Hui Wan.
"I'm not leaving. I won't go back until I find Ah Cai," Hui Wan said firmly.
"You're not from the Hui family?" Brother Milk asked Zhou Wen.
"No." Zhou Wen nodded.
Brother Milk said, "Regardless of whether you are from the Hui family or not, since you brought him here, you have the obligation to bring him back safely. Leave now. You heard what Old Jin said. In half an hour, if that person really comes, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to leave. "
"It's just finding someone. Is there a need to go this far? This child is from the Hui family, "Zhou Wen said.
The old demon said coldly, "From the looks of it, you are a hothead who doesn't know anything. It's the Hui family that's in danger. Why would the Hui family let someone like you bring a child out?"
"I was just about to ask. What's going on?" Zhou Wen was also extremely curious.
Hui Haifeng was now the Federation President, and Holy City was now the Hui family's territory. It was too strange for him to say that the Hui family was in danger.
"You really don't know anything? As the old saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. "The bunny maiden chuckled as she recounted the events that had transpired.
Zhou Wen's jaw nearly dropped when he heard that. He never expected such a thing to happen.
Someone had actually gone to the Hui family to snatch a woman, and the Hui family didn't dare come to get her. The woman who had been snatched was the Ah Cai that Hui Wan had mentioned. The person who snatched her was the owner of Fireworks Alley. No one knew his real name. All they knew was that he had a nickname — Faceless Buddha.
"Is it possible for someone to snatch a woman from the President's house, and the President doesn't dare come to get her?" Zhou Wen felt like he was listening to a fantasy story.
"It's not possible, it's a fact. Don't underestimate Fireworks Alley. This is the underground market of Holy City. Countless good items flow here from all over the Federation every day. The volume is unimaginable. If the President is the ruler of Holy City during the day, then Faceless Buddha is the king of Holy City at night. " The old demon snorted and said, "Old Jin and the rest are giving you a chance to leave Fireworks Alley on account of Brother Milk. If you don't leave now, when that Faceless Buddha comes, it won't matter even if you have the face of God. Even if Hui Haifeng comes personally, he might not be able to bring you back."
