Song Shi looked at Kieran.
When she made sure Kieran wasn't joking, she couldn't help but pout.
"Do you know what you will face?
Even if you are the reincarnation of the God of Slaughter … "
"Forget it, if you die, I'll take care of your little brother for you."
A smile appeared on Song Shi's face as she spoke.
She thought it was a decent outcome.
Compared to Kieran, the big brother, Starbeck, the little brother, was much more likable.
Starbeck was good-looking, he looked even better when he smiled, he was a good cook, and he looked clean and smart. It was enough to move her heart.
If it wasn't for the vicious big brother, she would have snatched him back.
Now that the vicious big brother had a death wish, what reason did she have to stop him?
It would be better if he died!
She could have her little brother all to herself!
Of course, given how those bastards did things, it wouldn't be hard for them to protect their little brother.
But she wasn't alone.
She had a father!
If she couldn't handle it, her father could!
Song Shi's mood was better than ever in an instant.
But immediately, a roar came from behind her.
"My lady!
"Please watch your words!"
I'm sorry, Sir Royan, it's our fault for not disciplining our lady!
Please forgive us! "
Mian Yi, who was at the alley entrance, heard his lady's words. He didn't care about Song Shi Family's etiquette anymore and appeared in the restaurant in a flash.
As he spoke, he took out a money pouch with both hands.
Kieran could clearly hear the rustling of the Ferry Coins in the pouch.
Without weighing it with his hand or opening it, Kieran was certain there were 10 Crossing Silver Coins in the pouch.
The friction of copper, silver, and gold Crossing Silver Coins were entirely different.
Each time they rubbed against each other, it was slightly different as well.
A slight calculation later, Kieran was able to get a rough figure.
It was a piece of cake for Kieran.
It wasn't just because of his powerful Intuition and Spirit, but also because he had an extraordinary sensitivity to money. For example, he could smell a large amount of money on Mian Yi.
Kieran took the bag of money and put it into his bosom.
Mian Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at his young miss helplessly.
He knew that his young mistress's words of 'I will never provoke Royan' were unreliable. Fortunately, he came quickly, or else his young mistress would have been roasted.
Sometimes, Mian Yi really wanted to tell his lady about the predicament Song Shi Family was facing.
But when he thought of his young mistress's character …
Sigh!
Song Shi heaved a long sigh in her heart before she passed the notes her young miss had requested.
"I want another 10 servings!"
Song Shi, who was puffing up her cheeks like a bun, cheered when she saw the money. She slammed all the notes on the table.
After Kieran counted it, he silently put the money into the money box.
Li Jiajia, who was standing behind Kieran, was dumbfounded.
Twenty thousand!
Another twenty thousand!
She had just received twenty thousand!
Now she had received twenty thousand … forty thousand!
How long had it been?
As expected, a chef was the best choice!
Li Jiajia calculated in her heart and her body was filled with motivation. She didn't need to be told to run into the kitchen.
She swore she would learn Starbeck's cooking!
All she had to do was learn Starbeck's cooking!
Not only would she not have to worry about food and clothing, she would also reach the peak of her life!
Elite Hound, on the other hand, was yawning as it crawled on the ground. It glanced over Song Shi and Mian Yi in boredom, its eyes showing arrogance and contempt.
It admitted that Kieran was stronger than it.
However, it had Master No. 1 with it, it wasn't afraid of Kieran.
More so, Kieran had to spend money to eat Master No. 2's food, Elite Hound didn't need it.
The Elite Hound felt a sense of superiority from the bottom of its heart. It felt more and more like following its Masters No. 1 and No. 2 was the wisest decision it had ever made in its dog life.
"That dog is a little strange!
It seems to be looking down on me! "
Song Shi said to Mian Yi beside her.
"Miss, are you seeing things?
"However, this dog is indeed unusual. It should be an evil dog in the Witchcraft Art, and it's not just an ordinary 'evil dog'."
Being able to tame such a Hound, it proves that Sir Royan is quite powerful, so you must … "
Mian Yi started to advise Song Shi again as he spoke.
Song Shi rolled a white eye at the advice and turned away.
Too naggy!
Too annoying!
Of course she knew Royan was scary, didn't he see her holding back the urge to snatch Kieran away?
Damn it!
The frustration in Song Shi's heart battered her in waves, but soon enough, when the lobster risotto was served, Song Shi's face was filled with joy.
Not just Song Shi, even Mian Yi beside her was slightly stunned.
He really didn't expect Kieran's restaurant to be able to cook food of this level.
He didn't give Water Purity Stone to Kieran because he noticed something unusual, he saw Kieran was running a restaurant, that's why he gave it to Kieran.
"I didn't expect there to be such amazing cooking!"
Mian Yi unconsciously took a second glance at Starbeck.
He had a decent look and temperament.
Unfortunately …
Other than his cooking, he was good for nothing.
It was hard to survive in this cruel world.
Mian Yi sighed in his heart, stepping back and waiting for Song Shi to finish her meal.
The secret digestive tablet whetted Song Shi's appetite again.
Another 10 servings later, Song Shi tapped her stomach in satisfaction. Her eyes skipped over Kieran and landed on Starbeck, showing a heartfelt smile.
"I'll go back first.
I'll be back tomorrow. "
Song Shi then walked out of the room.
Teddy, who was squatting at the entrance, saw Song Shi come out. He showed a cold face and wanted to stand up, but Song Shi stopped him.
"What are you doing?"
Teddy asked coldly.
He wasn't afraid of Song Shi.
It wasn't just because this was Kieran's turf, it was also because of his own personality.
With his small body, if he couldn't be fearless, how could he send those vicious bastards to prison?
However, to Teddy's surprise, Song Shi said in a serious tone when she saw Teddy's attitude.
"Thank you."
Teddy was stunned.
'Did she eat something wrong?
Why would she thank me? '
Teddy looked at Song Shi in shock.
"I want to thank you for helping me find what I've been looking for. So, to thank you, I'm going to let you get what you need 10 years of hard work in advance."
Song Shi then tapped Teddy's hands with her finger.
Teddy wanted to dodge, but he couldn't.
When Song Shi's finger touched his hands, a burning and numbing sensation came from his palms.
A moment later …
Fuuu!
Pak Pak Pak!
His left hand was covered in a ball of fire, burning fiercely.
His right hand was surrounded by electric currents, dancing back and forth.
Teddy was stunned on the spot when he saw the scene, unable to react for quite some time.
When he came back to his senses and wanted to talk to Song Shi, she was already gone. Instead, Huai Cuike, whom he had met a few times, was standing in front of him, sizing him up.
"Good evening, Mr. Huai Cuike."
Teddy greeted him politely.
It wasn't just because of Huai Cuike's age, it was also because he admired what Huai Cuike did as a Herder from the bottom of his heart.
The difference was that Huai Cuike dealt with common cases.
As for Huai Cuike?
He dealt with the mystical realm.
It was a lot more dangerous.
"I told you before, Miss Song Shi doesn't mean any harm.
She's just playing a prank on you.
She'll even compensate you — now that you've received your compensation, how do you feel? "
Huai Cuike smiled.
"Not bad.
At least I don't have to bring an electric baton and a high-temperature lighter when I go out anymore. "
Teddy said with a shrug.
The cold humor made Huai Cuike laugh, he tapped Teddy's shoulder and walked back into the restaurant.
Although he really wanted to ask Teddy whether he wanted to become a Herder, he knew being hasty wouldn't get you anywhere.
More so, he had something more important to attend to at the moment.
"Aaah!"
Amy, who was communicating with Kelly at the corner of the restaurant, cried out in shock when she saw the fire and electric currents on Teddy's hands.
When she understood from Kelly, she was even more envious.
"You are really a lucky fella!"
Amy said.
"If you knew that I was dragged around like a dog for a few days, you wouldn't say that!"
Teddy argued.
"You were dragged around like a dog for a few days after you acquired such powers?
Believe me, there are a lot of people who are willing to be dragged around like a dog in order to acquire such powers.
Don't even mention being dragged around like a dog.
Eating dog sh * t is fine too! "
Amy widened her eyes.
She knew about Teddy's changes from Kelly, she couldn't imagine that Teddy paid such a small price to acquire such extraordinary powers.
Teddy raised a brow at Amy's words.
He opened his mouth to refute.
However, when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back.
He did care about such things.
But some people really didn't care.
The Witchcraft practitioners that he came into contact with before, in order to acquire power, what kind of insane things wouldn't they do?
Let alone eating dog sh * t.
Killing and dismembering were common.
He had been through it before.
He was lucky enough to escape.
What about those unlucky ones?
Their souls couldn't even rest in peace.
'Should I … help them?'
'I didn't have the power before.
Now? '
Teddy looked down at the fire in his left hand and the electric currents in his right, falling into deep thought.
Kieran stood behind the counter and glanced over Teddy. He sensed that Teddy's body was at the peak of a common man's level and the weak to average fire and electric currents, but he didn't say anything.
Everyone had their own choices.
Some were good, some were bad.
When it was one's own choice, others couldn't interfere.
Similar to the final outcome, one had to bear it himself, not sharing it with others.
"Not bad, isn't he?"
Huai Cuike said.
Kieran didn't refute.
Being righteous was better than being evil.
Especially under the premise that he wasn't reckless or arbitrary.
Kieran didn't mind having more people like Kieran.
"Is it because of the Battle of Winter Night?"
Kieran asked straightforwardly.
"Em.
Miss Song Shi must be eager to tell you, but Royan, you aren't a real Herder, you are here representing the East Sector to participate in the Battle of Winter Night because of a trade. Now that the rules of the Battle of Winter Night have changed, we won't and can't force you to participate.
So, I'm here to ask if you are willing to participate in the Battle of Winter Night.
Of course, we won't ask for the deposit back, it's not your fault, it's just an accident. "
Huai Cuike nodded and said honestly.
Although he didn't have much contact with Kieran, Huai Cuike's experience allowed him to judge what kind of person Kieran was.
Beating around the bush against a person like Kieran wasn't a wise decision.
Going straight to the point and treating Kieran with sincerity was the best choice.
Besides, Huai Cuike was being sincere.
Whether Kieran would participate in the Battle of Winter Night or not, Huai Cuike would accept it.
Just like what he said, the changes this time were an accident, he wouldn't and couldn't force a young man to risk his life.
Kieran picked up the water bottle beside him and poured a cup of water for Huai Cuike before saying, "I'll go as promised."
Huai Cuike went silent for a while after he took the cup.
"I'll try my best to compensate you.
Although the East Sector isn't rich, if we dig into our pockets, we might be able to get something. "
Huai Cuike said.
Humans were always mutual.
When conditions changed, some things would have to change.
For example, pay.
Kieran didn't reject the offer.
He thought he was worth the price.
"I'll try my best to understand everything about the Battle of Winter Night.
Then I'll send it to you. "
"Where's Bain?"
Huai Cuike promised. He then realized Bain, whom he left behind, wasn't around.
"I don't know."
Kieran said honestly.
Huai Cuike frowned.
Most of the Herders in the East Sector were reliable, but there were some who weren't.
Bain was one of them.
As for the other?
Huai Cuike glanced at Kieran and temporarily removed that name from his mind.
After all, with such a good junior around, some trivial matters weren't important anymore.
Huai Cuike took out his communicator and wanted to call Bain back.
He wasn't scolding Bain, he just reminded him of his duty.
It was then that Huai Cuike saw Li Jiajia coming out of the kitchen. The seedling that Huai Cuike had high hopes for was wearing an apron and was happily carrying the washed dishes.
A hardworking girl.
With a little bit of guidance, she would become a powerful Herder.
Huai Cuike showed gratification on his face.
But soon enough, the gratification froze.
"Teacher, when will the slicing and dicing technique end?"
"How good are you at teaching me seasoning?"
And today's lobster risotto, is there a secret recipe? "
…
Teacher?
Knife skills?
Seasoning?
Secret recipe?
She was the equivalent of a chef?!
The seedling that he had high hopes for was going to be a chef?
What the hell happened?
Huai Cuike looked at Kieran with dull eyes, as if he was looking for an answer. Kieran didn't even look at him, he continued to read the magazine in his hand.
Huai Cuike contacted Bain when he couldn't get an answer.
"Where are you?"
"The hot dog stall on the street next to the restaurant, the hot dogs here are great! Huai Cuike, do you want one?"
"Em.
Wait for me. "
Huai Cuike hung up the communicator, trying his best to hold himself back, veins popping up on the back of his hand.
"Royan, I have something to deal with, I'll be back soon."
Kieran gestured for him to go ahead.
Huai Cuike then left.
About a minute later, a faintly discernible scream suddenly spread into the restaurant, mixed with some angry roars and the sound of hitting.
"Who told you to eat hot dogs?
Who told you not to look after your own student?
Who told you to be greedy?
Who told you to mislead a sage, a prophet into the wrong path? "
