When the mutton soup and biscuits were served, everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but gasp.
It smells so good!
Everyone exclaimed in admiration.
As the first customer of the restaurant, Song Shi took her food without a second thought.
The mutton soup was milky white, crescent-shaped pieces of mutton were laid on top. Chopped onions, coriander, chili, and vinegar were placed in four small plates beside the soup.
The biscuit was a pastry, not only golden, but also very crispy.
She took a bite and following a crunch, the crumbs fell off.
If the biscuit was soaked in the mutton soup, it would be even better. The crispiness was still there but the insides were softer. Together with the mutton soup, it was enough to make anyone exclaim how good it was to be alive.
At least the food before their eyes could make them appreciate life more.
Song Shi was exactly like that.
She didn't even care about the customer who just came in.
Every time she ate Starbeck's food, she would forget everything else, leaving only the best in her mind.
She took a bite of the biscuit and drank the soup.
Then, she soaked another piece and put it into her mouth with the meat.
Then, she picked up the vermicelli at the bottom of the bowl and put it into her mouth.
A while later, Song Shi's forehead was drenched in sweat.
She didn't mind at all.
She put down the empty bowl and picked up the second portion.
Amy swallowed her saliva. She found the woman in front of her more and more annoying.
Not only was she prettier than Amy, but she also had clothes that Amy didn't have and ate so much before Amy did.
Chief Teddy was also a little restless.
He looked at the mutton soup and biscuits, trying his best to stay calm.
'It's my turn soon!
It's my turn soon! '
'Don't rush!
The food he was waiting for would be even more delicious!
Chief Teddy told himself.
On the other hand, the last guest was very well-mannered. He sat there without moving, but his nose was sniffing faster and faster.
Food after food was served out from the kitchen.
Soon, Song Shi was full.
She took out her stomach medicine and wanted to eat more, but Li Jiajia didn't care and started to serve Amy, Chief Teddy, and the new customer.
It was similar to the rule of first come, first served, a chef had to learn to follow.
It was a chef's rule to take care of every customer.
Of course, it wasn't taught to her by Starbeck, she learned it herself.
As for the effects?
Amy, Teddy, and the new guest's faces were filled with joy.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Inside the restaurant, under Song Shi's slightly displeased gaze, all that was left was chewing, slurping, and chewing.
Amy was the first to finish eating.
She burped contentedly. Although she really wanted to eat more, she knew that if she didn't want her stomach to hurt tomorrow, it was best to stop now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food tomorrow.
With this reason, Amy forced herself to put down her chopsticks.
The same goes for Sheriff Teddy.
The chief officer looked at the empty bowl in front of him longingly. He really wanted another bowl, but when he felt the money in his pocket, he had no choice but to give up.
The sheriff's salary was good, but he was still suspended, so he didn't get paid at all.
As for accumulating?
Stop joking.
As a loner of the Moonlight Clan, how could he have any savings?
As for part-time herders?
Even though he was quite strong, he still had to go through some necessary procedures.
In simple words, he was still an assistant and couldn't go on missions on his own, so he still had no money.
Sigh!
After a heavy sigh, Teddy thought about how he should allocate his salary for the next month. He couldn't spend as he pleased anymore, otherwise, he wouldn't even have enough for a full meal.
As the thought lingered in his mind, Teddy looked at the new guest.
The new guest was still eating.
Compared to Song Shi and Amy who gobbled down their food, the new guest was very refined.
He didn't just chew slowly, his posture was elegant as well.
Coupled with his handsome face, it was safe to say that he looked more like someone born in a big family than Song Shi, the young lady of the family.
Even though his clothes were tattered.
Unconsciously, everyone's eyes were on the guest.
Without a doubt, the new guest felt the gazes, blushing a little, but he didn't avoid them because his attention was captivated by the food in front of him.
Delicious!
Too delicious!
He never thought there would be such delicious food in front of him.
Compared to the mutton soup and flatbread, all the food he had in the past was pig's food!
No!
Not even pigs should eat food like this!
Those bastards who wasted stones!
It was rare for him to complain about the chefs in his heart.
Complain.
It was an emotion that should never appear in his heart.
However, he didn't care about it at all.
The food in front of him made him toss his unusual thoughts out of his mind.
"One more please!"
He said loudly.
It was similar to the complaints that shouldn't have appeared.
His voice had also unknowingly gone up in pitch.
"I'm sorry, sir.
I'm out of ingredients for the day.
If you want more, please come early tomorrow. "
Li Jiajia said in an apologetic tone.
The mutton today was the leftovers from breakfast, the best part was eaten by her boss, so there wouldn't be much left.
"Is that so?"
The new guest said in a slightly dejected tone.
However, he smiled right away.
"I'll come early tomorrow."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of notes and placed them on the counter. He nodded at Song Shi, Amy, and Teddy before he walked out.
He waited until he was out of sight.
Song Shi's furrowed brows didn't loosen.
Likewise, Chief Teddy was also puzzled by the situation.
He sensed an aura similar to that of a freak.
But …
It didn't feel like it.
As a Herder who hadn't gone on a mission alone, he was quite vigilant. Therefore, he didn't make a move right away, instead, he wanted to ask someone more professional.
"See you tomorrow."
Chief Teddy stood up and left.
Li Jiajia nodded and didn't say anything else.
They were regulars, so there was no need for excessive courtesy.
Just as Chief Teddy was about to open the door, Song Shi, who had been quiet and furrowed brows, spoke.
"I suggest you don't investigate him."
Song Shi then nodded at Li Jiajia and walked out of the restaurant.
Chief Teddy was stunned.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Song Shi, he acknowledged her strength, especially when he heard what Song Shi's family represented from Huai Cuike, he understood the gap between them.
However, he saw anxiety and worry on Song Shi's face.
'Who is that guy?'
Chief Teddy was even more curious.
Without stopping, Chief Teddy disappeared into the night.
Amy, who was a reporter, wasn't an idiot.
Observing people's expressions was a basic skill.
Her sharp senses noticed something wasn't right.
"What's going on?"
Amy asked.
"I don't know."
Li Jiajia answered, but the voice in her mind was howling loudly.
"Go tell your boss!
Go tell him!
This is what he is looking forward to!
If he is satisfied, we will all be safe! "
The howl made Li Jiajia frown.
"Are you afraid of him?"
Li Jiajia asked in her heart.
"No!
I respect him!
He is a respectable big shot! "
The voice said in a powerful and resonant voice.
Li Jiajia's mouth twitched.
It was the first time she heard someone speak from the heart in such a righteous manner.
She didn't want to talk to the voice in her head anymore.
She felt that it was too embarrassing.
What prophet? What sage?
They were all liars who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
They weren't as respectable as the chef.
"What's wrong?"
Amy noticed Li Jiajia's unusual behavior.
"Nothing."
Li Jiajia shook her head. Amy didn't press further. As Kieran's temporary assistant, she had seen a lot of things that normal people couldn't know.
Even she herself had become abnormal.
Therefore, she knew anything happening around Kieran wasn't strange at all.
Including Li Jiajia.
She also knew that if she wanted to be safe, staying here was the best choice.
Moreover, Kelly Madden, Tom, and Jerry also strongly requested to stay.
"I think it's dangerous to go out!"
After realizing there were no outsiders, Kelly Madden appeared in her spirit form. Tom and Jerry, on the other hand, squatted down beside Kelly Madden in their spirit form.
Elite Hound looked up and glanced over the two spirits.
It then opened its mouth wide, yawned, and climbed down again.
It had seen two and a half of its kind.
Although they were living a decent life, compared to Elite Hound … Tsk, two pitiful fellas, they wouldn't even be able to eat bones.
With an unknown sense of superiority, Elite Hound closed its eyes.
"Got it!"
Amy's trust in Kelly Madden allowed her to stand up and walk to a corner of the restaurant. She pulled a chair over and laid down on it, as if she was very skilled.
Li Jiajia didn't stop her.
She knew as Kieran's temporary assistant, Amy would have a place to stay in the restaurant.
Just like her.
After placing all the items on the bar counter, Li Jiajia walked to the door of the restaurant, ready to take back the small blackboard. Although it wasn't time to close the restaurant, there was no more food, so the small blackboard wasn't suitable to be hung outside.
Just as she picked up the small blackboard —
KABOOM!
An explosion came from afar!
It was very far away, but the explosion was too powerful.
Li Jiajia didn't just hear the explosion clearly, she also felt the ground tremble.
"Is that the outskirts?"
Li Jiajia looked at the place where the explosion happened, frowning. She took the blackboard and walked back.
For Li Jiajia, no matter what happened, as long as it didn't happen in front of her and affect her, she didn't need to care.
However, not everyone could be as calm as Li Jiajia.
Huai Cuike and Bain looked at the monsters that surrounded them with a heavy expression. The guards of Song Shi Family were overflowing with killer intents, they knew a battle would break out at any moment.
However, their side was at an absolute disadvantage.
Mian Yi had entered the underground crater a few hours ago.
Not to mention the terrifying explosion just now.
The whole Roze Farm was blasted into the sky, the fortifications that Song Shi Family built on the ground were completely destroyed, all that was left was a huge crater with a diameter of more than a hundred meters.
In fact, if it wasn't for Mian Yi's warning, all of them who were standing on the ground would have been crushed into pieces.
Although they were spared from being crushed into pieces, the danger wasn't over yet.
Quite the contrary, the danger was getting worse.
Mian Yi was out of contact!
Song Shi Family wanted to contact Mian Yi again, but after the explosion, all communication methods were rendered useless.
This made the monsters, who were already eager to make a move, surround them immediately.
"Back off!"
Song Shi Family's guard shouted.
The guard captain even pulled out his longsword.
The secret imprint on the blade shone with a scarlet radiance. However, this radiance, which was enough to strike fear into the hearts of the freaks, did not frighten them.
The monsters didn't back off, instead, they laughed coldly.
"Mian Yi should be crushed into pieces right?"
"Victor and the treasure are ours!"
"Yeah!"
"So what if you are Song Shi Family?"
"We caught Victor and got the treasure of Ring City, when you realize what's going on, we will be gone!"
Restless voices rang out from the group of freaks.
The monsters that were already eyeing the guards revealed their fangs and claws one after another.
One of the freaks suddenly roared.
"Charge!"
As though they had broken through the tipping point, the monsters swarmed towards the guards of Song Shi Family like a tidal wave crashing into a boulder.
KABOOM!
The moment the two sides collided, the sound of flesh and blood splattering and bones shattering rang out incessantly.
The defense line formed by Song Shi Family's imperial guards was torn apart in an instant.
It wasn't that Song Shi Family's guards weren't strong enough, but there were too many of them.
There were less than 50 Song Shi Family imperial guards and they were facing enemies that were 10 or 20 times larger than them. Some of the special monsters that could ignore physical attacks dealt a great deal of damage to the sword-wielding imperial guards of Song Shi Family. Although the sword in the chief guard's hand could compensate for the weakness, the sword-wielding imperial guards of Song Shi Family suffered a great deal of damage.
But it was useless.
That was because there were even more Anomalies surrounding him. It was almost impenetrable.
This guard captain had absolutely no room to provide support.
The magic guns in Huai Cuike and Bain's hands kept firing, but it was not enough.
Not only did the opening not shrink, but it also grew larger and larger.
On top of that, they were being pushed back by the monsters.
Huai Cuike's face turned sour when he saw the hole getting closer.
He could guess what these monsters were trying to do.
Banish them into the hole.
Be it falling to his death or lingering on his last breath to explore the way, these monsters were happy to see it happen.
"Damn it!"
Ben gritted his teeth and took out another magic grenade.
KABOOM!
The explosion of the magic grenade cleared a large group of monsters, but more quickly filled the gap and charged towards the guards in a frenzied manner.
Even when Ben tossed out another magic grenade, it was no exception.
Ben's face turned uglier by the second.
It wasn't just because it was the last magic grenade he had on him.
It was also because …
He heard an agonizing cry!
It was the cry of the guard captain of Song Shi Family!
Ben heard it, Huai Cuike heard it too, and so did the imperial guards around him.
The morale of the defending side fell to rock bottom.
Huai Cuike looked around, his heart filled with helplessness. He knew he couldn't hold on any longer.
If he continued to defend, everyone would die here.
"Retreat!
Everyone, retreat! "
Huai Cuike shouted without a second thought.
Then, the old Herder fired both his pistols in succession, using stronger firepower to attract more attention from the monsters and buy time for the people around him to retreat.
Unfortunately, the monsters around him didn't care about the elderly Herder at all.
"Trying to run?
Don't worry.
None of you will get away! "
One of the monsters said with a cold laugh.
The few monsters standing beside it cackled at the same time.
"Kakaka … Ugh!"
However, at the next moment, the weird laughs stopped abruptly.
The monsters couldn't laugh anymore as if their necks were choked.
Not just the monsters, even the monsters that were slaughtering the monsters suffered the same fate.
It was as if they were immobilized by a spell.
They stood there, not moving at all.
Then …
Puk!
Blood gushed up to the sky from the monsters' bodies.
Thousands of monsters turned into thousands of fountains of blood.
A handsome man in tattered clothes, his leather shoes stained with mud, was walking slowly in the fountains of blood. He ignored the blood and bodies around him, his eyes were calm and his expression was kind.
Huai Cuike and Ben were overjoyed when they saw the handsome man.
"Lord Anna."
The two Herders straightened their bodies and bowed at the same time.
