When Sassoux arrived at the Red River Hotel, he saw a figure sneaking around the corner of the alley. He recognized that it was his old friend, Michel, and hurried over.
Perhaps Michel was too focused, but he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He only reacted when Sassoux tapped him on the shoulder.
"Michel, what are you doing?"
"Shh …" Michel raised his index finger and continued to look at the street. Then, he suddenly turned back. "Sassoux?"
"What? Don't you recognize me? "Sassoux was amused.
"Let me ask you, is that Morrisons really your friend?" Michel grabbed Sassoux's collar.
"Yes."
"Those friends of yours are not good people!" Michel said angrily.
"Michel, what's wrong?" Sassoux looked displeased. "Don't slander others!"
"You don't believe me?! Hmph … You wait here with me. Watch how I expose their true colors! " Michel turned around again and looked at the street. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Damn it! I was kind enough to entertain you, but you purposely harmed me … Just wait and see! "
"Michel, what did they do to make you so angry?!"
"What did they do?" The veins on Michel's forehead bulged. "If they hate my cooking, they can say it out loud. How can they harm others like this? I made a plate of roast meat, and they threw it away. Then, they made me cook again. When I was done, they threw it away again, and then … "
"I understand now!" Sassoux suddenly understood. He smiled bitterly. "There's a guy called Raphael among them. He has a huge appetite. Actually …"
"Bullshit!" Michel jumped up. "I've already used hundreds of pounds of beef. The cellar is half empty. Sassoux, you want to help them lie to me?!"
"You won't believe me even if I explain it to you. Let's go. I'll take you to them." Sassoux grabbed Michel's hand.
"No!" Michel shook Sassoux off. "I have to catch them!"
While the two were quarreling, a figure pulled open the door of the hotel and walked out quickly. It was Moxinke, with a big plate in his hand. He walked to the opposite side of the street, threw all the things on the plate into the gutter, and then turned around and walked back to the hotel.
"Stop right there!" Michelle, who caught him in the act, seemed to have taken a stimulant and rushed out with a roar.
Morrisons was shocked. "Sassoux, you're back. Michel, you —"
"Do you have a conscience? Despicable! Shameless! "Michel roared angrily.
"What?" Morrisons asked, confused.
Michel's accumulated anger exploded. A string of words shot out of his mouth like arrows, condemning Morrisons and the others' unjust behavior. His voice was loud and fierce. Not only did it attract the attention of many neighbors, even Sunier, Qi Li, and the others in the hotel were alerted.
Sassoux pulled Michel hard. Michel turned around and said angrily, "What?"
Sassoux pointed at the gutter. Michel looked in and was stunned. Other than some household garbage, there was also a pile of bones half a foot high. The bones were so clean and tidy. There was not even a scrap of meat left. Obviously, the person who made them was very serious.
"Let's go." Sassoux sighed. He put his arm around Michel's shoulder and walked toward the hotel. Michel was still in a daze. He let Sassoux do whatever he wanted and did not resist.
In the hotel, Han Jin was sitting on a chair. He looked around as if he was waiting for something. He was still holding the knife and fork tightly in his hands.
"Raphael, are you full?" Sassoux asked with a bitter smile.
"I'm still a little hungry …" Han Jin's knife and fork clinked lightly, making a pleasant sound.
Michelle's face had already turned ashen. He was not stupid, when he saw the pile of bones, he understood that these people did not harm his culinary skills. On the contrary, they admired his culinary skills. Didn't they see how clean it was? However, if he had a choice, he would rather not have such admiration.
"Sassoux, your friend is very nice. He's very passionate. He's going to feed us for a year," Morrisons said with a strange smile.
Michel's face turned pale. He was the one who said that. He could not deny it. Moreover, he had always been a man of honor. He could not deny it.
"Don't bully an honest man, okay?" Sassoux glared at Morrisons. He then walked over to Sunier. "I don't have much money on me. What about you?"
Sunier opened her spatial ring and threw a dozen gold coins on the table. "This is all I have."
Sassoux grabbed the gold coins and handed them to Michel. "Here, take them."
"No, I can't take your money." Michel refused.
"They're just joking with you. Do you really want to feed us?" Sassoux shook his head. "Believe it or not, they'll make you a pauper in ten days!"
"Hehe … we're just joking with you. Don't mind us." Morrisons laughed.
"Just take them. Then go get me some food. They're all full, but I haven't eaten yet." Sassoux grabbed Michel's hand and stuffed the gold coins into it.
"I'm not full!" Han Jin said solemnly as he raised his knife.
Sassoux rolled his eyes. Michel's face turned red. In the end, he put the gold coins away. "There's no more food in the cellar. I'll go out and buy some for you."
"Okay, then go." Sassoux patted Michel's shoulder with a smile.
Michel walked a few steps and stopped. He looked at Han Jin as if he was looking at a monster. "How much more can you eat?"
"I can eat as much as you have." Han Jin said seriously.
Michel was defeated and fled the hotel in a hurry. Qi Li had been waiting for him for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help asking, "Sassoux, have you heard anything?"
"No news from the Holy Crown City. The army of Lord Malishen of Depew City has blocked the border. But … I've seen people from Morgan & Co., and told them that you're in the Red River Hotel. It won't take long for them to send people here."
Qi Li's face showed a joyful expression. Han Jin suddenly said, "Qi Li, are you ready?"
"Ready? What for? "
"You don't have a token. They may not recognize you. What if they don't recognize you as the lady of the Morgan family? Even if they recognize you, I don't think … you have the right to control them, do you? " Han Jin said lightly, "What's more, you don't know whether they're loyal or not. You don't know their character, and you can't guess their attitude towards you. Now that the Morgan family has gone through a drastic change, who dares to say they're still willing to serve you?"
Qi Li's joy faded little by little. "Then … what should I do?"
"Wait until they come." Han Jin said softly.
