When the crowd woke up in the second morning, they found out that they were being sent to Sister Hua’s tavern.
“Erm… Hu Ben… Where are we…” asked Ning Yuchen while opening his eyes slowly.
Hu Ben then lifted up his head and checked his surroundings.
“Boss… This… This is Sister Hua’s tavern!”
“Something is not right! Get up! Everyone wake up! I thought we are supposed to be kidnapped by Ju Fei? How did we come back here? How is this even possible? Sister Hua! Where is Sister Hua?!” asked Liu Chen in astonishment.
“I’m here!”
Sister Hua was the one that woke up the earliest. So, she went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for all of them.
“I have no idea what happened to us as well. When I woke up just now, I saw everyone lying on the table like a drunkard.” Said Sister Hua.
“Where is Zhufeng? He is the weakest among us! I hope nothing bad happened to him!”
Amongst them, Ning Yuchen cared about Chen Xiaobei the most.
“He’s there! Still sleeping like a baby!”
Sister Hua pursed her lips and stared that Chen Xiaobei like he was her little brother.
“Zhufeng is fine! That means everyone is unharmed! This is great! False alarm!” said Hu Ben with a sigh of relief.
“Hold on! Something is really no right!”
Liu Chen walked toward Chen Xiaobei and checked on him.
“Alright! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him! It’s not like you don’t know that he is the weakest among us! Now that everyone is fine, please don’t go and disturb him! Let him sleep longer! He drank the most last night,” said Ning Yuchen.
“He is right. Let him sleep in the tavern for a little longer… After breakfast, we will have to say goodbye to this place for good.” said Sister Hua with a long sigh.
Upon hearing, everyone was shocked.
“I can understand her decision… Since we have offended the Black Cloud Faction, there’s no way that Sister Hua can carry one with her business here!” said Ning Yuchen.
“It’s okay! I still have some savings with me. We can go to other places to continue the business!”
Though Hu Ben was disappointed, he knew his responsibility as a man very well.
“All 20 streets here belong to Black Cloud Faction… You guys can only move to territories that belong to Black Dragon Faction or Formidable Heaven Faction! We will have to start from zero since we are going to lose all of our regular customers!” said Liu Chen, frowned.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. I’m don’t want to continue with this business anymore! I don’t wish to trouble Hu Ben! I have some saving as well. I plan to look for a place to settle down and have a peaceful life for a few years. When Hu Ben is done serving the planet, I will leave this place with him…”
Everyone felt really sad when someone important was about to leave them really soon.
“Everyone is here?”
Suddenly, a muscular and plump man entered the tavern. The two of them look really similar. There was a high chance that they were brothers. Everyone could notice that their faces were wrapped with bandages.
“Ju Fei! Ju… Ju Niao! What the hell are you guys doing here?”
Every single person in the tavern was taken aback when they saw them.
Ju Niao was the big boss for the few streets around them. The reason why Ju Fei dared to do whatever he wanted here was all because Ju Niao vowed to protect him.
“Ju Fei! What the hell you want now?! You just messed with us last night! And now you bring your brother with you to mess with us again?! Do you really think that we will do nothing this time?” said Ning Yuchen angrily.
As for yesterday, the reason why Ning Yuchen did not dare to fight with them was because they had Sister Hua as hostage. Now that Sister Hua was safe, Ning Yuchen had nothing to fear anymore. At the same time, Hu Ben and Liu Chen were prepared to fight with them as well. The moment Ning Yuchen constricted Ju Niao, the two of them would charge at Ju Fei and beat him into pulp.
“No! No! No! This is a huge misunderstanding!”
Feeling nervous, Ju Niao took a quick peek at the sleeping Chen Xiaobei.
“We did not come here to mess with you guys. We are here to say sorry!” said Ju Niao.
“What? Say sorry?”
None of them could believe what they just heard. Those that knew Ju Niao from Black Cloud Faction would never apologize to anyone. He would rather choose to fight if things did not go his way. That was how he took control of the few streets here.
“You guys heard it right! I’m here to say sorry! My brother, Ju Fei had a high fever last night and he ate the wrong medicine! That explains why he did not know what he was doing yesterday! For that, I want to apologize on behalf of my brother!” said Ju Niao in a sincere manner.
“What? High fever? Ate the wrong medicine?”
“Ju Niao! Are you sure you are not messing with us?! This whole thing looks really fishy!” asked Liu Chen.
“I will never dare to mess with you guys!”
“Will not dare? What are you afraid of?”
Because of her paranoid nature, Liu Chen soon caught the key point of Ju Niao’s statement.
“I… I…”
Rendering speechless, he promised Chen Xioabei that he would not say a single word about his true strength.
“I know! I think he’s afraid of telling something that he shouldn’t tell! If he does so, the captain of the 2nd Regiment might come looking for him!” said Ning Yuchen with a smile.
“Right! Right! Right! I’m afraid of the captain of the 2nd Regiment!”
Right when he was trying to figure out some logical excuse, Ning Yuchen did him a favor unconsciously. Liu Chen felt that it all made sense. That was why she did not ask more about it. Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei smiled secretly. Ning Yuchen and Liu Chen had always like to argue with each other. Because of her paranoid nature, Ning Yuchen would need to constantly look for some logical explanation to make her feel better. As time passed by, this had become their default way to communicate with each other.
“If that’s the case, does that mean Sister Hua can continue with her business here?” asked Hu Ben in an excited manner.
Though Sister Hua did not say anything about it, she was actually glad as well.
“Of course! Not only that, I will make sure that your business will become better than before! It will be smooth sailing from now on!”
“This…”
Hu Ben and Sister Hua felt like they were living a dream that they had longed for. Knowing that Ju Niao was the boss of this area, they knew that he would definitely keep his promise.
“This is great! Too great!”
Liu Chen and Ning Yuchen felt happy for them as well.
It was at that moment Chen Xiaobei decided to get up from his ‘sleep’.
He then put on a smile and said, “Breakfast smells really good! I want one too!”
“Are you a pig? Who would ask for food seconds right after they wake up?!” said Liu Chen.
Ning Yuchen, Hu Ben, and Sister Hua laughed together when they heard Chen Xiaobei’s request. On the other hand, Ju Niao and Ju Fei could not figure out why a powerful elite like Chen Xiaobei wanted to act weak in front of them.
