New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 158: Two People Preparing for a Swordfight in Bologna

Casino of Bologna.

Completely different from the street scene of Bologna, the interior of the grand casino has a sense of luxury that does not belong to this city. And it is not a mess of gold, its jaw-dropping design is on the same level as the royal city castle.

"You got the wrong person. I'm just a servant. The groom has been killed. You... uh."

Misunderstandings must be resolved as soon as possible. Lei Ye, who knew this very well, immediately began to explain. The man leading the way looked back at him suspiciously, but did not respond. A large group of men in black followed behind him, "driving" Lei Ye forward.

No, buddy, this is a marriage, a marriage, you just pick anyone to be the groom, why should you be so careless, don’t you even know what the man looks like?
He hesitated for a moment and reached out to grab the hairpin on his head, preparing to use this method to rudely prove his identity. He did not do so directly at first because he did not want the other party to get angry and attack him. He really did not want to have a conflict as he was not in the right.

Seeing his action, the man leading the way paused again, then turned around and helped him put the hairpin back on.

".You can just call me Ah Cai, sir. Please wear this carefully. You need to pay attention to your image here."

Lei Ye touched the animal ear hairpin that was put on his head again. Now he really didn't know how to explain it. What's the difference between this and kidnapping?

I don't even want to act anymore.

Such toughness actually made Lei Ye a little curious. Just now, he saw a girl in red briefly appear on the steps. After she said a few words to the guy in front whose name sounded a bit like a dog, his identity was directly confirmed. Lei Ye wanted to ask why. If it was love at first sight, he didn't believe it. In Bologna, he was not Teacher Ohno nor Mr. Lei, but just an ordinary person with average looks. Lei Ye would not fantasize that a beautiful girl would like him inexplicably.

The magnificent hall was filled with gambling tables, and the warm air was filled with the faint aroma of wine. However, the casino was cleared out today, and no gamblers were to be seen. Instead, tall, slender-legged girls wearing grid-striped bunny girl costumes stood by the gambling tables. Whenever Lei Ye's eyes swept over them, the girls would bend deeply, revealing their long and beautiful scenery.

Lei Ye was not looking at the girls, but at the beautiful gambling tables. He stared at the nearest table for a few seconds, leaning close to Greti and whispering.

"Magic tool."

"Ah."

The two top engineers saw through the tricks of the gambling tables at a glance. Although they couldn't see the manufacturing level in detail from a distance, they were undoubtedly magic props that could be operated using magic power. This casino played dirty.

For some reason, a very strange expression appeared on Grady's face.

Going up the stairs and through several long corridors, a large door opened into a spacious space, which was even more luxurious than the first floor. The floor was covered with animal skin carpets of the same large monster, and a huge crystal chandelier hung on the ceiling. Under the light was a wooden table as big as Lei Ye's bedroom, and only two people were sitting at the wooden table.

A fat man and a beautiful girl. The fat man was wearing a small dress inlaid with gold thread, and gold rings and gold chains were hanging everywhere on his body where jewelry could be worn. He looked like a tacky rich man. The girl's clothes were very simple, plain red.

The two were chatting about something. When they saw Lei Ye coming, the girl immediately stood up and came over. She took Lei Ye's hand with a smile and said, "Dear, long time no see. Come, come with me. We agreed to exchange gifts."

Lei Ye was almost driven into the glittering golden bathroom. The girl had strong hands and pulled him over quickly as if she was afraid that he would say something strange.

Then he swiftly took out ten large gold coins and threw them into Lei Ye's hand, which sank into his hand.

Lei Ye, who was already confused, was even more bewildered. Exchanging gifts? Such a big deal right off the bat?

"Look at your clothes, you are the bride, right?" Lei Ye took off the hairpin on his head. The reason why he did not reject the girl's action was that he wanted to take this opportunity to explain it to her. "You are too enthusiastic and don't listen to me. I am actually here to report the news. Your subhuman groom had an accident on the road and has died. I understand your unwillingness to accept the fact, but since it has already happened, please accept my condolences."

In order to prevent the other party from not listening, Lei Ye directly threw the half body of the demi-human boy to the ground. At that time, he put the body into the storage bag. Considering that it was only half, he did not take it out in public.

"I met him on the road. When I lowered my head, he was lying on the side of the road. No matter how I pressed his Ren Zhong, he wouldn't wake up." Lei Ye said calmly.

He tried to stay calm and sighed in his heart that he had finally helped Grady clean up the mess. Now that the body had been thrown out, the other party couldn't say anything nonsense. He just didn't know whether the young bride would burst into tears or attack Lei Ye in anger.

The dead are the greatest. If the other party really makes a fuss, he will just endure it today.

As a result, the girl just took a quick glance to confirm the identity of the deceased, then took the body away directly. She took two steps closer and put Lei Ye's hairpin back on.

"His name is Regdo, and this will be your name from now on. I don't care who you are. From now on, you are the eighth prince of the Gadru Empire. My name is Losia, your fiancée. You must remember this name and familiarize yourself with your identity as soon as possible."

Lei Ye was stunned, then he laughed angrily at the woman who was bossing him around.

Although the man was a kid, he was the groom after all. He came here to report the news and apologize with a guilty heart. Now it seemed that the woman was not normal either. He didn't want to say anything more and turned away.

Suddenly, a strong wind came from behind, approaching his waist. Lei Ye subconsciously dodged and avoided Losya's straight punch. Then he jumped sideways quickly and appeared behind the opponent in the blink of an eye. Holding the stun gun in his hand, he grabbed her crotch directly.

Judging from the punch she threw just now, this girl is really not weak, but who is he, Lei Ye? It's funny. Beating her is no different from beating a child.

Lei Ye watched her fall to the ground with an expression of disbelief, and silently took back the stun gun.

Attacking weak points was an old habit, but using props was a bit excessive. There was no other way. He and the man named Luo didn't get along well, so he subconsciously used more force.

Lei Ye turned around, took a deep breath, killed the groom and beat the bride, thinking that he would fight his way out of here, when his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a thin hand. Lei Ye watched Losiya slowly stand up while covering his crotch with his other hand.

Before, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes when she looked at Lei Ye, but now there was finally awe in her eyes.

"You're quite tough. What? Do you want to fight again?" Lei Ye took out the stun gun again.

"No, I don't dare. You're very strong. I should have known that from the unusual sword on your back." Losiya was obviously much more honest, and her tone became softer, with a hint of pleading this time. "I know it's a bit hard to ask you to get married suddenly, but you've already taken the money, so just consider it as a favor, okay?"

Lei Ye was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had just put the ten big gold coins into his pocket.

Interestingly, he took out a stool from the storage bag and placed it under his butt, crossed his legs and waited for Losiya's subsequent speech.

Losia leaned against the wall, covering her wound, her voice trembling.

"Just help me. I was the one who contacted Hachioji at that time, so I was the only one who could recognize Hachioji. Whoever I said was who it was, it was who it was. But now that I say it's you, it can only be you."

No wonder Ah Cai immediately confirmed that it was him, but...
Lei Ye shook the hairpin in his hand and said, "He said he was the eighth prince of Gadru, a demi-human. They still believe me even after I took this thing off?"

"Some human-mixed subhumans don't have subhuman characteristics. After all, they are Hachijo, so their bloodline isn't that pure." "So it's Chuan Chuan," Lei Ye suddenly realized. He looked around the bathroom, which was almost as big as a house in his old home, and it was glittering with gold. "Looking at your family's situation, you don't seem to be short of money, so why are you planning a marriage? I don't think you two have any feelings for each other."

"Indeed, we have no feelings for each other. We have only met a few times," Losia nodded with a wry smile. "The marriage is not for money. It is to pave the way for moving to the Gadru Empire in the future. Bologna is a bit difficult to make a living in. My godfather is going to run away. It's a good place over there. Everything is cheap. We don't need the Eighth Prince to exist. He is not a particularly important person over there anyway. As long as the wedding goes smoothly, I can arrange for you to go somewhere else afterwards. You only need to give us the title of the Eighth Princess and we can find a place to stay over there."

"Then you can find someone else to sleep with. I really can't help you with this. I'm not interested."

I roughly understood it, but I wasn't interested.

The only gain from coming to the big casino was that Lei Ye realized that Bologna was not without strength, but that the strength was concentrated in the hands of a few people. Grati was right, there was money to be made here, but one had to make money from rich people.

He took out the ten large gold coins and placed them on the sink.

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Listen to me. This matter is very important. Just treat it as a good deed. If this marriage is ruined, I'm afraid many people will die."

This sentence made Lei Ye hesitate.

You can tell by looking at those gambling tables that the boss of this place is definitely not a good guy. And look at those guys in black, they are definitely from the Black Snake Gang. If the boss is made unhappy, there will be no peace around this place.

After hesitating, Lei Ye continued to walk out.

None of my business.

He ignored the desperate Losiya and strode out with the upgraded holy sword in his hand. "Who cares about the Black Snake Society? I'll kill him, alpaca. What do you want to do? I dare to rush into the royal city, so why would I be afraid of a small casino like yours?"

He opened the door and exchanged glances with the girl with animal ears. Then he was pushed back by the waist.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong. I really didn't recognize it at first because it had changed so much. But when I saw the gambling table, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong," Grady chattered as she pushed Lei Ye inside, her eyes full of excitement. She glanced at Losia over there and lowered her voice, as if she wanted to tell Lei Ye a big secret. "Let me tell you, this place seems to be owned by my family."

Lei Ye's momentum of destroying the casino disappeared, and his hand loosened from the hilt of the holy sword.

This.

"Don't question me, just listen to me. I spent my childhood in Bologna. Before I returned to the scorched earth, I left all the businesses I had built here to a few of my younger brothers. To be more precise, I promoted them to store managers. I gave them 1% of the dividends. Every fifty years, I will come to take my share of the money. I figured it out and it will be time to harvest the leeks next time in two years. It's amazing that this place has changed so much in the intervening years that I can't even recognize it."

Grady slapped her thigh excitedly, and it seemed as if gold coins could pop out of her eyes. "Hey, this little brother Ren is really doing well. Now I'm going to make a fortune. I'm going to get a raise! I have to raise my salary! Double the dividends!"

Lei Yexin said that your doubling was only 2%, which was a bit outrageous, but he did not hide the fact that he was just making money.

He watched Grady wandering around the bathroom, stroking the golden tiles, with a grin on her face that was truly lewd, and he had to cough lightly, trying to remind Grady that they were on a business trip, not in Yuzu Castle.

Gretty's expression froze, and she immediately restrained her expression. Unfortunately, the queen-like elegance and majesty that she had when they first met were long gone. Perhaps it was because she was too excited, and the result of her efforts to control her expression was that she looked more like a female imp.

"Animal ears are quite cute." Lei Ye gave up reminding and said casually.

Grady regained some composure and walked towards Losia. "Let me ask you, what is the full name of this big casino?"

"Bologna Casino"

"What is that?" Grady was stunned. "It has been renamed, right? What was it called before?"

"I don't know." Losia looked at Greti with fear. She really didn't expect that this group of strangers had such terrifying fighting power. If she had known, she would not have been smart enough to call them in. She was not afraid of Lei Ye. Although Lei Ye was vicious, he looked like a reasonable person. This sub-human girl was a neurotic and terrifying one with an unpredictable expression. It was okay that she stared at the wall tiles of her toilet with a hyena-like greedy look, and she even hysterically said that she opened this casino.

"Is it possible that your brother changed his name? If the decoration style has changed a lot, he must have made drastic reforms." Lei Ye looked at Grady's expression and felt that she was not joking, so he thought along her lines.

"It's possible. I thought the Old Ti's Casino was quite down-to-earth. Why did they change it for me?"

OK, I know why the name was changed.

Lei Ye's next words were choked back by the name.

He also glanced at Grady with an apologetic look, and Grady's words unconsciously became a little harsher.

"So the one outside the door is your little brother?" Lei Ye asked again.

"No, I don't know him. The younger brother from fifty years ago is already an old man. He must have died a long time ago. The ones in the casino now must be newcomers. But they will definitely explain me clearly when they hand over to the new younger brothers they choose. Don't worry, I have kept the documents such as the title deed very well. They will have nothing to say once I show them."

Lei Ye, who was originally unsure, was relieved when he heard that the documents were all there.

In this way, the largest and most luxurious place in Bologna belongs to our own people.

Then I thought about how Grati had specifically mentioned that she wanted to come to Bologna, and it turned out that she had her own business. That would be really cool. Starting with such a large venue and a bunch of bunny girl employees, whatever she does will be popular.

It’s just that the casino business isn’t doing very well.

Soon Lei Ye became excited and understood Gretty's chirping.

"Let's go, let's eat first and try the local specialties."

"Okay, okay, we can talk while we eat."

Losya watched the two men push open the bathroom door arm in arm. Ever since she decided to subdue Lei Ye by force but failed, she had a bad feeling, and now this feeling became stronger.

It can't be such a coincidence that all the people we picked up randomly are masters with special skills.
