SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

"There is no reasonable solution to this matter. I don't mind going to the White Day myself and letting you experience firsthand the way Zhen'erting handles things."

Having said that, he turned and walked away with steady steps, adding without looking back:

"Put the documents away and wait until Qin Jiang shows his sincerity before proceeding."

"Yes, Chief Qinghe!" the woman replied respectfully, then glanced at Bai Zhou and the other two as if they were clowns, and laughed disdainfully.

A moment later, the man staggered to his feet, walked to the fat man with big ears, took a deep breath, and slowly dragged him out of Zhen'e Court.

Outside the building, a minivan was waiting.

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, the driver's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly opened the car door to greet him...

Zhen'e Ting, 32nd floor.

As soon as Qinghe stepped out of the elevator, he encountered a woman with a beautiful appearance.

She was also wearing the chief uniform of the Zhen'erting sect and said, "I saw it on the surveillance footage."

"Well, it shouldn't have been Qin Jiang's doing. He wouldn't have dared to do that. He just gave him a simple talking-to," Qinghe said calmly.

"Why are you still letting these two live? You're being too merciful." The woman said as she stepped into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Qinghe raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself, "Am I merciful? Hmm... I'll be more careful next time."

……

The commercial street opposite Jiangda University was still bustling with people. Inside the Duanshe Tavern, Gu Cang slumped in a leather chair at the bar and lit another cigarette.

He wasn't a heavy smoker; it's just that in the last few days, he felt like there was no hope left in the world.

Xiaoman and Sanshi were playing games in the corner when a "creak" sound came from behind them.

The old door of the tavern slowly opened, instantly attracting the attention of the three.

The tavern is in such a dilapidated state, who still comes here?

The man closed the door; he was in his forties and his face was pale.

He looked around the tavern, a greedy smile spreading across his face, his voice hoarse: "Boss, your tavern is really good."

"It's quiet, and it's noisy outside, so even if there's any noise inside, no one will know."

"Boss, I told you, if we don't decorate the bar properly, no normal people will come."

"Hey, I won! You're buying dinner tonight!" Xiaoman waved her phone at Sanshi.

"Seriously? You're even using a resurrection item? That's cheating!" San Shi said speechlessly.

"Hehehe—I don't care, you're paying!" Xiaoman smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Gu Cang continued to silently exhale smoke rings, lamenting the dullness of life.

The man was slightly taken aback; the three people in the tavern had completely ignored him?

The next second, his face contorted in a ferocious grin, his right hand transforming into a monstrous claw, his expression twisted, and his voice chilling:

"I've been starving for so long, today I can finally have a good meal!"

However, no one paid any attention...

The man let out a chilling laugh: "This is interesting."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Gu Cang, who was standing in front of the bar.

Just as the claws were about to reach Gu Cang's eyes, a flash of cold light appeared, and a sharp dagger instantly sliced ​​across his neck.

The man collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Xiaoman made a graceful turn and walked to the bar, pulled out a tissue to wipe her gleaming dagger, and said casually, "It's been a long time since I've seen the weakest E-rank Calamity."

"They must be starving. I'll clean up. Let me think, which intersection's members of the Zhen'e Division should I deliver the goods to today?"

As San Shi muttered to himself, he skillfully picked up a black sealed burlap sack, preparing to put the corpse inside.

Just then, with a creak, the tavern door was pushed open again.

"Huh? Sanshi, you're putting on a better act. Looks like we'll have to squeeze in another person," Xiaoman reminded him.

San Shi scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "No, one bag can't hold two of them."

"Excuse me, is the tavern still open?" A deep, steady male voice suddenly rang out, startling the three people inside.

Because the person in front of them did not have a trace of misfortune on him.

That leaves only two possibilities.

The first type is the SSS-level Calamity King.

Such an existence would be undetectable even if it appeared before a seventh-tier awakened being.

Secondly, there are SS-level calamities, who can conceal their aura.

But obviously, neither of these scenarios could possibly happen in this small, old, run-down tavern.

That leaves only the third possibility: This person is just an ordinary person...

"No way, there are actually ordinary people here?" The three of them muttered to themselves at the same time.

San Shi was the first to come to his senses, quickly tied up the sealed bag, and temporarily dragged it aside.

Xiaoman sheathed her gleaming dagger and greeted them with a smile: "We're open for business!"

"What would you like to drink? But just so you know, our wines are all reserve quality, so they're a bit pricey."

"You look like a student, how about... we try another place?"

Lin Mu smiled slightly at Xiao Man, said nothing, and walked straight to the high stool in front of the bar to sit down.

He looked at the weathered-looking man exhaling smoke and said, "Boss, a glass of water, the free kind, please."

Gu Cang stubbed out his cigarette, closed his eyes, and ignored him.

Xiaoman and Sanshi exchanged a glance, and the same thought popped into their minds at the same time: Is this person here to cause trouble?

"Pour him a glass," Gu Cang suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoman reluctantly took a glass of water and handed it over: "Sir, here's your water."

"Thanks."

Lin Mu smiled and took the bowl, took a sip, and then looked at the man: "Boss, another serving of fried rice with egg, please. I haven't eaten yet and I'm a little hungry. Of course, the free kind is also the kind."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the tavern instantly became awkward...

Gu Cang suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at Lin Mu.

San Shi and Xiao Man were now completely certain: the person in front of them was here to cause trouble!

Just as Xiaoman was about to speak, feeling somewhat angry...

Gu Cang's hoarse voice rang out again: "Xiaoman, go make some fried rice with eggs."

"Huh? Boss, he wants to eat for free and you're still cooking for him?!" Xiaoman immediately retorted.

San Shi looked at Gu Cang with a blank expression, thinking: Did Brother Gu take the wrong medicine today?

"Make it for him."

Just as Gu Cang was about to close his eyes, Lin Mu continued, "Boss, you may not have heard me clearly. I want to eat the fried rice you made yourself."

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Cang grabbed his arm with one hand.

This scene surprised both San Shi and Xiao Man; they never expected their boss to personally teach this young man a lesson.

Gu Cang frowned, looking directly into Lin Mu's eyes and asked, "A zero-level Awakener?"

Lin Mu seemed unsurprised by this action and continued, "So, can we make the fried rice now?"

"Okay, consider it an apology for your abruptness." Gu Cang then slowly got up and walked towards the second floor.

But this sudden change left Xiaoman and Sanshi completely petrified on the spot.

What the hell? The boss is actually cooking for an ordinary student?

Wait, when did the boss learn to cook?!

Just as Gu Cang was walking up the stairs, Lin Mu's calm voice rang out again:

"Add two eggs to the fried rice, then fry an egg, add a ham, a chicken cutlet, and finally, make it very, very, very spicy!"

Gu Cang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stopped in his tracks, turning around abruptly to look at Lin Mu.

"Hurry up, I'm not messing around, I'm really hungry." Lin Mu smiled.

Gu Cang took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within him: "Wait!"
