With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"clear."

Li Shuang and Qiao Xiangqing nodded and quietly left the inn.

Nangong Wu returned to the space and saw Eileen holding a bottle of sulfuric acid. She put a drop on the palm of the armored man, and it visibly rotted, causing him to scream in pain.

"If you don't talk, we'll throw you all into the crematorium."

"Alright!" Eileen dragged the armored man to the crematorium, opened the furnace, and instantly, a wave of scorching heat rushed out.

Eileen grabbed the man's hair and dragged him little by little closer to the opening of the furnace where flames were roaring. "I'll give you one more chance."

The man's face was ashen. "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything, just don't burn us..."

A while later, they brought the shopkeeper over and knocked him unconscious.

Nangong Wu heard them coming upstairs and realized they had already left the space!

"Princess, this shopkeeper is the mastermind. When we found him, he was in the backyard plotting with more than a dozen people to kill us all and send us to a steamed bun shop called 'Xingbao'," Li Shuang said.

Qiao Xiangqing also said, "Sister Li Shuang killed them all; the bullets are still in those corpses."

"We don't need to worry about that," Nangong Wu said to the two of them.

"You all stay here. I'm going out for a bit. No matter what happens outside, don't go out. If anyone tries to make a move, create chaos, make all the guests in this inn leave, and then burn the inn down."

"Damn it, they dare to run a shady business in the city, and even kill people to make meat buns. They're incredibly audacious!" Qiao Xiangqing was furious.

"They dare to do this because they're looking at people. They heard our accents were different, and so many people want the best rooms, so they think we're easy targets." Nangong Wu said as she put the shopkeeper into her spatial storage and opened a window.

"Princess, I'll go with you," Li Shuang said.

"No need to say more, just stay here and do as I say." After saying that, Nangong Wu flew out of the window.

She first went to the backyard of "Xingbao Steamed Bun Shop".

In the backyard, a dozen or so people were sharpening their knives.

"Hurry up and get moving, the inn will be sending over a batch of good goods soon, and they've also given us a reward." After saying that, the man threw a bag in front of the group.

The bag fell to the ground, and the large silver ingots inside rolled out.

"One hundred taels each, and another two hundred taels tomorrow."

As soon as those men saw the silver, they immediately put down their knives and rushed to rob it.

Nangong Wu took out two sleeping pills, pulled the pin, and threw them down.

Hearing the sound, the people assumed it was silver and went to pick it up.

"Oh no..." The man collapsed.

Everyone else smelled the odor and felt their legs go weak and powerless.

The man who lost the silver bag was shocked and turned to run away, but he almost bumped into someone.

"Trying to run away?" Nangong Wu quickly pressed his pressure points to numb him.

"Master, this medicine is really effective," Eileen said.

"We've dragged everyone in." Nangong Wu dragged the person into a room.

Then, they brought out the innkeeper.

"clear."

Eileen threw the ten knife sharpeners into the house, one in each hand.

"Who are you, daring to touch us?" A menacing-looking man glared at her fiercely.

"Your shop actually dares to make human flesh buns, who is the owner behind it?" Nangong Wu asked.

The three people they had captured earlier were just shop assistants who only followed the shopkeeper's orders to kill and take money. They didn't know who the real mastermind was, and Eileen threw them into the furnace to burn them.

"You think you're worthy to know who our real master is?" The man's face was contorted with rage as he struggled to stand up, but his legs were too weak to support him.

Nangong Wu's eyes darkened. "Since that's the case, then kill him!"

"Alright!" Eileen picked up a large knife they had just sharpened and slashed at the man.

"Thud!" The head fell to the ground, and blood splattered all over the faces of those nearby.

"what……"

Several people screamed in fright.

"What? You're not afraid of harming people to make human flesh buns, but you're afraid of murder?" Nangong Wu walked up to someone and asked, "You tell me, who is the owner of this bun shop?"

"If you dare touch us, our master won't let you get away with it..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Nangong Wu raised her hand and ordered, "Chop him down!"

Eileen raised her knife and brought it down, "Pfft~~" Blood splattered everywhere.

The third man gritted his teeth, "Our master is not someone you can afford to offend. You just wait..."

"Chop!" Nangong Wu shouted again.

"Thud!" Another head fell to the ground.

One person, terrified, covered their head and screamed, "Help! Someone help me..."

"You're asking for it." Eileen swung her knife down, and the noisy noise stopped.

At this point, the remaining seven people dared not speak.

"If you make human flesh buns and attract the surrounding people to come here, letting them know that they usually eat human flesh buns, do you think they will beat you to death?" Nangong Wu sneered.

At this moment, the innkeeper slowly woke up and saw a human head as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Ah!" The shopkeeper was so frightened that he stepped back and kicked the head away.

"So you're afraid of death too!" Nangong Wu grabbed the shopkeeper's hair. "Who's your real mastermind? Otherwise, I'll wipe out your entire clan."

Upon hearing her words, these people assumed they were there to investigate a case, and their faces turned ashen.

The fact that they dare to investigate their master's case suggests they were sent by the imperial court.

"If you don't talk, I have a hundred ways to make you talk. Not only will you die, but your families will also be implicated. Think it over," Nangong Wu threatened.

"We'll tell you everything!" The man who had been dividing the silver crawled before her, kowtowing repeatedly. "My family knew nothing about the human flesh being used to make steamed buns. Please, Your Excellency, do not implicate them!"

"Old Cheng!" the shopkeeper shouted, stopping him. "Do you know the consequences of betraying the master?"

Nangong Wu's eyes turned slightly cold. "Who among you can tell me where this old man's family is? I'll spare his life."

Immediately, someone said, "I know. His family lives at No. 11 Willow Flower Lane. He has three wives and six sons. Three of his sons work as accountants at the inn."

"So your whole family deserves to die!" Nangong Wu thought that among the waiters they killed at the inn, there must be this person's son.

"No. 11 Willow Flower Lane, right? I've got it! I'll make sure your whole family goes to hell together to atone for the deaths you caused." She grabbed the shopkeeper by the neck.

"Snap!" The shopkeeper's neck was snapped by her.

"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind you?" Nangong Wu asked the experienced man.

"He is the second son of the prefect," Lao Cheng replied, kneeling.

"He's actually the prefect's second son. No wonder he's so bold." Eileen said in disbelief.

The experienced man added, "This place is far from the capital, and the prefect is all-powerful; we dare not offend him!"

"Where's the money? Hand over all the money you've earned from murder and robbery!" Eileen demanded.
