NOVEL WEB Volume 2 Chapter 105
105. Ordinary
In the lower city district of Corolle, there was a butcher shop.
No one knew the owner’s name, but many people called him A’Jin.
A’Jin was a middle-aged uncle in his prime.
He was a bachelor, always looking haggard. Every day, he would smoke while cutting meat. Sometimes, the cigarette ash would fall onto the meat, and he was scolded by many customers, but A’Jin would only listen and never change.
He slept in the mornings and never opened the shop. He only started working diligently in the afternoons and evenings, a complete slacker who didn’t care about his business at all.
The meat sold was also water-injected meat.
The only thing worth praising was that the price of A’Jin’s meat was very cheap… even though the quality of the meat was problematic, even the poor could afford it.
Dragons had huge appetites, and not eating meat was not an option.
Someone had estimated that even with the water injection, his meat prices were barely profitable, and sometimes he even operated at a loss.
Strangely, in the chaotic lower district, no thugs ever dared to cause trouble at his shop.
Everyone thought A’Jin was very mysterious. No one knew about his past experiences. The poor people in the lower district also didn’t know what he was up to. Perhaps he was a man with a story.
Many people thought so, but A’Jin never mentioned his past.
Night had fallen, but there was still some time before closing.
A’Jin cut a few remaining pieces of meat on the chopping board, arranged them, and lit a cigarette.
He was just waiting for someone to buy this water-injected meat later and call it a day.
But today was a bit strange.
He heard a commotion in the lower city district, like an earthquake, and someone set off fireworks.
“Is today some holiday?” A’Jin was a little puzzled.
He looked outside and saw many people running in one direction.
Among them, there was also a regular customer of the butcher shop.
“A’Jin, why are you still here?” The regular ran over, “Something happened!”
“Why are you making a fuss?” A’Jin asked indifferently.
“A big bounty has appeared in the lower district! There’s a sponsor offering a reward for the life of a young dragon!”
“Young dragon?”
“Yes!! The people in the lower district have gone crazy. As long as we kill that young dragon, the reward offered by the sponsor is enough for us to move from the lower district to the central district,” the regular customer said with wild joy. “This is a great opportunity for us to change our fate! Let’s cooperate, bring your pig-slaughtering knife, and go kill the young dragon together! From now on, you won’t have to sell meat here anymore. We can be as carefree as the nobles and enjoy life!”
“Not interested.”
The regular’s mouth twitched, “If you don’t go, I’ll go, the entire district has been mobilized!”
A’Jin’s regular ran towards the center of the earthquake just now.
A’Jin sat on a recliner, leaned back, and closed his eyes.
The lower district was indeed very noisy tonight. Usually, there wouldn’t be many people wandering outside.
“Forget it.”
A’Jin stood up, put on flip-flops, took off his coat, and lit another cigarette.
“Just consider it a stroll.”
……
Xia Yi felt that something was wrong, she saw more and more dragons surging out.
Like a tide, they blocked this street so tightly that not a drop of water could trickle through.
These people seemed to be the poor from the lower district.
They looked at Xia Yi, revealing a fierce light in their eyes.
“Little girl, don’t blame us. Someone has put a bounty on your life. This money, we couldn’t earn it even if we worked hard for a hundred lifetimes,” the poor people said.
“What? Bounty?”
“As long as we kill you, we can change our fate, leave this hopeless lower district, and go to the central district.”
Xia Yi frowned.
Just now, Thousand Kills had used a signal flare to attract all these people… Was she trying to create more trouble for her using this method?
“You’ve been tricked,” Xia Yi said, “Someone is using you!”
“Kill her… kill her and go to the central city to be a noble master!!”
The poor people in the lower district wouldn’t listen and pounced on Xia Yi.
“Annoying!”
Xia Yi was very impatient and didn’t want to entangle with them any longer.
She just wanted to find Thousand Kills quickly and teach that bastard a lesson.
“Fireball!”
Using Chant Regulation, Xia Yi raised the Rose Staff and cast Fireball.
At first, the Rose Staff was pointed at the crowd.
She thought about it, although she was very angry now, her plan to purge the new nobles of Corolle was not yet complete,.One part of it was closely related to the poor people in the lower district… If she were to massacre them here, it would affect her plan…
Whoosh!
“Fire Wall!”
Xia Yi changed the nature of her magic. The fireball exploded on the ground in front of the poor people, and the raging flames soared into the sky, forming a fire wall that temporarily forced back the crowd.
“She is a mage!”
“So what if she’s a mage? Rather than living aimlessly here, it’s better to take a gamble!!”
Some people knew they were no match and were timid, giving up the idea of engaging in battle.
Some people were desperate and wanted to fight Xia Yi to the death.
Although the deterrence of magic had a certain effect, it did not change the situation.
Xia Yi now had only two choices.
One was to wait for death; the other was to kill a bloody path…
“Stop right there! If you don’t want to die, stop. The Hechi Gang will take over from here!”
Xia Yi suddenly heard Jiye’s voice.
She raised her head and saw many dragons in suit uniforms descending from the sky like guards, landing beside her.
On the buildings in the poor district, there were also numerous gang members appearing, looking down from above, supervising everything on the street, holding long-range weapons in their hands… If anyone dared to make a move, they would take action.
At the entrances and exits of the streets, members of the Hechi Gang were also present, wielding weapons, showing deterrence.
The actions of all members of the Hechi Gang were orderly, demonstrating the strength of a top gang.
“It’s the Hechi Gang!”
“Why would Corolle’s top gang force come to the lower district?!”
“No, we are no match for these gangsters at all!”
The appearance of the Hechi Gang immediately subdued the poor in the lower district.
“Miss Mu Guang, I and the Big Sister came late,” Jiye looked at Xia Yi and lowered his head, “Sorry for putting you in danger.”
“Sera is back too?”
Jiye nodded, “Big Sister just informed me that the assassin who attacked just now has also been caught, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Sera is really reliable.”
Xia Yi finally felt relieved.
“Miss Mu Guang, what should we do next? The rioters in the lower district who want to harm you, should we…”
“No need. These poor people were just being used,” Xia Yi said. “Don’t let the Hechi Gang members harm them. I have subsequent plans related to the lower district.”
“I understand. I’ll convey this to all the members.” Jiye began to carry out the orders.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Xia Yi.
Everyone saw the scene of the leader of the Hechi Gang being very respectful to the silver-haired loli, and Xia Yi giving orders to Jiye, which was unforgettable.
Everyone tonight remembered her code name – Mu Guang.
This gave Xia Yi a strange feeling that she was really starting to do gang business.
Before being escorted away by the members of the Hechi Gang, Xia Yi felt a strange gaze.
She turned around and looked back, her gaze passing through the crowd in the lower district and falling on a slovenly dragon.
The middle-aged dragon was smoking a cigarette, wearing a vest and slippers. He and Xia Yi looked at each other from afar, his eyes deep.
Although he was an ordinary dragon, he had a special aura when standing in the crowd.
“What’s wrong, Miss Mu Guang?” Jiye noticed Xia Yi’s abnormality.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Xia Yi withdrew her gaze.
“Let’s go back.”
