Chapter 27 The Honest Man

  When Sasu Ou arrived near the Honghe Hotel, he saw a figure lurking in the alley corner. He recognized that it was his old friend Michel and hurried over.

  Maybe Michelle was too focused and didn't hear the footsteps behind him, until Sasuke tapped his shoulder, then he came to himself.

  "What are you doing, Michelle?"

  "Shh..." Michelle raised her index finger and continued to scan the street before suddenly turning back: "Sasori??"

  "What? Don't you recognize me?" Sasori felt somewhat amused.

  "I'm asking you, is that Ma Xinkuo really your friend?" Michelle grabbed Sasou's collar.

  Yes.

  "Those friends of yours are no good!" Michelle said with hatred.

  "What's wrong with Michelle?" Sasori frowned: "Don't randomly slander others!"

  "Don't believe it?! Hmph... You and I will wait here together, just you watch how I'll expose their true faces!" Michelle turned around again, gazing out at the street while gritting her teeth and muttering: "Damn it! I treated you with kindness and you intentionally tried to harm me... Just you wait!"

  "What did Michelle do to make you so angry?!"

  "What did I do?" Michelle's forehead twitched with anger: "Can't they just say that my cooking is bad? Is it necessary to be so vicious? I made a good plate of roasted meat, and they threw it away. Then they asked me to make another one, and when I finished, they threw that one away too..."

  "I get it!" Sasori exclaimed, a wry smile spreading across his face. "Among them is a guy named Raphael who eats an enormous amount... actually..."

  "Get out!" Michelle jumped up: "I've used up hundreds of pounds of beef, the cellar is half empty, Sasou, do you also want to help them cheat me?!"

  "You won't believe me even if I explain it to you. Come on, I'll take you to see them." Sasori grabbed Michele's hand.

  "No!" Michelle shook off Sasori: "I must catch them!"

  Just as the two were arguing, a figure pulled open the inn's large door and quickly walked out from inside. It was Mo Xinkou, who still held a large plate in his hand. He walked all the way to the other side of the street, throwing everything on the plate into the ditch, before turning around and heading back.

  "Stop right there!" Having caught Michelle red-handed, she took off like a shot.

  Mo Xinke was startled: "Sasou, you're back, Michelle, you..."

  "Do you still have a conscience? Despicable! Shameless!!" Michelle roared.

  "What?" Mo Xing asked inexplicably.

  Michelle's accumulated anger suddenly burst out, a string of notes shot out of his mouth like a pearl arrow, condemning the unjust behavior of Mo Xinkuo and others. The loud voice and fierce attack not only attracted many neighbors to watch the excitement, but also startled Xian Ni'er, Qiuli and others in the hotel.

  Sasuke pulled Michelle with force, and Michelle turned back angrily: "What's wrong?"

  Sasser pointed to the ditch, Michele leaned in and looked inside, and was immediately stunned. In addition to some domestic garbage, there was also a pile of bones that was at least half a foot high. The bones were so clean and tidy, without any residual flesh, it was clear that the person who made them was very serious.

  "Let's go." Sasoe sighed, put his arm around Michele's shoulder and walked towards the hotel, while Michele was still in a daze, letting Sasoe arrange him without making any resistance.

  In the hotel room, Jin Zheng sat upright on the armchair, looking around, as if waiting for something, still tightly holding the dinner knife and fork in his hand.

  "Raphael, have you eaten?" Sasuke asked with a wry smile.

  "There's still a bit of hunger..." Han Jin's dinner knife and fork lightly clinked together, producing a pleasant sound.

  Michel's face had turned iron-gray, he wasn't stupid, seeing that pile of bones and understanding that these people hadn't ruined his culinary skills, on the contrary, they still appreciated them, didn't they eat so cleanly? But if he had a choice, he'd rather not have this kind of appreciation.

  "Sasseur, your friend is very good and enthusiastic, and also wants to support us for a year." Mo Xinkou said with a strange smile.

  Michelle's face was ashen, and this was indeed what he said, and he couldn't deny it. Moreover, this person had always been particular about keeping his promises, so he also couldn't deny it.

  "Can't you guys just leave the honest people alone?" Sasou glared at Mo Xinkuo, then walked up to Xian Ni'er: "I don't have much money on me, how about you?"

  Xian Ni'er opened the spatial ring and took out a dozen or so gold coins, tossing them onto the table: "I only have this much left."

  Sasuke picked up the gold coins and handed them to Michele: "Here, you take it first."

  "No, I won't take your money," Michelle refused.

  "They're just kidding you, and you really think they can support us?" Sasou shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, they can make you go bankrupt in ten days!"

  "Haha... we're just joking with you, don't mind." Mo Xinkai said with a smile.

  "Take it and go get me some food, they've all eaten, I haven't eaten yet." Sasuke abruptly grabbed Michele's hand and stuffed the gold coins in.

  "I'm still hungry!" Han Jin said solemnly, raising his dinner knife.

  Sasou rolled her eyes, Michiru's face turned bright red, and finally put away the gold coins: "There's nothing to eat in the basement anymore, I'll go outside to buy some for you."

  "Alright, you go then." Sasori smiled and patted Michele's shoulder.

  Michelle took a few more steps and stopped again, looking at Han Jin with a gaze that seemed to regard him as some kind of monster: "You... how much more can you eat?"

  "How much I can eat is how much I will eat." Han Jin said very seriously.

  Michelle retreated in defeat and hastily fled the hotel, where Keli had been waiting for half a day and finally couldn't help but speak up: "Sasou, did you find out anything?"

  "There's no news from Sacred Crown City, but Lord Malishen of Deepcity has already sealed off the border... however... I've seen people from your Morgan Merchant Guild and told them you're at the Red River Inn. It won't be long before they send someone over."

  Kui Li's face showed a joyful expression, and Han Jin suddenly said: "Kui Li, are you ready?"

  "Ready? What ready?"

  "You don't have any credentials, they may not recognize you. What if they don't even acknowledge that you're a Miss Morgan? Even if they do, I think...you don't have the power to control them, do you?" Han Jin said calmly: "Besides, you don't know whether they are loyal or not, nor their character, and it's impossible to guess their attitude towards you. Now that the Morgan family is going through a drastic change, who dares to say that they will still be willing to serve you?"

  The joyful color on her face faded away: "Th...then what should I do?"

  "We'll talk about it when they arrive." Han Jin said softly.
