Compared to clues, energy value is secondary.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xia Chuhe has no intention of draining other people's store revenue, after all, she is now also running a store and knows how difficult it is to run one.

With a clear objective, the six quickly devised a specific plan.

Li Yue and Bu Yi's abilities were not suitable for combat, and since the tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves were tied up in the shop and needed guards, the two of them were left in the shop.

The other four put on masks and hats, dressed up a bit, and went straight out of the back street to the address of the large store that Tiger, Leopard and Jackal had kindly provided. What they were immediately met with was despair.

Wang Yan said in a low voice, "Those four came in through the back door, so let's go in through the back door too."

The remaining three agreed and went around to the back door of the Despair's Taste. Xia Chuhe kicked the door open.

"robbery!"

The more than twenty waiters and waitresses in the store glanced at the four people standing at the door and burst into laughter.

The man who looked like the manager behind the counter rang the bell: "Security, a few idiots have come!"

A burly man with bull horns rushed out of the kitchen, and more than twenty waiters were also eager to get started.

Xia Chuhe said coldly, "Surround them!"

Before the words were even finished, Xia Chuhe and Wang Yan set up four walls of fire with their hands, while Li Qiusheng and Lu Dangui went around to the front door to block it, so that no one could escape.

The burly security guards and waiters were all stunned. They'd seen robberies before, but never anything this arrogant—four men brazenly claiming they could surround more than twenty people. Only when the wall of fire was right in front of them did they realize that these robbers were different from those they'd encountered before.

The security guard shouted, "Don't be afraid! It's just a wall of fire. Defeat them, and the boss will definitely reward you!"

The bull-horned security guard was the first to charge into the wall of fire. However, what awaited him was layer upon layer of raging flames.

Before the security guard could wade through the fire, Xia Chuhe turned the lock on the back door and continued to spread the fire.

In the blink of an eye, the bull-horned security guard, with its charred horns on its head, rolled around on the ground as it emerged from the fire. A quick-thinking waiter had already brought over two large buckets of water and poured them over it.

Although the security guard was covered in soot, he at least survived.

Seeing the fate of the bull-horn security guard, the waiters dared not make any rash moves.

Seeing this, Xia Chuhe contained the flames within the hall to prevent them from burning the tables and chairs. She understood that what the tigers, leopards, and wolves meant by having a master in charge was simply because the shop was large and had many people, making it difficult for ordinary robbers to handle.

Xia Chuhe walked towards the counter. As she took a step forward, the sales staff took a step back.

Unlike the various animals and ghosts seen today, these waiters were more or less recognizable as human. Xia Chuhe didn't make things difficult for them, and said calmly, "Make way."

The waiters, trembling with fear, made way for Xia Chuhe to reach the counter.

Xia Chuhe slammed his hand on the counter, leaving a faint, scorched black mark on his palm: "Robbery."

The manager was sensible and obediently opened the cash box.

Inside the money box, there were piles of energy coins, several hundred at a glance. On top of the energy coins lay a ledger filled with the taste of despair.

Xia Chuhe flipped through the account book and flew into a rage.

That's unfair!

Underhanded dealings!

Blatant discrimination!

The ledger contained despairing data on costs, revenues, salary expenses, and taxes. What enraged Xia Chuhe was the tax rate—only 5%!

The tax rate for meat and blood restaurants is 40%!

Does having connections mean you can do whatever you want?!

This is outrageous! This is outrageous!

Xia Chuhe was so angry her hands trembled. She had only planned to rob a little money as a token gesture, but now she had taken nearly half the money from the money box. Since the tax collection was unfair, she would manually level the tax rate.

Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "Oh dear, my hand is shaking."

"It'll be hard to explain to the boss if we're short of energy coins, right? No problem, I'll take the ledger with me too." Xia Chuhe considerately took the ledger.

The manager dared not speak out in anger, but secretly thought to himself, "Let you be smug for one more minute."

"There's another question, who is your boss?" Xia Chuhe asked.

"No, I don't know. I've never seen the boss. He only comes to collect the money from the counter after we get off work," the manager said.

Xia Chuhe held a flame in his hand, his expression one of deep threat.

The waiters all stepped back, leaving the manager alone to face the situation.

The manager was on the verge of tears: "I really don't know, I'm just an employee."

Xia Chuhe was skeptical.

Just then, an alarm suddenly sounded overhead: "You scoundrels, how dare you rob my shop! Where is the food law?!"

The manager breathed a sigh of relief. He had already rang the bell to notify the boss when the bull horn security guards suffered their defeat, but the boss was only "rushing" now. What a busy man!

Xia Chuhe looked up, but could only hear the voice; he could not see the person.

Lu Dangui reacted quickly, throwing a flying knife and knocking down a coin-sized megaphone.

However, it was too late to remedy the situation; a sudden burst of golden light illuminated the shop, and the shadows of books flickered in the air.

Lu Dangui made a snap decision, opened the door and ran away: "Go!"

Xia Chuhe and others followed closely behind.

The Food Law was quick to act, uttering eight powerful words: "The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it!"

A giant net stretched out from the front street, covering almost the entire street. The net contracted around the four people, aiming to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Xia Chuhe struggled desperately, flicking the flames onto the net, causing a small tear in the net.

The Food Law added several more lines: "The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it! The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it..."

A giant net, layer upon layer, descended.

Xia Chuhe was overjoyed; as long as it could be burned through, that was fine. She pushed Wang Yan to Lu Dangui, then took Li Qiusheng and said, "Let's split up and meet up at the place where we first encountered the tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals!"
