"The one in this city who can hurt me has not yet been born."
Just then, the system notification sounded again.
Before their deaths, Yang Peng and his dozen or so servants contributed nearly 20,000 more anger points to themselves.
...
Xiang Yu led his men straight to "Youjian Inn".
Inside the "Youjian Inn".
It was late at night.
The innkeeper glanced at Jiang Tian's room: "This guy isn't going to skip out, is he?"
"No, innkeeper. Mr. Jiang Tian's things are still in the room. He said he would stay here for at least a while."
He also asked us to find him a house, and that he would stay here with us until he moved in.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded in satisfaction: "I estimate that Jiang Tian will earn at least several thousand taels of silver today."
"Today we'll take him down in one fell swoop, kill Jiang Tian, and steal the money."
That woman is gorgeous. I'll have my fill of her today, and then I'll sell her to Fengming Street.
It will definitely fetch several thousand taels of silver.
"The shopkeeper is right." The waiter grinned slyly. "I think the girl next to Jiang Tian is no less beautiful than the top courtesan on Fengming Street."
"That girl will definitely fetch a high price."
The shopkeeper stroked his beard happily: "Here's the sleeping potion. Put it in his drink. Today I'm going to kill him and rob him."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper."
The waiter grabbed the sleeping potion and rushed to the kitchen.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The waiter brought over a pot of tea.
"Shopkeeper, you've worked hard. It's getting dark. I can take care of things here. You should go back and rest."
"I'll let you know when Jiang Tian returns. What do you think?"
The innkeeper, carrying a small teapot, walked towards the room next door: "Take a good look."
"Understood..." The waiter took out another jar of wine and walked over to the other waiters.
"Gentlemen, how about a drink?"
The waiters were thrilled to hear this.
Everyone knew that Jiang Tian was about to be targeted, and having a drink to calm their nerves before committing the murder was definitely something to enjoy.
"Go quickly and get a few bowls."
Today, let's each drink a large bowl of wine first, and then we'll get started.
Soon, six bowls were placed in front of everyone.
Since these people routinely committed murder, they would frequently go outside the city to trick some people into making rice and meat.
They would drink a little alcohol before committing the murder.
It can be exciting and it can embolden you.
No one questioned the fact that they were drinking.
As everyone raised their wine bowls, the sound of a night watchman's drum came from outside; it was already past midnight.
They estimated that Jiang Tian should be back by now.
"Drink this bowl of wine."
Everyone tilted their heads back and drank the bowl of wine down completely.
"Come on, have another bowl. The shopkeeper said today that Jiang Tian is a big hit. We can make several thousand taels of silver from him."
"Let's all have a good drink!"
"Alright!" Everyone was very excited. Before, they could only drink one bowl of wine, and it was a small bowl.
Now, everyone can drink as much as they want.
Soon, everyone drank another large bowl of wine.
Everyone was dazed and confused, and many felt dizzy and lightheaded, and with a thud, they all fell to the ground.
"Damn it, what's wrong with my alcohol tolerance? How come I can't hold my liquor after just two bowls of wine?"
"Help me up, I'm going to sharpen my knife."
"My head is so dizzy. What's wrong with me?"
"This...this doesn't feel like being drunk, it's more like...it's more like..."
"Excuse me, gentlemen, I've put sleeping pills in your drinks." The waiter drew a boning knife with a whoosh.
"What are you doing? We're all in the same inn, we're all..."
“If I kill you all, all the shopkeeper’s money will be mine, Jiang Tian’s money will be mine, and his beautiful woman will be mine too.” The waiter walked up to one of the shop assistants, grabbed him by the hair, and lifted him up.
With a whoosh, the sound of metal piercing flesh rang out. The shop assistant's boning knife plunged into the waiter's heart, and then he pulled the knife out and lightly slit his neck.
Bright red blood gushed from the man's chest and neck.
“Our manager has tens of thousands of taels of silver. I work hard all year and only earn eight taels of silver. That’s not even enough for my whole family to starve. If I kill you all, all those tens of thousands of taels of silver will be mine.”
*Pfft...* The waiter did the same thing again, picking up a waiter and stabbing him directly in the heart with a boning knife, then slicing his neck with a backhand stroke.
"Are you fucking crazy? If you kill us, do you think the shopkeeper will let you off?"
"The government officials will let you go."
"Pfft... Swish..." Another knife to the heart, another to the neck.
The waiter said smugly, "The shopkeeper and you guys are all idiots. You've all been drugged. Killing you is as easy as killing chickens for me."
"Besides, if I kill you all and run away with the silver, who will come looking for me in this chaos?"
The waiter swiftly wielded his knife, killing one of the waiters with two strokes.
“That idiot Jiang Tian said he’d give me five hundred taels of silver if I killed you all.” The waiter licked the blood from his blade. “I’m after more than just his five hundred taels of silver.”
Lao Tzu valued everything about him, including his woman.
"I'll take all the silver with me and sell his woman to Fengming Street for several thousand taels of silver."
"This amount of money is enough for our family to live comfortably for decades."
As the waiter spoke, he chopped off the heads of all the waiters in front of him.
"Guys, sorry, I have to go chop up the innkeeper now." The waiter pushed open the innkeeper's room door with a smug look on his face.
The shopkeeper was completely unconscious.
"Shopkeeper, you can rest in peace on your journey. I'll see you off, and I'll take care of your wife." The waiter plunged a knife into the shopkeeper's head and then twisted the knife inside the shopkeeper's head.
In an instant, the shopkeeper's brain was smashed to pieces.
After finishing all that, the waiter opened the secret room inside the innkeeper's room. He gently pushed open the door, and instantly, a flash of silver light dazzled the waiter's eyes as he was surrounded by silver coins filling the room.
"Mine, all of them are mine, all of them are mine."
At that moment, a series of loud banging sounds came from the front door.
The waiter said excitedly, "Another one's come to die. Boss, I'll kill Jiang Tian and then I'll take your money and run away with you."
After the waiter finished speaking, he picked up the lantern and hurried towards the door.
The knocking on the door grew louder and louder.
"They're here, Young Master Jiang. I've already taken care of the innkeeper and all the staff..." the waiter said as he opened the inn's door.
The waiter was stunned the moment he opened the door.
The people standing at the door were none other than Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, and dozens of his men.
