Xia Tianqiong listened from the side and understood.
I couldn't help but laugh; I suddenly felt like a company boss dealing with employee conflicts.
"Alright, stop arguing. You guys are obviously trying to take advantage of the situation to extort more money, and you even have the nerve to complain first. I'm ashamed for you."
He directly criticized them, and the waiters immediately lowered their heads.
They weren't admitting their mistakes, but rather expressing their dissatisfaction with Xia Tianqiong's words, yet they dared not let him see their discontent.
In their minds, they were injured in the fighting, so what's wrong with asking for a little more money? Why should they be judged?
Xia Tianqiong could clearly sense their low spirits, and then said, "Although you made mistakes, you also actively participated in the battle, so each of you will be rewarded with two hundred taels."
The waiters immediately looked up, their dissatisfaction vanished, and they all thanked their master with smiles.
"You've done a great job. You're a competent housekeeper. I trust you with the money."
Xia Tianqiong was always satisfied with the delivery guy; he was naturally suited for a role like a crypt or a butler.
"Thank you for the praise, Master. It is what I should do."
The deliveryman was as humble as ever, but he was criticized as soon as he said that.
“You did a good job this time, but there were some shortcomings. It’s a fact that some of them were seriously injured. You should at least give them a few dozen taels to stabilize their injuries before I make a decision.”
Xia Tianqiong would criticize the shop assistant first, then praise him. But with the delivery guy, she would praise him first, then criticize him.
As a leader, one should not favor any side, at least not outwardly.
A strange conflict between employees was thus resolved, and everyone was satisfied.
Liu Zhongjun, bound by the Heavenly Rope, stood aside dumbfounded, staring at the scene, too shocked to speak.
He hadn't expected Xia Tianqiong to have so many contracted spirits, and more importantly, they kept calling him "master" over and over again.
What does this mean? It means that they signed a human-master contract.
Monsters generally don't recognize humans as their masters, so such contracts are extremely rare, yet Xia Tianqiong has signed so many.
Just like the sheer amount of ghost money he possessed, it was hard to comprehend.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly picked up Liu Zhongjun and threw him on the ground, saying, "Whoever is good at interrogation and forced confessions, give him a good beating."
Just as the delivery guy was about to speak, Xiao Ba suddenly darted out.
“Master, I’m good at torturing people. Hand him over to me. I promise I’ll get all the answers you want to know.”
“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you. I want to know all the relevant information and how to use this strange space.”
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Xiao Ba immediately started working, and the other waiters also gathered around to help.
Liu Zhongjun trembled with fear and struggled desperately, pleading, "Don't touch me! I won't say anything. I'm a member of the Liu family. Just let me go, and we can discuss any conditions!"
He finally got scared, but it was too late.
Xia Tianqiong ignored him and turned to look at Jiang Yu, who had been standing silently to the side. "How are you? Are you hurt?"
"No, I've been hiding in the yard the whole time."
The last time Jiang Yu parted ways with Xia Tianqiong, it was at a budget hotel. However, after only two days apart, he seemed even more mysterious.
Not only did he become younger, but so many ghosts also called him master; it was simply unbelievable.
Who exactly is he?!
Xia Tianqiong suddenly asked, "Tell me, what supplies have you bought these past two days?"
Jiang Yu glanced furtively at Liu Zhongjun, who was screaming in pain. She was a little scared and didn't dare to ask any more questions. Then she began to tell him what she had bought in the past two days.
While Liu Zhongjun was being tortured by several waiters and screaming in agony, the two of them started chatting idly.
A dozen minutes later, Liu Zhongjun was tortured until he was as emaciated as an old man, with many pieces of flesh bitten off his body by the waiter.
Even so, they still didn't say anything.
Xia Tianqiong also lost patience. "Forget it, let's just give him a quick death. We won't get anything out of him if we keep going."
In the end, Liu Zhongjun was torn apart and eaten by eight waiters, disappearing from this world.
Xia Tianqiong immediately left the mirror space, feeling a force of rules enveloping his entire body and pulling him upwards.
Suddenly realizing something, he bent his knees slightly, jumped up with force, and soared into the sky.
The scene before my eyes shrank rapidly, the land gradually disappeared, turning into individual grids, and then I saw warehouses and various supplies.
When the changes stopped, Xia Tianqiong reappeared in the warehouse corridor, with a palm-sized chessboard floating in front of him.
A surge of joy filled his heart; with Liu Zhongjun dead, the mysterious artifact was now his.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind, "Little brother, how about you hang yourself with me?"
