I was very puzzled as to why this boss would do such a thing.
Logically speaking, he should be the beneficiary.
If that's the case, then he shouldn't have cursed the blue-armored guy even more.
"I already told him not to introduce people like you who bring people to sign contracts."
But he's the good one; people like you are such a hassle.
They turned around and shoved you all in!
Isn't this obviously trying to make me take the blame?
The chubby boss was already quite agitated at this point.
I didn't quite understand what they were saying, but I glanced around a couple of times.
"Your surname is... Zhou?"
The girl suddenly spoke up, pointing to the peeling paint on the sign behind the counter.
I looked over, and indeed, I could vaguely see the character "周" (Zhou) on it.
The chubby boss was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"Yeah, just call me Fatty Zhou, or Boss Zhou."
The fat man also took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing his anger.
I can understand how he feels. Lan Jia introducing us here is tantamount to adding to his burden.
And it seems that this burden is something that the fat boss can't avoid.
After a while, Fatty Zhou calmed down and then looked at us.
"Alright, since that kid introduced you, whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
But let me make this clear from the start: once you're done, leave as soon as possible.
If you want to live, don't stay here for another second.
Hearing what Fatty Zhou said, my heart stirred slightly.
What's the meaning? ?
Is this place extremely dangerous?
Blue Armor didn't tell us about this at first.
Not only that, that guy in blue armor didn't tell us how dangerous this place was at all.
But at least I know for sure that this boss has no ill intentions towards us.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have told us that.
Moreover, this boss not only knows Lan Jia, but seems to be quite familiar with him, and they even seem to have some past grievances.
As expected, this man in blue armor didn't tell us everything. He withheld some basic information from us, such as the background of the business and the fact that the boss's surname was Zhou.
The thought of this makes me feel a little awkward.
Boss Zhou then sat down in the chair, which creaked and groaned.
I looked at the chair; this place didn't look like a place where a hotel could be opened.
But looking at Boss Zhou, it seems like business isn't so difficult after all.
Not only is it easy to do, but I think the infrastructure it has is also quite substantial.
It can even be said that it is very complete, and it is in no way inferior to the hotels with high traffic in the central area.
I watched as Boss Zhou pulled out a crumpled cigarette case, then shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
However, he did not light it, but only held it slightly in his mouth, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
"That Lan Jia kid... he's really not a good person."
The girl and I exchanged a glance, and we both saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes.
The girl spoke first, her voice tinged with confusion.
"Mr. Zhou, there's a contradiction in what you're saying."
Logically speaking, wasn't this hell a connection arranged for you by Blue Armor? You essentially benefited from it, so why are you saying he's bad?"
Yiyi's words made sense, and I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you're not familiar with Lan Jia? But just now, you reacted so strongly when you heard his name."
Fatty Zhou took the cigarette down, then twirled it slightly between his fingers, and smirked to the side.
"We know each other, but we can't be considered friends. I don't have friends who are so calculating."
When Fatty Zhou said this, his tone was very aggressive, but his eyes didn't just show simple disgust; there was also a very complex emotion in them.
"Then you..."
I was just about to ask this guy what his grudge was.
But before I could finish speaking, Old Zhou waved his hand, then his chubby hand made a gesture in the air, interrupting me.
"Let's not talk about that."
Fatty Zhou put the cigarette back in his mouth and mumbled a couple of sentences.
They just said we shouldn't be sold out by the Blue Armor.
But now we've been completely sold out.
I was sold out, and sold out completely!
Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to a place like this in search of sea marrow.
Moreover, this agreement was signed without any apparent reason.
We're just making a fool of ourselves; it's like trying to fill a basket with water.
Lei Jijian snorted coldly in my mind, and then spoke.
“Master, I think this old Zhou must have a grudge against Blue Armor. Maybe he was tricked by Blue Armor before.”
I didn't reply; to be honest, I was even more puzzled.
In this situation, even though Blue Armor didn't tell us the whole story, at least he can't lie to us.
Otherwise, he could have taken action long ago.
Since Lao Zhou doesn't want to talk about it, there's no need for me to keep asking.
After all, our main objective is sea marrow.
I cleared my throat and then steered the conversation back on track.
"Mr. Zhou, let's not talk about him. I'm here mainly to ask about one thing."
Sea marrow.
My words were very clear, but as soon as I finished speaking, Old Zhou, who had just looked impatient, suddenly sprang up as if a switch had been flipped.
He looked like a nimble fat man, as if he had used all the muscles in his body to do it.
Because he doesn't look like a fat person at all.
The moment I stood up, I almost overturned the chair.
I was quite surprised to see this.
Fatty Zhou's eyes widened, making his already swollen eyelids appear even more swollen.
Their voices were trembling slightly.
"What did you say? Trading Sea Marrow?"
I was immediately startled by the fat guy's reaction this week, and I subconsciously took half a step back.
I was even mentally preparing to call out "Thunder Strike Sword" and get ready to strike.
The way Boss Zhou looked at us clearly indicated that he was about to yell at us.
And it looked extremely dangerous.
It bared its teeth and claws like a lion about to devour someone.
Aside from his hair, which was rather sparse, there were only a few strands of hair on his head.
"Yes, Lan Jia said you have sea marrow, and we need it..."
"What good is that! Everything else is fine, but this is out of the question! I think you two are really tired of living!"
"If you want to die, there are many ways, why did you have to choose this one!"
Hearing this, I was completely speechless.
Could finding the sea marrow really cause any problems?
Isn't this just a simple tonic? According to Lan Jia, it's merely an essential part of restoring the Dew-Gathering Branch.
How did it become something terrifying in this fat man's mouth?
