"Ah! Murder!!!"
The woman's scream pierced the quiet air, and a commotion erupted outside, with shouts of alarm rising and falling.
The carriage was still burning, crackling and popping. The four people lying on the main road outside the restaurant were covered in blood, looking quite gruesome.
"That...that's Restaurant Mai Mi, isn't it? What happened? Did someone really die?"
"It seems there was a fight at the restaurant. The owner looks alright, but who died?"
"The owner's alright? That's good! If something had happened to the owner and he couldn't cook good food, I'd have killed those troublemaking bastards!"
"Aren't those two old bastards, Goodinia and Devo? I told you they'd get their comeuppance sooner or later, and heaven really does have eyes!"
"They came to cause trouble and got beaten to death. They died for nothing. These guys have kicked a hornet's nest."
The two consecutive explosions had already drawn everyone's attention. Seeing the four people lying in a pool of blood at the door, a flurry of discussion broke out. Some were curious, some were pleasantly surprised, and some were filled with emotion.
This is, after all, another world. Although human life has become precious and valuable in the Chaos City, but people still die in the city everyday. This is something that even the Gray Temple cannot completely control. However, it's not as if everyone is screaming and yelling like women.
Of course, now that something has happened, the Gray Temple will not ignore it.
In the Chaos City, death is always a big deal. A short, sharp whistle rang out, and several people dressed in the standard uniform of the Gray Temple quickly gathered in the direction of the Restaurant Mai Mi, their expressions somewhat solemn.
Mai Ge walked into the restaurant, his expression still calm, though the fist he had been gripping with chopstick was slightly white from the force.
Perhaps because Mai Ge • Alex had killed too many people with his sword back then, when the chopstick pierced Gabriel's throat, Mai Ge's state of mind was not greatly affected by his first killing. It was so natural that even he was a little surprised.
If he could, Mai Ge didn't want to kill anyone. Chaos City was still a fairly harmonious city. If he killed someone, he would easily be targeted, and his current situation wasn't suitable for him to be too high-profile.
But Gabriel's bloodshot gaze at Amy still stirred murderous intent in Mai Ge. This was a mad dog, a mad dog with nothing to lose, who could bite at any moment as long as he was alive.
Therefore, he must die, and die cleanly and decisively.
Making an example of him to scare the rest is a good thing for the restaurant, otherwise, it would be too annoying if all sorts of troublemakers came to cause trouble.
As for Goodinia, Devo, and the other one, they were just domesticated dogs. After a couple of slaps, they knew what pain was and dared not bark anymore.
The higher a person stands and the more wealth they accumulate, the more afraid they are of losing it, and the more they cherish their own life. Such a person has nothing to worry about.
As for the idea of killing them all, Mai Ge isn't that stupid. The Gray Temple has spent a hundred years managing the Chaos City in an orderly manner, the core of which is strictly following the law.
Killing Gabriel, whose hands are clearly not clean, could be considered self-defense, but if he also killed Goodinia and Devo, who were outside, he would probably end up in Basti Prison.
Just like his last words to Gabriel, although he stood behind Amy, but he was always ready to die for her and would never allow anyone to hurt her before he fell.
"Are you... alright?" Upon hearing the shouts outside, Yabemia's face paled slightly. Murder was a serious crime in Chaos City. Whether it was Amy or Mai Ge who did it, the restaurant would probably have a hard time continuing to operate, and Mai Ge might even be arrested.
Sally looked at Mai Ge with a similarly complicated expression. Although Mai Ge's body blocked her view, but what killed Gabriel was the chopstick that pierced his neck. Only one chopstick remained on the edge of Mai Ge's bowl.
"Let's continue eating. We still need to tidy up the restaurant later." Mai Ge nodded, sat down again, and looked at Amy, who was happily immersed in the delicious braised chicken. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. Indeed, watching Amy eat was the most therapeutic thing.
"Oh…" Yabemia felt much more at ease when she saw the smile on Mai Ge's face. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down again.
Sally glanced towards the door, then quietly picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
"Daddy, the braised chicken is so delicious! Can we have it again tonight?" Amy asked expectantly as she ate.
"Little Amy, if you like it, of course you can." Mai Ge smiled and nodded, putting a few pieces of chicken from his bowl into Amy's bowl and patting Amy's head.
"Daddy is so good." Amy rubbed against Mai Ge's palm and said happily.
The atmosphere in the restaurant lightened because of Amy's smile. The little girl was unaware of what was happening outside, and Mai Ge didn't intend to let her know.
"Captain, it seems to be that restaurant again! Who's the fool who dares to cause trouble here?" A skinny young man followed Bazel, running towards the direction of the Restaurant Mai Mi, and said with a strange expression.
"Check the injured to see if anyone has died. Don't rush to arrest anyone. Notify the Censorate to come over, determine the nature of the incident first, and then make a decision." Bazel's expression was somewhat grim. He glanced at Yulian, who had somehow brought out a deck chair and was now lying down playing with the two birds hanging by the door, and added, "Monkey, you go yourself, and while you're at it, convey this matter to Lord Brandley."
"Ok!" The young man called Monkey responded and ran to the two people lying next to the carriage. He checked the breathing of Goodinia and Devo with his finger and breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was weak, but they were still alive. However, they had many burns and wounds caused by the explosion, which looked a bit scary. As long as no one died, it was just an ordinary Level 1 incident.
"Monkey, Level 3 incident, report!" Bazel stood beside Gabriel's body, looking at his neck with a chopstick stuck in it and his eyes that hadn't closed even in death. His brows furrowed tightly. The thing he least wanted to happen had still happened.
"Ok!" Monkey's expression changed, and he quickly ran off. A level three incident meant that not only had someone died, but the person who died was not an ordinary person.
"Captain!" Five patrol officers arrived, glanced at the scene, and awaited Bazel's orders.
"Keep an eye on him. Bob, treat the injured first. The rest of you come in with me." Bazel pointed to Johnny beside him, but his sharp eyes were fixed on Mai Ge, who was eating in the restaurant. He then walked into the restaurant.
"Huh? Isn't that the direction of Amy's restaurant? Have they come back from their trip?" Crassus, who was about to enter a barbecue restaurant, stopped and looked at the restaurant with thick smoke billowing from the entrance in the distance. He muttered to himself in confusion and naturally turned around and walked towards Restaurant Mai Mi.
