Just when Xue Hua was thinking about how to teach those guys a lesson, Annie very keenly captured the fleeting light of the store.
"Master, it seems that this store hasn't closed yet..."
"Really?" Xue Hua was stunned, then mobilized the vision of a surveillance king insect and scanned the biological signals of the grocery store.
As a result, he discovered that this seemingly silent shop actually had something hidden inside.
The biological signal vision of the Monitoring King Insect scanned no fewer than ten biological signal fluctuations in the store, and most of them had psychic fluctuations on their bodies. They were obviously professionals or mercenaries.
"Okay, let's go in and see what kind of tricks they are playing."
Xue Hua's brows gradually furrowed. These guys acted so sneakily and didn't seem like good people. But since they were all here, there was no reason not to go in and find out.
Moreover, it seems that they came here because they were invited by those guys inside.
So he walked forward and knocked on the dirty, rotten wooden door of the grocery store. At the same time, he shouted inside: "Is there anyone there? No one opened the door, but I came in on my own."
After he knocked on the door, there was still silence in the room, as if no one heard him at all.
However, the monitoring king insect's vision showed that the biological signal fluctuations of the professionals inside quickly changed their locations the moment he knocked on the door, from being distributed throughout the store to being concentrated near the door of the store.
"I came here at invitation. If you don't want to cause any misunderstandings, you'd better not do anything stupid."
Xue Hua squinted his eyes and warned, then stretched out his hand to push, and the door slowly opened with a "squeak".
The entire grocery store was dark, with only a sliver of light coming from outside near the window next to the door.
Xue Hua walked into the store nonchalantly, and instantly felt several auras quickly and secretly surrounding him in the center.
"Hey, I'm not here to cause trouble."
He raised his hands to show that he meant no harm, and sisters Anne and Funia leaned against his back and put their hands into the inventory, showing a warning.
"Can you detect us?"
In the darkness, a surprised voice came from beneath the shadow of a strange-shaped object.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"I don't know why I came here. It seems that one of you invited me here."
Xue Hua shrugged, not afraid of being surrounded by the other party.
In his psychic perception, although the guys surrounding them were all good players, their highest level was only about level 50, and they could not pose any substantial threat to him at all.
"Invitation? I don't remember...wait! Are you Mr. Xue Hua Xue?"
"Yes, of course it's me. Otherwise, who do you think would be willing to step into this dark place on such a beautiful night?"
Xue Hua rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
"...please prove your identity."
The shadow seemed to be very vigilant. Even though Xue Hua's appearance was exactly the same as the description he received, he had no intention of letting them pass directly.
"Proof? You invited me here and then asked me to prove who I am?"
"Sorry, but this is standard procedure, please understand."
"Okay, what evidence do you want? Do you want me to set fire to your peaceful home?"
"...Please show Mr. Xue Hua's power characteristics or spell emblem."
Black Shadow did not compromise at all because of Xue Hua's threat, insisting that Xue Hua prove that "he is himself"...
"...Okay, you asked for this!"
Xue Hua's eyes twitched, and huge primitive power immediately surged out of his body.
A bright and dazzling star slowly emerged from behind him. The flammable objects in the grocery store began to smoke one after another the moment the star's shadow appeared...
The terrifying high temperature swept violently around him, and all the black shadows surrounding him were forced to retreat in panic by the sudden heat wave.
The power of the star has just shown the tip of the iceberg, and this dilapidated and decaying grocery store is almost unable to bear it!
"That's enough, please stop!" The dark figure who had been talking to Xue Hua quickly retreated and spoke in a panic to try to stop Xue Hua.
If he continues to release his power, the whole house will probably burn down soon!
"You said enough is enough? Are labor and management your marionettes?"
Xue Hua, who had transformed into a cosmic silhouette form, spat out cold curses from his mouth. I don’t know who trained these guys. Is the majesty of the legendary strong man something they can violate at any time?
Xue Hua was already very angry because of these guys' sneaky behavior and half-spoken way of communicating. Now that he's here, these guys who don't know how to live or die actually need to verify their identity?
I've proven my identity to you, now it's your turn to talk about your reasons!
"Mr. Xue! Please put aside your anger for a moment. I will naturally explain everything to you..."
Seeing that things were starting to get out of control, the guy in the grocery store who had been hiding in the darkness and said nothing finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He could not remain silent any longer, otherwise the contact point they had finally established in the noble district might be destroyed!
Hearing his words, Xue Hua snorted coldly, and then withdrew the power of the star, but it did not eliminate the original prototype.
"Tell me, you have three minutes."
"Listen to me first, Mr. Xue..." The man in the darkness seemed to swallow hard: "The person who invited you here is not me, but our 'helmer'...
.”
"Wait a minute..." Xue Hua couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. It seemed like he had gotten involved in some large underground organization.
"First tell me what you are doing, why you came to me, and who is your 'leader'... Also, stop hiding in the shadows and get out of here!
"
He waved his hand violently, and a huge amount of spiritual energy was pulled directly into the shadow in the corner of the store. A figure screamed and was pulled directly in front of Xue Hua.
Under the faint light coming from the window, Xue Hua saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of him.
He looks like an ordinary little old man.
He was wearing a dirty, patched linen robe, and his face had a stubble that hadn't been shaved in several months. He looked tired and had a grimace on his face.
This kind of honor can be seen everywhere in the port area of King's Port, but in the aristocratic area... I guess if you walk on the street, you will be caught and thrown out by the security team, right?
"Hello... Distinguished Sir, I am Beard... As you can see, I am the owner of this grocery store. You can call me Old Beard..."
The old guy slowly got up from the ground and didn't seem to pay much attention to Xue Hua's rude behavior just now. He simply patted the dust on his robe, then raised his bitter face and greeted Xue Hua.
"...Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on?"
Seeing that the other party was just an ordinary person, Xue Hua couldn't get angry anymore, so he had to be patient and prepare to listen to the other party's explanation.
