“Mmm!” Billy nodded slightly. “Don’t mind him.”
He naturally observed, and that was precisely the purpose of his visit, to see how the other party would react.
At the same time, in a room on the second floor, sat an elderly man in a blue robe.
This man, named Rafael Wilkinson, was the second-ranked powerhouse of the ‘Joy Restaurant’, with a cultivation of the eighth-rank Divine Realm.
There came a knock at the door.
“Come in!” Rafael Wilkinson said in a deep voice.
“Elder Rafael, I have something to report to you!” a man walked in.
“What is it?” Rafael Wilkinson stopped what he was doing and asked.
“Those people from two months ago are back!” the man responded.
“Which people?” Rafael Wilkinson was puzzled for a moment.
“Do you remember two months ago, when the princess had a conflict on the sixth floor?” the man said.
“Hmm?” Rafael Wilkinson’s pupils slightly contracted. “You mean the people who helped Tristen George out of trouble?”
“Exactly!” the man nodded.
“Are you sure?” Rafael Wilkinson asked again.
“Yes!” the man replied.
“OK!” Rafael Wilkinson’s eyes lit up. “Go and do a few things immediately!”
After saying that, he gave instructions to the man.
“Elder Rafael, should we inform Miss Rose about these matters?” the man hesitated after hearing Rafael Wilkinson’s words.
“No need!” Rafael Wilkinson waved his hand. “She’s not in the restaurant now. I make the decisions here. Go and get it done quickly!”
“Okay!” the man bowed and retreated.
“It’s really a stroke of luck!” After the man left, Rafael Wilkinson’s eyes flashed with a hint of brightness.
About twenty minutes later, the food and wine for Billy and his group were served.
“You get what you pay for. The dishes here look more appetizing than those in other restaurants!”
Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Judge picked up his cutlery to start.
“Judge, wait!” Billy said lightly.
“What’s wrong, Boss?” Judge asked in surprise.
“Stout, check if there’s anything wrong with the food and wine,” Billy said to Stout.
“Okay!” Stout hesitated for a moment before picking up a small piece of meat to chew on.
After a while, Stout spat out the meat and cursed.
Then he took out a pill from his pocket, threw it into his mouth, and said, “This ‘Joy Restaurant’ is really something!”
“Stout, is there really something wrong with the food?” Judge asked.
“Yeah!” Stout nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, it should be one of the Four Great Strange Poisons, the Hell Dark Flower!”
“Damn!” Judge cursed as well.
Casey and the others frowned at the same time.
They had heard of the name ‘Hell Dark Flower’ when they were in the Hundred Herbs Valley of the Polar Domain. Back then, the master of the Hundred Herbs Valley was poisoned with this strange poison.
“I’ll tear down this restaurant first!” Judge was furious.
If Boss hadn’t called out to him just now, he would have been poisoned by now. The poison of the ‘Hell Dark Flower’ is not easy to cure.
Boom!
With his words, he directly smashed a palm strike towards a nearby large round table and the chairs around it, instantly turning them into powder.
“What happened, sir?”
Soon, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager hurried over, followed by two other staff members.
“Bring that woman named Rose here!” Judge glanced at the man.
“What happened exactly?” The man frowned.
“You have three minutes. If I don’t see Rose, I’ll tear down this place.” Judge replied.
“Young man, let me give you a piece of advice. This is the ‘Joy Restaurant’, not any other place.” The man lost his patience too.
“If you want to cause trouble here, you’ve come to the wrong place!”
“Timing starts now!” Judge spoke again.
“Since you want to look for trouble, don’t blame me!” The man furrowed his brow again and waved his hand backward. “Get someone!”
“You seem quite confident!” Soul Chaser beside him swept a gust of wind with his hand, sending one of the dishes towards the other person.
“If you finish this dish, we’ll consider this matter settled. How about that?”
“Hmm?” The man held the dish, slightly puzzled. “What do you mean?”
From his expression, it seemed he was unaware of the poisoning incident.
“You eat first. After you finish, if you’re still alive, I’ll tell you what it means!” Soul Chaser replied.
“Huh?” Upon hearing this, the man’s face changed. “Are you saying this dish is poisoned?”
“I don’t know!” Judge shook his head. “Try it yourself!”
The man’s lips twitched.
From the gazes of Judge and Soul Chaser, he could vaguely sense that they weren’t joking with him.
What puzzled him was how there could be poison in the dish.
“Kid, how could there be poison in the dishes from ‘Joy Restaurant’!” A staff member behind the man pointed at Judge angrily.
“Even if there’s really poison, it must be you who put it there!”
“One minute left!” Judge ignored the man and continued to address the middle-aged man.
“I advise you not to stir up trouble for yourselves, otherwise, you’ll regret it!” The man took another deep breath and said.
“Time’s up!” Shortly after, Judge replied in a deep voice.
“No wonder even Prince Christopher died in your hands. Indeed, you’re quite skilled to identify the poison of the ‘Hell Dark Flower’!” Just then, the voice of an elder sounded.
Soon after, Rafael Wilkinson led forty or fifty men and women to stroll down from the stairs.
“Huh?” Upon hearing the words ‘Hell Dark Flower’, the middle-aged man trembled all over.
It was a good thing he hadn’t tried it just now, otherwise, he would be a dead man by now.
After calming down a bit, he seemed to remember something, then looked at Billy and others with a shocked face.
“Y-you… are the ones who killed the Crown Prince?”
Not only him, but most of the people on the other side had horrified expressions after hearing this.
The killers of Prince Christopher dared to appear so openly in the Imperial City? How daring they were!
“Where’s Rose?” Judge ignored the middle-aged man and turned to Rafael Wilkinson.
“If you want to see her, you’ll have to pass my test first!” Rafael Wilkinson replied, then looked at Billy.
“I have to admit, I admire you. Knowing that coming to the Imperial City means there’s no turning back, yet you still came!”
“You’re not so naive to think that no one in this Imperial City dares to touch you, are you?”
After saying that, without waiting for Billy’s response, he continued.
“Also, I’m curious, why did you come to ‘Joy Restaurant’ so conspicuously? What’s your purpose?”
“Was the poisoning your own idea, or did Rose instruct you?” Billy replied lightly.
“Hehe, does it make a difference?” Rafael Wilkinson sneered.
“Of course, it does!” Billy spoke again.
“Because it determines who between you and her will eat this table of dishes!”
