Chapter 1335: He Killed His Ancestor

“So fast?”

Mag was a little startled. He removed his apron, and laid it across the chair. He then pressed on Jane’s quivering shoulders gently, and softly consoled her, “Don’t be afraid, Jane. They’re not here for you. Just stay in the restaurant and don’t come out.”

“But…” Jane looked at Mag as she was very worried that the Ten Kings Palace came because of her.

“We said we will protect you.” Mag smiled as he let go and walked out of the restaurant.

In the yard, a stocky abyss demon was rubbing the soil off the soles of his shoes with a stone chair, while another spatial demon was banging on the metal wok with the metal spatula, making a din.

“May I ask, how may I help you, gentlemen?” Mag glanced at the wok and spatula in the spatial demon’s hands and frowned slightly, but he wasn’t in a hurry to react.

“Are you the boss here?” That spatial demon looked at Mag with a small frown. What kind of demon was he? Why had he never seen them before? Was there a crayfish tribe amongst the demons?

“Yes.” Mag nodded.

The stocky abyss demon at the side put his foot down from the chair and strode over. He lifted his head and talked down to Mag, “I heard that you killed a demon who has a protective amulet? Are you going to revolt against the Ten Kings Palace?”

“A two-faced demon who had caused trouble.” Mag nodded before pointing at the huge protective amulet hanging next to the door, and calmly said, “If I remember correctly, according to the Ten Kings Palace’s rules, demons who have the commercial protective amulets have the right to kill any demons who cause trouble in their shops, right?

“You…” The abyss demon choked on his words. He had wanted to give this fellow a showdown first before squeezing some money out of him. He hadn’t expected him to bring up the Ten Kings Palace’s rules to counteract him.

“Ha. You said he caused trouble. Was there any proof? I heard nothing was left of him.” The spatial demon walked to Mag with the spatula and smirked.

“If he hadn’t caused trouble, why would I—a restaurateur—antagonize my customers? Because I was unhappy, so I killed a customer as an offering to heavens? Or because I found the customers too noisy, so I killed one to frighten off some others?” Mag looked at that spatial demon as if he was looking at a retard.

“You…” The spatial demon choked on his words too. What made him even more angry was the blatant sarcasm in this fellow’s eyes.

Mag sighed, and disappointedly said, “I heard the Ten Kings Palace managed this whole island very well when I first arrived at Carapace Island. That’s why I came here to open a restaurant. If buying the protective amulet of the highest level still can’t ensure a normal operation on Carapace Island, then I will have to go ask Ten Kings Palace for an explanation.”

“This chap.”

Anger appeared on both the spatial demon’s and abyss demon’s face. They were only the lowliest personnel of the Ten Kings Palace. They could act tyrannically on Carapace Island because of their Top Ten Demon Tribes’ identities and the name of Ten Kings Palace. Nobody had ever defied them, let alone not giving them face like this.

However, the protective amulets had brought the Top Ten Demon Tribes a lot of income, so the Top Ten Demon Tribes also regulated the role of protective amulets consciously in order to make more demons take the initiative to buy the protective amulet.

If this matter reached the headquarters, they would get into trouble themselves instead of landing Mag in hot soup.

The spatial demon pointed the spatula at Mag, and warned, “Let me warn you. You’d better behave yourself if you wanna make a living on Carapace Island, otherwise I will make life difficult for you.”

“I always follow the rules.” Smiling, Mag grabbed the spatula’s handle, and removed it from the spatial demon’s hand.

Looking at this spatial demon, he really couldn’t get angry with him. After all, he killed his ancestor during his very first battle, and the spatial demon tribe’s current unstable status was caused by him. In fact, he actually pitied him.

As for that abyss demon, he should be rushing home to attend his chief’s funeral in two days’ time. He wondered if he could still look down on people then.

The spatial demon and abyss demon could only leave in anger as they failed to cause any trouble for Mag.

“Seems like we really have to slaughter this sheep,” Mag murmured to himself thoughtfully as he watched those two demons’ retreating backs.

Boss is so formidable. Jane, who was hiding in the restaurant and watching the scene secretly, gazed upon Mag with admiration. His neither humble nor arrogant attitude and uncompromising confidence gave her a completely different understanding of him.

On Carapace Island, all the demons were used to the Ten Kings Palace’s oppression. She’d never imagine anyone would dare to resist them.

Mag closed the yard’s gates, and went back into the restaurant. He smiled at Jane who was standing at the door. “Go and take a nap, Jane. Your room is upstairs. Let me bring you up.”

“Mm-hm,” Jane answered softly, and followed Mag upstairs.

Irina was playing with Amy and Ugly Duckling in the room, and Amy’s tinkling laughter could be heard through the door’s gap.

“You will stay in this room.” Mag opened a door at the other end of the corridor. It was a small simple room with a single bed, a dressing table, and a window that overlooked the back garden. There was a pot of orchid that was blooming on the window’s sill, and the room had a faint flower scent.

Jane’s mouth was wide open for a long time in disbelief before she asked Mag, “A-am I going to stay here?”

“It’s a little small, right.” Mag looked at the room that only had standing room for one person. Well, there was no other choice, as he only asked the system to add this in at the last minute. His study’s space was already compressed, and if it had been bigger, it would have violated the building’s rules.

“No, no.” Jane swiftly shook her head. “Please don’t be mistaken. I didn’t think this room was small. Instead, I think this room is too good… I have never stayed in such a nice room before. If I’m not suitable to live upstairs, I can sleep on the floor downstairs too.”

Even the floor downstairs was cleaner than the places where she had stayed before. Most importantly, it was safe. She felt the sense of security that she never had before right here.

Mag felt a little heartache for Jane who was panicking. It was hard to imagine what kind of life this maiden had before this.

“This is your room. Take a break. You’ve worked very hard at noon, and it could get even busier in the evening,” Mag said gently before closing the door.

“My room…” Jane murmured softly as her gaze swept through every corner of the room. She reached out to press on the bed gently. It felt so soft and warm. She sat down gently on the bed after a moment of hesitation. After a while, she reclined slowly and lay on the bed.

“It’s so comforting.”

A smile appeared on Jane’s face. It felt warm and soft as if she was back in her mother’s bosom. A tear fell from the corner of her eye. Her mother might have survived if they had met Boss earlier.

The abyss demon twisted his neck in annoyance, and said, “That chap. I really wanted to pull his pincers off and stab them into his talkative mouth.”

“It’s fine. Since that fellow is running a business on Carapace Island, he will end up in our hands sooner or later.” The spatial demon revealed an evil smile.
