"End?! Dream on! Let me go if you dare!" Duss, still emboldened by the alcohol, roared through clenched teeth.
“Mr. Layton, please explain what happened.” Annie ignored him and looked at Layton instead.
Layton doesn't seem like the type to easily get into conflicts with people.
However, judging from the traces at the scene, he was the one who struck first.
In just a brief encounter, An Yi realized that Duss was superior to Layton in both combat skills and the application of the system.
If it weren't for the element of surprise, Layton wouldn't have been able to hit Duss twice in such a short time.
If Dus had been caught by Layton in battle the first time, he would definitely have changed his attack strategy the second time and wouldn't have been caught by Layton so easily.
“He’s going to hurt someone,” Layton growled, pointing at Duss.
An Yi didn't speak, but looked around and nodded slightly, already understanding the situation.
Finally, attention turned to Duss.
Mr. Ducey Oakes.
"Hero of the Stick," that's what everyone calls you, right?
"Then, hero, could you please look up and see the people around you?" An'i stared into Dus's eyes.
6. Duss did not intend to do so, but he still subconsciously glanced around.
Some looked at An Yi with gratitude, and at Layton with admiration, but those who looked at Duss were filled with fear.
He was not surprised by this.
Afraid of him? You should be.
"You've noticed, haven't you? Many people are afraid of you."
An Yi said.
"A brave person is someone who dares to fight against demons."
The power that should have instilled fear in demons is now feared by ordinary people.
Does this mean that your courage is the courage to oppress others after gaining power?
Ok?
Speak up, you are using the power given by God to bully the weak and cowardly.
Do you deserve to be called 'Hero'?
Do not!
"You're neither 'hero' nor 'adult'!"
……
Upstairs, Milu heard An Yi's words through the floor and couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
"So...so handsome!"
The image of herself lecturing the "bad hero" also flashed through her mind.
"You're neither 'hero' nor 'adult'!"
Waaaaaah! So handsome! He's so incredibly handsome!
Chapter 63 Succubus: Um…we’ve been exposed.
"You're not worthy of being called a 'hero' or a 'man'!"
These words resonated deeply with Duss.
Deafening!
He doesn't deserve to be called a "brave man" because he used his courage in the wrong place.
He is unworthy of being called "adult" not only because he is not worthy of respect.
What "Hero of the Stick"? He's just a "stick" all that's left of him.
Seeing that Duss had stopped moving, An Yi sheathed the slime sword and then said calmly:
"Go back now. We will have a meeting tomorrow to exterminate the demons."
If you have the guts, come on over; if not, forget it. Losing one of our men saves us time in getting used to each other.
If you want to come, you know where to find us.
After he finished speaking, he addressed the people around him.
"All guests should go home first. It's our responsibility that this happened."
Whether you are injured or have suffered financial losses, the followers of the Church of Aldrich can help you deal with them tomorrow.
We are fully responsible for the renovation of this shop. After the renovation is completed, you can still come here to drink and consume as usual.
Everyone stared at An Yi in a daze for a while.
Then he stood up.
"Alright! Let's go back! These two heroes have shown me that not all heroes are trash like Duss!"
"The hero is right! Dus doesn't deserve to be called a hero! Nor does he deserve to be called a lord!"
"You are the true heroes!!"
“Ooo ...
While the drinkers praised the two men, they didn't miss the chance to criticize Duss; they had long wanted to openly and honestly insult him!
Dus doesn't just bully those who have a grudge against him.
Even if it's just a wrong look, Dus will beat up someone he has no connection with at all.
In short, it's about showing off how big your fist is.
This is not only unworthy of being called "the respect of an adult," but also unworthy of being called "adult" due to its immaturity.
Unusually, Duss did not react; he simply put away his stick at some point and stared blankly at the ground.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he left with the other departing drinkers.
Midway through, Annie asked Layton to evacuate the residents upstairs.
Counter-scouting. Search (∑�qun:栮偲∏琳_←肆《∑陆」牭 These people don't really want to stay at the inn, so just use the excuse that staying in the inn is dangerous to make them leave.
"Who's the manager?" An Yi asked the group of female staff who were cleaning.
A slightly mature-looking, beautiful woman walked out; she was the only one among all the women who was properly dressed.
“Hero, I am Rose Kurari, the shopkeeper here.” The beautiful woman smiled and bowed respectfully.
An Yi nodded: "Just like I said, we will take care of the shop's repairs."
Before the renovations begin, I have a few questions I'd like to confirm with you.
"Yes, please speak, hero." Rose didn't think much of it.
"The first question I'd like to ask is, where do your employees usually live?"
Do you have accommodation outside, or do you stay directly at the hotel?
"This is very important to me. If you usually live in the shop, then we'll probably have to arrange temporary accommodation for you when we're doing repairs," Annie explained.
"Ah...yes, hero, the girls usually live in the shop."
"We'll close normally from midnight until daytime to let the girls rest." Rose was surprised at first, then she said.
Hearing An Yi's words, the surrounding waitresses were all moved.
They only need to repair two walls, and they also need to prepare temporary accommodations for them.
Hero, you're such a kind person!
Even the guests never thought that way about them!
But what An Yi was thinking was...
"Hmm, that's good. Staying at the hotel means they won't have much contact with the outside world."
So even if it suddenly disappears, only the drinkers will notice.
This shop is involved in shady dealings; they probably think it's moved somewhere else.
"Another thing I'd like to know is, where do your employees usually go for fun?"
For example, going out with friends, where to eat or shop.
"If possible, I will try my best to arrange your temporary accommodations in a place that is convenient for your sightseeing," Annie continued.
Rose shook her head: "These girls spend most of their time working here and rarely go out."
If there's any form of entertainment, it's going to the town's large public bathhouse to bathe together.
Upon hearing the words "large public bathhouse," all the female staff nodded vigorously, looking at An Yi with expectant eyes.
Bathing? They certainly weren't going to bathe, but rather...
"Using the public bathhouse to meet men they wouldn't normally have access to, and thus engage in feeding activities."
"That's why they were so excited," Annie analyzed in her mind.
However, this also means...
Aside from eating, they have almost no social activities.
If they have no human friends, their disappearance from this city wouldn't cause panic, right?
Then, there's one more crucial point.
“You mean they stay here every day, working from morning till night, right?” Annie asked.
Suddenly, Rose felt a pang of anxiety, realizing that she might have said something wrong.
This work pattern is clearly abnormal for humans.
Furthermore, the idea that entertainment activities should only be limited to large public bathhouses does not align with the normal activity patterns of human beings!
But... it can still be salvaged!
