I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 461

Chapter 461: The Confrontation of Two People

Since Ouyang Xue and Li Chen’s wedding started at 3 PM, and the cafe’s “free” promotion began in the morning, a large number of people had already arrived before noon.

Even the “Zhao family,” who had previously caused us trouble, showed up.

“Your little golden statue.”

When I saw Miss Zhao from the Zhao family arriving with several security-looking individuals, I wasn’t sure what to say in welcome. I simply gestured towards the little golden statue they had previously given us.

“I suggest you take it back to avoid the risk of it being stolen.”

I had roughly calculated that the golden statue could be worth several tens of thousands based on my immature math. Later, I realized I had underestimated its value, it was worth several hundred thousand.

This was assuming the statue contained some metal, like an alloy base or impure gold content. Otherwise, if melted down for gold, it could be worth four to five hundred thousand.

Yet, it had been sitting on top of the fish tank at the store entrance for months without attracting any attention from passersby.

“I gave it to you before, so it’s yours now. How could I possibly take it back?”

Facing my “doubt,” Miss Zhao Yue of the Zhao family smiled with crescent-shaped eyes. “Your business seems to be doing much better than before.”

Meanwhile, various notifications from the livestream chat were coming through my headphones—

?Wow! It’s actually Miss Zhao! Why is she here for the wedding? What kind of background does Nuo’er’s shop manager have? This is quite intimidating!?

?Isn’t Miss Zhao the former manager? Isn’t Nuo’er the manager of the cafe now??

?You get the point. Zhao Yue might be unfamiliar to many, but I know her in Shenzhen. Her family, the Zhao family.?

?What’s the Zhao family all about? Don’t tell me they’re one of those four major families from popular online games or novels, and is there going to be a “don’t regret not knowing” moment??

Seeing that I had turned the camera towards Zhao Yue and her bodyguards, the livestream chat became quite active.

I seized the opportunity to switch the camera.

“So, everyone, feel free to comment. If anyone knows about Zhao Yue’s background or any black history, feel free to share.”

“And this is… Miss Zhao, I’m live streaming. Are you sure you want to chat?”

“It’s fine. I’m not averse to being on camera.”

Zhao Ming waved cheerfully at the camera, “Hello, viewers of the livestream.”

As usual, Zhao Yue was wearing her almost iconic t-shirt and hot pants. The clothes were so short that they barely covered her stomach, revealing her toned abs. The hot pants only covered about a third of her thighs, with the rest of her mature legs completely different from mine, showing tight skin and muscles with visible definition.

?This sister is so impressive, is she a martial artist? Those abs are incredible, like something out of a Western comic book.?

?Let me put it this way: the Zhao family has been in Shenzhen City for at least 200 years. You can think of them as official local power brokers, the influential kind. This one is Zhao Ming, the daughter of the Zhao family. She’s a big fan of boxing. If you follow women’s boxing or martial arts, you might know her.?

?Zhao Ming! The boxing champion from America? No wonder her physique is so impressive, those abs… I’m envious.?

?It’s strange, Zhao Ming came to celebrate her birthday, is Ouyang Xue’s background really that strong??

“So why did you bring so many security personnel?”

Listening to the comments from the headphones, I said helplessly to Zhao Ming in front of me, “There are already enough people here.”

“It’s because there are so many people that we came to see if we could help with anything,” Zhao Yue replied with a slight smile.

“When there are too many people, things get chaotic. It seems like your security might not be able to handle it all.”

It’s impossible for the security to be overwhelmed. Ai Luodi had gone home to sleep, and aside from Lan Jiajia, who is helping with the garden, and Chef Wang, who is cooking, along with Su Yunjin, who usually exhibits capitalist tendencies but almost never interferes with the cafe’s decisions, which ordinary employee could cause trouble?

As for me and Xiao Mo, we don’t need to mention it. Anyone who dares to harbor ill intentions related to me will instantly face Xiao Mo’s scythe. Gabriel and Fei Luo are top figures from another world, and Gwendolyn and Vivi were among the twelve heroes who defeated the Demon King back in the day. Forget about ordinary thugs, even an entire country with modern weapons might not be a match for them.

As for Dolly and… those two delivery workers run incredibly fast and are skilled in some magic. For example, Yueyue’s fire magic can evaporate moisture directly. A touch from them would likely cause severe burns to an ordinary person.

With them stationed in the store, who would dare to cause trouble?

Besides, even if someone were to try something “soft,” Mayor Ye Yuqing of Shenzhen City and Su Yunjin’s uncle, the leader of the local prosecutor’s office, are also here. No one would dare to make a move.

“Sister Ye Yuqing!”

While speaking, I saw Ye Yuqing and her team passing by. I quickly called her over, “We have a few old friends here, could you…”

Seeing my gesture, Ye Yuqing noticed Zhao Yue and her expression immediately became interesting.

After a brief silence, Ye Yuqing walked over, “Why is Miss Zhao here as well?”

“Don’t misunderstand. I know my place. I came here purely as a private citizen. I heard there was a wedding, so I wanted to join the fun. Besides, this café has recently introduced many new products, discovered new species, and sells fruits that can’t be bought elsewhere. I’m just tempted,” Zhao Yue said with a smile.

“Is that so?”

Ye Yuqing looked at Zhao Yue with a forced smile, scrutinizing her for a few seconds.

“What a coincidence, I also wanted to come here to try the new drinks and see the legendary Cat Jump Strawberry.”

“Then shall we… go upstairs and chat?”

“Let’s chat.”

Seeing that the two seemed to have a meeting in mind, I handed my live streaming equipment to Ye Yuqing.

“Mayor Ye, could you help us with the live stream for a few minutes to extend the duration? I need to water the garden outside.”

Without waiting for Ye Yuqing’s response, I quickly strapped the equipment to her head and turned to push open the café door, heading outside.

“Xiao Mo!”

Outside, in the garden’s shaded path, I found Miss Grim Reaper, who was trimming the rose branches and leaves.

“I’m about to collapse from exhaustion. So many strange people have come just because it’s free.”

“That’s normal.”

Xiao Mo continued to trim the rose bushes calmly.

“If you really don’t like it, we can take a break at Diwutith later. I’ll take you somewhere,” Xiao Mo offered.

“……”
