Huo Qizheng also casually ordered a few dishes. Suddenly, he said, "I suddenly need to go to the toilet. Coincidentally, I'm on good terms with the boss here, so I won't ask the waiter to come up. I'll go downstairs to urge the dishes. You just stay here and wait for me. Don't wander around, okay?"
Zhu Shuangyao didn't like to cause trouble for others, so she nodded obediently. "Okay, I'll definitely wait for you to come back and won't wander around."
Huo Qizheng comfortingly squeezed her hand. "I'll be back soon. Don't be afraid when you're alone."
Zhu Shuangyao nodded like a pecking chicken. "Okay."
Seeing that she had agreed to all his requests, Huo Qizheng finally left the private room. As soon as he stepped out, his face turned gloomy, and his whole aura became as cold and sharp as a knife. Anyone who dared to get close would surely be torn to pieces. He formed seals with both hands and set a sealing spell under the door of the private room.
The boss of this private - kitchen restaurant was an expert, and the ingredients used were top - notch. Since Huo Qizheng's abilities were sealed, he could only rely on the materials here to keep Zhu Shuangyao safe. With his current strength, he could only use the sealing spell. As long as Zhu Shuangyao didn't leave this private room or invite others in, no one could enter or harm her.
Huo Qizheng walked out of the private - kitchen restaurant and went far away until he reached an open space. He curled his fingers into claws and swung his hand backhand towards the air on the left. His movement was as fast as lightning, shattering even the after - images.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out in the air. A man immediately materialized from the air and collapsed on the ground, spitting out blood continuously. Huo Qizheng's eyes were cold and fierce. He punched towards the man's heart, clearly intending to kill him. The man was so scared that he hugged his head tightly and shouted, "Boss! It's me!"
Zhu Shuangyao sat in the private - kitchen restaurant boredly. In the past, she would have taken out her phone to read the news, but for some reason, the phone signal was extremely poor today, and she couldn't load anything.
Just as she was counting the patterns on the table boredly, the door was suddenly knocked. "Guest, your dishes are ready."
The dishes were ready? Why didn't Mr. Huo come up with the waiter? Zhu Shuangyao stood up to open the door and asked outside, "Where's the guest who came with me?"
The waiter replied, "That guest is catching up with the boss."
I see. Zhu Shuangyao opened the door, only to see -
What was standing outside wasn't a human at all! It had a human body, but there were no facial features where the face should be. Its face was as pale as a wall just painted with white paint. Although it had no facial features, it could still speak. "Guest, may I come in? Guest?"
Zhu Shuangyao was startled and instinctively punched out. After a scream, a sunny - looking man fell in front of her.
He cried out in disbelief, "How is this possible! I clearly took precautions. How could you hit me!"
Let's turn to another side of the story.
After Huo Qizheng realized that the other person was an old acquaintance, he stopped his killing move and only asked coldly, "Xie Ming, why did you use a prop on me? When did you come here, and how did you get in? Are you the only player who entered this world?"
Xie Ming quickly took a few healing pills to stabilize his injuries. Sure enough, even a boss with his strength sealed was not to be trifled with. After swallowing the pills, he said, "The system somehow went crazy and sent all the players away. I don't know where they went. I was sent here and given a fake identity. Moreover, our strength has been suppressed, and we can only use some simple props. I don't know how many other players came. And... and I came to find you as soon as I arrived..."
"Then I found that sister - in - law was confessing her love to you, so I wanted to test sister - in - law's feelings for you... Who would have thought that the one who was duplicitous was actually you, boss!"
The prop he used was called "Bloody Love", a useless prop in the Infinite Space. When two people confessed their love to each other and used this prop, they would randomly return to the day when they both fell in love with each other. If one of the confessors had shallow feelings, a fiery red mandala flower would be engraved on their face.
Huo Qizheng's face was gloomy. "Tell me, what else did you do?"
His tone was extremely calm, but there was an inexplicable sense of an impending storm. Xie Ming shivered and spilled all the beans. "Ning Shan said... said he wanted to test sister - in - law's courage. Now he may... may have scared sister - in - law to tears..."
A cold arc curled up on Huo Qizheng's lips. He grabbed Xie Ming by the collar. Although his voice was soft, there was an inexplicable sense of chill. "If anything happens to her, both of you will be buried with her. Do you understand?"
Xie Ming burst into tears. Who said that the boss could be casually teased because his strength had declined? He was clearly still the tyrant who had free rein in the Infinite Space. Wuwuwuwu.
Huo Qizheng picked up Xie Ming with one hand and quickly walked towards the private - kitchen restaurant. As he walked, he kept regretting. He had told her not to go out, but he had forgotten to tell her not to open the door. She must be crying her eyes out by now. Just thinking of Zhu Shuangyao with teary eyes made Huo Qizheng's heart ache.
When the two of them reached the outside of the private room, they heard voices coming from inside. "Everyone in the coffee shop was like a puppet. And as soon as we left the coffee shop, we didn't see anyone. Don't you think something is wrong? What if he really harms you?"
Huo Qizheng stopped in his tracks. There was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart - he also wanted to hear her answer.
If... if he really harmed her, how would she react?
