Steel steam and flame

"Has anyone really found this honest fat boss?" Cassia let out a long breath, and she didn't know what it felt like in her mouth. Should it be said that it was David's own problem, or was it something that caused David to be unaccepted by the city's environment? Cassia hopes it's the latter.

Sometimes he felt that people like David were not suitable for doing business in such a city. There were lights everywhere and black shadows could never be hidden. Not to mention that in the cities of the empire, the ending is bound to not be good. There are patrols on the street all the time, but at this point in time, there is no trace of them here. They perfectly disappeared under the city lights with the right posture at the right time.

Although Cassia knew that she gave David an ordinary standard pistol for self-defense, he also kept two magazines of bullets. But can those chubby palms withstand the weight of the gun and the temperature of the steel? The answer should be no, otherwise these people would not be standing in front of David's shop.

The steps were long and quick, and the route was a straight line that cut off the flow of people. Cassia walked up to the two people who were still chatting, and her face turned gentle again. He was now an ignorant and just want to Pedestrians passing by here.

The two of them were still continuing the conversation, probably talking about which tavern girl had better service, whose skin was smoother, and whose atmosphere in bed could be more enthusiastic. Pedestrians are hiding here, they seem to enjoy this feeling, the feeling of being scared by others. Just like a ferocious beast inspecting its captive prey, everyone turns their eyes away, fearing that if their eyes meet, they will become the next delicious meal.

But this situation changed at some point. In nature, there is no creature that stands absolutely at the top of the food chain. Everyone is closely linked to each other.

These two people are not tall, about the same height as Cassia, but the muscles on their bodies are a bit bulging, and their bodies look particularly strong. Coupled with a fierce look and eyebrows as thick as razor blades, it can indeed make most ordinary people retreat in front of them.

Cassia stretched out her two arms, and with a normal movement, she hit the two people directly with two hand knives, and then in just a moment, like a vise, she pinched the backs of the necks of the two people who were standing opposite each other and were about to fall. The fingers are tightly pinched on the bones of their necks, ready to break them into pieces at any time. Even though they were unconscious, the two people's faces were still flushed, and their huge bodies were slightly lifted by Cassia and dragged into the half-hidden shop. The whole process only took a few seconds. In the eyes of others, they were good friends who walked in with each other's shoulders.

The situation in the store was not good, at least when Cassia left the two unconscious people aside, when she glanced over, the jewelry in the glass cabinets in the rather large store was completely missing. Things inside the counter were rummaged out, and from the staff lounge at the back, the cry of a little girl could be heard, as well as the voices of David's two lovely daughters.

Cassia sped up and went in. Under the light, David was holding the pistol Cassia had left in his hand. The eyes and faces of the two little girls were full of tears. Their voices were choked but they did not dare to cry loudly. His wife squatted aside and held her daughter tightly in her arms, her head buried, her expression could not be seen, but her suppressed frightened cries could be heard. The old chef was also on the side, but he was sitting on the ground with blood in his nose and mouth. His chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily. There were two sharp kitchen knives in his hands, and he was staring at David standing in front of him. The two people who were there no longer had the strength in their arms to pick up the kitchen knife and throw it at them. Otherwise, Cassia must have imagined that the two smooth kitchen knives would fly to the two people facing David in a beautiful arc.

"Boss David, if you suddenly pull out a gun, then the deal between us will be difficult to negotiate. As long as you cooperate, I will not hurt any of you. You have to believe me!" The person who spoke was smiling. An ordinary man, the people next to him also look like strong, professional men. Even their eyebrows are the same as those of the two people outside.

An ordinary man doesn't feel the slightest fear when looking at David's gun. Before coming here, he had gone through many investigations and had already figured out David's temper and character. The helpless man in front of him, with blood still on his forehead, did not dare to shoot, otherwise he would not have taken advantage of the many forces in Gerun City to be attracted by the vague "urban legend" and quickly bribed him. The captain of the patrol team and several other officials quickly made a fortune in several shops in this area. There was no force to restrain him at this time. When those forces came back, he had already left on a merchant ship, and he didn't know where to go to enjoy himself. He didn't know the actual situation in the underground mine tunnel.

This is really a perfect plan. This is the last store they need to loot, but now there is something wrong in the place where there should be no surprise. The shop owner's wife and daughter happened to arrive at this time. Perhaps because he pushed too hard, an old man suddenly rushed out with two kitchen knives. Although the solution was successfully solved, the two daughters and wife were crying beside him. In the sound, the man in front of him somehow pulled out a pistol, and even now he still hasn't been able to find out the password of his bank card.

But facing a pistol, ordinary men are not afraid. Because when you look at the businessman in front of you, he looks like an amateur. Although the pistol suddenly dropped the temperature of the air, in his eyes, the businessman was only temporarily driven into panic, and the safety bolt of the pistol was still stuck there tightly and had not been opened.

If the robbery can be completed quietly, there should be no excessive bleeding. The man facing the gun had always considered himself a very gentleman, and he had a kindness in his heart that no one else had. Because no robber can be as self-restrained and good-tempered as he is. After all, the smell of blood is too fishy, ​​and it is difficult to clean off if it is splashed on his body. This outfit cost a lot of money to make. It took a long time just to measure the dimensions of my body. If you can do it simply, don't make it too troublesome.

But the fat boss in front of me seemed to want things to become complicated.

"Boss, do you know the steps for shooting?" The man smiled, "You have to think clearly about this matter. Your wife and two lovely daughters are right next to you. As long as a bullet doesn't have eyes, then... ,,”

Before he finished speaking, David's eyes suddenly turned red.

The ordinary man smiled and took out his pistol from his chest with his hand on his chest. It was pure black and had a small caliber, but it was enough to kill everyone who was hit by the bullet.

The air became cold again when the ordinary man took out the pistol. David's hands were shaking a little. At that moment, he glanced at his wife squatting beside him, and the sound of his two daughters crying in his ears continued. Pass.

What an incompetent man. David thought to himself that when he came to Gerun Oasis from other oases, he had actually thought about some things. Are you really suitable for business? His personality problems caused him to have a lot of trouble in business. The environment here seems not to treat honest people very much. Are there any businessmen like me who want to do business quietly? Sometimes he really wanted to be the two people he met in the desert, one was the person he called his boss, and the other was a gentle-looking boy. Maybe just the light in their eyes is something that will take a long time for me to learn.

David gritted his teeth. The moment the man in front of him took out his gun, his stiff fingers regained their flexibility, and he pressed the trigger hard without hesitation.

But the steel trigger was only depressed halfway, and it just stopped there like a wall. The pistol did not fire as it should, and the man in front of him did not fall down as he thought in his mind. A layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body. David's heart sped up, and the blood pouring into his head made his world turn upside down and start spinning.

He watched the man hold the pistol tightly in his hand, and the dark muzzle turned, but it was not pointed at him, but towards his wife and daughter who were squatting aside.

"I'm sorry, owner of the jewelry store, I think we still need some sideshows to make you understand what the current reality is like." The ordinary man's words have lost the magnetic flavor they always had. This is His original voice.

I finally worked up the courage and started to seek changes, but is it still too late? David's eyes bulged, and no matter how strong his fingers were, there would never be a miracle of the safety bolt failing to protect him.

"Although it's not a good thing to wake others up, I want to apologize to you first. I'm sorry." The ordinary man felt that someone was standing behind him at some point, and he heard a slight cough from that person.

"But I still can't help but want to remind you that you are the only one who has been living in a dream. The current reality is that the consequences for you will be tragic." Cassia slashed the man next to the ordinary man with his hand. At the same time as he was knocked unconscious, another hand reached out and held the man's wrist, never moving an inch. Then the hand that had just been freed after knocking out the other person gently took the pistol held by David.

"Fat boss, take the old chef, daughter and wife to the nearby clothing store to have a rest and take care of the wounds. Leave it to me to deal with it." Cassia still spoke in the same tone as when she was having dinner with David and the others, with a faint calmness and mild.

David's eyes were red, and he finally held back the tears. He helped the old chef beside him. His wife, who had her head buried, also opened her eyes wide at this time, like a frightened bird. She pulled her two little daughters with her. David left here immediately.

"Okay, now that everyone is gone, we can have a good talk about what is reality, what is illusion and dreams." Cassia watched David and others leave before crushing the man's wrist. , the pistol fell to the ground, the man howled, his face turned red, he was afraid of scaring the two little girls again. "Let me tell you, this is a very meaningful philosophical issue in the history of theology! You have to believe me!"
