Chapter 2442

And with the arrival of Viper's group, the entire city was in chaos, and everyone was shrouded in fear.

After all, this was a group of star bandits who killed without blinking; who knew if they would go crazy and slaughter the city?

Such things hadn't happened before.

And the most nervous one at this time was naturally the City Lord.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord looked at the crowd below and said with a solemn expression.

"What should we do now? They'll be here to kill us in a while."

This group of star bandits suddenly descended on the city; the first to bear the brunt must be their City Lord's Mansion.

After all, even a fool knew where the most treasures were in the city—it must be the City Lord's Mansion.

If it were just treasures, the City Lord would grit his teeth and give them away, but if the other side robbed the treasures and still wanted to kill people, what then?

Facing the City Lord's inquiry, the crowd below was silent; at this time, they had no way either.

Seeing no one responding to him, the City Lord couldn't help but curse angrily.

"A bunch of trash! Don't you usually talk quite a bit? Why have you all become mutes at the critical moment?"

Facing the City Lord's scolding, the crowd below remained silent.

What way could there be? The group of star bandits that came wasn't weak, and the leader was an Emperor Realm expert.

Facing such a strength gap, any method was nonsense.

So they could only choose to be silent. Just as the hall was in dead silence, a soldier ran in hurriedly.

"City Lord, that group... that group of star bandits, they are... they are..."

"What are they doing?"

"They are capturing the managers and spirit chefs of all the restaurants in the city."

Huh???

Originally thinking that this group of star bandits was coming for him, but hearing this, the City Lord and everyone present were stunned.

What the hell? This group of star bandits didn't come to the City Lord's Mansion, but captured the managers and spirit chefs of all the restaurants in the city?

What kind of operation is this?

You star bandits don't rob treasures, but rob restaurants—what's the meaning of that? What good things can be in a restaurant?

The City Lord found himself a bit confused and couldn't understand what Viper's group meant at all.

Everyone fell into deep thought, and for a moment, they were all a bit lost.

"City Lord, I think we should stay put for now and see what this group of star bandits wants to do."

Viper's group's actions were indeed strange; everyone couldn't figure it out, so it was better to play dumb and stay put.

See what this group of star bandits wants to do first, and then make plans.

Hearing this, the City Lord pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The City Lord's Mansion closed its doors tightly and didn't make any moves, but Viper didn't care about this at all.

At this time, all the restaurant managers and spirit chefs in the city were brought to Viper one after another.

These managers and spirit chefs were standing in front of Viper with weak legs, surrounded by fierce star bandits.

They were also confused and full of question marks. Why are you capturing us?

We are just restaurant owners; what is there in a restaurant worth robbing?

Never heard of star bandits robbing restaurants.

You say you're eating a free meal, I can understand that, but what's the meaning of bringing us all here?

Some managers hadn't encountered such things in their entire lives.

After everyone arrived, in the anxious and fearful waiting of the crowd, Viper finally spoke.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone has been brought."

"Good. Inviting you all here is mainly for one thing."

"Leader, please speak; we won't refuse anything we can do."

Hearing this, the leader, who was also the manager of the largest restaurant in the city, said hurriedly.

Did they have the power to refuse at this time? Clearly not. The situation now was that whatever Viper wanted, they would give.

Even if they didn't have it, they had to find a way to get it.

They thought they were going to lose their fortunes, but following Viper's next sentence, these managers and spirit chefs were all stunned.

"You run restaurants, so you should have your own channels. I want the ingredients you have—all ingredients."

Huh???

Once these words were spoken, everyone thought their ears had problems.

One after another, they looked up at Viper with confusion, their eyes full of suspicion. What does this mean?

Not robbing treasures, not robbing spirit stones, not even robbing money—you're robbing ingredients?

No, you star bandits, all of you have cultivation and have long since reached Grain Bigu—what do you need so many ingredients for?

Seeing everyone standing there in a daze, Viper frowned, and his tone became cold.

"What, didn't you understand what I said?"

"No, we understand, we understand. We'll go prepare it right away."

Although they didn't know what this group of star bandits was thinking, seeing Viper frown and the faint aura emanating from his body, everyone nodded repeatedly.

Afraid that if they were a second late, their heads would fall.

This group of star bandits really dared to kill people, and they were the kind who did it unscrupulously.

Seeing everyone agree, Viper nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, the group of restaurant managers began to contact ingredients and transport them over at the fastest speed.

At the same time, Viper's gaze also looked at those spirit chefs.

Those two people under Ye Changqing were clumsy; it was time to equip Ye Changqing with two professional people.

The number didn't need to be too many; two would be enough, mainly to help Ye Changqing.

Being stared at by Viper, the group of spirit chefs felt anxious.

No, why are you staring at me? I'm just a cook.

Why don't you go rob the City Lord instead of staring at a group of cooks? How much money can a cook have? If it really doesn't work, you can rob the managers.

A group of spirit chefs felt like they had been bitten by a dog; who would have thought that one day, these star bandits wouldn't even let go of cooks?

It was simply crazy to the extreme.

"Among you, who has the highest spirit chef cultivation?"

To find someone, naturally, one had to find the best. Hearing this, although the group of spirit chefs were still confused, their eyes couldn't help but look at two of the middle-aged men.

These two middle-aged men were both fat and looked big-eared.

As spirit chefs in the city, everyone had contact with each other on weekdays, and spirit chef cultivation wasn't a secret, so naturally, they all knew each other a little.

At this time, the two middle-aged men locked by the crowd's gaze, although they had long been sweating, felt their hearts skip a beat, but still bit the bullet and stood out.

"Leader, it's the two of us."

At this time, hiding was definitely not an option; it was better to have a good attitude, perhaps they could save their lives.

The two lowered their heads, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. Viper sized them up and turned to look at Ye Changqing.

"Changqing, see if these two are okay."
