Chapter 648 Su Su's Threat!
648
Broken!!!
Chen Ming subconsciously reached for the dagger at his waist.
But at this moment, violence is not the best way to solve the problem.
Once a direct conflict occurs, even if he and Su Su only want to escape, they may not be able to escape. If they are not careful, they may lose a whole level of experience, or... simply give up their lives.
Even if the two of them succeed in escaping, after alerting the enemy, all the magic crystal cores here will say goodbye to them completely... No, not just here, it is estimated that the magic crystal cores in all other places will be guarded more strictly, and it is impossible to steal them again.
Moreover, the magic crystal cores intercepted by Chen Ming in the Griffin Training Ground and the Nine Heavens Guild will also be discovered.
What he is focusing on now is a time difference.
He must take the crystal cores into his pocket before the Chinese high-level officials react.
He must not be discovered.
So, Chen Ming finally just held the dagger and did not pull them out after all.
"Old man, I'm asking you a question!"
In the room, the hurried shouting was getting very close.
Chen Ming looked up.
He suddenly found that the door at the back of the tea shop, which had been tightly closed, had been pushed open, and a guy in a black robe appeared there.
The outfit was exactly the same as the mages he met at the Griffin training ground.
Obviously, he had found the right place.
Seeing someone coming out, the boss didn't want to talk nonsense with Chen Ming anymore. He shook Chen Ming off, turned around and showed a flattering smile on his face, and apologized to the magician: "I'm sorry, there were too many people asking questions today, I blocked them several times, and wasted some time... Gentlemen, wait a moment, it will be done soon, soon!"
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go into the room.
Such an action made Chen Ming's back cold.
He didn't have a pass token on him now!
Once he touches the magic circle, the magic circle will react... Whether it is to alert the mages inside that someone has invaded, or to directly initiate coercive measures to kill the store owner, it will lead to the exposure of the matter.
No.
Can't let him in!
But...
What reason? !
What reason...
Money?
Chen Ming has it, but at this critical moment, he has no time to propose conditions and impress the store owner.
Threat?
What threat should be used?
His life?
But if I can take his life, those magicians can also... And compared with the powerful magicians, Chen Ming, a passerby who suddenly appeared, is simply weak. If he threatens his life, Chen Ming has no doubt that the other party will immediately turn to the magicians and sell him out.
What to do...
What to do? !
It's not that Chen Ming loses his temper at the critical moment.
It's that the store owner is only one step away from the magic circle.
One step of time.
There is no room for Chen Ming to think too much.
He watched the shopkeeper pick up his steps and walk towards the door covered by the magic circle.
At this moment, time seemed to become sticky and passed very slowly. Everything in front of him seemed to be opened at 0.25 times, making Chen Ming's thoughts faster than lightning.
But no matter how fast, it was useless.
The idea was generated and rejected in an instant.
The only clues were not enough for Chen Ming to find an effective solution.
"Don't come in, just outside the door, think of a reason to deal with him..."
"Send him away."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
It interrupted Chen Ming's thoughts and broke the atmosphere that almost suffocated Chen Ming.
Time suddenly flowed again.
The cold voice was familiar, but a little strange.
Is...
Susu? !
This little loli who has always been gentle and speaks softly... can actually say such cold words? !
No.
Now is not the time to think about this!
It was useless for Susu to threaten the store owner directly!
She didn't have any leverage over the other party at all... If you can't grasp the other party's weakness, threats are just useless harsh words, a stupid means to push the other party away and force the other party to stand on the opposite side of yourself!
Finished!
Chen Ming held the dagger again.
As soon as Susu threatened, he could already imagine the other party's defection and the subsequent head-on conflict.
Run ahead...
However, just when Chen Ming was ready to run away.
Susu said with a cold and vicious voice.
"Hurry, do as I say."
"Otherwise... your wife and your three children... will die!"
"We will keep our word!"
Wife and three children? !
How did Susu know?
Chen Ming was stunned.
And the store owner's foot, which had just been raised, was also suspended in the air, and he didn't dare to put it down at all.
He was...
scared!
The sudden change made Chen Ming a little confused.
Not to mention that Su Su's fierce threat made him feel strange.
More importantly...
How did she know...
My wife and three children? !
"Sir..."
"Yes, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"I will definitely do what you said, please don't be angry."
The shopkeeper suddenly spoke with a trembling voice.
He seemed to be speaking loudly to the magician in the tea shop, but in fact, every word seemed to convey a pleading meaning to Su Su.
But the magician did not appreciate it. He cursed, "Not angry? The brothers have been busy all day and are all hungry. How can I not be angry?!"
"Old man, what are you still doing outside?"
"Come in and cook!"
"Why are you so slow!"
The shopkeeper's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. He was obviously very afraid of this group of magicians, but...
He really didn't dare to go in!
No matter how fierce the magicians were, they were arrogant in their bones. They usually looked down on him and were arrogant. When they were unhappy, they might make a few magic tricks to tease him and vent their anger on him.
But it would not endanger his family after all!
"Gulp..."
He swallowed his saliva and tried to find a reason not to go in.
Suddenly.
He felt something was stuffed into his hand.
He lowered his head and looked carefully.
It was a black block, very dry, as if it had been exposed to the sun and dehydrated.
Chen Ming lowered his voice, "Tell him that you are preparing ingredients... This is specially prepared for the magicians. Taking this can increase the essence and replenish the spirit, which is very beneficial for the magicians."
The shopkeeper did not dare to think too much and immediately relayed it.
After saying that, he did not forget to lift the thing up for the magician to see.
"Huh? It's toad venom?"
"Isn't this a potion?"
"This thing does have the effect of replenishing the spirit, but it's the first time I've seen it used for cooking... Could it be the legendary medicinal food? Interesting!"
"You, a guy who makes a living from a small tea shop, actually know these things. Well, well, then we look forward to your finished product."
"It must be delicious!"
"If it doesn't taste good, what kind of bullshit medicinal food, we don't want it!"
The voice became smaller and smaller.
This guy was actually sent away...
Chen Ming, who had already prepared for a head-on fight, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I still have some materials left from refining the potion.
Otherwise, I really couldn't get away with it.
