"It's so late, where is Rena going?"

Yabei Mia stood on the roof, looked down at Rena, who was going downstairs in a down jacket, and asked with some curiosity.

"There might be something that needs to go out." Elizabeth also glanced down, her gaze resting for a moment on the delicate wooden box that Rena was holding.

"It's not safe to go out at night, should we go with her?" Yabei Mia was a little worried, and they changed their clothes and were about to go out of the city to practice their flying skills.

"She might have her own business." Elizabeth said, looking at Rena, who had disappeared at the corner of the stairs, thinking for a moment, and then saying, "Maybe we can protect her from afar." ”

"Well, let's see where she's going." Yabei Mia nodded, and walked to the other direction of the roof, just in time to see Rena come out of the alley, walk forward along the street, stop in front of the teahouse about a hundred meters away from the ice cream shop, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door of the teahouse opened, and a waiter dressed in black walked out, exchanged a few words with Rena, and invited her into the teahouse.

"Is Rena still going for tea so late? I feel like I've had a snack. Yabei Mia said in some surprise.

"Maybe it's not about drinking tea, it's about meeting someone." Elizabeth shook her head, looking at the teahouse and narrowing her eyes slightly, where did she feel some powerful aura, in a seemingly ordinary teahouse, there were two seventh-level powerhouses, which showed that this teahouse was not simple.

"It's Rena herself, do we still need to care?" Yabei Mia was a little tangled.

"You stay here now, I'll take a look." Elizabeth said, tapping her feet and flying towards the teahouse.

She always felt that Rena's expression was a little bad before, not like she was going to meet someone she was expecting, and the teahouse was a little weird, which made her wonder why Rena was going at this time.

……

"Rena, Miss, I didn't expect you to come so late." In the golden tea room, Bennet sat in front of the tea stove, smiled and got up to look at Rena who followed the waiter in the door.

The charcoal stove warms the tea room, and the smell of tea wafts out of the teapot.

"I'm sorry to be here so late to talk to Your Excellency." Rena bowed slightly, then stepped forward to put the delicate little wooden box on the coffee table, took two steps back, and looked at Bennet to get straight to the point: "I can't accept such a precious gift, and once again express my decision to you: I will not leave McMie's restaurant to go to your hot pot restaurant as the manager, nor will I use the hot pot skills created and taught to me by Mr. McGonagall to serve other restaurants." ”

After saying this, Rena felt that her whole person suddenly became much more relaxed, and the distracting thoughts that were constantly circling in her mind were also cleared up at once, nodded slightly to Bennet, and then turned around to leave.

"Miss Rena, if you don't accept this gift, you may lose something important." Bennet put away his smile, sat back in his seat, crossed his legs, looked at Rena's back, and said in a cold voice.

Rena's footsteps paused, and her voice was as calm as possible: "This is the city of chaos, a city of the rule of law. ”

"Even if it's a city of the rule of law, there's going to be darkness, isn't it? You should know this very well. Bennet's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Rena subconsciously clenched her fists, she had lived in the slums for more than ten years, and she knew very well that no matter how bright the place was, there would always be a place where the light could not shine.

"Accept this greeting gift, and you will gain everything, and walk out of this door empty-handed, and you may lose the most precious thing." Bennet picked up the teacup, rubbing his fingertips lightly over the rim of the cup, and suddenly let go of his hand.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, the teacup shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere.

"What a teacup, it's older, but it could have been used for a long time." Bennet said with some regret, but with a smile on his face.

Rena's body was trembling slightly, it was impossible for her not to understand such a naked threat.

She is just an ordinary slum girl who has been dependent on her mother since she was a child, just trying to live.

It used to be her greatest wish to cure her mother's illness, but now that her illness has been cured by Mr. McGonagall, she just wants to live a good life with her mother and let her live a comfortable and safe life.

Her eyes fell on the box, but her mother's stern look quickly came to her mind, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I refuse." ”

With that, she walked briskly towards the door of the tea room.

"I'll give you three days to think about it, and if you change your mind, you can come back to me at any time, all under the same conditions." Bennet picked up the teapot and slowly filled the other cup with water, and said in a cold voice.

Rena's pace quickened a little, and she almost ran out of the tea room.

After running for dozens of meters, Rena bent down and exhaled loudly, looking back at the tea room, under the golden decoration, like a terrible beast, staring at her with scarlet eyes, staring at her.

"What should I do? What should I do......" Rena's tears kept streaming down her face as she stood helplessly in the street.

She couldn't let herself accept everything that person said against her will, but she also didn't have the ability to protect her mother.

Bennet's menace and the sound of the cup shattering kept echoing in her head, grabbing her throat like a spell, making her want to cry helplessly.

"Rena, what's wrong?" Yabei Mia, who was standing on the roof, looked at Rena, who was squatting on the street and seemed to be trembling and crying, and quickly jumped off the roof, walked forward quickly, looked at Rena with concern and said, "Rena, what's wrong with you?" Are you okay? ”

Rena raised her head when she heard the voice, looked at Yabei Mia with a concerned face, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly threw herself into Yabei Mia's arms and cried.

……

In the tea room, two men came out from behind the screen.

One of the tall and thin men smiled and said, "Why don't you be direct, like this little girl, take out a knife and scare a few times casually, she is willing to do anything, and she is obedient." ”

"I want her to help me open a store and make money, if I force it too much, it may be counterproductive, and it is enough for her to understand some things." Bennet smiled and shook his head, "As long as she is willing to hand over the recipe completely, we can open hot pot restaurants all over the Nolan Continent, which is a very considerable business." ”

The two men's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Will McMie's restaurant come out and stir things up? I heard that they have been in the limelight lately. Another stocky man said.

"It's just a cook who has no roots in the city of chaos, although he relied on his daughter to get in touch with those two magicians, but as long as we keep our hands and feet clean, even the Gray Temple can't do anything to us." Bennet smiled a little contemptuously.
