Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"Where are we going today?"

Hera actually didn't care about Ye He's destination, but after Ye He took her out of the hotel, they actually took a carriage to a very luxurious restaurant for breakfast.

In her impression, Ye He was not the kind of person who pursued quality of life very much, so she felt that Ye He must have other intentions in coming here.

“What do you think of this restaurant?”

After eating and drinking his fill, Ye He wiped his mouth and asked Hera a question that was irrelevant to the question.

"It's quite good. Its decoration and design are obviously the work of a master. From the food to the service attitude of the waiters, I have no complaints."

After answering Ye He's question honestly, Hera looked at Ye He with a slightly expectant and inquiring look.

She didn't know why Ye He asked her this, but her intuition told her that good things might come to her soon!

Sure enough, as Hera finished her words of praise, a bearded man in a suit and tie came to their table with the waiter.

"Welcome to my restaurant, Mr. Ye He, and thank you for your recognition, Ms. Hera. I sincerely hope that you two will have a good dining experience here."

It seemed that the restaurant owner just came out to entertain the guests, but since he knew the identities of the two people, his appearance could not be just for entertainment.

There are so many restaurants in South Folia. Even if he thinks his restaurant is one of the best, it is not famous enough to attract a great god like Ye He.

Therefore, he actually came here to find out whether Ye He had any ulterior motives by dining in his restaurant.

Ye He did not disappoint him. He smiled and nodded at him and said:
"We really had a good experience, you did a great job."

so?
The restaurant owner pricked up his ears.

"So..." Ye He blinked:

"I decided to save your life and not let you be killed for no reason."

The air in the restaurant suddenly became quiet.

Hera and the waiters who followed the boss all showed surprised expressions and looked at Ye He in amazement.

Ye He was at ease, and the restaurant owner gradually lost his smile and his expression gradually became panic-stricken.

In the past few seconds, he focused on thinking about whether Ye He was a man who would exaggerate.

No matter how you look at it, this priest is too powerful and has too much financial status to lie to a restaurant owner like me.

Not worth it!

He could have robbed anything he wanted! But he still chose to say so, it must be because his restaurant really made him feel satisfied.

"I... am all ears."

"It's simple. You once ordered a large amount of food for an employer, but within three days, you sold all of it to the lower-level market."

Ye He adjusted his sitting position, posing in a comfortable position, and explained to the restaurant owner very straightforwardly:
"And your employer has been targeted by me recently. He doesn't dare to let me find him, so he will definitely erase all clues that may lead to his whereabouts. Do you understand?"

Having said that, Ye He deliberately stopped, looking forward to seeing the restaurant owner's feedback.

"...I understand! But how should I..."

The other party obviously believed Ye He's words. Being targeted by this priest is not a good thing. When disaster is imminent and death is approaching, everyone will protect their whereabouts at all costs.

He wanted to get a way out from Ye He, the instigator, but then he remembered what he should say and do.

So he stopped halfway through asking, turned around and prepared to call away the waiter who was following him.

What he was going to tell Ye He next couldn't be heard by these people...

"Whoosh!"

"Ding!!!"

With a flash of cold light, a dinner knife thrown by Ye He knocked another dinner knife out of the hand of a waiter.

If Ye He didn't do this, the restaurant owner would be killed by his employees.

Ye He didn't want to waste a drop of water of life. Although he was rich and had a lot of void currency, it didn't mean he was willing to waste it.

And regardless of whether the restaurant owner's neck was cut or not, when he found that his employees showed murderous intentions towards him, he knew he had no way out.

As the restaurant owner stared at his employee in surprise, vines growing out of the ground had already bound him.

But the waiter still stared at his former boss with an extremely cold gaze, and then looked at Ye He who had a playful look on his face and Hera who had a surprised expression on her face.

"The lion will not let you go."

After saying this, the corner of the waiter's mouth twitched, and his body suddenly tensed up, and then... he died!
Some kind of monster-killing ability had infiltrated his body, so that whenever he spoke a certain keyword, his internal organs would be pulverized into a pulp by this power.

"I suppose you understand your situation?"

In order to avoid any complications, Ye He called the restaurant owner back to his senses.

"……Yes."

The restaurant owner turned around and nodded to Ye He, his face pale.

A few minutes later, Ye He, who got a satisfactory answer, walked out the door with Hera, who got the restaurant.

Hera was extremely excited and put away a restaurant transfer contract.

She never expected that the terrified restaurant owner would actually offer to trade the restaurant for a chance to survive.

Yehe asked Hera to transport him to the other side of the empire on vines, thus allowing Hera to make the deal.

He is no longer interested in money, and it's pretty good to make the women around him happy.

What made Ye He look satisfied was not only that the restaurant owner told him the name of the company that ordered the large amount of ingredients, but also the news he knew about "Lion".

"The Lion is a gangster and the underground emperor of Navia. There are twelve such underground emperors in the Federation, roughly distributed in the territories of various major states.

Navia is so far away from here... I didn't expect that the person you are looking for would cooperate with the "Lion" gang..."

There is no such unified and powerful gang force in South Folia. Vignan, whom Ye He met last night, is already one of the best.

But even though it spans half of the federation, the tentacles of a gangster known as the underground emperor are definitely not something the restaurant owner can afford to provoke.

Just look at the waiter just now, before he had the attack, even his boss didn't know he was a Lion. "Don't you want to check his body?"

Hera was in a very good mood and decided to use her brain a little. In her impression, gang members usually tattooed their bodies to represent the organization they belonged to.

“Well, I’ve checked it out. There’s a simple lion head tattoo on his back. It should be the [Lion] gang emblem.

The Federation is really interesting. The peace and prosperity of this country are actually closely related to the gangs that represent violence and chaos. "

Ye He responded to Hera casually and expressed his own thoughts.

He was now walking with Hera towards the company that had ordered a large amount of ingredients.

Why was Ye He able to accurately capture this clue, which even the researcher behind the scenes ignored?
In fact, the principle is very simple. Insects like Zhizhi are most likely developed by this researcher recently and right here.

The growth of living things requires sufficient energy, and this batch of ingredients, most of which are meat, is exactly what the researcher intended to use to raise insects and replenish their energy.

But he undoubtedly failed, and then turned to working with the local church to create artificial core-derived ores to feed the bugs.

This sounds counterintuitive and stupid, and the researchers couldn't have been unaware that the bugs only eat ore.

But this was a meaningless and wasteful move he was forced to make in the process of fighting against his superiors who were trying to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and in the process of his own request for increased research funding.

Not everyone can have a good boss like Ye He who doesn't care about money, listens to his subordinates, gives them whatever they ask for, and never questions his employees or acts smart.

Researching war weapons is a "big project" that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

From the fact that the researcher could only release some insects to harass the town of Alvin, and from this small-scale experiment, Ye He knew that he must have been subject to many restrictions from "above".

Last night, Ye He learned from Vignan that there were only three relatively large capital flows in Nan Folia recently.

One of them is for the opening of a new commercial street for a force, which can be ruled out.

The other two items are quite interesting. One is a donation campaign to a local church, which is a bit like the researcher is "paying" the church.

Another item is that the restaurant owner just purchased a large amount of ingredients.

The size of the insects determines that they have to eat tons of food each time. As an entertainment city, each restaurant welcomes a relatively stable number of customers every day.

There haven't been any "big events" to attract customers in South Folia recently, so needless to say, when a restaurant orders excessive and massive amounts of ingredients, it must be related to the researcher's work performance to please the "superiors".

Even though it was only once, and even though this batch of food was never sent to his research base.

But this also led to the researcher's negligence, and he forgot to cut off this clue that interacted with the outside world, which was firmly grasped by Ye He.

Although he carefully used the names of several companies to carry out the "intention to transfer", as long as he took action, this clue could be traced back to the source.

Ye He spent the next morning following this clue to find the cause of the crime.

The restaurant owner has subordinates who cooperate with the gangsters. This is just a precautionary measure. It is impossible for the gangsters to have so many people to set up insurance everywhere on this clue.

In the end, we only deployed personnel in two positions: the restaurant owner, the "Party B", and the "original Party A", the head of the clue and the first company to receive the researcher's instructions.

They also knew that they could not confront Ye He head-on, and that it would be possible only with the full strength of the entire federation, so they could not deploy a large number of manpower to spy on Ye He's actions from time to time, so as not to send more clues to Ye He.

So around noon, when Ye He and Hera walked into a cleaning company that was preparing for lunch break...

Ye He first raised his hand and pointed towards a cleaning lady in the corner, and Hera let the vines control her.

The two of them took the employee into the office of the company's boss.

The boss, who was enjoying a lunch box made by his newlywed wife, obviously did not expect to have such a visitor.

His identity and status were the lowest among the company bosses Ye He had visited today, and he didn't even know who Ye He was.

But the female worker who was dragged in by the vines was the maker of his lunch box, his newlywed wife!
"Who are you? What do you want to do to my wife?"

"Shhh."

Ye He signaled him to be quiet and not to make a fuss, and then asked Hera to hang the female worker upside down in the office with her back to the boss.

Rather than the moving vines, the boss was more surprised that after the hem of his wife's clothes fell off, a lion head tattoo on her lower back was exposed to the air.

He couldn't recognize Ye He, but he would definitely recognize what the tattoo represented.

The underground emperors of the Federation are notorious. Once you join, you will have to serve them forever.

"My dear...are you from... [Lion]?"

The boss showed an extremely desperate expression when he saw his wife being put down to face him.

The female worker was already in tears. She shouldn't have been attracted by this charming, hardworking and positive man.

If Hera hadn't blocked her mouth with vines, she would have shouted out that word and died once and for all.

The boss also sat back in his seat dejectedly, his face pale.

The phrase "serving the mafia forever" is not just talk.

If your wife is a gang member, then you are also an outer member of the gang.

They won't even let go of the children they have with their wives!

Whether you know it or not, whether you have a branding tattoo on your body or not, as long as a family member is involved with gangs, you will never be able to get rid of this "stigma"!
"She is not just a member of the Lions. She also has the responsibility of killing you in advance if you are about to reveal the information I want to know."

Ye He didn't care about the grudges between the young couple. Instead, he added fuel to the fire and stepped on the man's broken heart, completely shattering his love.

The man opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to resist Ye He's words, but his wife, with tears streaming down her face, lowered her head at this time.

His wife's expression of being ashamed to face him proved that what Ye He said was right.

"But I can give you a chance. I can buy your company and send you to the Empire, so you can stay away from the Lion and start a new life. How about that?"

Ye He was quite interested in how loyal the members of "Lion" were, so he simply tested them before exploring the intelligence.

The man's eyes immediately lit up, and the woman immediately looked up at Ye He in surprise.

But her gaze quickly dimmed and she lowered her head again.

This performance once again shattered the man's heart, which had just shown signs of healing.
