“The Silver Armor Guard?!”

The faces of all those in the restaurant changed dramatically. These were the imperial guards of the palace, who were one grade higher than the city guards. They couldn’t believe that such existences were here. The people present were of high status, so they quickly figured out the reason.

Without a doubt, these guards served the imperial concubine. Black Armor, Silver Armor, and Gold Armor were the three chiefs of the imperial guard under the Divine Emperor. Their strength was so formidable that they were not weaker than any head of the aristocratic family. Among them, Silver Armor was very close with the imperial concubine, so it wasn’t hard to figure out why these guards were here.

“What should Mister Bu do?”

Every Silver Armor Guard here was a mid-grade God, and their captain was even a high-grade God. Although their numbers were small, as someone who guarded the imperial palace, their strength was extremely fearsome.

The top floor of the building was almost empty, with only the Silver Armor Guards surrounding the restaurant. Although this skyscraper was the Luo Family’s property, these guards didn’t care at all. They still surrounded the restaurant without scruple.

Hu Lu got up from his chair, frowning. He had a very good impression of Bu Fang now, who not only possessed fearsome fighting strength but could also cook delicious food. He was very happy to have a friend like this. And he felt that these Silver Armor Guards were too aggressive. The Divine Emperor had decreed that no one should pursue this matter anymore, but they still surrounded the restaurant. They simply ignored the emperor’s decree.

The captain slowly stepped into the restaurant with his hands clasped behind his back, emanating a mighty and murderous aura. These guards were seasoned soldiers who had been hardened by blood and death, so their auras were much stronger than that of ordinary guards.

After licking the gravy of the spicy crayfish from his finger, Hu Lu looked at the captain and said, “Could you please leave here for my sake? Mister Bu is my friend…”

The captain turned and rested his cold eyes on Hu Lu. A faint smile came over his face. “My lord…Do you want to meddle in the Silver Armor Guard’s business?” he said lightly.

Hu Lu paused, then an angry look came over his face.

“Lord Silver Armor had ordered us to bring that chef back to the palace. In fact, this is not only his order but also the command of Her Imperial Highness. Do you dare challenge it now?”

The captain looked down his nose at the young master. He was a high-grade God, and his aura was especially formidable. Even though Hu Lu was an exceptional Demigod, he was fearless.

Hu Lu’s face was a little ugly. He realized that this captain wouldn’t show him any respect, so he unleashed his aura. With a rumble, the Law of Destruction appeared over his head, giving off terrible fluctuation. “The Silver Armor Guard is too… defiant,” he sneered.

Luo Sanniang had stood up as well, and her face was grim. ‘The imperial concubine is not going to spare Bu Fang. It seems that Mo Hen really holds a high place in her heart,’ she thought. ‘Well, she might also just want to salvage her reputation…’

“My lord, don’t force me… The price is not what you can afford. In fact, not even King Pingyang could afford it.” The captain was still sneering, and the contemptuous look on his face further provoked Hu Lu.

Inside the restaurant, Bu Fang, who was examining the System’s reward, woke up. His eyes flickered as he glanced expressionlessly outside. The noise had attracted his attention. He rose to his feet, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked toward them with an indifferent face.

He then saw the Silver Armor Guard, consisting of a dozen mid-grade Gods and a high-grade God. Their auras were powerful, and the whole building seemed to be enveloped by the pressure emanating from them. At a glance, he knew that they came with malice.

A moment later, someone from the Luo Family had arrived. “My lady, His Lordship asks you to come back with us,” the man told Luo Sanniang while glancing frightfully at the Silver Armor Guard.

Luo Sanniang bit her lip and glared at the man. “Tell my dad that I will not leave here until this matter is settled!”

That took the man aback.

Glancing at Luo Sanniang, the captain snorted and bellowed, “How dare you!” His voice exploded like thunder, echoing through the air and almost shattering everyone’s eardrums. Then, the pressure of a high-grade God enveloped the whole place. The strength of this captain was much stronger than that of Mo Feng, and he should have comprehended over fifty Laws.

Hu Lu took a step forward. His face was cold.

Luo Sanniang’s friends were hiding in a corner, trembling in fear. They dared not act wildly in the face of the Silver Armor Guard, as their status was nowhere near as noble as Hu Lu and Luo Sanniang. The former was King Pingyang’s son, while the latter was the young daughter of the Luo Family.

“In that case, don’t blame me for not showing mercy… Lord Silver Armor had told us to kill anyone who resists!” No sooner had the captain said that than his aura exploded out and his eyes burst into silver light.

However, just as he was about to attack, a faint voice rang out from inside the restaurant. “You will pay if you dare to attack my customer here…”

Bu Fang’s lean figure slowly walked over, his face indifferent.

The captain’s pupils constricted. Bu Fang was the man they were here for! “You finally showed up! We’re here on Lord Silver Armor’s orders to arrest you and bring you to the dungeon!” His aura fluctuated, then he took a step forward, appeared in front of Bu Fang in a flash, and reached out a hand.

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, and his face grew colder. The repeated harassment had annoyed him. Worst of all, today was the opening of his restaurant, and yet the imperial concubine still sent someone to cause trouble.

Even as the captain struck out, a beam of silver light suddenly appeared, and then Whitey was in front of Bu Fang, reaching out its huge palm and crashing it with the captain’s hand. A thunderous rumble rang out as their palms collided, producing powerful blasts that swept out in all directions.

Whitey took a step back, its body clanging and its mechanical eyes flashing. The captain didn’t move at all, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

“A puppet? How dare a mere puppet stop me?” His nostrils flared.

“Troublemaker, you will be stripped as an example to others.” Whitey’s mechanical voice echoed through the whole place.

Stripped as an example to others?

That gave everyone pause. No one had thought that it would say something like that. Did this puppet know what it was talking about? The captain was a high-grade God who had comprehended fifty Laws! He could destroy this puppet with a single move!

The Silver Armor Guards were all laughing. “Stripped? I bet it’s this puppet’s metal skin that will be stripped later!”

Hu Lu’s face became a little strange as well.

Bu Fang frowned as he looked at the arrogant captain. ‘Is he looking down on Whitey? Yes, Whitey’s fighting strength is not as good as a high-grade God, but if he underestimates it because of that, he will suffer a violent counterattack…’

Whitey moved. A flag fell from the sky and stabbed into the floor in the distance, then a spear emerged and sped across the air like a dragon.

The captain unleashed his aura, which collided with Whitey’s attack. A rumble echoed out. Whitey staggered a few steps back while the power of a God rushed out in all directions. However, it did not cause any damage to the restaurant., which was protected by the System.

The ordinary-looking woman, who was sitting in a chair and eating an oyster pancake, glanced at the restaurant in surprise. ‘This place is not damaged at all after such an impact? Interesting…’ She was not in a hurry to help now. She wanted to see how Bu Fang would deal with the situation.

‘System… How could you swallow such humiliation?’ Bu Fang asked the System as he looked at Whitey, who had suffered a little from the attack.

The System prohibited anyone from causing trouble in the restaurant. Of course, Bu Fang could deal with these troublemakers, but Whitey had said that it would strip their clothes. It would become a laughingstock if it failed to do that.

Whitey and the System were connected, and Bu Fang knew this very well. The System seemed to be pondering, for it remained silent. After a while, its serious voice finally rang in his head, ‘Considering the restaurant’s reputation, the System will upgrade Whitey’s ability. It will take one minute to complete. Host, please hold the troublemakers for one minute.’

That gave Bu Fang pause. ‘Really? The System can upgrade Whitey’s ability now?”

Suddenly, Whitey froze, standing beside him without moving at all. ‘Oh, so the upgrade has started.’ He glanced at it, then fixed his eyes on those Silver Armor Guards. He needed to hold them off for one minute, and then Whitey would finish them itself.

The captain moved, taking one step forward and charging toward Whitey, his terrible aura pouring out of him. He wanted to smash this puppet. However, it wasn’t moving.

Instead, Bu Fang strode up and blocked in front of Whitey. The Black Turtle Constellation Wok appeared in his hand, and he lifted it in front of him.

A thump echoed out the next instant. The wok did not budge, but the captain took a step back.

“Ha… Didn’t this chunk of metal say it will strip our clothes? Even a puppet knows how to lie nowadays…” the captain sneered. “As for you, little chef… Lord Silver Armor said if you resist, we can break your legs before bringing you back. Attention, Silver Armor Guard, take down this insolent chef!”

His voice boomed like thunder, and all the Silver Armor Guards moved. They bolted toward Bu Fang, their armor clanking loudly, and in the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded him.

Even Bu Fang felt the pressure when he was surrounded by a dozen mid-grade Gods.

The expressions of Hu Lu and Luo Sanniang changed, while Nethery and Er Ha turned pale. Sure enough, this capital of the divine dynasty was not a friendly place.

But Bu Fang didn’t mind. His eyes became extremely deep as he grabbed the Black Turtle Constellation Wok tightly. Then, he flung the wok out, which seemed to turn into a thousand woks in an instant and collided with those guards.

“Divine power, the Wok Tossing Style of Affliction,” he said lightly.

The eyes of every Silver Armor Guard went wide at this moment. They felt a tremendous force, which pressed down on them and made them kneel on the ground. Every one of them had a black wok hovering over his head.

With a rumble, a dozen Silver Armor Guards fell to their knees around Bu Fang. It was a spectacular scene, and it shocked everyone present.

The captain’s face became extremely unsightly. ‘This fellow is indeed the exceptional Demigod who destroyed the Mo Family’s residence. I can’t believe he suppressed all my men with just one move! But… if that’s all he got, he is far from strong enough to defeat me!’

A cold smile came over the captain’s face. The next moment, he bolted forward, leaving numerous afterimages behind as he charged toward Bu Fang. At the same time, fifty Laws appeared over his head. Their power swayed and fell like waterfalls, causing his aura to skyrocket to a very frightening level in a flash.

A burst of terrible pressure spread and swept out in all directions from the top floor of the Luo’s skyscraper.

‘Attention, Host. Whitey’s ability upgrade has been completed,’ the System’s serious voice suddenly rang out in Bu Fang’s head.

The moment he heard that, he saw a huge palm appear in front of him, and the captain’s attack hit it. The hand did not budge as Whitey glanced at the captain with its mechanical eyes, which seemed to burst with light.

“All troublemakers will be stripped.”
