Chapter 1927: Should We Do Some Workout Before Sleeping?
In the city lord’s castle, in a room inside a small courtyard.
“Sir, the black eagles are all in position,” a man dressed completely in black reported respectfully to Sean, who was sitting by a table.
Sean glanced coldly at the man, and said, “You only have three days. Find that child, or die.”
“Yes!” the man answered quickly with a shudder.
The man’s gaze darted around for a while before saying, “But… Your Highness, if we do that, will we infuriate Alex? I am afraid he will harm you.”
“We have already pitted ourselves against each other. The only way to truly control or kill him is to have his child in our hands.” A murderous gleam flashed across Sean’s eyes. “If it weren’t for that useless Josh, he would have been dead three years ago. None of this would have happened.”
“Yes!” The man in black shuddered, and dared not to speak further. He bowed and left.
Very quickly, in an inconspicuous, run-down courtyard at the slums at the north of the city, there were tens of men in black hidden in the dark night.
Meanwhile, in Chaos City, even more men in black darted through the night in search of a target like a pack of wolves in the dark night.
They had received a command to search for a three-year-old child, a half-elf.

“You have to pay, otherwise Amy will be very fierce,” Amy told a few demons who were high from drinking in a mature tone as she followed behind Anna.
“Y-you…” a demon said aggressively with a burp as he pointed at Amy.
“You are such a cutie pie. Here, Little Boss, this is our money. Count it.” Another demon sitting at the same table slapped the demon, and handed a gold coin to Anna with a gentle smile.
The demon who was slapped turned two rounds before regaining some of his senses. He stabilized himself, looked at Amy, and realized what he did just now. He quickly squeezed out an ugly smile, and did not dare to speak further.
“Hi, your total expense is 28 gold coins. You gave us two extra gold coins.” Anna took out two gold coins, and returned them to the demon.
“It’s alright. Little Boss, you guys can buy some sweets with this. We’ll be off.” The two demons left with a light skip in their steps, supporting each other.
“What’s wrong with you? How dare you shout at Little Boss. You almost scared me to death.” The two demons only heaved a sigh of relief after exiting the restaurant.
“I… I didn’t see her clearly. I had a drop too much, and my brain isn’t functioning well. I was thinking of showing her who’s boss for shouting at us.” The other demon scratched his head awkwardly.
“You should drink less next time. Otherwise, we might just be banned from Mamy Restaurant one day. That would be worse than walking around the slums.”
The two demons mumbled as they left, and the topic quickly changed to slums…
“Hehe, I earned another gold coin.” Amy placed her gold coin carefully in her pocket, and even patted it to ensure that it would not fall out. She smiled brightly.
“This is yours. You have to keep it. Father said that the money you earn on your own is yours.” Amy quickly stopped Anna, who wanted to put the gold coin into the small money box, and helped her put the gold coin into her pocket.
“But… This is already the eighth gold coin today. Isn’t that too much?” Anna asked Amy softly with embarrassment.
“It’s alright. This means that we are cute and our service is good,” Amy said with a pout.
Anna was tickled by Amy. The moment she heard that someone wanted the bill, Anna hurried over with the small money box again.
Amy followed behind Anna calmly. If it was a kind customer, she would smile adorably, and if it was a temperamental customer, she would give a fierce warning.
As for the unreasonable customers, they had not appeared in a long time. Most of the customers in Mamy Restaurant now knew that there was a very fierce Little Boss who won the champion’s title at the Roth Empire Magic Caster Tournament.
“Little Boss is really fierce. I saw her make a 150-kg demon fly with a punch before. That demon could not even retaliate.” The customers at the adjacent table did not forget to gossip when they left.
However, most of the customers tipped Amy and Anna willingly. The elf and half elf were just like two sisters. One of them was obedient and pretty, while the other was cute and adorable. Just a little cute act would make anyone want to empty their pockets to buy sweets for them.
Throughout the entire night, the two sisters who were in charge of payment basically had pockets full of tips amounting to above 1,000 copper coins.
That was also the motivation for Amy to work every day.
Although she was already a millionaire, the fruit of her labor made her even happier.
“I’ll treat you and Big Sister Annie to a dried minifish, 10 each,” Amy told Anna.
Anna thought for a while, and said, “In that case, I’ll treat with fried minidrumsticks. Three each.”
Look, with money, anyone could speak with gusto.
“Boss, Little Boss, bye.”
After the operating hours, the ladies who had a simple yet filling supper bade their farewells and left.
Mag reached out to pull the wooden door shut. Just as the door was about to close, his gaze fell on a faraway tree in the square.
He had very good eyesight, and with the help of the moonlight, he saw a lump of shadows hiding in the trees, looking in the direction of the restaurant stealthily.
“Father, aren’t you going up?” Amy, who was carrying Ugly Duckling, asked Mag when she saw him still standing by the door.
“Let’s go up to wash up, and get ready for bed.” Mag closed the door properly, and locked it before walking towards the two children with a smile.
After a really long story and finally putting the two children to sleep, Mag switched off the light, and exited the room silently.
“I think some fellows have got their eyes on us.” The moment Mag stepped out of the room, Irina’s voice sounded behind him. “I think it’s Sean’s people.”
“He’s rather bold. But I’m curious. How did he manage to find us?” Mag said with a smile as he turned around to look at Irina, who was standing by the window.
“I think he’s just a little suspicious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t send just a few pawns to watch us.” Irina turned to look at Mag excitedly. “Should we do some workout before sleeping?”
Mag looked at Irina who had just come out of the shower, her hair let down casually. She was wearing a light, translucent nightgown, and a faint fragrance wafted over, making the atmosphere a little ambiguous.
“Should I go take a shower too?” Mag tried to sound her out.
“Shower when you’re back. They’re just a few pawns.” Irina took thin outerwear, and wore it over her nightgown before waving at Mag.
“I see… sure.” Mag actually felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment?
