I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 25 Vampire

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

Only one street away from the house, Sebastian took Char to sit on the chairs placed outside a restaurant, two chairs with a table.

There are exquisite glass vases on the table, and the flower arrangements in the vases are freshly picked, exuding a pleasant aroma.

This is the intersection of a large street, and there is a relatively large open space at the corner where tables and chairs can be placed.

It is said to be a restaurant, but in fact it is not very big. There can only be a kitchen, and there is no room for a few tables and chairs inside. It is for this reason that the tables and chairs are placed outside.

The kitchen is open, even if you are sitting outside, you can still see the chef wearing a chef's uniform skewering sausages and baking them on the oven on one side.

This is very new in this era, and perhaps because of this, the business here is not bad.

"But it's okay even if you have eaten it, you must try the sausage here, the kind that the boss grills himself." Sebastian said enthusiastically.

The waiter with a smile on one side of his face had already walked over, and handed a menu to Xia Ya and Sebastian respectively.

"Take a look, both of you, and tell me what you need."

Sebastian was obviously already familiar with the road, and he didn't even take the menu, but said directly.

"Give me a set meal."

"Okay, do you want some tea?" the waiter asked.

Sebastian thought for a while, "Give me a cup of black tea."

The waiter was writing on the clipboard with a pen, and then looked at Shaar again.

"Same as him." Shaar said.

"Okay, since we are baking fresh, please wait for 10 minutes."

The waiter bowed, and then walked towards the table on the side. .

"Which one do you want to take?" Xia asked curiously.

Sebastian smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

Shaar looked around, "At least I haven't seen anyone with a death face in these four weeks."

"Not yet."

Sebastian said, he looked towards the end of this big street, and Char followed his gaze.

There, a group of people in uniforms were coming out of a clothing store. Unlike the uniforms of the secret police, the uniforms of the secret police were dark blue, close to black, and very deep.

And this group of people are dark green. Although they look like military uniforms, they don't have hats. I can only glance at it out of the corner of my eye.

Soon, they came to the door of the breakfast shop, and scanned the surroundings of the shop with examining eyes.

At the same time, a 30-year-old man in a chef's uniform came out of the kitchen with a smile on his face and bowed his waist.

"Director Rick, why are you here in person?"

The man in the chef's uniform is the owner of the shop, Hart Valentine.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to see."

The fat man named Rick had a very warm smile on his face, like a very friendly official.

"This commercial street is very important to the mayor, and as the director of the Queens Business Administration, I naturally have to take responsibility."

"Yes, yes, you are right." Hart responded with a smile.

Rick seemed satisfied with this attitude, and he continued to ask kindly, "How's business going?"

"It's all right, thanks to you," said Hart.

Rick nodded, but then, a man in uniform came over and said,

"Boss, you can't put the slop bucket outside the door, do you understand?"

Rick narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hart was also taken aback, and then he said in a panic, "I'll deal with it right away, right away!"

"According to the latest Street Management Penalty Act, a fine of two pounds of silver," said the man in uniform.

"What? Two pounds of silver!?" Hart looked at Rick anxiously, "Director, I'm just putting it here for a while, there's no room in the kitchen, if you don't come, I'll be out too!"

Rick seemed perplexed, he hesitated, then sighed.

"Hart, this is the rule, and the rule must be followed. If I exempt you this time, what will others do? It's not fair, you know?"

Hart's complexion was a bit ugly, but even so, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, I understand."

The waiter came over just now and poured black tea for Shaar and Sebastian, but obviously, his mind was not here.

Instead, he looked at those people not far away.

Xiaya could clearly hear his muttering with resentment.

"A bunch of vampires."

"What's your name?"

Surprised by the sudden voice from one side, the waiter raised his hand subconsciously. The spout of the kettle knocked down the water glass, and the tea spilled all over the table, but luckily it didn't splash on Shaar.

The waiter panicked and took out a cloth from his body to wipe the water stains on the table.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to."

As he spoke, he straightened the teacup and refilled it with tea.

"It's okay." Shaar reassured, "You haven't answered my question yet."

The waiter responded, "You can just call me Heike."

Shaar nodded, looked at the uniformed personnel not far away, and asked curiously, "Did you just call them vampires?"

Heike slightly opened his eyes, and then began to feel a little at a loss.

"Mr.I.I."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Xia said with a smile, "I'm just curious, do these people come here often?"

Heike was silent for a moment, then he sighed.

"It would be fine if they just come here often. Every time they come, they use various reasons to ask us to pay."

It seemed that Xia Ya's gentle words made him temporarily let go of his vigilance, and began to pour bitterness on the two of them.

"We just paid the public security management fee the day before yesterday, and yesterday we were asked to pay the city appearance management fee. Our tables have been placed outside for so many years, and we were suddenly asked to pay the rental fee for public land not long ago.

Do you know how much you just got fined?Two pounds of silver!That's my two weeks' wages. "

Shaar nodded, "It's really too much."

Heike sighed and said, "Now we can only wait slowly. After another two years, the current mayor will retire. Maybe the situation will be different. If it doesn't work, we can only move out. "

"Will Chief Rick, the mayor, also go down when the mayor retires?" Shaar picked up the black tea cup on one side and asked.

"You don't know." Heike lowered his voice and said, "The current mayor is his uncle, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

In the past, the owner of a clothing store nearby had never paid the fine. Just last year, his people directly smashed the clothing store, and all the clothes were confiscated. "

He turned his head and looked around, and continued after confirming that the group of people had gone away.

"The boss has always wanted to sue His Majesty the Emperor, and he stayed outside the palace every day, but just a few months ago, all three of their family died in their own home. It is said that they died of poisoning due to burning charcoal for warmth.

But everyone here knows that this must have something to do with Rick.

The evil things he has done these years are not limited to this, he has several lives in his hands, and many young girls have been harmed by him.

I heard that many people wrote anonymous reports and sent them to the palace, but they were all suppressed by his uncle. "

Shaar nodded, he was not surprised by this, human society is a relational society.

He was not surprised that there would be such an official. Even in the cleanest room, there was still the possibility of filth hiding in places invisible to the naked eye.

What surprised him was that this happened in the capital.

In the words of the ancients, here is the foot of the emperor.

I can't even see the dirt under my eyes, and it's hard to imagine what the rest of the place looks like.

The degree of decay of this empire may be beyond his imagination.

These things have nothing to do with Shaar for the time being, but if the future war really comes to a time when he needs to decide the fate.

What he sees and hears will determine where the fate of this country will ultimately lead
Xia Ya didn't say anything, just raised the teacup in front of him, blowing away the hot air floating above, and lightly took a sip of the black tea.

The waiter seemed to want to say something, and the owner of the store started calling Heike's name, telling him to clean up the slop bucket.

Heike responded, and walked towards Hart. He whispered something to the boss, and then left with the slop bucket.

The boss glanced at Xia's side, and then walked into the store. A few minutes later, he came over with two plates full of food and put them on Xia's table.

The plate should be the "a" set meal they ordered, with sausage, poached eggs, and some grilled mushrooms topped with sauce.

The most alluring thing is the meat sausage inside, which is big and full. The casing is shiny in the morning light and exudes a tempting aroma.

"I've heard from our waiter what happened just now. I'm sorry, sir. He is a little young and easily distracted when doing things. I will teach him a lesson later."

"No need." Xia said with a smile, "It didn't fall on me anyway, did it?"

"Thank you very much for your generosity." Hart bowed, and then he looked at the empty seat opposite Xia with some doubts, "I remember, isn't there a friend next to you?"

"Oh, he has some work matters to deal with." Xia Ya said.
