Chapter 155 Joint

"Boss, your store is quite big. The rent should be quite expensive." Zhou Mingyi said as he looked around the store.

Zogel chuckled: "I took over this store from my grandfather."

"It's a family business." Zhou Mingyi sighed, "No wonder the coffee tastes so good."

Zogel just smiled lightly.

"It obviously tastes good, but I feel like not many people come here." Zhou Mingyi said.

"After all, the location here is remote. No matter how delicious my coffee is, no one is willing to travel such a long way to come to me," Zogel said.

"Yes," Zhou Mingyi nodded.

"Then why don't you consider changing to another place? Get rid of this place and go to the new city."

"No one is willing to buy a small store in an old and remote location." Zogel just smiled faintly.

"I'm happy to." Zhou Mingyi looked at him and said.

Zogel was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Then you really don't know how to do business, you will lose money."

"I'm not kidding, boss." Zhou Mingyi said seriously.

“If I wanted to buy this store, what would your offer be?”

Zogel looked at him and realized that the other party was really serious. A trace of doubt flashed in his mind, but he quickly spoke:

"Sorry, I don't sell it."

"Five hundred thousand." Zhou Mingyi said.

"You don't need to be joking."

"Where's seven hundred thousand?"

"Not for sale."

"one million?"

This price can already buy a brand new shop of more than 50 square meters in the new city, which is far more than the price of this cafe. Zogel was silent for a moment and shook his head firmly.

"There's no need to talk about this topic anymore, I won't sell it in this store."

"Boss, do you think I can't afford that much money?" Zhou Mingyi looked at him and said with a smile.

Zogel shook his head.

"This store is very important to me and I won't sell it to anyone else."

"Is it because of the old store passed down from ancestors?" Zhou Mingyi asked.

"It's not just..." Zogel said.

He looked at the tables and chairs in the store with eyes full of stories. Everything here had not been changed in decades, and the tops of the wooden tables were all covered with starch.

"This store has memories of my past, so I can't sell it."

"Memories? Memories about the war?" Zhou Mingyi looked at him with a smile.

Zogel was stunned and looked at the black-haired demon youth with dull eyes.

"you"

"Zogel, should I call you Sergeant Brown Bear?" Zhou Mingyi said softly while sipping the bitter black coffee.

Zogl reacted immediately, and his eyes instantly turned cold. At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of gunshots and the smell of gunpowder smoke from more than thirty years ago again.

He stared at Zhou Mingyi while reaching into the drawer under the counter, where a revolver shone with a metallic light.

"Dad, the food is ready, eh? Are there guests?" Daughter Chris walked out and saw the two people at the counter looking surprised. "Chris, go back to the back room!" Zogel snapped.

"What?" Chrissy didn't realize what her father meant.

"Go back quickly!"

Zogel shouted at her in a more intense voice. Chrissy looked at them blankly, and then slowly stepped back.

"who are you?"

After his daughter left, Zogel asked Zhou Mingyi coldly.

"An investor, after drinking your coffee, thought it was good, so he wanted to buy your store."

Sander used to belong to the territory of Surna. Most of the people here are the bear people, the traditional ethnic group of Surna. They usually look very docile, but once they get angry, they will really look like an angry brown bear.

Zhou Mingyi faced Zogel who was about to explode like a hunting bear, but he didn't panic at all, and said calmly, while Shana beside him held a black coffee filled with sugar and milk, raised her eyes and looked at it carefully He glanced at the vicious boss, lowered his head as if he felt guilty, and just sipped his coffee.

Zogel's hand has already grasped the cold grip of the revolver, and his finger has been placed on the trigger. Fortunately, he still maintains his past habit of preparing a loaded pistol by his side every day. Face dangers that may appear at any time.

Now, as long as the demon on the opposite side makes a move, he can definitely hit it perfectly with his marksmanship.

Everyone who knows about his past, except the general, is dead, and those who know should not survive.

"Excuse me, I'm just here to discuss business. Can you put the gun in your hand? I have a girl here." Zhou Mingyi pointed to his left hand, but it was impossible to see what was there from his angle. .

Zogel looked at him without moving, still holding the handle of the gun tightly in his hand. This demon was not simple, at least he was an engraver.

"Who sent you here?" he said coldly.

Zhou Mingyi took another sip of coffee and looked up at the ceiling, making himself look deep, as if he was recalling something.

"There is no one. All the people who could command me back then are dead. Just like those who know your identity, the only one who may still remember me is General Heras."

Hearing that name, Zogel, who had been completely alert just now, opened his eyes wide, and the light in his eyes flickered with surprise. After a while, he tentatively said: "We are not connected by faith and race."

“Pure mission brought us together.”

Zhou Mingyi answered the next sentence, and then smiled at Zogel: "Article 7 of the Han Demo Army Declaration, you still remember it so clearly after more than thirty years."

"Are you a descendant of the Handemo Army?" Zogel still did not relax his vigilance.

"No, I belong to the Heras Battalion of the Handemo Army, and I served under General Heras for four years." Zhou Mingyi said solemnly.

Zogel looked at him deeply: "But you don't look more than thirty years old."

"There must be some means. After all, we demons have a lot of clever ideas. If we stay young for a long time, we can just keep my elf lady company."

Zhou Mingyi gently hugged Shana beside him and sighed deeply.

Sana, who was immersed in drinking coffee, glanced at him and slowly rolled her eyes.

"My master was like this when he deceived Princess Alyssa before."

Zhou Mingyi saw that he was still vigilant, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Corporal Brown Bear, you don't think that only General Heras knew your identity back then, right? If something happens to him, there must be someone." Take his place and contact you, and I am that person.”

He drank all the coffee in the cup and said slowly: "When you come in, order a cup of black coffee. No milk, but three pieces with sugar. Then sit at the third table on the left side by the door and pick the lilies on the table. The next petal was placed on the corner of the table, hmm. I must have remembered correctly, right? General Heras told me that if something happened to him, he would contact you like this. However, it has been more than thirty years since this method of contact. It really has the feel of an old black and white movie now.”

Zogel let out a long breath and slowly took his hand back from the handle of the gun.

"General Heras asked you to come to me?"
