The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: She’s a Demon with Magical Powers

Xue Can thought he had arrived quickly, but when he kicked open the door, only Shen Lu and the three members of the Liu Family were inside.

Liu Qiang and Yang Jing were unconscious. Liu Yaozu was slumped against the wall with a dazed look on his face, as if his soul had left his body.

The roof had a large hole in it, as if it had been blasted open by lightning.

’But... there wasn’t any lightning in the forecast for tonight.’

Shen Lu was sitting on a leather sofa, one leg crossed over the other, completely out of place in the room. When she saw Xue Can arrive, she waved a hand in greeting.

"You’re here fast, Mr. Xue."

Shen Lu knew Xue Can would come for her. After all, she was the paying client. She had placed an order for his bodyguard services for the entire day, and it wasn’t even midnight. It would be wrong of him not to come to her rescue.

"Where are the others?" Xue Can scanned his senses. There were no other auras in the abandoned building, just the four of them.

"Maybe their house caught on fire," Shen Lu said with utter innocence. "They left in a real hurry."

Less than five minutes after Shen Lu said, "The weather is turning cold. Let the Jin Group go bankrupt!", Boss Jin received seven or eight phone calls.

"What? Someone’s making a scene at the club?"

"You said the commerce bureau is conducting a surprise raid?"

"Huh? A client killed one of the hostesses, and someone saw it and called the cops?"

"The police have sealed off X Club?"

"My house just exploded???"

...

Each piece of news was more shocking than the last. Boss Jin could no longer sit still.

He had wanted to seize Shen Lu’s supply channels to gain leverage in his dealings with the government, but that didn’t mean he didn’t care about his existing fortune.

It was something he had built up from scratch, the very source of his power.

If all of it was gone, he’d be like a tiger that had its fangs pulled—worse off than a drowning dog.

"Shen Lu, this isn’t over!"

Boss Jin wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, he was very clever.

After that series of bizarre events, he realized there was something deeply uncanny about that girl, Shen Lu.

It was as if her mouth had been blessed by some higher power. She said "stop," and his men stopped. She said "thunder," and lightning struck. She said the Jin Group should go bankrupt, and all his businesses started having problems.

A man who’d spent his life hunting falcons, he never expected to have his eye pecked out by one.

He had completely miscalculated today. He hadn’t understood Shen Lu at all. If he had known how freaky that girl was, he would have paid top dollar to hire Advanced mercenaries to deal with her.

It was all a matter of having bad intel!

Boss Jin didn’t dare make another move against Shen Lu, and was terrified she would retaliate. He shot his men a look, and the whole group bolted like spooked horses, running without a single glance back.

They were terrified that if they were too slow, they’d be the next target of her words.

The thugs were even more terrified than Boss Jin. Before they knew it, they had left him in the dust. Only his loyal assistant stayed behind, dragging his boss along in their frantic escape.

Shen Lu had no intention of chasing them. The Word Spirit Technique’s effect was brief, and she had already used up all her time.

Shen Lu was a little vexed. ’Sigh, I should have read more of those overbearing CEO novels. I wasted a perfect opportunity to pull out the problem by the roots.’

The system consoled her.

[You did great, Host!]

[When you delivered that line about the weather turning cold and the Jin Group going bankrupt, you were so cool! Your eyes, your tone—everything was perfect!]

Shen Lu asked with the benefit of hindsight, "If I had said, ’All of you, drop dead,’ would they have actually all died?"

[Not necessarily. After all, the Power of a low-level Word Spirit is limited.]

Shen Lu asked, "Then will Boss Jin really go bankrupt?"

"’You’ what? Shut up and behave!" Shen Lu glared at him. "Or do you want to share their fate? Feel like testing it out?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
