"It costs Five Hundred Spirit Stones for one pass." The lady behind the computer answered.
Qin nodded his head and took out five thousand spirit stones in a pouch and give it to them. He had to separate five thousand spirit stones from the rest which took a while.
"Pass for ten people!"
The lady took the pouch and put it on the hole. On the screen, there was a number that was constantly changing. After a few seconds, it reached five thousand and stopped.
"Can't you just count them with your spiritual sense?" Qin couldn't help but ask.
"We like to work with efficiency."
Hearing her response, Qin couldn't refute. He almost took a minute while they only took a few seconds. After that, they asked for each of their names and a little identification. Only then, did the white card emerges from another strange machine.
It had their names on it. After printing cards, they passed them to them.
"You can use these passes to enter all of the businesses that are under Sky Organization but since each card has an expiry date of one year, you need to renew it. To renew it, you just need to visit any business and ask the staff to renew it." The lady instructed him while passing them.
Qin nodded his head and took the cards. After that, they left the room and finally walked up to the nearest empty table.
"Hmm! There are not enough chairs. Should we ask the staff?" Qin asked.
"Let's enter the empty box. It should have chairs for more people." Lan Ming pointed at the rooms designed at the corner and said. Everyone followed him and found most of them packed. But, there was one empty room.
After they entered the room, the waiter came there running and said "Costumers, that room is already booked. You can't use that room."
"Oh! Alright, but can you manage the seat for ten people?" Hearings his words, Qin paused his footsteps and asked.
"Yes, please come with me!" The waiter took them towards the staircase and went to the upper floor. Seeing his movement, Qin looked at others and nods his head.
"Are you sure we are allowed on the second floor? We only have Common Pass." Qin couldn't help but ask while following him.
".... Yes, you are allowed on the second floor. Please follow me!" The waiter got frightened for a moment but quickly managed to get hold of himself and lead them to a room. Unlike the first floor, there was no open space.
And, they could barely hear the sound of people even though it seemed every room was full of people. The waiter took them to the room at the last of the room. He knocked on the door which made their suspicion even more clear.
"Send them in!"
A hoarse voice rang from the room and the waiter opened the door. He moved to the side and gestured them to enter. Qin looked at each other and everyone shrugged their shoulders. He couldn't help but smile.
Not a single one of them was afraid of anything! Without any more hesitation, he took entered the room alongside others. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a man sitting on the side and another man sitting in front of them.
There were big couches and except for those two, there was no one else. As soon as Qin and others entered the room, the waiter closed the door.
"Please take the seat!"
The middle-aged man sitting in front of them spoke. He was wearing a tiger skin jacket and black pants. On another side, the middle-aged man was wearing a white robe above his normal attire.
Qin and others took the seat and stared at the man wearing a tiger skin jacket.
"My name is Huang Hou. I am the Town Lord of the Town of Beast." Saying so, the man wearing a tiger skin jacket pointed at the man wearing a white robe and continued "He is the Manager of Sky High Restaurant."
"I heard ten of you have come out of the Saitou Region."
Hearing his words, Qin turned his head at others with a surprise in his eyes. Lan Ming took a chance and spoke "Even if we have, what does this get to do with you? Are you here for those guards?"
"No, no, I am here for something else. I just wanted to confirm this since we only felt faint pressure of Origin Law Realm Cultivator. We only have a few Origin Law Realm cultivators and the five different pressure emerging at the same time made me confused."
"So, I asked the guards to find out. And, he returned with the news that ten youngsters knocked down the guards on the gate with their pressure and entered the Town of Beasts. And, they also claimed to have come out of Saitou Region."
"But for Origin Law Realm cultivator, it seemed quite impossible unless….."
"Unless we are not a normal Origin Law Realm Cultivator." Lan Ming caught him off with the understanding in his eyes.
"Yes, and if you are Origin Law Realm, especially for how young you are, then all of you must be the geniuses from Saitou Region. That's why I invited all of you here." Huang Hou hurriedly replied as he rubbed his palms together.
"But, that shouldn't be the reason why you called us here, right? Tell us your real purpose." Lan Ming continued to pressurize him without even releasing his cultivation pressure.
"Ehh! How about we eat while discussing the main issue? The food is already here. And, all of you must be hungry after the long ride as well, right? So, let's eat, and then we can talk." Huang Hou hurriedly pressed the button on the table while speaking with an ugly smile on his face.
Creek!
The next moment, the waiter opened the door and brought food. There were several dishes as more and more waiters brought to the table. Seeing that food, Zhao Tan couldn't help but feel his stomach grumbling.
"I am starting." Without even waiting for the waiter to serve every dish, he instantly grabbed an entire chicken by its leg and eat it.
"Haha! It seems some of you are truly hungry. Let's eat and then talk." Huang Hou laughed as his face got brighter. Lan Ming suspiciously stared at him but all of them continued eating the food. The food was quite delicious.
No one was able to contain themselves and ended up finishing the entire meal but as they got closer to the end, their visions slowly turned blurry.
"Ba…ss..tard… what….."
Thud!
Lan Ming and Qin were the last ones to lose consciousness. But, even they couldn't hold on against the sleeping poison.
"Are you sure this will work?" The middle-aged man in a white robe asked.
"We have already borrowed a lot of time from him. If we don't give him the bodies of Origin Law Realm cultivator to eat, he will devour our town. Although we didn't need all of them, it would be much less risker than sacrificing half of them and keeping half of them alive."
"Even if we managed to chase them away, as long as we can't kill them, they will definitely return to avenge their friends. And, all of them are geniuses. It won't take a long time for that to happen. So, we must remove the weed as well."
"The Sleeping Poison will keep them in sleep for nearly twelve hours. The journey to his cave is only eight hours. But, we need to do this in secret. So, let's wait an hour until the sun finally sets."
Huang Hou spoke with a cold glint in his eyes. He turned his head at ten of them and continued.
"Although we have no hatred against each other, ten of you must die to help us survive. Your sacrifice will keep the people of Town safe. Consider this as bad luck!"
Saying so, Huang Hou turned around and the middle-aged man also stood up. Two of them walked towards the door but suddenly, a voice rang from behind.
"Sorry, but we have such overwhelming good luck that bad luck doesn't even exist in front of us."
This voice made Huang Hou frightened. He slowly turned his head back as he saw nine of them standing in front of him with the intense killing intent overflowing their bodies.
"We knew something was suspicious about all this. But, we didn't like offending people. At least, not until they offend us."
"H-h-h-how ar...e you awake?" Huang Hou asked with a tense expression and the sweat flowing down his body.
"You see, we are not the group of ten teenagers. We are a group of twelve. Although two of them are not here, one of them has still given us something to keep us safe from poison, almost any kind of poison. And, your Sleeping Poison is too low-level to work on us."
Just as Lan Ming said that his voice paused for a moment but soon continued.
"Except for one!"
While nine of them were awakened, Zhao Tan was still sleeping while snoring hard.
Shrill!
"Now then, do you want to surrender or die?"
Qin unsheathed the sword from his sheath and spoke with a cruel smile on his face.
