Trafford's Trading Club

Cheese was tortured by the big mouse monster---his agonizing screams resounded extremely loudly in the underground sewers.

”Haha! Shout it out! I like screams the most! This is the best cuisine! Haha… Oh!” However, at that moment, the big mouse monster flew back and hit the other side of the sewer with his body caving in.

Cheese stood up when he saw the big body disappeared and his arm got free. He saw a back of a figure in front of him.

Someone… saved him? Cheese couldnʼt figure out what the back shadow was---the only thing he knew was that it was not a monster. However, its body was green with a long tail. It had an insect head and stood like a hunched old man. Nevertheless, his arms gave off an impression that they were filled with strength.

It was similar to that horrifying creature in the film ʼAlienʼ.

Although it looked strange, Cheese felt a sense of familiarity with it---as if they had met long before.

”Who…are you?” Cheese asked. But it just looked at Cheese with no words… Suddenly, it turned to look at that big mouse monster!

The big mouse monster was rushing toward them with claws stretching out in the air.

”Who do you think you are! How dare you attack me in my territory! You are playing with fire!”

Cheese heard someone screaming just as he intended to close his eyes. Then, he saw that the arms and legs of the big mouse monster had been chopped off.

There was a sharp blade-like object emerging from the creatureʼs wrist with blood dripping off it.

”Oh, no, no, no! Get away! Oh!” The big mouse monster was shouting at the creature. But it ignored him and grasped his head, striking his body toward the sewer pipe heavily.

Bang---

The head of the mouse monster was knocked into the wall with a loud crash. He fell into unconsciousness… without any words.

In the meantime, the creature crushed his head into pieces! Yes, the mixture of blood and brains splattered on Cheeseʼs face, which made him blank out, because this horrible image had exceeded his imagination.

A while later, the creature opened its mouth and pressed the body of the monster down, squatting and starting to bite it crazily! It began… to eat the carcass of the mouse monster!

Cheese was too frightened. He collapsed on the floor with cold hands… it didnʼt take much time for the creature to finish eating the big body of mouse monster.

However, the creature didnʼt swell up at all after swallowing such a big body. It turned around and looked at Cheese with its tail shaking in the air.

”No…Donʼt…come…” Cheese turned rigid when the creature came to him with mouse monster in its mouth. He thought that he would be eaten by it, too.

To his surprise. The strange creature shook its tail to roll the stolen food, sending it to Cheese.

”Are… these for me?” Cheese couldnʼt believe what he had seen. The creature didnʼt mean to hurt him--It didnʼt say a word and disappeared after handing the food to Cheese.

Cheese picked up the food and ran away… He would never come here again!

The current club owner was the most unprofessional one in history---Of course, Luo Qiu could only compare himself to the previous club owner. However, because of his power, the Black Soul Envoys wouldnʼt dare to comment on their boss even though he was unprofessional. The same goes for Miss Maid, who would never say no to Luo Qiu.

So it would be reasonable that Luo Qiu would go to the supermarket with You Ye instead of staying in the club. Luo Qiu always went to the supermarket alone---because of Ren Ziling, he would be the one to deal with the daily necessities.

”This is on sale… It looks nice.” Luo Qiu chose to buy one discounted beef after comparing it with the others---although this beef looked smaller.

”Master, but it is not fresh enough.” Miss. Maid disagreed as she was much stricter with the food prepared for her master.

”Itʼs alright.” Luo Qiu smiled, ”I believe you can cook it well. In addition, I will be uncomfortable if we donʼt get the discounted food. However, fresh vegetables will be better.”

You Ye smiled. But Luo Qiu stopped at a goods shelf while pushing the shopping cart. He looked at the ground and said, ”You Ye, donʼt you think that something will happen no matter where I go?”

”Because you are our master.” Her answer was interesting.

The servant girlʼs answer was worth considering. ʼWait. Does that mean that I am a grim reaper?ʼ

The ground was shaking suddenly. Luo Qiu waved his hands casually---so that the can did not fall down.

A little girl was standing over the can, who was about five or six years old… Wasnʼt this can about to fall down just now? She tilted her head curiously and then saw a big brother walking by with a pretty sister… And they disappeared right away.

Her mother lifted her up when the others were discussing with some panic in the supermarket.

”Was the ground shaking just now??”

”It might be?”

”Is it another sinkhole?”

”It doesnʼt seem like it. We are not living on the seismic belt!”

”Hey, sh*t! Donʼt jump a queue!”

…

Luo Qiu held a white onion in his hand and asked Miss. Maid in the vegetable zone, ”It looks different.”

”Yes, that should be the one which Miss Nero didnʼt kill.” Miss. Maid took over the onion and peeled off the leaves. She said after putting it into the cart, ”Definitely, Miss. Nero could finish it off. She just couldnʼt be bothered to do so.”

”It is much fun to be an onlooker.” Luo Qiu smiled and continued, ”Have we ever sold this kind of technology before?”

Miss. Maid recalled, ”We sold a technique to fuse biological genes thirty years ago.”

”It is not a monster but… a totally new creature.” Luo Qiu smiled at Miss. Maid, ”It reminds me of the ʼAdamʼ in your lab.” Adam was also created.

”Who knows if artificial intelligence will create a new life form in the future.”

You Ye shook her head, ”I donʼt add this algorithm, so I am unable to do that.”

Luo Qiu stopped the topic and selected some carrots. ”Letʼs go get something else… Oh, you can come to our house for a meal this Saturday.”

”Sure.”
