The following day, Yun Lintian brought Yun Lingwei to see the store given by Bai Yunfeng. This store was a nine-story building with spacious space. The interior decoration was pretty done with the previous luxury furniture. Yun Lintian didn't need to spend much if he wanted to change it.

The building was located right at the corner of the cross street in the commercial area. This was a prime location for any business. Opposite the building was a famous auction hall, Mystic Auction Hall. It was mainly controlled by Mystic Pavilion, one of the two pavilions alongside the Star Pavilion.

While the Star Pavilion was engaged in the intelligence business, the Mystic Pavilion was focused on treasure trading. No one knew who was behind it. The rumors said the behind-the-scene boss was a top powerhouse who could rival any Palace Master of the Nine Palaces.

According to Yang Chen's words, there was no restriction to participate in the auction event. Anyone, even a beggar, could join it. This made Yun Lintian quite surprised and looking forward to the next auction event.

"We are lacking manpower. Though this Bai Yunfeng has arranged for some of the previous employees to work under us, they are, after all, not our own. Can you find a chance to let the rest of the Shadow Cloud team out?" Yun Lingwei walked into the reception hall after checking the central kitchen. She was satisfied with this high-end store and its prime location. She believed her restaurant would become the number one in the divine city in the near future.

"I have thought about it, but it's a bit risky to go out right now. Perhaps I could ask Bai Yun to help me." Yun Lintian sat comfortably on a high-quality chair while stirring a cup of tea.

Yun Lingwei snickered. "You made a good deal this time."

Yun Lintian smiled and was about to say something. All of a sudden, a loud bang could be heard from the entrance. It was as though someone just barked in violently.

Yun Lintian and Yun Lingwei glanced at each other and moved toward the entrance.

When the two arrived, they saw a group of sturdy men looking around the place with an evil grin. Without a doubt, they were here to cause trouble.

"So you are the owner…!!" A sturdy man with an ugly scar on his face glanced at Yun Lintian disdainfully. However, before he finished his sentence, he discovered his entire body went stiff, unable to move. His eyes widened open in disbelief as he looked at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian retracted his hand and looked at the five men with a smile. When he discovered their strength wasn't great as they were roughly at Earth Profound Realm, he caught them off-guard by swiftly sending several silver needles to restrict their movement. 

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Yun Lintian slowly walked toward the five men step by step.

The scared face man tried to speak, but he couldn't even move his lips. He could only stare at Yun Lintian in horror. Before coming here, he didn't investigate much about Yun Lintian and thought this was an easy job, as Yun Lintian was a mere Origin Profound Realm. Now, he regretted it. He should have carefully checked Yun Lintian's information.

Yun Lintian patted his forehead. "Ah, I forgot you can't speak." He flicked his wrist slightly, and the silver needle that restricted the scarred face's facial movement flew back to him.

"Little Brother, please let us go." After realizing Yun Lintian wasn't an easy target, the scarred face man quickly begged for mercy. He didn't expect Yun Lintian would be so decisive and respond swiftly like this.

Yun Lintian chuckled slightly. This was too typical, right? "Just answer my question. Who are you?"

"We are a wandering mercenary group. This time, someone asked me to find you trouble. He wanted me to destroy your restaurant." The scared face man hurriedly answered. He didn't dare to lie at all.

"You didn't know that person's identity?" Yun Lintian asked.

The scared face man shook his head. "He wore a high-grade artifact mask. I can't determine his identity."

"When did he approach you?" Yun Lintian pressed another question. He seemed to roughly guess the identity of the hirer. This person either came from the Peng clan or the Lin clan. Yun Lintian inclined toward the former more. 

"It's around an hour ago at the Leisure Time's restaurant across this street." The scared face man replied truthfully.

"An hour ago?" What Yun Lintian didn't understand was how this person could get the news so quickly. Yun Lintian had arrived in this building half an hour ago. How could this person know beforehand it was he who was going to take over this restaurant?… Is there a mole in the Bai clan?

Seeing Yun Lintian fall into deep thought, the scarred face man secretly tried to get rid of restriction, but it was futile. He was so furious as he was pitted by that person badly this time.

Yun Lintian put those thoughts aside and looked at the scarred face man with a smile that somehow made the latter's body turn cold.

"Since you are here, there is no need for all of you to go back." A simple fireball appeared on Yun Lintian's palm. With a simple flick, the fireball speedily shot toward the scarred face man and his comrades.

In the next moment, a miserable scream reverberated throughout the entire street, causing the passerby to stop their tracks and turn to look in Yun Lintian's restaurant direction. A chill immediately ran down their spines upon seeing five human torches wailing in pain before turning into ashes. They couldn't believe someone had killed people in the divine city.

"Ah… This won't scare the customer away, right?" Yun Lingwei looked at the passerby worriedly.

Yun Lintian shook his head. "Don't worry. This will show them our restaurant isn't easy to mess with. Anyone who wants to make trouble here will be punished severely."
