Chapter 1337: Are We Going To Kill The Pig Tonight?

Ivan lifted his hands with excitement on his face, showing off his blackish-gray stone shell with hints of red on it, and asked Gemina, “Dear, do you think that my new shell is pretty?”

After eating two crayfish in that afternoon, his shell—which had been dormant for the past five, six years—finally broke away and changed into this new one.

This also meant that he had broken through successfully, and became a 4th-tier rock troll.

Although there was only a difference of one tier between the 3rd-tier and 4th-tier, it was the natural barrier in between a low-tier and a mid-tier demon.

Low-tier demons were looked down upon no matter where they went, but mid-tier demons would be recruited by some demon islands, and received a recognized identity.

“It does look different from the others’ 4th-tier stone shells. Could this red be due to the crayfish? Justin’s new shell had this red on it too,” Gemina wondered with a twinkle in her eyes. However, she didn’t show it obviously as she caressed Ivan’s stone shell.

“This is a sophisticated red, much nicer than theirs.” Ivan smiled. He was very satisfied with his new stone shell.

“Mother’s shell is starting to crack too. It must be due to Uncle Hades’s crayfish. Let’s go and eat crayfish tonight too,” Justin said with anticipation.

“Alright.” Gemina nodded.

“Dear, you’re so adorable!” Ivan looked at Gemina with amazement as he thought he had to spend some effort to convince her. He hadn’t expected her to agree so readily.

Gemina slapped Ivan’s pouting face away, and calmly said, “Since eating the crayfish could increase our power, why should we reject it? Making money would only get easier after our power increased.”

“Dear is so wise!” Ivan put up his thumb in admiration. He then got up and prepared to leave the house.

The brisk business in the afternoon provided a stable customer base for the crayfish restaurant. At the same time, the reputation that had spread out attracted some demons too. The 10-odd tables in the yard were quickly filled up, and Mag set up another 10-odd tables on the street upon his customers’ request.

Mag wandered in between three large woks with a large spatula, as calm as a martial arts expert. His actions were fluid as he served the flavorful crayfish to his customers.

The spicy and delicious crayfish with the icy and soothing beer lit up the crayfish restaurant’s ambiance.

“This… shh… ah… this crayfish is so finger-licking good. Spicy and exciting. Shh… ah… Give me another two.” A demon panted with red and swollen lips.

Although Carapace Island had a notorious reputation, those notorious demons tamped themselves down in front of the delicacy. They were focused on enjoying the delicious food at that moment.

At 9pm, all the crayfish were finished, and the feast ended.

Mag had bought 1050 crayfish today, and their average weight was 1 kg, which meant he had sold 2000 kg just on the opening day alone.

“I wanted to keep a low profile, but my power doesn’t allow me to.” Mag sighed. One most probably couldn’t find anyone else who operated a crayfish restaurant the way he did.

“It’s full.” Irina placed the wooden box that was bursting at its seams on the table with a satisfied smile.

There was a demon causing trouble at the dinner service too. She sent him crashing into the street with her stool, and then confiscated all his assets. After that, the rest of the demons became very well-behaved.

“So much money!” Jane stared at the box that was full with gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. She had never seen so much money in her life, and Boss had earned it in just one day.

“This is only the beginning,” Mag said lightly. It was only 100,000 copper coins. After deducting the cost, the profit was only 40,000 copper coins, and he could earn 300,000 to 400,000 in a day easily with the same intense workload in Mamy Restaurant.

Although he was earning money, he felt as if he had suffered a loss.

“You have worked very hard today, Jane. After clearing the table, go wash up and rest,” Mag said to Jane, who looked rather tired. She had undertaken the pivoting role in the restaurant today, and had done her job perfectly. However, a workload of this intensity was still too much for a 13-year-old girl.

“I’m okay. I’m not tired at all.” Jane shook her head, and her eyes were still very bright. When compared to the fear of living in the open, she had received the care and concern from the boss and lady boss, enjoyed delicious food, and rested on a comfortable bed in the restaurant. This hardship was, in actuality, negligible.

“No way. Goldihorn has worked too hard. We need to recruit another employee,” Irina told Mag.

“I’m afraid it wouldn’t be easy to recruit new employees.” Mag also knew that it was difficult for Jane to work alone, but they were not going to stay there for long.

Irina thought to herself, and then commented, “In that case, why don’t I just go and catch one randomly?”

“Let’s plan this gradually.” Mag smiled. This solution was too simple and violent. After all, they didn’t come here to colonize the place, so it wasn’t very nice to simply grab an employee randomly.

Mag let Jane go for her rest after clearing the table, and the three of them changed into black clothes to blend into the night.

Amy touched her black mask, and curiously asked, “Where are we going, Father?”

“We’re going to catch a demon,” Mag said smilingly. He waved his hand, and Ah Zi dived from the sky and landed on the balcony lightly.

“Are we going to kill the pig tonight?” Irina asked expectantly.

“We will keep the pig alive for two more days. Our target tonight is not him.” Mag leaped onto the griffin’s back with Amy. Irina followed suit by leaping up gracefully and sitting behind Mag.

“Then whom are we catching today?” Irina asked perplexedly.

“Simmons’ lover.” Mag patted Ah Zi’s back gently as he ordered, “Ah Zi, go to Flaming Island.”

Ah Zi spread out its wings, took to the sky, and flew toward the northwest.

Soon, a volcanic island appeared in Mag’s view.

There was an active volcano which was erupting in the center of the island. The red lava that was spewing out from the crater flowed to the sea from the northwestern direction. The streams of lava looked as if they were the veins of the earth. Water vapors and volcanic ashes shrouded the sky above the island. They could already feel the unusual heat before they even got close.

Flaming Island was originally called Lava Island. When the Lava Demons were at their peak, this island was one of their territories.

However, followed by the decline of the Lava Demons and the ascension of the Flaming Demons, the Lava Island ended up in the clutches of the Flaming Demons, and had its name changed to Flaming Island.

“It should be that island. Ah Zi, let’s go down,” Mag said as he pointed at an island northwest of the Flaming Island.
