Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 636 - 33

The arrival of the new smuggling ship on Earth was not of great concern to Boss Ma.

Although, as an original Earth inhabitant, he didn't like people freely coming and going from Earth.

But he couldn't do much about it.

Ma Lu's life principle had always been to mind his own business and not to worry about things he couldn't control, which was also his secret to staying joyful.

However, what he didn't expect was that the arrival of the New Moon on Earth would ultimately affect him.

That afternoon, Ma Lu had just seen off the last customer. There were still about 5 hours until the night shift started. He was preparing to close the shop and go upstairs to play games with Zhen Ye.

But just then, the shop door was pushed open.

He Xiaoqian, who had put down the cloth she was using to clean the tables, walked over and said, "Sorry, we're closed."

"It's okay, I'm an acquaintance of the boss."

"Oh, no problem, let them in," Ma Lu said when he saw the visitors, then paused and said to He Xiaoqian,

"You can clock out now."

"But I haven't finished cleaning yet."

"No worries, let Youyou take care of the rest."

"Alright." As an old employee, He Xiaoqian knew that sometimes some strange customers visited the shop, and Boss Ma used to attend to them personally.

Since Ma Youyou was there, it became her responsibility to entertain them, although Ma Lu would usually still be around but would let He Xiaoqian leave first.

Although she was curious, He Xiaoqian always listened to Ma Lu.

Since Ma Lu didn't explain, she didn't ask further. She grabbed her backpack, hopped on her newly bought e-scooter, and left.

After He Xiaoqian left, Ma Lu signaled Ma Youyou to pull the bed curtain before turning to look at the two uninvited guests.

One of them was Lao Hei.

Lao Hei was dressed in a camel-colored short blazer with a pleated skirt and a beret, giving off a schoolgirl JK vibe.

However, probably because her legs were bare, she was shivering non-stop.

And following her was a tall Western woman with blonde hair, wearing sunglasses and a bright red jacket sequined all over paired with high-heeled boots that shimmered wherever she went, exuding a Victoria's Secret supermodel vibe.

"Your friend?" Ma Lu asked Lao Hei.

Lao Hei shook her head.

"Then your relative?"

Lao Hei shook her head again.

"Ah, could it be your 'girlfriend'?" Ma Lu's gaze towards the two became strange.

The blonde smiled slightly and revealed herself, "I am her Grim Reaper."

"Grim Reaper... is that some sort of metaphor?"

"No, it's a fact."

"Uh... are you from the Divine Race, like Thor, or the Ox-Head Horse-Face type? Honestly, does the underworld assign a personal Grim Reaper to everyone?"

"My name is 33, and I am the best assassin in the whole Multiverse." The blonde said proudly, while still pointing a small pistol at Lao Hei's back.

Even though the pistol looked like a ten-yuan water gun from the street, from Lao Hei's reaction, it was clearly a real thing.

"So, Grim Reaper really is a metaphor then."

"Say what you like, but you'd better advise your friend to hand over the bread machine." 33 said, "Otherwise, I will kill everyone on this planet who knows her."

Upon hearing this, Ma Lu looked towards Lao Hei, "Since when were you so tough? Didn't you already get the bread machine from those Dimensional Pirates? Why not hand it over?"

Lao Hei suddenly burst out, "Because even if I wanted to hand it over, she'd still kill me!"

"That's where you're wrong," Ma Lu addressed 33. "She is willing to give you the bread machine, so why would you still kill her?"

"Because her Pink Whale Smuggling Group breached an agreement with Sir M, and the order Sir M gave me was to kill everyone in the Smuggling Group and retrieve the bread machine."

33 explained, "You must have noticed Sir M's phrasing. The order is bifurcated and both clauses are parallel."

"I've told you, I secured the rice cooker, but our smuggling ship was attacked by those Dimensional Pirates on the way back, we were no match for them, and the bread machine was taken back."

"I fought single-handedly at great cost to retrieve it. It's only because there's no smuggling ship coming to Earth that I haven't been able to deliver it to Sir M. I've done my best, it's not my fault that there's a breach!"

Lao Hei vented her grievances.

However, the female assassin remained unmoved. After Lao Hei finished speaking, she spoke slowly, "I am an assassin, not a detective, nor a prosecutor. To me, my job is simple, just take the money, do the job. I never ask why.

"So your explanation is useless, give me the bread machine, let me kill you, and I'll leave. Otherwise, I'll kill everyone you know, then torture from you where the bread machine is, and kill you after."

"Why wouldn't you skip the first step, just torture her and then kill her?" Ma Lu didn't understand.

"Because her uncooperation affects my work, it also ticks me off a bit." 33 said, "I need to vent."

"You enjoy killing?"

"No, taking lives is just a job to me, a means of earning a living, nothing more."

"Then why the killing spree? You won't get any reward, nor make more money."

"This is advice from my psychiatrist; he said when I'm not feeling well, I can engage in something I'm good at, to relieve emotional stress, to avoid things like breast hyperplasia... I don't know if it helps, but it's worth a try."

"And, I don't want to lose out to 99."

"99?"

"Yes, she's a newbie, doing the same job as me, and incredibly annoying. She copies everything from me, from the killing methods to the weaponry and even my fashion.

"She's just a cheap knockoff! A total bitch!!! God, society these days gets more and more impatient, even our profession isn't exempt. Do you know what's most important for an assassin?

"Uh... let me guess, success rate?"

"No, it's taste and imagination, that's what separates the experts from the mediocre. An assassin without taste and imagination is less than shit.

"And to think that such a person dares to claim that she's the best in the business. God, she even copied my own introduction, how tasteless."

After her rant, 33 added looking at Ma Lu, "This is a restaurant, so you probably have a bar?"

"Mm-hmm, I've got Cat Pee Beer, 20 Star Currency a glass."

"Pour me a glass, and you can try to drug it, bet and see if I can catch it."

While saying this, 33 found a table, gesturing Lao Hei to also sit opposite her.

"I don't use drugs; that would ruin the restaurant's reputation," said Ma Lu.
