--Chapter 4--
"The usual rules, each person can purchase three at most." After greeting, Lance opened the store, and Skye can not care to ask what happened on the campus before. He makes food, while she helps to collect money and handing it out ingredients.
This place, the Upper East Side of Manhattan, can be said to be the location of the richest people in New York, and the Stark Tower that Lance was looking at before was also in this district.
So that even if he had sold the 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll' to the sky price of ten dollars, the people who bought it did not even frown, and there were even many who wanted to buy a few more.
"Hey, Lance, we have known each other for so long. Give me two more."
A man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, looked at Lance, who was making fried chicken nugget rolls as skillfully as he could, with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Wright, you are the big boss, so you know the integrity of the best." Lance shrugs helplessly, then said, "You see that there are so many ingredients. If you start it, people behind will ask for it. In the end, many people cannot buy it, just in case they become angry and smashed my little shop, you can never eat it anymore."
"All right, all right, three for three." Looking at the angry eyes of the people in line behind him, the man called Wright smiled awkwardly and hurriedly paid and walked aside, directly looking for a place to sit down and took a bite of the fried chicken nugget roll that emitted a rich aroma, with an intoxicated expression on his face, unaware of the estimate to think that Lance was selling fried chicken nuggets rolls or not.
Until it was completely dark, Lance sent all the customers away.
In the door continued to hang up the 'open irregularly' sign, Lance returned to the store to pack things, Seeing Skye who was still counting money happily, he couldn't help but remind with a smile, "Don't be too happy. Skye, you can get only one-tenth in this part."
The smile on Skye's face froze, and when she turned her head, she had turned into a pitiful, aggrieved look, and wiping non-existent tears, she said in a mushy voice to Lance, "I'm your sister, I've worked so hard for you, and you can't bear to let me take only one-tenth!"
"Then a twentieth?" Lance played dumb and said back.
"Humph!"
Skye's expression instantly changed back to normal and gave Lance a fierce glare, then continued to happily count the money.
Although Lance always said that he only gave her a tenth, but when he needed money, she never hesitated to give money, so the money was not much different from all of hers.
Seeing this, Lance just smiled. After cleaning up the garbage and changing clothes, walked over to Skye, ready to tease her again.
Just at this time, two people came into the store suddenly, just turned back to say it has been closed when Lance suddenly narrowed his eyes and couldn't stop his heart tightening.
"Do not move, take out the money."
Skye, who was counting money, watched this scene in a daze. After living for so many years, it was the first time that she was pointed at by a gun at such a close range. She was a little panicked. She hurried to look at Lance and found that he gave her a reassuring look.
The Upper East Side is a gathering place for the rich and business elite, and the gangsters are complex.
And powerful killers are not likely to look at such a small store, and his store location is not good, and business hours are uncertain, and others can not make up a business competition.
So for the first time in two years, he encountered a robbery in the store, to be exact, a troublemaker.
Lance raised his hands, did not act rashly, while quietly moved he said to the two masked robbers, "The money is here, please do not hurt us."
"You, load up the money for me." One robber spoke viciously to Skye, then pointed a pistol at Lance and said fiercely, "You stand still and don't play tricks on me."
Looking at Lance with a nod and a comforting gaze, Skye's hand trembled slightly to find a backpack and filled it with money.
"Hurry!" another robber impatiently urged.
Looking at the two, Lance frowned and pondered. If only he, with the ability to subdue the two, should not be a problem. But now Skye is around. He did not quite want to take the risk.
Lance could see that these two people should be just street punks, even if there is no gang is questionable, otherwise they would not think of robbing in this place, which is breaking the rules.
Just after losing a day's turnover, Lance is not too concerned, and with the face of the gun, he is not 100% sure to subdue the robbers.
But the development of things often goes against the wishes.
One of the other robbers, who was watching the door, didn't know which tendon was wrong, and when he looked back at Skye, he said, "Brother, this girl is so pretty!"
Skye's face paled in fright, making Lance frown deeper.
"Shut up, go get the money and get ready to go!" The robber, who was pointing a gun at Lance, obviously didn't want to be nosy, reprimanded him fiercely, and instructed him to prepare to leave.
"Hey, okay, okay!" The man first let out a strange laugh and walked towards Skye's position, obviously with some ill intent.
Lance took a deep breath and focus his eyes.
Originally, the two of them had just grabbed some money, honestly, but they were going to die. Although he didn't want to be exposed, he couldn't accept the harm of his relatives.
For eight years, he has improved more than just 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll every day.
"Now, look back." As the man was about to walk past Lance's side, the 'Personal Reality' was activated and the two robbers were manipulated by the force to force their heads back down.
The movement was like a swift wind.
At the moment they turned back, Lance instantly rushed towards the robber with the gun first.
With some fighting skills, he learned online.
He snatched the gun from the robber's hand and knocked him to the ground.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, when he looked back at the other robber, he found his hands were unconsciously touching his arm.
'He has a gun too!' This thought flashed instantly through Lance's mind, followed by, "Can't let him take the gun out."
The distance between the two is about three meters. Although the robber next to him fell to the ground, he has not been completely subdued. If he uses the 'Personal Reality' to prevent the opponent from digging a gun, he may be strongly resisted by his will. Maybe it will fail.
If he shoots first, so close to the distance, although it is the first time, the possibility of a hit is very large.
In a short moment, Lance's brain decides. To ensure safety, he shot unconsciously and used the most familiar skills.
Three smoking 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll' instantly appeared, paste to the face of the robber, who was ready to pull out a gun.
In the heat of the moment, the 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll' actually broke through and could summon three at a time, which is gratifying.
"Bang!" Gunshots sounded, surprised Lance that he didn't even shoot at such a close distance. He aimed at the opponent's thigh, but the bullet passed through the opponent's pants.
But the good thing is that the sound of the gunshot startled the robber in front of him. After the 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll' fell to the ground, he did not dare to continue to pull out the gun.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot directly." Seeing this, Lance immediately deterrent said, perhaps because of the shot just now. The robber was stunned, obediently standing motionless.
Lance again hurried to look at the robber, who had just fallen to the ground. First added a kick to his stomach so that he could not get up before shouting to Skye. "Skye, call the police!"
All this happened too quickly. The two robbers were subdued in the blink of an eye. Skye looked dumbfounded at what was happening in front of her. She had not yet reacted to what had happened.
It was not until Lance call that she reacted and took out her cell phone to prepare to call the police.
"Big brother, big brother, we're wrong, don't call the police."
Hearing that Skye intended to call the police, the robbers panicked and hurriedly begged for mercy, while Lance, who was going to ignore it, suddenly stop when he saw the 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll' on the ground. "Skye, wait a minute."
The number had been pressed and Skye, who was about to dial out, was taken aback, but he looked at Lance with a frown and put his phone down obediently.
Seeing that Lance agreed, both of them were also a bit surprised but immediately looked grateful. "Thank you, thank you!"
And Lance now regrets that he just unconsciously used the 'Fried Chicken Nuggets Roll' to confuse the other party. If the police came, it would be a little troublesome to adjust to the surveillance in the store.
As for the silencing of what, Lance did not even think about it, it would be better to give the police to save the trouble.
