“The total is…178,642 copper coins! Miss, we’re rich!” Mala said to Eiffie ecstatically as she put the last copper coin in the money box.

  She had been with her young mistress for over 10 years. She saw how the latter propped up the tavern by herself and sold cheap alcohol. She would only earn 2000-3000 copper coins after a hard day’s work.

  However, they actually made so much money instantly after reopening today.

  She had never seen so much money in front of her before.

  Eiffie took out a dragon coin, and blew on it gently. She put it next to her ear to listen to the pleasing sound of money before she smilingly said, “From now on, we will be earning this much every day. Our good days are coming.” No one would think that having too much money was a problem, right?

  “There’s so much money. Where will we keep it?” Mala asked.

  They only earned a few thousands copper coins a day in the past, and they could easily bring them upstairs. The money was only just enough for the tavern’s operation.

  Now, they suddenly had such a huge amount of money, so it was already impossible for them to just bring it upstairs. The two of them had to make a few trips before they brought all the coins up.

  Furthermore, it didn’t seem very safe to just keep the money in the room.

  After pondering, Eiffie said, “Let’s put the money in the cellar first. We’ll exchange it into Buffett Bank’s banknotes after we amass 1000,000 copper coins.”


  “Alright.” Mala picked up the box that was filled with dragon coins and gold coins, and prepared to move it into the cellar first.

  Bam, bam!

  Right then, heavy knocking suddenly sounded. “Who’s out there?”


  Eiffie and Mala were stunned for a moment, and they looked at the door.

  Bam!

  The wooden door that was enhanced by the magical screen was broken open. An ugly and ferocious big man leaped in with a huge ax, and sneered at Eiffie and Mala.

  “Who are you?! What do you want to do?!” Mala shouted loudly.

  “Run!” Eiffie looked at that big guy and went white. She grabbed Mala, and ran towards the back of the tavern.

  Mala lost her grip on the money box, and the dragon coins and gold coins scattered to the floor, making a din.

  “Hehe. Where are you going, ladies?! Give me all the money and then let me have some fun. I won’t kill you two!” That strapping man strode over and chased after Eiffie and Mala. All the tables and chairs were knocked out along his

  way.

  Eiffie pulled Mala into the brewery, and pulled open the cellar’s door. She stuffed Mala in before jumping in herself. She used all her strength to pull the heavy cellar’s door downwards.

  At the moment the cellar’s door closed, she saw a gigantic ax lift up and then smash down.

  Bam!

  A dull thud echoed throughout the cellar. Eiffie’s hands were numb from the vibrations, and she quickly let go of the handle.

  Mala fell to the cellar’s floor in shock, and asked in a quivering voice, “M-Miss… What does he want to do?”


  Eiffie looked at the defense spell formation that was triggered with a slight relief. She came down from the ladder and sat on the floor. She hugged Mala and patted her shoulders. “Don’t be afraid. The cellar is safe. He can’t enter.”


  Bam!

  Bam! Bam! Bam!

  The dull knocking came from the cellar’s door. The defense spell formation began to blink, and soil began to fall from the cracks.

  Eiffie hugged Mala with a solemn expression. She was pale too. Those memories that she had tossed to the back of her mind surged up again. It was still this cellar. Her father pushed her into this cellar with all his might, and then blocked the cellar with his body.

  That was the most horrifying scene she ever saw in her life. Her father was hacked to death by that assailant with an ax. His blood seeped through the cracks, and dripped into the dark cellar.

  Then, that assailant also crashed the cellar’s door crazily just like now. It went on for 10-odd minutes before he left in a puff.

  The young Eiffie could only huddle in a corner and cry in fear, hoping that someone could open the cellar’s door and rescue her. 15 years had passed, and just as Titan Tavern was going to return to its glory, the same thing happened again.

  The protective shield’s glow began to get dimmer, and the crashing sounds became louder and louder.

  Eiffie hugged Mala. The fear that made her cold came all over her again.

  Unlike 15 years ago, she was no longer a child. There was a dim yellow light in the cellar, and Mala was in her arms.

  There was fear in Mala’s eyes when she looked up at Eiffie, and asked, “Miss, i-is he trying to kill us?”


  “It’ll be fine.” Eiffie hugged her even closer.

  She knew the man out there probably really came for them.

  The money was all out there. A good 170,000 copper coins.

  If he was here for the money, he could just take them and leave.

  However, he was still wasting his time and energy crashing the cellar. Obviously, his target was not just money; it was them as well.

  Eiffie’s heart turned ice-cold when she thought she was going to end up in the hands of such a terrifying man.

  The two of them hugged each tightly, praying that someone could rush over when they heard the noises and scare the assailant away. However, there were no residents staying close to the tavern. It was so late in the night; she was afraid no one could hear the noises here.

  Eiffie thought of Mr. Hades who lived across. However, she gave up on that thought after thinking about it.

  Although Mr. Hades was a very wise man, he wasn’t a very strong man. Furthermore, he had two children and a beautiful wife.

  She absolutely didn’t want him and his family to get hurt because of her.

  She knew very well that this assailant wouldn’t care who appeared in the tavern.

  ***

  Amy, in her little bear pajamas, pulled open the curtains, looked at Titan Tavern that had its front door broken open, turned her head around, and said, “Father, seems like someone is making trouble in the tavern across?”


  Mag, who was wearing a bathrobe, wiped his hair with a towel, and smilingly asked, “Yes. Seems like some bag guys have entered. Little Amy, do you want to beat up some bad guys?”


  He had just soaped himself when he noticed the noises from across.

  However, he was sure that Eiffie had already entered the cellar, and the thug couldn’t break through the magic shield in the cellar for the time being, and that was why he didn’t rush to save her in the nude. Instead, he quickly showered and put on a bathrobe.

  “Yeah, yeah! Little Amy loves to beat up bad guys.” Amy’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

  She looked around her, picked up the little folding chair in the corner, and swung it around to test it before nodding in satisfaction, and said, “Let’s go.” Mag flicked a glance at the folding chair, and raised his eyebrows. The mother and daughter had similar tastes. “Alright. Let’s go.” Mag put on a pair of slippers, pushed open the window, and jumped down from the second floor.

  Amy held the folding chair, and jumped down from the second floor too.

  The father-and-daughter duo in pajamas just sashayed into the Titan Tavern with broken doors.
