"Big brother, are you really not afraid?"

Xiao Chun’s eyes held a trace of anxiety.
In this place, few people dared to strike against the scions of the Divine Eagle Sect, for that would only bring relentless retaliation.
Yet Chen Yu was the picture of composure, "You should know, my purpose for coming here is to destroy the Divine Eagle Sect. How could I possibly be afraid?"
Xiao Chun giggled and said no more.
So, one after the other, the two merrily made their way to a barbecue restaurant.
The owner of this establishment had quite the background too. It was said he was a minor leader who came from the Divine Eagle Sect’s main temple and had opened this barbecue restaurant here, simply because he had no connections.
However, he was a born supernatural, capable of controlling others’ thoughts to a certain extent.
Anyone who ate in his restaurant was basically attracted by the magnetic field emanating from his head. Even the staff working in the shop were there voluntarily because of his ability, without taking a single penny in wages.
When Xiao Chun’s supernatural abilities were not yet fully developed, she was controlled by the owner and brought into the shop, along with a few other children. However, she managed to rescue all those people.
When the two appeared at the entrance, the owner was momentarily taken aback.
"Well, well, if it isn’t the rebellious little girl! Now that you’re back, just obediently work for me."
A strange, golden glimmer flickered in the owner’s eyes, indicating he intended to control Xiao Chun once again.
Just as he was about to release his magnetic field, Chen Yu suddenly extended a finger and touched his shoulder. A blue-white light radiated, enveloping the owner’s body on the spot.
The owner’s pupils dilated abruptly, and his body went limp, collapsing to the ground.
"Who are you?"
Chen Yu didn’t answer, but instead, stepping on the owner’s shoulder, he entered the restaurant with Xiao Chun
In the vast restaurant, all the customers and workers ate and toiled like the walking dead, a layer of golden sheen veiling their eyes.
Chen Yu glanced around the place and then snapped his fingers.
The crowd that had been bustling just moments ago suddenly snapped awake, shaking their heads.
"Damn it, how did I end up eating here?"
"Shit, why is there less money in my wallet?"
"I’m supposed to be here for business. Why am I working as a waiter?"
"What place is this? How did I get here?"
...
All the people, as they came to their senses, widened their eyes in shock, completely unaware of what had happened, nor why they were there.
Chen Yu found an empty table and stood on it.
"Everyone, your minds have all been controlled by that guy. It’s he who deceived you to work for him and to come to his restaurant to eat!"
With this revelation, the place erupted into chaos. Several burly men immediately rushed over to the owner, hoisted him up, and started hitting him with their fists and feet.
Xiao Chun clearly felt vindicated and stood aside, laughing out loud.
Chen Yu watched the owner being beaten by the crowd at the entrance with a cold gaze and then sat down at a table, grabbing a lamb leg from it and biting into it fiercely.
The barbecue here was unexpectedly good, likely due to some secret recipe, which Chen Yu found a bit elusive.
Just then, a middle-aged man rushed in with dozens of patrol members, hurriedly securing the chaotic scene. He then walked straight up to Chen Yu.
"Who exactly are you? What’s your purpose for coming here? Why are you creating one disruption after another in this place?"
Chen Yu tossed the bone from his hand.
"Are you the highest-ranking person here?"
The man was taken aback, "To see the highest-ranking person here, you’re not qualified yet."
Chen Yu laughed lightly and raised his finger to touch the man’s shoulder.
A strong current blasted the man’s clothes into powder, causing him to faint.
"If you’re not the highest-ranking person, you’re not qualified to talk to me either!"
Mockingly uttering that, Chen Yu then took Xiaochun’s hand.
"Let’s go, we’ll try the next place!" Your next chapter is on novelbuddy
The patrolling guards standing at the door were all dumbfounded, as even their captain had been subdued by Chen Yu with a single move; they dared not make any rash actions, thus allowing Chen Yu and Xiaochun to leave.
The places where Xiaochun had worked totaleled three, and without exception, the owners of these places had bullied the poor girl.
The last one was an antique shop!
Compared to the first two stores, this one seemed fairly normal.
The owner was a benign-looking old man, but somewhat slow-witted, always fondling a blood-red Buddha’s head.
The one really in control of the shop was a woman in her thirties.
"Sister Hong, do you recognize me?"
As she entered, Xiaochun greeted her very politely.
Chen Yu unceremoniously sat down to the side, picked up the teacup from the table, and took a sip.
Sister Hong was also startled when she saw Xiaochun.
"My goodness, you little girl, why have you come back? Didn’t the patrol team say you’d escaped?"
Xiaochun ignored her and walked straight to the old man, bowing respectfully.
"Everything here is the same as before, yet it seems like your power, Sister Hong, has grown. You can now decide on the sale of all the items in the shop!"
Sister Hong was slightly stunned and then angrily grabbed Xiaochun’s shoulder.
"You little wretch, what exactly do you want by coming back? Trying to undermine me?"
A look of hatred appeared in Xiaochun’s eyes.
"I thought that after I left, you wouldn’t poison Grandfather anymore. But it turns out, you’ve doubled the dose."
Sister Hong turned pale with shock, trying to cover Xiaochun’s mouth, but Chen Yu grabbed her arm.
"Sister, if I’m not mistaken, this old man is your biological father. How can you be so cruel to your own dad?"
Sister Hong immediately became annoyed.
"Who are you to meddle in our family’s affairs? I think you’re tired of living."
As soon as she finished speaking, golden lightning suddenly appeared on Sister Hong, and Chen Yu realized she was wearing an electromagnetic device on her shoulder.
It could release electric currents by altering her own magnetic field, similar to an electric baton, but in a different form.
This level of electric current couldn’t harm Chen Yu at all; he slightly exerted force in his hand, flinging Sister Hong out and turning her clothes into shreds, leaving only a shred of fabric for modesty.
Xiaochun approached the old man, gently patting his shoulder.
"The poison in Grandfather Gu is too deep. I’m afraid he might never wake up again!"
Chen Yu smiled faintly, stepped forward, and grabbed the old man’s pulse.
