Ou Shaotian did not pay much attention to the hundreds of restaurants in the Twelve Star Islands. What he paid attention to were the three restaurants in the academy.
Those three restaurants were earning a lot of credits every day.
Although the Twelve Star Academy was divided into nine districts, each district did not prohibit entry and there were many open public areas.
Of the three stores, one was opened in the business street of the inner third ring, one was opened in the business street of the middle third ring, and one was opened in the business street of the outer third ring.
As soon as they opened, they took away a lot of business from the cafeteria.
The cafeteria of the Twelve Star Academy was contracted by the higher-ups of Cancer Constellation.
"You're saying that Ou Shaotian is the one behind these restaurants?"
On Cancer Island, Crab Dahe squinted his eyes and asked.
"Deacon Crab, this is absolutely true. This person is very talented and has high combat strength. My hand was crippled by him."
The one-armed man said respectfully.
He was none other than Zhang Shen, who had his hand chopped off by Ou Shaotian not long ago.
"Since the other party is just a freshman from a small place, why don't you Hundred Star Island take action personally? This is not your style."
Crab Dahe was still doubtful. After all, there were many people who were jealous of the restaurants. However, they were still observing and he did not want to be the first one to stand out.
"It's not that we don't want to take action, but this person is very talented and has achieved great success in Blade Intent. He must be valued by the academy. With the strength of our Hundred Star Island, it's impossible to succeed."
Zhang Shen shook his head.
…
That afternoon, Ou Shaotian was stopped as soon as he went out.
"Hello, my master wants to see you. He hopes that you will come with us!"
Two young men stopped Ou Shaotian. Ou Shaotian observed them and found that they were quite strong. They should be students of the middle third ring.
"Let's go!"
Ou Shaotian did not refuse. He knew that it was only a matter of time.
He followed the two and quickly left the Twelve Star Academy. He came to a teahouse on Cancer Island and saw Zhang Shen and Crab Dahe.
The moment he saw Zhang Shen, Ou Shaotian knew that he did not come with good intentions.
"So you're Ou Shaotian. You're indeed a genius. I'm the Great Deacon of Cancer Island. I've heard of you for a long time!"
"You flatter me. May I know why Deacon Xie is looking for me?"
After exchanging some pleasantries, Ou Shaotian sat down across from him.
"There's no hurry. Let's drink some tea first. This teahouse is famous for its spirit tea."
Crab Dahe said with a smile.
Ou Shaotian wasn't afraid. He generously picked up the teacup and tasted it. The taste wasn't bad, and it could nourish one's spirit soul.
No wonder this teahouse was so famous.
"Deacon Xie, just say it. Why are you looking for me?"
After Ou Shaotian finished the tea in his cup, he said again.
"The new gourmet restaurant is yours, right? Cancer Island wants to invest in it. We don't want much, just half of it. What do you think?"
"Impossible!"
"Don't be in a hurry to reject. Half may seem like a lot, but with the protection of Cancer Island, no one will dare to provoke you. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"
Seeing that Ou Shaotian rejected, Crab Dahe tried his best to persuade him.
His goal wasn't really to take half of it. He couldn't swallow such a huge profit alone. In his opinion, it would be good enough if he could take twenty to thirty percent.
The reason why he asked for half was to leave room for negotiation.
"I'm sorry, I have someone backing me. I don't need Cancer Island's protection. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
Ou Shaotian said indifferently.
"You're lying. I know all about you. You're from a force called Big Dipper Island. That force has people who entered the college before. They're very weak."
Zhang Shen said with a calm expression.
He was full of hatred for Ou Shaotian, but this hatred was hidden by him and couldn't be seen on the surface.
"My biggest backer isn't Big Dipper Island. Cancer Island is so powerful, you should be able to find out. Go ahead, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
Ou Shaotian got up and left after saying that.
Crab Dahe's face suddenly turned ugly, but looking at Ou Shaotian's back, he said coldly after a long while, "Investigate."
…
After Ou Shaotian left the teahouse, he wasn't in a hurry to go back. It was rare for him to come out, so he simply strolled on the street.
Just as he was strolling, he found a shop on the street surrounded by a crowd and couldn't help but walk over.
"Someone died again. This is the fifth death this month. If we don't find the murderer, we won't dare to go out. Damn it!"
"The murderer should have a spirit soul that's good at hiding. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed so many people without being discovered."
"He's too crazy. He actually dares to kill people on the island."
"He's really bold. I wonder which power he's from. Once we find out, we definitely can't let him go easily."
"The one who died this time was the owner of a fishing equipment store. I heard that he was quite rich. It's probably because he had too much money that he was targeted!"
…
Through the crowd, Ou Shaotian saw the corpse of the victim. The island's guards were handling it.
Through the examination of the wound, it could be determined that the victim was the same as the previous murders. It was the same murderer who wanted to rob.
"Sir, the goods in the store have all been ransacked. We don't know how much money there is, but it shouldn't be a small amount. They're here for money again."
"It's the same as the previous murders. This is the fifth one. If this continues, the higher-ups will be unhappy."
"Sir, we have no choice. The murderer is good at hiding. There's no evidence at the scene either. We can't find him at all."
"Let the brothers work harder. Arrange for more people to keep an eye on him. I'll think of a way to get the higher-ups to increase the reward!"
In the store, the two of them were conversing. However, their voices were getting softer and softer. If not for Ou Shaotian's amazing hearing, he would not have heard them.
Ou Shaotian opened the application and checked the official mission section of the Twelve Star Islands. As expected, there were many wanted bounties on it.
One of the bounties was related to this murder case. Regardless of whether it was the discovery of clues or the killing of the murderer, there would be a large reward of spiritual stones.
The officials did not hide it. There was a detailed introduction of the case and some analysis of the murderer in the bounty.
"Good at hiding?
I wonder if he can avoid the radar's scan! "
Ou Shaotian narrowed his eyes and pondered.
He would not let such a cruel murderer go easily. Therefore, he planned to stay on Cancer Island and see if he could catch the murderer.
It was not that he was impatient for justice, but he was worried that the murderer would make a move on the gourmet restaurant.
After all, the wealth that the gourmet restaurant gathered every day was quite shocking.
There were many people who paid with high-grade spiritual stones. There was a lot of cash in circulation. Perhaps the gourmet restaurant would be targeted by the murderer.
Moreover, Crab Dahe and the others would probably target the gourmet restaurant. It was a good opportunity to stay and take a look.
