Comprehensive Comic: Obtaining The Star Cup Starts With The Strength Of The Shadow

"jingle!"

Rhodes pushed open the main door of the coffee shop. It was afternoon, and there were not many customers inside, about ten or so, sitting in various places.

After seeing Rhodes coming in, they subconsciously looked in his direction, then turned their heads as if nothing had happened and continued talking to their companions.

Although their observation was very secretive, Rhodes sensed it when he came in.

Rhodes looked at the two beautiful figures standing in front of the service desk in surprise.

New and Taldo.

The two of them were dressed very much like the ol' professional women's clothes from Rhode's previous life, with their slender feet covered in black, shiny, fleshy stockings. The top is a shirt, with a few buttons buttoned alternately. It cannot be said to be revealing, but the simple dress has a certain charm in the eyes of outsiders.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they saw Rhodes coming in, and then smiled sweetly, but like ordinary people, they did not come forward to say hello.

"The stronghold of the Shadow Courtyard?"

Rhodes realized something and couldn't laugh or cry. He felt that he had entered the 'bandit's den'.

Why do you say that? The guests present were all people who were familiar to Rhodes and had appeared at the Mitsukoshi store last time.

"Here here!"

A bored girl was waiting for something in the corner. When she saw Rhodes, her eyes lit up and she waved to Rhodes cutely.

She still didn't know what kind of place she had chosen to meet.

"It came too late!" Shirley said with a pout.

"Something delayed me on the way. Why, did you get anything new today? You suddenly called me out." Rhodes looked away from the girls in the Shadow Courtyard.

"I did make a new discovery."

Shirley put her hands clasped on her chest and said with a longing expression.

"You told me that the ancient artifact was a control device. After my investigation, I found that the ancient artifact was used to control the Eye of Greed."

"The Eye of Greed has the function of absorbing and storing magic power. It is uncontrollable at first, and when the absorbed magic power reaches the critical point, it will be released all at once. But with the controller, the Eye of Greed can be controlled to a certain extent, and the use of If it’s good, it can play a key role in many places!”

"It's simply amazing!"

Shirley's whole body glowed when she talked about ancient cultural relics.

"So I want to invite you to study this topic with me. Do you want to join?" Shirley said expectantly.

"Sorry, I'm destined to disappoint you. I have no interest in research."

Rhodes shook his head and said jokingly when he saw the girl was in a low mood.

"If you come up with any results, I can be the first to be the experimenter. Maybe your results will change the world one day. I share the same honor."

"Changing the world...isn't as powerful as you say."

Even so, the girl still giggled twice, as if she was really looking forward to this day.

Rod's words successfully made Shirley's disappointment fade a lot.

"correct!"

Shirley thought of something and said while picking up the exquisite gift box wrapped with a red ribbon from the bag next to it.

"I came here specifically to thank you today."

Shirley pushed the gift box to Rod's desk and said hesitantly.

"It's my first time giving a gift. I don't know what to give, but my father told me that if it's a boy, chocolate is the most appropriate gift. I don't know if you like it."

Rhodes glanced down at the chocolate and sighed in his heart.

"What a 'good' father. There is no one else who can assist me so much. I'm a little reluctant to kill him."

But they are false words after all.

Unlike Shirley's respect for her father, Rod knew what his father had done.

However, he was different from bearing sins in the original work. Rhodes had no intention of bringing a bad name to himself, and he was not interested in notoriety.

“Did you know that giving chocolates to others has two different meanings?”

Rhodes recovered his thoughts and asked with interest.

"Eh? Is there any? If it's not good, how about changing it to another one..."

Shirley asked blankly, her innocent appearance was surprisingly cute.

"It doesn't matter, that's all, thank you." Rhodes raised the corner of his mouth.

The two were chatting happily when suddenly, outside the transparent glass, three men in black cloaks walked to the main entrance of the coffee shop and pushed in under the watchful eyes of Rhodes.

"jingle!"

The reminder bell in the coffee shop is clear and sweet.

The heads of the three people were hidden under the brim of their hats. After walking in, they did not find a place to sit, and ignored the polite greetings from the waiter. Instead, they headed straight towards Rod and Shirley. Their weapons with a sharp cold light slowly passed by. Pull out the waist.

In the coffee shop, there was some communication at first, but it suddenly became silent.

Although the three people who came in were confused as to why there was suddenly no movement at all, they couldn't care less when they saw the target so close in front of them.

"What's behind me?" Shirley asked in confusion when she saw that Rod didn't speak, but stared at the position behind her.

Since Shirley's back was turned, she saw the two people behind her taking out weapons. However, you can feel the changes in the surrounding atmosphere as long as you are willing to observe.

Rhodes was silent for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile.

"Tell me, what should we do if we encounter someone with evil intentions who wants to attack us?"

"Have evil intentions?"

Although Shirley was surprised by Rod's words, she still raised her fist and pretended to be fierce.

"I won't be afraid!"

As soon as the words fell, Shirley's arrogant movements stopped abruptly.

The girl's eyes widened and her fists stopped in the air. She really couldn't see behind her, but there was a mirror on the right front of the cafe. With an accidental glance, the picture reflected inside almost made her cry out in fear.

As the three men approached with weapons in hand, Shirley realized that something was wrong!

The speed of changing his face made Rhodes feel funny.

"Don't panic."

"But there is..."

Shirley spoke with a trembling voice. She couldn't help but want to get up, but a warm hand held her back.

Rhodes said with a chuckle.

"Do you believe me?"

Seeing Rhode's calm eyes without any emotion, Shirley seemed to feel a lot more at ease and nodded without hesitation.

"believe!"

The smile on Rhodes' lips grew wider.

"Then close your eyes and count down for five seconds! You don't have to recite it silently in your mind, it doesn't matter if you shout it out."

"Count down to five seconds? I...I know..."

Shirley was scared, but out of trust, she still closed her eyes as Rhodes said, and spoke in a low voice with her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"5..."

The girl's voice is not loud, even a little quiet, but...

When she opened her thin lips and spit out the first number, the atmosphere around her suddenly changed, and the air seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Everyone pushed their chairs away silently and stood up at the same time.

The three of them were in a bad state of mind and it was too late to run away.

"4..."

They arrived in an instant, grabbed the arms of the three men, and took away the weapons, leaving no room for the enemy to resist.

Everyone present was like a machine with a clear division of labor, completing their tasks.

"3..."

They used all available items, including hairbands and knives and forks for eating desserts. First, they held down the enemy's mouth with one hand, and then easily slit the enemy's throat with the other hand. .

The others cooperated and held down the wound to prevent their blood from dripping to the ground.

"2……"

After dragging the body to the back of the coffee shop to wait for further processing and dealing with the blood stains on the body, the noise they made was subtle enough to be ignored.

"1……"

When the countdown ended, each other returned to their original seats.

Shirley opened her eyes and looked behind her subconsciously. The original customers in the cafe were still joking and chatting.

Everything seems to have returned to its original appearance...
