Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Kailin blew on the teacup. Suddenly, Zhao Heng blocked the teacup with his hand. At this moment, she was stunned and looked at Zhao Heng.

"Boss, just say whatever you want to say." Zhao Hang said seriously.

The man nodded and said, "I didn't expect this gentleman to be more anxious than I am. Very well, that's the case. Xiao Liuzi, go get our goods."

"Okay." The man leading the way nodded, then walked to the back of the cabinet and took out a box.

He opened the box, and inside it were almost all the small bottles that everyone had seen before, and there were more than a dozen bottles at once.

At this moment, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Look carefully, these are all top-quality goods."

"So many?" Karin asked in surprise.

"Of course, these are all new arrivals, and there will be another batch of goods in a while. Of course, if you like them, I can sell them all to you at a low price. Just like me, Liu, and you can be friends." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Oh, is the shopkeeper so kind?"

"No, no, I just hope you guys will come back often in the future."

"How much is this bottle?" asked Karen.

"No more, no less, exactly 500 Yan coins."

"Mr. Duo?" Kailin said in surprise, her eyes wide open. "It's so expensive, you might as well just rob it!"

Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand calmly and said, "Alas, that's wrong. I was talking about the cost price. I've taken a big risk to sell it to you at such a low price."

"Oh? Is that so?" Zi Xuan asked pretentiously.

"Of course, if you still have questions about our product, I don't mind you trying it for free."

Hearing this, Kailin's eyes lit up and she said, "That's great! In that case, let me give it a try."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, then opened one of the bottles and poured out a pink pill.

"Then please give it a try, miss." He handed the pill to Karen.

Karen looked at the pink pill and was about to try it, but suddenly, Zhao Heng stopped her again.

"Wait a minute, Kailin!"

"Well, what's wrong?" Kailin said dissatisfiedly with her hands on her hips.

At this moment, Mo Yan on the side asked in confusion: "Zhao Heng, what's going on? Why do you seem strange today?"

"It's your illusion," Zhao Heng said perfunctorily. He then looked at Shopkeeper Liu again and said, "Shopkeeper, since you are so sure about your product, why don't you try it for us?"

"Ah I?"

"Yes, before at the entrance of the alley, your employee said that the original intention of your product is to serve everyone. In this case, if you, the shopkeeper, try it yourself, won't it prove your care for everyone?" Zhao Heng said.

"Ah, this..." Shopkeeper Liu stammered, "Brother, you're joking. This is a pill for internal use. Only the person who takes it knows the effect. If you want me to use it myself, aren't you just bragging about it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Heng chuckled softly, "That's wrong. In my hometown, there's an ancient legend about Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. Since the shopkeeper is truly dedicated to serving everyone, why would he care about these rumors?"

"That... is true..." Shopkeeper Liu's expression wavered and he stammered.

Seeing this, Kailin immediately became puzzled: "Why, is there really something wrong with these things?"

"Humph, isn't it obvious?" Zhao Heng sneered. "It's clear from the way he was sneaking around on the street and treating customers like that. If it was a legitimate business, why would he be so secretive? Besides, you put the same thing in the tea, right?"

"What?" Kailin was shocked again.

"You, how did you know..." Shopkeeper Liu blurted out in surprise, and then immediately covered his mouth, but it was too late.

"Oh, you've admitted it yourself, haven't you?" Zhao Heng sneered again. "Actually, I was just guessing. I didn't know you put something in the tea. After all, this is unusual, so we have to be careful, right?"

At this moment, when Manager Liu realized that he was exposed, he immediately stopped pretending.

"Yes, I admit that these Linghua Pills are neither supplements nor medicines. They are simply addictive pills. But what does it matter if you know this? In our line of work, if we don't have some connections, how can we survive until now?"

"Addicted?" Kailin asked in surprise, "Could it be that these things are..."

"Well, it seems that this time I encountered it for real." Mo Yan nodded.

"I see. This is beyond my expectation. But since I have encountered it, we must deal with it to the end!" Zhao Heng said seriously and picked up the Yalong Spear.

"Oh, just you guys?" Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand, and then many people armed with weapons rushed out from all directions.

The weapons of those people were varied and although they were not as great as those of the Fallen Angel Troupe, their numbers did surprise everyone.

"I know you're mercenaries, but two fists can't beat four hands. Plus, our cargo carriers are coming soon. Even if you had wings, you probably wouldn't be able to fly out of here!"

Just as Shopkeeper Liu was about to give an order, Xiaoliu, who had left the shop earlier, suddenly returned from the back door.

"Boss, the delivery man is here!"

"Really? That's great." Shopkeeper Liu smiled and then turned his gaze to Mo Yan and the other three. "Everyone, attack! Leave no one behind!"

"Yes!"

"Let's see who dares to move!"

Suddenly, the front door was kicked open, and a man holding a steel knife entered the store. It was Lei Ming, who stamped his feet, and then several soldiers dressed as businessmen rushed in from the back and front doors.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment: "How could it be, Xiaoliu, didn't you say the delivery people were here?"

Lei Ming sneered and said, "He's right. Your delivery man was apprehended by our comrades last night. Isn't it quite considerate of the Linhui Navy to personally provide door-to-door service?"

Shopkeeper Liu gritted his teeth and shouted, "So what? Everyone, come on, break out of this encirclement!"

"Oh, you're so stubborn." Lei Ming sighed angrily, then said, "Everyone listen up! Don't let anyone escape. Try to leave as many people alive as possible. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded at the same time.

In an instant, the scene fell into chaos.

Although Liu's men were numerous, they were quickly outmatched by the well-trained Linhui Navy. Their attacks were disorganized, while the soldiers coordinated well, attacking and defending in an orderly manner.

Seeing the situation was dire, Shopkeeper Liu attempted to sneak away. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly moved toward a hidden door in the shop. However, his every move was observed by Zhao Heng. He rushed over and blocked his path with his Fanglong Spear.

"Boss, where do you want to go?" Zhao Heng said coldly.

"You, don't go too far!" Shopkeeper Liu shouted in a stern but cowardly manner.

A moment later, Lei Ming's men had subdued all the enemies. Those thugs who still tried to struggle were tied up tightly with special ropes by the soldiers, and could only lie flat on the ground.
