Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe

"Sasaki-give it back!!"

The crew-cut man screamed strangely, his legs going weak as he collapsed, using the momentum to roll backward like a donkey to create distance.

Wang Ziqin never had him as the target, pushing off with his right foot, using the force of his knife swing to suddenly spin and pounce towards his wife beside him.

The two were already sitting side by side on the sofa, with this sudden turn and the distance of his arm, the tip of the dagger instantly reached the masked man’s face.

The man was also taken aback by the sudden situation and before he could react, the skin on his neck prickled with goosebumps, as if the dagger would pierce through it at any second.

He had never experienced such a scene. Instinctively, he stepped back and tried to run, but was grabbed by Chu Yueyue, who reversed and grabbed him by the collar.

She was not just an ordinary trophy wife married into a wealthy family; before marrying Wang Ziqin, she was equally a genuine strong businesswoman who had never encountered such humiliation.

What’s more, it was a damned special day, making her even more furious, and without holding back she grabbed the man’s hem with all her might and shouted.

"Kill him, husband! Attempted murder and home invasion, no one will care if you kill him!!"

"?!!"

She deliberately shouted in French, causing the five intruders in the living room to freeze simultaneously.

No, they just wanted to steal some valuables, how did it escalate to attempted murder?

Before they could react, the glass door leading from the living room to the pool closed with a ’click’ sound, completing the automatic shut quietly.

Not only that, but the blackout curtains were also closing on their own, with an air of trapping them in one swoop.

Wang Ziqin let out a beast-like roar, and with a missed knife swing, he didn’t pause at all, propping his left hand on the sofa’s backrest to flip smoothly over it, as Chu Yueyue cooperatively ducked low, yanking down fiercely.

The man screamed repeatedly, frantically stepping back to escape the woman’s control, but was horrified to find she was surprisingly strong.

"Sasaki-give back, Sasaki-give back!!!"

The other four were scared stiff by the scene, not only showing no intention to help but pulling at the curtains that were closing, trying to open the door to escape.

"Baka!!"

"Why won’t this door open?!"

"Smart remote! It’s smart home tech, damn rich people!!"

The crew-cut man suddenly turned his head and indeed saw Chu Yueyue tightly holding a mini remote control in her hand at some unknown point, coldly looking in their direction.

"Go to hell!"

Wang Ziqin didn’t care that much, grabbing the man’s collar with one hand, and viciously thrusting the dagger in his right hand towards his chest.

The man waved his hand in fear to block, feeling a cool sensation in his palm the next second, with a few drops of hot liquid splattering on his face.

"Aaaaaahhh!!!!"

"My hand, my hand!!!"

As he opened his eyes, he saw the sharp dagger had pierced through his palm completely, with blood dripping from the blade onto his face.

Wang Ziqin’s eyes flashed with a sense of satisfaction as he growled lowly: "Enjoying home invasion, huh?"

"Like to pull off people’s wife’s clothes, huh?"

"It was this hand that did it, right?"

"Damn Jinling people!"

"Out of all the people in the world, you chose to mess with us Jinling people, tough luck for you!"

"Remember not to be an intruder in your next life, and don’t mess with us Jinling people again!!"

Completely ignoring the man’s life, he forcefully pulled out the dagger and raised it high, stabbing down at the chest again viciously.

The bloody scene thoroughly terrified the other four, who frantically rammed their bodies against the glass door, shouting nonstop.

Initially thought they only wanted to scare them away, but it seemed this couple genuinely intended to kill them right here!

"Damn it, why is this glass so sturdy?!"

"Get tools, quick, get tools to break it!!"

"Are you looking for this?"

A ghostly female voice sounded from behind, instantly dropping the temperature around several degrees.

Chu Yueyue still draped in a loose pure white bathrobe, with one fragrant shoulder exposed, revealing smooth skin like white jade, holding a sharp kitchen knife walking towards them step by step.

Not a Western long knife, but an Asian style square knife, looking thick, seemingly used for chopping bones.

The several people trembled with pale faces, immediately covering their heads and running around wildly.

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!!"

"Sumimasen, Sumimasen!!!!"

In such high-end villas, there is an emergency alarm system installed; as everyone inside the house played a game of cat and mouse, police sirens wailed outside, several armed officers burst in.

"Don’t move!"

"Hands up!"

The dim lights inside the house turned on.

Chu Yueyue casually placed the kitchen knife on the coffee table, shaking the remote in her palm, pointing at the few huddled and trembling in the corner.

"I called the police, they are robbers."

"?"

A few police officers, after seeing the scene inside the room, had strange expressions on their faces.

Four small-framed, masked men were cowering in the corner with their hands on their heads, trembling violently, each in different poses. One even tucked his head between his knees, as if by doing so, he wouldn’t be seen.

From behind the sofa came continuous groans, and a large pool of blood had spread across the floor tiles.

Wang Ziqin seemed to be sitting on something, only half of his head visible, with a few splatters of blood on his cheek. He was looking down with a disdainful gaze at something.

Seeing the bloodstain, the police officers tensed up, gripping the handles of their guns tightly.

"That one over there, slowly stand up and let us see your hands!"

Wang Ziqin gave them a glance, nodded, and slowly stood up, raising his hands in the process.

In his right hand, he held a knife still dripping with blood, and in his left hand... was a severed hand?

A severed hand!!!!

"He’s my husband, and he fought the robbers to protect me!"

Before the police officers could speak, Chu Yueyue coolly shouted, swiftly narrating the situation that had occurred, pointing to her half-exposed shoulder.

After hearing her description, the police officers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Throw the knife on the ground, the severed hand too, and slowly lean against the wall. We’ll handle the scene."

They were responsible for the security of this villa area, while also taking care of the entire region, but they definitely prioritized the wealthy.

Knowing that the male homeowner had single-handedly fought five armed robbers, not only without getting injured but even chopping off a hand, left them with only one thought.

Great Xia people really know kung fu!

Otherwise, how do you explain this?

Wealthy people are usually lazy, and it’s already good if they’re not overweight, let alone having the time and energy to practice self-defense techniques; very few even work out.

He took on five, even killing one, isn’t this... stronger than us police officers?

Maybe the female homeowner called the police, worried these robbers might die here?

She seemed quite nice, fitting the kind-hearted Great Xia people stereotype.

On the way here, they hadn’t been idle. Upon receiving the report, they already knew the homeowner’s nationality and basic information, and of course, they knew they were from Great Xia.

Soon, the four robbers were cuffed and taken out, the one with the severed hand fainted from fright, mumbling something unintelligible all the while.

After taking them away, the police even kindly helped clean the bloodstains on the ground, leaving a business card behind.

"Ma’am, I’m the captain of this area, Turion. If you have an emergency, you can contact me directly. Pressing the panic button will deploy at least four officers; if it’s not an emergency like today, just call me."

"It’s my honor to serve you both!"

After saluting, the police captain strode out, closing the door behind him without any intention of questioning further.

He said he’d go interrogate the robbers first and contact them in the coming days if any more details were needed, advising them to rest today.

Maybe this is the special treatment for the affluent.

The result was clear. Against two to five, with the female homeowner pregnant, it can be disregarded.

Under such circumstances, let alone chopping off a robber’s hand, even killing them all wouldn’t be a problem.

As the police sirens faded away, the room fell silent, leaving only the heartbeat of two people.

Wang Ziqin didn’t feel any relief from surviving the ordeal, but rather plopped down on the sofa with a bit of frustration.

"Damn it, I’m still too merciful. There were countless opportunities to kill that guy but I couldn’t bring myself to do it."

"Not just humans, I’ve never killed chickens, ducks, or fish. I need to find a chance to practice. Next time, I’ll have John bring some live chickens and ducks, and let Old Lin teach me how to kill."

Chu Yueyue said nothing, quietly approaching him, gently wiping the bloodstains from his cheek with her soft hands, a strong affection rising in her eyes.

"Honey."

"Hmm?" Wang Ziqin lifted his head suddenly, scanning her body, "Sweetheart, are you hurt anywhere?"

Chu Yueyue shook her head and leaned in to give him a gentle kiss on the lips.

"Are you tired?"

"Me? Not at all. I feel like I have endless energy. Hey, let me tell you, I felt as if my ancestors were bestowing grace upon me in that moment, like a small universe erupting, you know? It’s just..."

Chu Yueyue smiled softly, watching her lover without interrupting his bragging.

While he was passionately describing the awakening of his ancestral power, Chu Yueyue gently lifted her other side of the robe, revealing her smooth shoulder underneath.

"?"

Wang Ziqin’s eyes widened, his mouth gaping, mind blank, suddenly at a loss for words.

"If you’re not tired, carry me back to the bedroom, will you?"

Chu Yueyue suddenly radiated extreme allure, unique to a mature woman’s sensuality, as she straddled his thigh, offering the waist tie of her robe to his hand.

"How about having a second child?"

"?!"

With no time to critique his wife’s wording, Wang Ziqin’s breathing became heavy. Riding the wave of adrenaline before it subsided, he promptly picked up his wife and dashed into the room.
