Tian Lu's work shift had ended.
He walked back in, silent as always.
Hao pointed at Tian Lu with his thumb, then waved casually at the others.
"This is Tian Lu."
"A new store guardian."
Mo Xixi looked up from her seat, her noodle cup still steaming.
Her face stayed neutral, but she instinctively clenched the chopsticks a little harder.
Kurome raised a paw without standing up, gaze sharp. 'Another store guardian like me?'
The two of them took a quick measure of Tian Lu. They both felt it. There was no hiding it - his strength was obvious.
Power.
Heavy and solid like a mountain.
Whether he couldn't or was intentionally making it known, it was hard to tell.
Mo Xixi's guard shot up.
For a moment, she was ready to vanish into the storage room.
But she relaxed just as quickly.
Another employee.
Boss hired a strong one again.
Even stronger than her. By far.
She already knew she was the youngest in the store.
Barely thirteen. Already at the Heavenly King Realm.
