Chapter 1701: Got It, Take Action
A thought suddenly popped up in the bossâs mind that he had indeed seen a Guinness world record for eating hot dogs. It had actually been for more than 100. Huh? Did he remember wrong? It was over 200.
But thanks to Lukeâs mental suggestion and the money, the boss immediately stopped worrying.
If they really stuffed themselves to death, it wouldnât happen here, right? The boss mumbled to himself as he went back to work and grilled skewers like crazy.
Selina, on the other hand, exclaimed, âSomethingâs happened at the cafe?â
Luke also saw the image transmitted by the drone near the cafe.
50 to 60 burly men got out of cars at the foot of the hill and started climbing.
Carolâs cafe was the only building on this hill, and these people could only be there for the women.
Luke sighed regretfully. âBoss, are the skewers ready?â
The boss: âYes, yes, coming right up.â
Luke told Selina to pack up the skewers as he went to get the car.
A minute later, his car stopped next to the stall. Carrying a big takeaway bag of meat, Selina and Gold Nugget got into the backseat.
The boss waved reluctantly. âCome again next time.â
He and his wife and daughter had been busy for an hour tonight, and had gotten 1,200 dollars from Luke.
With that last takeaway order of skewers, he had earned at least 150 dollars in âtips.â
He really wished that every day⊠No, every month, he had a ârich customerâ like this. A little light-headed, the boss couldnât help but make this beautiful wish.

A while ago, on the patio outside the coffee shop on the hill, Carol looked warily at Marcos next to Lorna. âDana (Lornaâs alias), whoâs this?â
Just now, she had seen Lorna and the man arguing on the path, so she had rushed over.
It was a good thing that Marcos was the one who was clearly âbegging,â or Carol wouldâve taken out a big knife.
The moment Lorna saw Carol, she was a little embarrassed. âHeâŠâ
Carolâs eyes swept between them and stopped on their hands. âBoyfriend?â
âThat⊠yes.â Lorna wasnât too surprised. Instead, she was relieved. Some answers were hard to give.
Carol looked at Marcos and said, âLetâs talk inside.â She then turned around and walked into the cafe.
After Lorna and Marcos followed her in, Carol brought over a bottle of water and placed it on the table at the door. âHave some water first. Dana, come with me.â
Marcos tactfully sat at the door and watched the two women walk behind the counter.
Suddenly, he heard some noise and turned to look outside.
The light in the cafe was brighter than outside, but he could still vaguely see a few people moving around. âWho is it?â
As soon as he said that, more people flooded the path. One of them, a short and fat man, smiled smugly. âRun, Marcos. Letâs see if you can run again.â
The crowd approached quickly, and Marcosâs face changed. He immediately hid behind the wall and yelled in the direction of the counter, âBe careful. Torres is coming.â
Almost instantly, the conversation behind the counter stopped, and Carol and Lorna ran out.
Marcos hurriedly warned, âDonât come out. They all have guns. Run out the back.â
As he spoke, he picked up the chair next to him and pushed it into the doorway.
Forget closing the door; the cafe had glass walls.
He was only doing this to prevent the other party from charging in.
To Marcosâs surprise, Lorna and Carol didnât look flustered.
He was very familiar with Lorna and knew that she had guts.
However, Carol, who was short and thin and dressed like an ordinary, guileless-looking person, asked indifferently, âWhoâs Torres?â
Before Marcos could reply, Lorna simply explained, âThe leader of a large local drug gang. Heâs in charge of transporting illegal drugs.â
âWhy are they here?â Carol walked around the counter and picked up two kitchen knives. She then opened a drawer and put a box full of steak knives on the counter.
Lorna didnât look happy, but she still replied succinctly, âThey want Marcos to be a drug mule, but he doesnât want to do it. They stopped him in a bar in the city just now.â
Carol turned around and looked at her. âYou were there?â
Lorna said, âYes.â
Carol sighed. âGot it. Iâll take action later. Attack with all your strength.â
Lorna was surprised. âFull strength?â
This meant that whether anyone died or not didnât matter; however, Carol had never been someone who liked to take lives.
Carol nodded and sighed to herself:?
Consider this my last bit of help to you before we part ways.
At that moment, the brawny men moved the chair out of the way and entered the cafe.
Defenseless, Marcos could only retreat to where Lorna and Carol were. He couldnât help but ask, âWhy donât I draw their attention, and the two of you leave first?â
Carol glanced at him in surprise and asked Lorna, âCan he do it?â
Lorna was a little annoyed. âJust treat him like a big, bright lightbulb.â
Carol got it. She nodded at Marcos. âI see. Take it easy. Iâll deal with them first, and you later.â
The men who had rushed in spread out and surrounded the three of them; it appeared that they were in control of the situation.
A short and fat person walked in. It was none other than Torres. âHaha, why arenât you running? Hm, another woman? Okay, okay, weâll sell them together. Theyâre a little ugly, but they can still be sold for some money.â
Carol narrowed her eyes and gripped two table knives under the counter. âYou sell organs?â
Torres couldnât be bothered to answer the question. âMarcos, tell me about the Mexican route, and Iâll spare them.â
Marcos gritted his teeth but didnât dare say anything.
He could defend himself, but now that the other party was using Lorna and her sister against him, he didnât dare refuse.
Torresâs 20 men were all armed, most of them with pistols, and four with M10s.
At such close range, the shooters could hit them with the four M10s even with their eyes closed.
Carol took a deep breath. âLorna, get ready! Go!â
When she said âready,â Lorna dropped slightly and narrowed her eyes.
Under her control, two dark gray daggers floated out of a dark corner and quietly approached two burly men holding the submachine guns.
At the word âgo,â the knives sped up and pierced the throats of the two men.
Carol threw out two table knives from under the counter at the same time. The blades drew two straight and blurry silver lines in the air as they shot at two other men.
