Lady Boss, your friend is a professional killer!

Even though I don't have any concrete evidence, I'd rather believe it than not.

Lady Boss, Gotham is too dangerous. You should pack up and run!

Lady Boss, you might not believe me, but I really have superpowers!

My superpower tells me that there's something wrong with your friend …

On the way to the restaurant, Peter kept thinking about how to tactfully tell Gu Shanna that "Be careful of Damien, danger is not far away." It sounded like he was trying to drive a wedge between them.

Before he could come up with a perfect excuse, he heard a commotion in the distance.

Because of his superpower, Peter's hearing was much sharper than the average person's. He quickly discerned that the noise was coming from somewhere near the restaurant. It sounded like an argument.

Even though the police station was right across the restaurant, Peter knew that in a strange place like Gotham, the police's deterrent effect on criminals was limited. Therefore, he quickened his pace, but controlled it so that no one would notice anything unusual as he ran toward the restaurant.

Peter turned the last corner and saw the entrance of the restaurant. There were four fat men standing there like small hills. They were talking emotionally. The lady boss was surrounded by the four of them, and she looked like she had nothing left to live for.

When he looked again, the four of them were still wearing the same uniform. They held banners in their hands, and a cloth bag of the same color as their clothes was tied to their foreheads.

Peter's heart skipped a beat. In the past few years, he had been on missions with Mr. Stark, and he had seen a lot of small gangs like this. This was the standard configuration of a cult!

Just as he was thinking about whether he should go up and give each of the four fat men a beating or call the police, he heard someone yell from afar, "What's going on over there?"

Then, a tall and handsome young detective crossed the street and strode toward the four fat men. Because of his imposing manner and vicious aura, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was going to kill the four fat men.

When he saw the man's face, Peter was momentarily stunned.

Although he had already sensed Detective Grayson's strength in the alley the other day, he didn't expect that Detective Grayson, whom his lady boss and Gebbi described as gentle and cheerful, would have such a violent side.

Peter narrowed his eyes, thinking that Gotham was really full of talented people. There was a professional assassin who dared to set up a killing service, and there was also a detective who was strong enough to take him on alone. If he followed the clues, how interesting would it be?

It was a wise choice for him to work in the restaurant opposite the police station. In just a month, he had found two people worth digging into.

Dick had always hated troublemakers, so when he saw the four fat boys, he rushed over murderously. He didn't expect Gu Shanna to be there too, and she was surrounded in the middle, unable to move. She looked at him with a pitiful gaze.

Stunned, Dick hurriedly restrained his viciousness and tried to squeeze out a peaceful smile, but his tone was still cold. "What are the four of you doing here?"

When the fat boys saw him, they didn't care about Gu Shanna anymore. They gathered around him and complained, "Officer, you have to help us!"

"The flyer clearly says that they're fried beef balls, but the restaurant insists that they're not selling them. Don't you think that's false advertising?"

"Beef balls are the specialty of a superhero themed restaurant. She can't make it, but she still has the nerve to say that she's the boss of a superhero themed restaurant. She's a copycat, right?"

"Hmph, she must have seen that the superhero themed restaurant was doing well, so she deliberately kept the original name to ride on the popularity!"

Dick: "???"

What the hell was that?!

Why didn't he know that the superhero themed restaurant had such a specialty dish? Also, that super disgusting restaurant actually had fans?

What kind of weird world was this?!

Gu Shanna still looked like she had nothing to live for. She said gloomily in a low voice, "Our restaurant is a proper restaurant. There's no damn novelty cuisine."

When the four of them heard that, they shouted again, "Are you looking down on our novelty food?!"

"The superhero themed restaurant is the three-time gold medal winner of the World Novelty Food Competition. Since you don't like novelty food, why did you buy their signboard?"

"That's right!

This is a fixed gathering place of the World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy, Gotham Chapter. You can't take away our happiness! "

As they shouted, they rushed toward Gu Shanna. Dick quickly caught two of them, and the other two were stopped by Peter, who had rushed over after hearing the news. No one could take another step forward.

The four fat guys looked big, but they were actually very cowardly. Before they could do anything to them, they were already crying and squatting obediently next to Dick, not even daring to breathe.

After subduing the fat guy who was causing trouble, their gazes met again. They could clearly feel that there were more emotions hidden in each other's eyes than last time. However, this gaze only lasted for a few seconds before both parties turned their attention to the fat guys who were hugging each other and trembling.

The four fat guys with strange brain circuits were still crying out for justice, but they didn't dare shout too loudly due to force. They could only snort softly, which annoyed Dick.

What novelty food? It was clearly dark cuisine.

Dick muttered in his heart. He was afraid that the four of them would get agitated and do something to hurt Gu Shanna, so he wanted to handcuff them back without any explanation.

"Don't." Gu Shanna quickly said, "It's just a misunderstanding. Just make it clear."

Dick frowned. "The fumes from the cars on the street are making people confused. Let's let them go back to the station to calm down."

Gu Shanna cursed in her heart.

It wasn't easy for her to start promoting, and these four fat guys came to cause trouble. If they were really handcuffed and sent to the police station, the four of them would go back and spread rumors, and the restaurant would be blacklisted before it even became popular.

At this moment, Peter suddenly said, "What do you mean by the World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy, Gotham Chapter?"

The four fat guys looked at Dick's expression in fear and didn't dare to say anything. Peter turned around to look at Gu Shanna. Gu Shanna was stunned. After understanding what he meant, she could only look at Dick.

Dick was speechless.

Why do you keep looking at me with those pitiful puppy-dog eyes?

After getting Dick's permission, the four fat guys explained to Peter that the so-called World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy was an international organization formed by people from all over the world who loved exotic gastronomy. It was dedicated to promoting and sharing exotic gastronomy from all over the world.

The World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy, Gotham Chapter, was the branch of this organization in Gotham. Its purpose was to promote and share exotic gastronomy. Occasionally, it would hold salons to let local gastronomy enthusiasts get to know each other and expand their circle of friends.

Peter asked again, "So, how do you define exotic gastronomy?"

One of the fat guys said straightforwardly, "It's actually dark cuisine. It's just that the members think it's cooler to call it that."

The other three complained, "Why did you reveal the organization's big secret so easily?"

Peter was speechless.

Dick was speechless.

Gu Shanna was speechless.

Peter waved at Gu Shanna. When she leaned over, he said in a low voice, "Lady Boss, I thought of a free publicity opportunity."

Gu Shanna was faintly uneasy. "… What do you want to do?"

Peter said, "I did a search. This World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy is quite large. It has a few million members around the world."

Gu Shanna was even more uneasy. "So?"

Peter said calmly, "They look down on mainstream delicacies. Whenever they eat such food, they will denounce it in speech and in writing. They will attack it wantonly on the Internet. They have a lot of Twitter followers and a lot of regular visitors to the official forum.

Lady Boss, I was thinking … "

The most terrifying thing had finally happened. Gu Shanna's body stiffened. "… If you dare to say that black and red are also red, I'll beat you to death."

"Black and red are indeed red —"

After seeing his boss's dark face, Peter cleverly changed his words. "Lady Boss, I read a few popular articles by the World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy criticizing mainstream food. Do you know what the comments are saying?"

Gu Shanna was vigilant. "What are they saying?"

Peter smiled and said, "Except for a few loyal members of the organization who thanked Minesweeper, most of the netizens thanked Amway. Some people even said that the restaurant that was criticized most harshly by the World Confederation of Exotic Gastronomy must be the best restaurant in the area."

Gu Shanna was confused by his words. After a long time, she finally understood. "You mean to say that you deliberately let the World Confederation criticize my restaurant?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the two of them exchanged tacit glances. They turned their heads and looked at the four fat guys squatting on the street.

Dick, who was next to the four of them, asked, "… Why are you smiling so kindly all of a sudden?"

Gu Shanna ran over cheerfully and whispered in his ear, "Detective Grayson, I want to ask them to help promote the restaurant. Can you not cuff them?"

Dick thought that he had heard wrong. "What?"

Gu Shanna could only move closer and raise her voice. "I want them to help promote the restaurant."

Dick looked at her with a look that said, "Are you out of your mind?"

"It's Peter's suggestion. I think it's feasible."

Gu Shanna's breath was soft and warm, and it tickled Dick's earlobe. "Besides, they didn't do any real harm to me. There's really no need to cuff them."

Dick's mind was rippling. After a long time, he finally said, "Are you sure?"

Gu Shanna understood that their publicity operation was a little tricky and couldn't be explained right away. However, Dick would probably understand after he saw the effect.

Thus, she nodded crazily and said, "Also, I've heard that for food lovers, eating food that mainstream society approves of is a torture worse than killing their whole family.

Wouldn't the punishment be worse if they had to stay in the restaurant and eat normal food be worse than spending a night in the police station? "

Dick: "…"

He looked at Gu Shanna and then at the signboard of the superhero -themed restaurant, and couldn't help but feel emotional when he remembered the horror food he had eaten here in the past.

However, under Gu Shanna's expectant gaze, Dick couldn't refuse. After a long sigh, he picked up the four fat guys and said, "Whatever!

I'll be at the police station all day. Call me if you need anything. "

Gu Shanna beamed with delight. "Thank you, thank you!"

Dick said helplessly, "Take my number."
