Betty's words had no effect; Mary and the others showed no sign of repentance. Instead, they all drew their weapons, ready for battle.
The struggle finally erupted.
Wilson charged at Felix, Mary rushed towards Su Yao, and the remaining young people also had their respective targets to confront.
Su Yao grew up in a time of peace and had never witnessed overly gruesome scenes. After arriving on the Longyin Continent, she had only dealt with evil spirits and wild beasts.
This was the first time the lethal power of magic was directed at a human.
This feeling wasn't very pleasant, but Su Yao wasn't a saint either. She and Mei Li went back and forth, neither giving an inch.
Suddenly, a few unusually rough screams echoed from the entrance of the inn.
It turned out that the three brothers of the Peng family had returned.
After they understood the situation, they quickly joined the battlefield. Peng Er and Peng San ran to Baker's side to help them fight against Jennifer's father and the others, while Peng Yi ran to Su Yao's side.
"Why don't you, a Level Six, come fight me, another Level Six? Bullying a Level Five girl, what kind of hero does that make you?" Peng Yi intervened directly, blocking one of Mei Li's moves.
Merry sneered, "Since when can a thief talk about heroes and good men?"
"You know our identities? When did you find out? You guys are pretty good at pretending." Peng was astonished.
The three brothers had lived in the small town of Woshui for such a long time, and many of their peers still couldn't recognize them. Yet, Melly, who had never seen them before, somehow knew their identities.
Merry's face showed even more mockery: "Who doesn't know about the brotherhood of thieves on Dragon Chant Continent? They can swagger around anywhere. I used to admire you all, but I never thought you'd fall so low. Why would you want to risk your lives for her? Aren't you ashamed? And do you know, she has a Water Repelling Pearl in her possession. You should know the value of a Water Repelling Pearl, yet you're still willing to risk your lives for her?"
"What's so embarrassing about this? The boss pays well, and we're willing. And stop talking about the water-repelling pearl or whatever, we're in the middle of a fight."
The person Peng Yi despised the most was someone like Mei Li. What normal person would suddenly start lecturing their opponent in the middle of a fight?
"If you don't strike, I will." With that, Peng Yi launched another deadly move.
Su Yao stood behind Peng Yi. As soon as Peng Yi made a move, she followed suit.
A level five, Meri can handle; a level six, Meri can also handle.
But a level five combined with a level six, Meri couldn't handle it.
Merry was soon injured.
At this moment, she also realized something was wrong, "You are not poisoned!"
How could someone who is poisoned be as lively as Su Yao!
Jerry hid beside the stairs and, upon hearing this sentence, poked his head out to take a look.
Su Yao's complexion was rosy, her spirits were high, and she indeed showed no signs of poisoning.
"How could it be, how is it possible! I used the ring my father gave me, the poison inside only needs a little to kill a person. Why are you unharmed!"
Su Yao didn't answer; instead, it was Peng Er on the other side who burst into laughter, "You still ask? You're really quite foolish."
"Being fine means not being poisoned."
Peng Er's attitude was truly infuriating, and Jennifer's father swung his knife at him once more.
"Your opponent is me, and you still dare to be distracted."
After speaking, Jennifer's father made another move, forcing Peng Er to flee in panic.
However, the three Peng brothers were quick to escape, and Jennifer's father's moves didn't touch Peng Er at all.
Meili felt something was wrong and didn't waste any time. She directly took out a bunch of magical weapons and attacked Su Yao and Peng Yi.
The dazzling magical energy darted back and forth inside the inn, like rainbows racing each other.
Mellie had many tools, but Su Yao and Peng Yi were no pushovers either. It might have been difficult to suppress Mellie in the early stages, but once Mellie ran out of tools, they easily pierced her through.

As the red blood and screams became more frequent in the inn, the number of fallen people increased.
Wilson heard his son crying for help. He wanted to save his child, but he simply couldn't break free.
Regret swept through his heart. He had no idea that this inn was full of hidden talents, and even an inconspicuous clerk who rarely spoke was more formidable than him.
Felix didn't make many moves; he simply used his magical energy to suppress Wilson, controlling him so he couldn't escape.
Felix slightly moved his fingers, and the struggling Wilson, who was standing, fell to his knees.
Wilson's eyes bulged as if they were about to burst. Red veins covered his entire body, making him look extremely terrifying, to the point where he couldn't even speak.
Jerry, who didn't wait for Wilson, soon fell silent as well; he was knocked to the ground by Baker's shield.
From the very beginning of the battle, Jennifer had been pushed upstairs by her father. So when they all fell, Jennifer was still unaware of it.
In Jennifer's heart, the small hotel manager was no match for her father. She never considered that their group might lose, so she felt particularly at ease staying upstairs.
Jennifer obeyed her father's words, waiting until there was no more noise downstairs or someone came to call her. Only then would she go down, by which time the battle would be over, and she wouldn't be affected.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Jennifer pressed her ear to the door and listened carefully; there was indeed no sound outside.
Jennifer cracked the door open and peeked outside, but unfortunately, she saw nothing. She couldn't wait any longer, so she boldly stepped out.
Just as he stepped out of the room and hadn't yet had the chance to peek down the stairs, he was drawn by a tremendous snore.
"What the hell is snoring so loudly?" Jennifer frowned. "Could there be a fish that slipped through the net? Father really should have done a thorough search."
Jennifer was in no hurry to go downstairs. She took out her magical weapon and headed in the direction from which the snoring was coming.
This was also a guest room, but Jennifer had never seen it before. The luxuriousness of this guest room was out of place with the rest of the hotel.
"Damn boss, such a nice room and he didn't let us stay in it, but gave it to an outsider!"
When Jennifer got angry, her movements became extremely forceful. Just opening a door produced a very loud noise.
It just happened to wake up Zhan Xing, who was sleeping.
The noise seemed to be right next to his ear, making it impossible for Zhan Xing to stay asleep.
"Who dares to disturb my sleep!" Zhan Xing roared.
It almost touched that gold chain! It was the thickest gold chain in its collection!
Zhan Xing glanced at the dreamcatcher; sure enough, there was no gain after it was interrupted.
Its anger could no longer be contained, and it charged straight out.
Jennifer heard the sound, but she didn't dodge; she crashed straight into the flying war star.
Zhan Xing saw clearly the person in front of him, and his brain, still in a state of rage, had a moment of clarity.
It still didn't know that a battle had already taken place on the first floor of the hotel; it only knew that it was difficult to deal with this guest.
But Jennifer couldn't escape the realization of her predicament; her mind wasn't sharp, and she blurted out that the battle star was oddly shaped, offending its vanity.
Zhan Xing didn't want to endure it any longer. He immediately threw away his "clear mind." Today, he was going to teach this annoying human a lesson, and no one could stop him!
It moved swiftly, directly lifting its tail and knocking Jennifer, who had just raised her magical weapon but had not yet activated its magical power, down the stairs.
Jennifer didn't even have time to react; her body was wracked with pain, and then she collapsed onto the first-floor floor.
Su Yao saw the wood chips on Jennifer and the large crack in the wall of the hotel.
In this battle, the most severely damaged area of the inn emerged.
[Warning! Warning! Warning! The hotel damage exceeds fifty percent. Please repair the damaged areas as soon as possible, host!]
"Dock its pay a bit." Ya couldn't help but frown upon hearing the system's report and cruelly offered this suggestion to Su Yao.
Felix, upon seeing it, also showed a rare expression, furrowing his brows, "I agree as well."
As he spoke, Felix also withdrew his magical power. Wilson instantly spat out blood and fell heavily onto his back.
"Left one alive, for questioning?"
"Trial."
Peng Er pulled Peng San over: "Interrogation is our specialty! Boss, why not leave it to us?"
"You actually know how to interrogate?" Stephen, who was bandaging his wound, immediately asked in shock upon hearing this.
Peng San gave a simple, honest smile: "We haven't interrogated others, but we've been interrogated many times."
Rounding up or down is also a form of interrogation.
Among the three Peng brothers, Peng San was the most experienced. He got into the most fights as a child and was caught the most times.
Su Yao looked at the various damages in the inn, feeling a headache. She really didn't have the energy to interrogate, so she directly delegated this task to the three Peng brothers.
Betty was also drinking a potion to heal her wounds. Her level wasn't high, and the injuries she sustained tonight were the most severe among them. But she was very happy because they had chosen the right team.
Moreover, she was very attentive and noticed the issue of cleaning up the inn afterwards. "Do you need us to help clean up the inn, boss?"
Su Yao also thought of this matter. She asked the system:
"Can the daily maintenance and cleaning at the hotel handle bloodstains and corpses?"
[No problem. Once dawn breaks, the inn will be completely renewed.]
……
Hearing the system's promise, Su Yao felt relieved.
"However, since Beck and the others were still around, Su Yao changed her approach: 'The rest of you go ahead and rest. I'll draw two magic circles, and by tomorrow morning, the inn will be clean.'"
Su Yao was very formidable, and Becker and the others had no suspicions about the magic array.
Everyone gradually went upstairs, but Zhan Xing went downstairs instead.
As soon as it came downstairs, it headed straight for Su Yao. During this short period, Zhan Xing had already fully awakened. Seeing the large hole in the wall, it felt extremely guilty.
"Is everything settled? I seem to have missed it." Zhan Xing brushed past Su Yao's hand and handed her a gemstone. "This dragon of mine has always been reasonable. If it's my responsibility, I won't shirk it. Take this gemstone and use it to repair the inn."
Zhan Xing admitted his mistake quickly, but Su Yao didn't indulge him. She took the gemstone, then made a "V" sign with two fingers, indicating that Zhan Xing should take out two more gemstones.
"Two pieces..."
Zhan Xing's face was full of reluctance and hesitation.
Su Yao let out a cold snort and turned to head back to the dormitory, looking genuinely angry.
Zhan Xing quickly grabbed the person, "Three pieces, three pieces. I'll give you two more. Once you take these three gems, you can't be angry anymore."
Su Yao nodded, "Okay."
Looking at the two gems being given away again, Zhan Xing felt a pang of heartache. "If it weren't for the fact that I find you humans quite nice and likable... I would have left long ago if it were someone else!"
"Alright, alright, I am truly honored to receive the Dragon King's favor!" Su Yao pretended not to know that Zhan Xing was actually reluctant to part with the Dreamcatcher.
