“Good, good, good, really good!”
A man about the same age as Dongfang Shuo walked down from the second floor.
His face was hung with a contemptuous smile, and his eyes stared at Dongfang Shuo before sneering, “Attacking a disciple of the Dongfang family? Dongfang Shuo, ah, Dongfang Shuo, your personality hasn’t changed all these years. No, it should be said that you’re becoming more and more like a shrew these years, hahaha…”
As soon as he finished speaking, several lackeys behind him immediately laughed.
Dongfang Shuo’s face contorted while he clenched his fists tightly.
Luo Tian looked over at the man who had just walked down before narrowing his eyes.
The shopkeeper bent his body and walked to the man’s side, “Fifth Young Master, I didn’t do anything wrong. I was slapped for no reason. If the Third Young Master was unhappy and hit me, I would accept it. But Third Young Master hit me for an outsider, some dog thing who no one knows where from, and wants to eat a free meal here. I just asked him to pay for the meal, but I didn’t expect this kid to actually attack people, hurting the shop assistant. It’s fine if Third Young Master doesn’t care, but he also attacked me. How can I manage the Dongfang family’s restaurant in the future? Who will dare come here to eat in the future?”
“Fifth Young Master, once this matter is spread out, it will definitely affect the Dongfang family’s face. It’s a small matter that I was beaten, but if this matter were to spread out, I’m afraid the Dongfang family’s face…”
The matter was getting bigger and bigger from his mouth.
A small matter the size of a sesame seed was exaggerated to a huge event.
Moreover, the shopkeeper pretended to be humble and immediately occupied the moral high ground. He was describing Luo Tian and Dongfang Shuo as instigators!
Dongfang Shuo’s brow twitched. Just as he was about to explode in anger, Luo Tian stepped forward and said with a smile, “Shopkeeper, which eye of yours saw me eating without paying? I want to ask you honestly, did I say I couldn’t pay? Besides, I asked you to bring another table of dishes. Did you think that I couldn’t afford the meal? Is that how you, a shopkeeper for the Dongfang family, manage a restaurant? If you do business like this, who will dare come in the future?”
The shopkeeper’s face darkened before a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. “It was based on the clothes you are wearing, based on your cultivation in the Martial Void realm, and based on the manner in which you ate your food. I can conclude that you must be a bumpkin from a poor place. You definitely don’t have any money on you and can’t pay for the meal. If I can’t even see this, then I am not qualified to be the shopkeeper of this restaurant anymore.”
“Humph~!”
After speaking, he snorted with a righteous and superior manner.
Dongfang Shuo immediately shouted, “How much did he eat?! I’ll pay for him!”
The shopkeeper’s face changed immediately. He had determined that Luo Tian had no money and was a poor ghost, but if Dongfang Shuo paid, then…
At this moment, that man suddenly sneered, “Dongfang Shuo, your money is the Dongfang family’s money. You’re using the Dongfang family’s money to deal with the Dongfang family’s shopkeeper for an outsider? You’re really capable. If this kid can’t pay for his meal today, then he can forget about walking out of this door alive.”
“If someone dares to eat a free meal in the Dongfang family’s restaurant, and we don’t teach them a lesson, then people will treat our Dongfang family like we’re incapable!”
Dongfang Shuo became angrier. His voice increased by double as he shouted, “Is Dongfang Shuo a name you can call me by?! Dongfang Ying, according to seniority, I’m your uncle! Calling me by my name directly is disrespectful! I won’t bother you on this matter! Luo Tian is my brother, so his business is my business! So what if my brother eats a meal and doesn’t pay?!”
“What can you do to me?!”
Dongfang Shuo’s temper was not good to begin with.
Although he had returned to the main Dongfang family, no one in the family treated him as a member of the family.
Even a servant would sneer at him when they walked by.
Luo Tian could see this from the shopkeeper’s eyes.
Dongfang Ying narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, “Uncle? Hahaha… Dongfang Shuo, do you really think you’re the Dongfang Shuo from before? Back then, your father was the head of the family, but that’s not the case now. You still dare to act like a young master in front of me? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of person you are now? You dare to be arrogant in front of me? I think you’re trying to court your own death!” ℝ𝒶𝐍òᛒË𝘴
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Dongfang Shuo’s face turned even uglier. His fists were clenched tightly, and his fingernails were embedded into his flesh. Scarlet blood dripped from between his fingers. He was extremely pissed off that he couldn’t even help Luo Tian with such a small matter. The anger he had accumulated in his heart for more than a month had made him unable to endure it anymore.
It could erupt like a volcano at any given moment!
Dongfang Ying looked at Dongfang Shuo’s angry expression and sneered, “My advice to you is to stand aside obediently for what’s happening today. As for this kid… Hehe…”
No matter what, Dongfang Shuo was still the son of the previous patriarch of the family.
He was only a collateral member of the Dongfang family. It was indeed very satisfying to make Dongfang Shuo look bad, but he knew that some things were not that simple. He couldn’t personally take action against Dongfang Shuo, but Luo Tian… He was happy to deal with an outsider when it could indirectly make Dongfang Shuo look bad.
What a satisfying thing this was!
Dongfang Shuo’s expression turned angrier as if his inverse scale had been touched. He was about to explode!
Luo Tian stopped him.
Dongfang Shuo’s current situation was very bad, which was something Luo Tian had sensed from the beginning. If Dongfang Shuo stood up for him today, then his position in the Dongfang family would be even more unstable. Luo Tian didn’t need anyone’s help to deal with people like Dongfang Ying. He stepped forward with a faint sneer on his face.
At this moment, he grabbed a large handful of xuan coins from his spatial ring.
“Clatter~, clatter~…”
“Clatter~…”
He threw them on the table.
There were hundreds of coins in his handful. Luo Tian didn’t say anything, grabbed another handful from the spatial ring, and threw it on the table with a clatter. He grabbed another large handful and threw it on the table, repeating this more than ten times. While he was grabbing the xuan coins, he stared at Dongfang Ying with a playful look on his face.
“Is this enough?”
He softly spat out those three words.
These three words were like a hard slap to the face of the shopkeeper, and also to Dongfang Ying’s face.
A burning, fiery slap!
The shopkeeper’s face changed drastically. Looking at the pile of xuan coins on the table, there were at least a thousand here. Let alone a meal, it would be more than enough to rent out the entire Dongfang family’s restaurant. The xuan coins on the table were like wheat stalks that pierced into his heart.
Dongfang Ying’s face was also very ugly, and he glared at the shopkeeper fiercely.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “I have money, but I cannot eat. Then, I’m being called a dine and dasher, and even having the shop assistant wanting to beat me, a customer up. I won’t come to such a restaurant in the future. Sigh~, this Dongfang family is just so domineering. Even a servant can bully customers like this. What an amazing and powerful family.”
There were other people still in the restaurant.
Seeing Luo Tian take out so many xuan coins all at once, they instantly felt that what Luo Tian said made sense. One of them nodded and said, “Having money and no place to eat? This shopkeeper is really going too far.”
“That’s right.”
“Who would dare to come here to eat in the future?”
“Way too arrogant.”
