The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense, leaving Bai Xue somewhat bewildered.
She couldn't understand why, after just coming out for a meal with Wu Tian, and having been chatting and laughing moments ago, things had turned this way.
However, she naturally didn't want any conflict, so she quickly tried to mediate, "Please don't argue. This is all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Perhaps we should just let it go?"
"Let it go?" the manager said darkly. "Why should it just be let go? Am I losing face for nothing?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Excuse me, but I think you've misunderstood something."
"She wasn't saying 'let it go' to me, but to me. Who do you think you are, that she would say such a thing to you?"
Bai Xue's expression immediately stiffened.
She had indeed told Wu Tian to let it go, but in reality, it was the same no matter who she said it to.
But she hadn't expected Wu Tian to speak so directly, reigniting the conflict.
As expected, after hearing Wu Tian's words, the manager's veins were about to burst with anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think you're so great just because you're eating here."
"I'm telling you, you'd better kowtow and admit your mistake right now, or you won't be leaving this place!"
"You're not letting me leave?" Wu Tian's eyes were indifferent. "Alright then, since you're not letting me leave, then... I'll take you down first before I leave!"
As soon as Wu Tian finished speaking, the manager felt a fierce gust of wind suddenly rush towards him.
The manager reacted quickly, but he was still much slower than Wu Tian.
His heel had barely moved when Wu Tian appeared before him, grabbing his collar.
"Is this all you've got?" his tone was light and full of mockery.
The manager hadn't expected Wu Tian to make the first move, nor for his movements to be so swift.
He grabbed Wu Tian's wrist and struggled with all his might, shouting, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
But no matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn't break free from Wu Tian's grip.
Wu Tian looked at him coldly and said, "Apologize. Right, you like me to kowtow and apologize, don't you?"
"Fine, then I'll do as you say. You kowtow and apologize to me too."
The manager's face immediately turned red.
He struggled non-stop, even using all his strength.
But Wu Tian's hand seemed to be stuck to his clothes, impossible to shake off.
The manager became anxious and frantically shouted to the side, "Hey, what are you guys standing around for? Aren't you going to help me!"
The two waiters nearby heard this and immediately lunged at Wu Tian.
However, they didn't touch Wu Tian. Just as they were about to pounce on him, Wu Tian scared them away with his gaze.
It was a gaze that was hard to describe in words, as if the Grim Reaper himself was about to leap from his eyes at any moment.
Both of them felt as if their throats were being choked by something.
They wanted to say something, but they couldn't utter a sound, not even daring to take a deep breath.
Seeing this, the manager became even more anxious and yelled at them, "What are you standing there for? Go on, attack him!"
The two men shifted their feet slightly but still lacked the courage to move forward.
For them, moving any further would be risking their lives!
Who would want to lose their life here?
Wu Tian said coldly, "No need to shout. They don't dare to come over. As for you, have you thought of what you want to say when you apologize?"
The manager also felt very nervous.
But he still tried to put on a brave face and said, "You, you'd better not be so arrogant. Look carefully at whose territory this is!"
"You dare to do this to me here, do you think you're so amazing?"
"I'm telling you, you'll never be able to beat me!"
"Oh," Wu Tian simply uttered the word, then raised his arm and, with one hand, lifted the manager into the air!
The manager's feet dangled in the air, which only deepened his fear.
He felt his whole body go weak and couldn't help but cry out, "What are you doing, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Wu Tian looked at him indifferently and said, "No problem."
As he spoke, Wu Tian casually loosened his grip, and the manager immediately fell.
But the manager hadn't expected Wu Tian to let go so easily, so he hadn't fully reacted. His legs lost their strength to support him, and he knelt down!
He quickly realized what he was doing and frantically tried to get up.
But at this moment, Wu Tian stepped on the back of his head and said in a deep voice, "Since you've already knelt down, I don't think there's any need for you to get up, is there?"
Wu Tian's actions were too direct, leaving no room for maneuver.
Everyone present was stunned into silence, and even Bai Xue didn't know what to say.
The manager felt immense humiliation but dared not move. He feared that any movement would cause Wu Tian to stomp his head in.
Under these circumstances, he could only shout at the top of his lungs, "Boss! Boss, hurry! Someone is trying to smash the shop!"
Wu Tian frowned and stomped on him twice, saying, "Be quiet!"
But the manager continued to shout, "Boss! Boss!"
Bai Xue, fearing that the situation would escalate, quickly walked over and whispered, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, don't do this. Let him go quickly!"
Hearing Bai Xue's words, Wu Tian knew her concerns.
But just as he was about to move his foot away, a questioning voice came from outside, "Who is it! Who dares to cause trouble here!"
Wu Tian looked towards the door and immediately saw a young man walking in.
This young man was the owner of the restaurant, named Zhou Yang. He had inherited the restaurant from his father.
Zhou Yang, due to his considerable assets, was usually quite arrogant and sometimes even harassed female customers.
The manager's audacity in being so arrogant towards guests was precisely because his boss had fostered such a good environment.
Hearing Zhou Yang's voice, the manager immediately stopped caring about anything else.
He looked up and shouted, "Boss! I'm here, boss! Hurry over here!"
Zhou Yang walked over, and upon seeing the scene, he was also startled.
But he quickly recovered and immediately shouted at Wu Tian in shock and anger, "What do you mean by this? Let him go!"
Wu Tian looked at Zhou Yang and said coldly, "You are the owner here, aren't you?"
"Your employee forcefully tried to sell us alcohol and then insulted us. Tell me, how should this matter be settled?"
