"Bang!"
The burly man slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"Kid, if you're tired of living, I can send you to hell right now."
The burly man directly grabbed the long package behind him, swung it forcefully, and drew out a saber. As Su Fan had expected, there was a weapon behind the other party.
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow was terrified when he saw the burly man draw his saber.
"You're carrying a weapon! I'm going to report you to the authorities!"
He was still foolishly provoking the burly man's limits.
Su Fan was speechless. He had seen idiots before, but never one this idiotic.
The other party had already drawn his weapon, and without any strength to back him up, he was still pushing the boundaries. He was simply an idiot.
"Stop! If you want to fight, go outside. If you dare to make trouble in our inn, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Wen Yan said coldly, issuing a warning.
During this time, Su Fan remained an observer. This was ultimately Cheng Yaoyin and the others' business, so it was better to let them resolve it themselves, and also allow them to establish a foothold in Tianlong City.
The burly man frowned. He immediately sensed that the people in the inn were not to be trifled with, as they gave him a feeling of kinship, as if they were also people of the martial world.
"Hmph! You dare to threaten me? I think you don't want to do business anymore! My uncle is the manager of this street. I'll have him kick you out!"
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow jumped up again. He was afraid of the burly man because the burly man looked intimidating.
However, he was not afraid of Wen Yan and the others. In his opinion, all the shops on this street were under his uncle's jurisdiction. Offending him was equivalent to offending his uncle, and offending his uncle meant he couldn't do business on this street anymore.
When had Da Niu ever endured such humiliation? He directly reached out and grabbed the other party by the collar like he was picking up a chick, lifting him up.
"What did you just say?"
Da Niu asked again with an unfriendly expression.
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow was instantly terrified. Lifting a person with one hand, how much strength must that take!
"You can leave, but you have to pay the bill!"
Da Niu said in a deep voice.
The other party was so scared that his legs went weak.
"I'll pay! I'll pay!"
He dared not say anything more, for fear that Da Niu would lose his temper and actually strike him.
Under Da Niu's threat, the well-dressed sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow paid for his previous meal and then left the inn in a sorry state.
Seeing the annoying person leave, the burly man didn't dwell on it and continued to sit down and eat.
Su Fan, meanwhile, looked thoughtfully at the inn's entrance.
The other party would definitely not let this go. It was clear that he had gone back to gather reinforcements. Such a person would never let go of a grievance.
After leaving the inn, the other party glared resentfully at the inn's signboard.
"Peace Inn? I'll make sure you're not peaceful!"
Then, filled with resentment, he went to find his uncle. He was determined to have his uncle shut down this inn and make them kneel and kowtow to apologize before him. This matter wouldn't be over until then!
Just as Su Fan had expected, as dusk approached, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow returned with a group of people.
"Who is the boss? Come out!"
Beside the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow was a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a manager. This street was the property of the Zhao family, and this was where the Zhao family's manager was responsible for its administration.
This middle-aged man was the Zhao family's manager.
At this time, the Zhao family had hitched a ride with the current Crown Prince, and their influence in Tianlong City was soaring. As long as the name Zhao family was mentioned, no one dared to refuse them.
The manager, therefore, became even more arrogant.
Cheng Yaoyin walked out from inside with a puzzled expression.
Seeing so many people arrive, and with such an imposing manner, he was somewhat confused.
"Who are you?"
Cheng Yaoyin asked them curiously.
"Enough nonsense! Where is that big guy? Have him come out and kowtow to me and apologize, otherwise your inn will be closed down today!"
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow stepped forward first and arrogantly said to Cheng Yaoyin.
"Big guy?"
Cheng Yaoyin was stunned, then remembered Da Niu.
"Da Niu has gone out to buy groceries. If you have something to say, tell me,"
Cheng Yaoyin said to them.
"You are the boss of Peace Inn? Your hygiene standards are not up to par, and your cleanliness is not up to par. We are now sealing your inn for rectification."
The manager didn't say another word and directly ordered Peace Inn to be sealed.
His subordinates immediately took sealing strips to cover the doors and windows.
"Stop!"
Cheng Yaoyin could not stand by and watch them seal the inn.
"Who are you people? What right do you have to seal our shop?"
Cheng Yaoyin frowned and asked them.
"Who am I? I am the Zhao family manager, specifically responsible for managing this street. As long as you rent a shop here, you are under my jurisdiction. Seal it!"
The manager sneered. How dare they bully my nephew! I'll seal it until it's gone!
He couldn't manage other places, but in this small area, he was the boss!
"The Zhao family has quite the authority. Does a mere manager have such great power?"
Su Fan knew that Cheng Yaoyin and the others might not be able to resolve this situation. If he didn't intervene, Cheng Yaoyin and the others might resort to force.
"And who are you? This place is under my jurisdiction. I can seal whoever I want. Do you have the right to interfere?"
The manager saw Su Fan walk out and said disdainfully.
"Exactly, my uncle is the Zhao family manager. Do you know the status of the Zhao family? They are the maternal family of the Crown Princess! We are the maternal relatives of the Crown Princess. If you don't want to die, get lost!"
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow said with a cold laugh to Su Fan.
Su Fan shook his head helplessly. These people wouldn't listen to reason, so he had to act first to resolve the situation, and then deal with the aftermath.
"Oh? So many people? Good business."
Just as Su Fan was about to make a move, several people walked in from outside.
Su Fan looked at them curiously. He didn't recognize them.
The leader of the group was an old man with a gray and white beard, indicating his advanced age.
"Which one is Lord Su Fan?"
The white-bearded old man asked around after entering.
Su Fan was stunned.
Isn't this the old master of the Zhao family?
That is, Zhao Ling'er's father, Xiao Yan's father-in-law. Why is he here?
"Uncle Zhao, are you looking for me?"
Su Fan stepped forward and asked.
Zhao Da was also surprised to see Su Fan, clearly recognizing him.
"So Lord Su is you. This old man is here on behalf of the Crown Prince to congratulate Lord Su on the grand opening."
It turned out that Xiao Yan had learned that Su Fan had opened an inn in Tianlong City and wanted to congratulate him on his grand opening. However, due to being tied up with other matters, he could only send Zhao Da to convey his congratulations for now, and he would come personally to offer his well wishes later.
"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle Zhao. Please, have a seat."
Su Fan's eyes flickered.
Zhao family manager? The Zhao family?
He had a plan in mind.
The manager had recognized Zhao Da early on, but seeing Zhao Da chatting enthusiastically with Su Fan, he had no opportunity to interject. Now, he didn't dare to speak and was quietly trying to slip out, wanting to escape before he was noticed. If Zhao Da saw him, his position would be in jeopardy!
"My friend, we are all family. Don't leave."
How could Su Fan let him escape so easily?
