Chapter 28 The Strength of Jufu Restaurant

The door opened, revealing someone Lin Xing and the others loathed on sight.

At the same time, a burst of arrogant laughter and a howl—a wolf's howl—rang out.

Bill was in a rotten mood today, a super rotten mood. He hadn't expected that when he came to Jufu Restaurant for a meal, the staff not only failed to treat him with the reverence his status deserved as the grandson of the Left Minister and a genius, but, even more outrageously, actually said there were no tables for him.

A lowly restaurant waiter actually dared to turn him away! To make it worse, they asked him to wait outside—to wait until the guests inside finished their meals and vacated a seat.

This burned Bill up. Just who did they think he was? A noble young master from the esteemed Left Minister's family, a genius, yet here he was, being told to wait outside like some commoner while others finished their meals?

With his status, if they couldn't clear a table on the third floor for him, fine. But to tell him to wait outside? To have Bill wait like those commoners? This was a deep insult to him!

An insult to Bill's status!

The more this happened, the more Bill was determined to dine on the third floor. At the same time, he seethed with resentment toward the waiter who had humiliated him.

"Young Master Bill, there really are no seats available inside. Could you please wait outside in the small lounge and have a cup of tea for a moment?"

A waiter from Jufu Restaurant spoke to Bill with neither subservience nor arrogance, pointing toward a small lounge outside the third floor as he spoke.

In the lounge, several groups of people who were waiting for a table sat there.

"You're telling me to wait there for others to finish their meals? I actually have to wait in line?" Bill said with a hint of disbelief.

"Yes, Young Master Bill. Please rest over there for now," the waiter replied, not budging an inch despite Bill's status, still neither subservient nor arrogant.

"Alternatively, you could go to the second floor. There are available seats there right now."

"What? You're asking me to dine on the second floor with those low-ranking nobles?"

Bill let out a laugh of pure rage.

"Yes, if you lack the patience or don't wish to wait, going to the second floor is the best choice. Moreover, you can still enjoy the dishes from the third floor there."

The waiter patiently explained to Bill.

Bill's eyes were nearly spitting fire. How could this waiter from Jufu Restaurant compare his noble self to those low-ranking nobles?

Yet, the waiter showed not even a trace of fear, still looking at Bill and his companions with neither subservience nor arrogance.

A closer look revealed that this waiter was no ordinary person—he actually possessed the strength of an Advanced Swordsman!

Bill exploded. "What if I refuse? What if I insist on entering? What can you do about it?"

"Then I'm sorry, Young Master Bill. If you insist on forcing your way in, we will have no choice but to take necessary measures to remove those who cause trouble in our restaurant."

The waiter's tone remained neither subservient nor arrogant.

To think they were treating him and his companions as troublemakers and riff-raff! Bill was furious.

Things were at a boiling point, yet oddly, none of the other waiters in the restaurant came to assist. They continued with their own tasks, likely believing that the waiter handling the matter was more than capable of dealing with it alone.

Finally, rage overrode Bill's sense. Although he had been warned by Old Bill that he could cause trouble anywhere except at Jufu Restaurant.

The background of Jufu Restaurant was something even Old Bill wasn't entirely clear about. What he knew was that Jufu Restaurant's backing was deep and powerful, with strength certainly not inferior to his own. In fact, it might even be stronger, as a restaurant chain spread across the continent undoubtedly had formidable backing.

If Bill caused trouble there, his status likely wouldn't be of much use.

Blinded by rage, Bill had completely forgotten Old Bill's solemn warning.

He only knew that his family was all-powerful in the Huaxia Empire. A mere Jufu Restaurant wouldn't even give it a second thought.

Bill, however, was unaware that Jufu Restaurant wasn't just a simple restaurant. It was also a hidden power, one so deeply concealed it made even Old Bill wary.

Bill ignored the waiter blocking his way and decided to barge into one of the private rooms inside, intending to kick out the people inside so he could dine there.

Seeing Bill's attempt to force his way in, the waiter's attitude hardened.

"Young Master Bill, since you insist on being forceful, then you leave me no choice. You will bear all the consequences yourself!"

The people waiting around watched Bill curiously, as if they'd seen something strange.

They also wanted to see what would happen when the Left Minister's son caused trouble here.

Usually, no one dared to make trouble at Jufu Restaurant, because those who did had been dealt with harshly by the restaurant.

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, golden Battle Qi burst forth from his body, blocking the path of Bill and his group.

Bill flew into a rage. "Beat this bastard waiter to a pulp! Swift Wind Wolf, you too!" He waved his hand, ordering his attendants to cripple the waiter blocking their way.

Two attendants stepped forward to block the waiter, while the Swift Wind Wolf lurked menacingly nearby.

The waiter couldn't help but secretly worry. After all, he was only an Advanced Swordsman. Being blocked by two Advanced Swordsmen of the same level, with a Swift Wind Wolf nearby, he stood no chance of stopping Bill.

However, he wasn't too concerned, because the restaurant itself would eventually step in to handle the situation.

As a waiter at Jufu Restaurant, he knew all too well just how formidable the restaurant was!

Seeing that his attendants had blocked the annoying waiter, Bill marched straight for the private room he had his eye on.

With such a commotion happening outside, people from the other private rooms had emerged to see what the fuss was about, but the room closest to the street showed no sign of activity.

Thinking the room was empty, Bill walked up and pushed the door, only to find it locked.

Furious, Bill gestured to the two remaining attendants, ordering them to break down the door.

When the door was broken down, Bill came face-to-face with Lin Xing, the guy he'd seen earlier that day.

What a small world.

Seeing this, Bill let out an arrogant laugh. "So it's you guys! You bunch of cowards, hurry up and make way for me!"

With that, he stepped into the room.

"Get out!" Lin Xing snapped, his face like ice.

Bill was taken aback. He hadn't expected Lin Xing, who had seemed so weak not long ago, to be so assertive now.

"What? You're telling me to get out?" Bill pointed at himself in disbelief as he spoke to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing simply glared coldly and shouted again, "Get out! Didn't you hear me?"

Lin Xing was absolutely furious at this moment.

Bill laughed heartily. "Who do you think you are? Is this your house? Even if it were, so what? I've never failed to get what I want! Kalle, go and drive them out! I've decided this room is mine."

Kalle was one of Bill's attendants.

Lin Xing gave a short, bitter laugh. "Fine, fine. Lin Da, go and throw them out!" Then he added quietly, "Don't kill anyone, but aside from that, do whatever you want."

Although Lin Xing was seething with rage, he still maintained a clear mind. He didn't want to escalate the situation unnecessarily. However, with his abilities, it wasn't hard for him to see that while Kalle was at the level of a Sword Master, he was definitely no match for Lin Da.

A fight was about to break out!!
