Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 71.009. The Name of Arrogance

The woman's voice was clear and melodious as she spoke:

"A cup of Tomorrow."

Jin Ziyue looked at the bar counter, which was slashed with a knife, with messy glass shards stained with blood, slowly flowing to the edge like long streaks of blood smeared on the table.

His excellent professionalism prompted him to nod and say, "Okay, okay, please wait a moment."

He walked cautiously back to the bar, passing several menacing-looking men along the way. No one dared to block his path, not even the burly man with the dragon and tiger tattoos, who gave him a fierce glare but remained silent.

Jin Ziyue stood the intact chair on the ground and wiped off the dust.

The people on both sides huddled together silently, no longer uttering a word.

A dozen pairs of eyes were watching Jin Ziyue's movements, occasionally glancing at the woman's expression.

Although the woman's eyes were covered with a cloth.

But when she appeared, everyone felt the gaze of death.

Even if they had previously boasted that they were not afraid of the other party, in front of a woman, neither side had a say.

In the quiet bar, soothing jazz music began to play again. The languid melody of "My One and Only Love," played slowly and leisurely, was like a sunset breeze, the twilight air of the departing sun extinguishing the rising murderous intent in the crowd.

"Ding-a-ling." That was the sound of ice cubes hitting a glass. The young waiter, who was also a bartender, skillfully took out the ice.

Someone felt uncomfortable and gestured to their leader, moving towards the woman to indicate what to do.

However, neither of the leaders dared to utter a sound, silently watching the woman.

arrogant.

True to her name, the woman's behavior disregarded everyone present.

The Seven Deadly Sins, the Imperial Guard, the elite of the elite, said to be hereditary families protecting the core clans. But this woman is not among these noble clans.

One person wiped out an entire clan. The once-powerful and arrogant clan was completely destroyed, and a woman took their place and assumed the title.

In the world of the White Walkers, bloodline represents power, but absolute power and status transcend bloodline.

They cannot move if the women don't speak.

Everyone consciously moved about five meters away from the arrogant man, making the already small underground bar feel even more cramped.

The members on both sides could even feel each other's hot breath.

The woman sat quietly at the bar.

"Excuse me, sir, we're out of Blue Vodka. Would you mind if we used Smirnoff instead?" the young bartender asked respectfully.

"Ah."

"Do you have any preferences regarding the taste?" the young waiter asked politely, though his behavior was unusually conspicuous to everyone else.

"No."

"Okay." The waiter didn't say much and quickly found all six base spirits. The sound of the liquid flowing was just as good as the melodious jazz music.

Soon, the young man began to shake, the colliding ice shards mixing with the liquor, his movements elegant.

The bluish-green liquid struggled to penetrate the ice crystals. A glass of Tomorrow was placed on the table, topped with a lemon slice. The bartender bowed and pushed the glass towards the woman with both hands.

"The alcohol content might be a bit high, please enjoy."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people on both sides, a hint of timidity flashed across his face, and he restrained his actions.

"The problem outside has been resolved."

The short young man laughed heartily and strode in. Several other people followed him, clearly the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins. Normally, any one of these people could easily crush everyone present.

The people from Hongdoumen and Qingtiangang were all a little weak in the legs when they went out together.

Three composed-looking men walked in one after another.

The young bartender was a little overwhelmed; there were just too many people.

"Bang." The kitchen door was opened.

The kitchen supervisor, an old man, heard the noise and greeted him warmly: "Sir, you've arrived."

The burly man with the dragon and tiger tattoo immediately got angry and couldn't help but say, "Old Li, isn't this a bit unfair? Didn't you say this bar was going to be transferred to us? What does this mean now!"

The man called Old Li smiled obsequiously: "Mr. Tufang, I have no intention of transferring the shop at the moment. I promised to carefully consider your transaction proposal, but I haven't made a decision yet."

When he spoke, he only glanced at the man with the dragon and tiger tattoo, then lowered his head and stood beside Arrogance.

Dragon Horse peered curiously in; this was the aftermath of a fierce battle when it entered.

"No? If there was nothing, why would our two families go to such lengths over this bar!" someone on the other side chimed in.

The old man, wearing round-framed glasses, had a lively mustache that looked particularly charming when he smiled obsequiously. He said, "As you all know, your family and gang have recently had some people causing trouble here, and business has been bad. So, we had no choice but to negotiate. I really had no other option but to resort to this tactic."

"You!" The man with the dragon and tiger tattoo was so angry that his eyes bulged. Of course, he could tell that the man was subtly mocking them, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Old Li, you'll always have to understand, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake!" Seeing that his plan had failed, the young man spat angrily and called to his men, "Let's go!"

The Qingtian Gang members packed up their weapons, picked up their hammers and knives, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Li Tou, with a kind face, called out to the young man with the earring, "Brother Gu, look at the losses this bar has suffered today—shouldn't you settle the accounts?"

When Gu Taro got angry, his nostrils flared up and he said viciously, "Old Li, don't push your luck!"

Old Li looked troubled, glancing at the arrogant man, and said hesitantly, "Sir, what do you think of this..."

Arrogance remained silent, sitting quietly at the bar without even turning his head. He picked up the bluish-green liquor and took a sip.

"You win!" Gu Taro gritted his teeth and pointed at the group with the dragon and tiger tattoos: "What about them?!"

Old Li said, "Of course, we'll return them all at once."

"You!" Tsuchikata Tsukasa was also furious. This wasn't about compensation, but about the power dynamic.

The old man is forcing them to submit.

The two groups that came to cause trouble left disappointed and had to pay full compensation. This was a devastating blow to the hall, which valued its reputation and honor above all else. If word got out, everyone would know that the Qingtian Gang and Hongdou Gate were still outmatched by the Ranshan Hall. Rumors like "even a starved camel is bigger than a horse" would undoubtedly give the demoralized Ranshan Hall a shot in the arm, while those who had provoked them would be seen as clowns.

The old man's counterattack was something they couldn't accept.

The veins on the forehead of the man with the Longhu tattoo throbbed faintly: "Everything should be done in moderation. It's best to avoid doing things that push your luck."

Old Li chuckled and said, "I'm old and have long since lost my ambitions, so naturally I won't overstep the rules. It's the young people who are hot-blooded and choose to take risks, isn't that right?"

Just as Tsuchikata Tsukasa was about to lash out, a scream suddenly came from behind him:

"Hey, what's wrong with you!"

Keep writing drafts and enjoy every day!
