Chapter 90 The Sword Is About to Be Drawn
Ren Fa really didn't know how to answer his daughter's question.

Unless he finds someone even more powerful than Uncle Nine, he really doesn't want to offend anyone before then! He's not afraid of real swords and spears, but he's afraid of evil spirits and ghosts...

Just then, Ren Fa's gaze fell upon a fair-skinned young man sitting in the restaurant staring at him. An idea came to him, and he pretended to be angry, letting out a cold snort and saying, "What are you looking at! Eat your food!"

Li Xuan: “…”

Ren Tingting's attention was instantly drawn.

Ren Fa thought to himself, "I'll use this method to make Tingting forget about Uncle Jiu..."

He was about to continue his anger and make things difficult for this unfamiliar stranger when Ren Tingting suddenly stepped in front of him.

"Tingting?"

"Dad, didn't we agree not to get angry so easily? Please don't do this..."

Li Xuan: “…”

He has traveled to so many worlds, yet he still finds himself unable to express his inner feelings in words on many occasions.

Looking at the dishes the waiter brought over, Ren Tingting smiled shyly at Li Xuan and said, "This restaurant is owned by my father. I'm sorry for my father's rudeness earlier. This meal is on the house."

Ren Fa: "..."

He thought to himself, "Daughter, since our restaurant opened, apart from the support of old friends, how many people have we actually seen? Although I'm not short of money, is it really appropriate for you to just ask for half a month's worth of revenue to be waived?"

Li Xuan politely replied, "It's alright, I'll pay for it myself."

In the movie, Ren Fat has a kind of "simple-minded" look. Apart from not being cremated, he seems to believe whatever Uncle Nine says, making it easy for people to overlook his "triad" background.

Now that it was right in front of him, Ren Fa had already pulled two clever tricks in a short time.

Li Xuan wasn't good at physiognomy, but Ren Fa's brows exuded a hint of murderous intent, and his eyes had three-tenths of their whites showing. Although he was squinting, he couldn't hide the sinister look in them...

When Ren Tingting was speaking.

Ren Fa stood behind without speaking, his eyes coldly scrutinizing Li Xuan with a critical gaze.

Ren Tingting wanted to say something more.

Ren Fa stepped forward and interrupted, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. May I ask what brings you to our Renjia Town?"

He could tell that his daughter seemed to have a crush on the young man in front of her, but he would never agree to marry his daughter off to a stranger of unknown origin, no matter how delicate and beautiful she was!

Those who are loyal are mostly butchers, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars.

Li Xuan also saw the "expulsion" in Ren Fa's eyes and smiled, "He's just a traveler who likes to travel around. He just happened to be passing through Renjia Town, so he stopped to experience the local customs and culture. He will leave in a few days to go to other places."

As he finished speaking, the task that had been delayed from appearing in the black notebook finally materialized: [Please resolve the problem of local thugs bullying the villagers in Renjia Town; please resolve the problem of evil spirits harming the people of Renjia Town.]

Goodness, these are two tasks.

Li Xuan was somewhat concerned about whether he could receive the rewards for the two tasks...

He looked up at Ren Fa again and immediately noticed that the other person's avatar had the words "Ren Fa" appear on it, and it was even in red.

Ren Fa started as a gangster in his teens, doing countless things to accumulate his current fortune. Although he "inherited a small amount of ancestral property after returning home," in this chaotic era, making money is a skill, but keeping it is an even greater skill.

He keenly noticed a strange change in the young man's eyes. Strange?
illusion?

He sensed that the young man's aura had suddenly become sharp, as if a smooth, warm piece of jade had been transformed into a sword slowly being drawn from its sheath...

Ren Fa laughed and said, "In that case, I won't disturb your meal any longer, young man. Our Western restaurant's head chef is a genuine foreigner from San Francisco, USA, and his skills are authentic."

Ren Tingting wanted to say something more.

Ren Fa took Ren Tingting away with the simple phrase "Mind your manners".

Li Xuan put down his knife and fork, picked up the pork chop with his chopsticks and ate it directly. He finished all the dishes in no time, got up and left the Western restaurant...

About half an hour later, several burly men came up the stairs with heavy steps. They were wearing brown vests, had thick arms, fleshy faces, and fierce eyes. They didn't look like people to be trifled with.

They looked around from upstairs, and then flew into a rage, shouting, "Hey buddy, get over here!"

The waiter scurried over, and upon seeing the faces of these men, he immediately knew who had sent them. He hurriedly greeted them with a smile, "May I ask what orders the master has for you gentlemen?"

The burly man leading the group glanced at him and said, "Where's that pretty boy who was eating here just now?"

The waiter's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the generous gentleman had offended Master Ren?

He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I wonder which pretty boy it is."

The burly man slapped the waiter across the face and roared, "Go to hell! How many people can eat in this lousy place? If you keep pretending to be stupid, I'll tie you up and hang you on a tree on the mountaintop all night. Let's see how much meat you'll have left after the wild beasts have stripped you bare the next day!"

The man was slapped until he was dizzy.

He dared not speak out, clutching his rapidly swollen cheek, and said, "There was a young man in a shirt. When he was eating, the owner came by, and the two chatted for a while. As soon as the owner left, he left. He may have already left the village."

The burly man kicked the waiter in the chest and cursed, "You're wasting time! If the master didn't need you to do menial work, I would have taught you a lesson!"

The man lay on the ground, repeatedly agreeing, his face down, tears streaming from his eyes and snot from his nose, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

After the strong man left.

The waiter wiped his snot and tears with a towel, hurriedly went out for a moment, and then came back looking normal. He walked towards the still-shaken manager behind the counter and said, "The boss is furious. Our Western restaurant is going to be held accountable. Luckily I ran fast enough and didn't get beaten up again. You guys quickly put some padding under your clothes so you don't break any bones later..."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper and the other employees hurriedly ran to the back and stuffed some linen into their abdomens and backs.

Seeing that there was a temporary vacancy at the counter, the waiter went over, opened the drawer, and saw two silver bars wrapped in red paper. He picked them up and put them in his chest, carefully grabbed a handful of scattered silver coins, pushed the drawer back, and then casually went downstairs and left the restaurant.

He was originally a resident of Renjia Town and had been working for Master Ren since he was a child. He thought he could make something of himself, but he was bullied every day!
Who knew that Mr. Ren, who had just returned from the provincial capital, was even more despicable than those wealthy gentlemen? In less than half a month since the Western restaurant opened, he had deducted the staff's wages three times, even blaming them for the poor business! Not only did he demand compensation for the restaurant's operating losses, but he also wanted to deduct money from their food and equipment expenses…

Most importantly, before Ren Tingting returned, a worker tried to go to the provincial capital to report to the authorities, but was intercepted and beaten to death on the road by Ren's men.

The shop assistant was carrying two silver dollars and some loose change. He had seen Master Ren chatting with that "outsider" earlier.

The aloof and powerful Master Ren actually felt a slight sense of apprehension towards "outsiders"!
The man thought this was an opportunity because, apart from the military officials, no one could make these big shots change.

He thought the "outsider" might be someone with connections, kind and generous, and might even be able to suppress these rich and heartless guys who were causing trouble in the village...

Some of these silver dollars were given to the family of the deceased worker, and the rest were given to the strangers as a sign of sincerity.
