How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 12 Family Banquet
Restaurant, lobby.

Butler Li stared blankly at the empty surroundings, looking at the plate in front of him that was licked cleaner than his face, and the scene from just now replayed in his mind.

These guys were like starving ghosts reincarnated, wolfing down their food as if they hadn't eaten in eight hundred years.

"Master Li, this is the bill, it's sixty taels in total," the shopkeeper said respectfully from the side.

The housekeeper, Li, who had just come to her senses, exclaimed "Ah!"

"So expensive?"

Did they eat gold?
The three tables of people ate sixty taels of silver.

"Master Li, these dishes are all delicacies from land and sea, especially these wines, which are thirty years old."

"Bring me the abacus."

Soon, as the shopkeeper brought over the abacus, Steward Li checked the bill. His fingers moved nimbly, unleashing a flurry of movements, and he stared wide-eyed at the bill.

Sixty-three taels.

The shopkeeper even rounded down the price for him.

You're sensible, but you don't know much.

Steward Li took a deep breath and took out two silver ingots, one large ingot weighing fifty taels and the other a small ingot weighing ten taels.

Was this meal worth it?

He felt it was worth it, at least he got in touch with Lin Fan, but if you say it wasn't worth it, it seems so too. They just ate the whole time, and no one talked to each other. Even he, because he hadn't eaten so well in a long time, kept eating.

"Thank you, Master Li, thank you, Master Li," the manager said gratefully.

"Ah."

Butler Li remained seated, his mind preoccupied with the matter of three tables of food costing sixty taels of silver.

An ordinary person's monthly income is at least two or three hundred coins, and at most five or six hundred coins. Nowadays, five coins can buy a pound of pork. It is indeed a feast of fish and meat, but it shouldn't be this expensive.

……

Street.

"Are you all full?"

Asking knowingly.

Lin Fan looked at his group of followers, each of them with greasy mouths, rubbing their stomachs, and looking completely satisfied. Clearly, the meal they had just eaten had driven them completely wild.

The younger brothers gathered around.

One of the younger brothers said with a sob in his voice, "Brother, this food is too good! I've never eaten anything so good in my life."

What are you carrying in your arms?

"I secretly hid the chicken leg; I wanted to take it back for my child to try."

Lin Fan nodded. He had also been a low-level henchman and knew how tough it was at the bottom. If you fought and performed well, you could get extra rewards, but if you didn't perform well, you would only get two hundred coins a month.

Life is manageable, but living comfortably is difficult.

"When I have time, I will suggest to the gang leader that we give our brothers a raise. Putting aside everything else, we must ensure that our brothers can eat meat every day."

As soon as these words came out.

The underlings' eyes lit up, and they excitedly cheered, "Long live Brother Lin!"

Lin Fan smiled, returned to the warehouse, and continued his cultivation. As for Butler Li's situation, he didn't care. He had figured out the other party's purpose.

Pretty good.

Once you've experienced it once, you'll likely experience it again. It's not easy to encounter such a situation, so cherish it.

Before he transmigrated, he had read many stories about green tea girls seducing rich guys. The key was to maintain distance while simultaneously closing it from time to time. Generally, as long as you paid attention and didn't make any mistakes, these rich guys could make even more money than Old Deng.

As evening fell, the setting sun cast its glow. After tidying up, Lin Fan left the warehouse. He didn't head home, but instead went to a family banquet. Someone had come to inform him that the head of the hall had invited him to dinner at his home.

He knew that his excellence had long been recognized by the hall master.

The matter of Cuijing Tower, in particular, made the hall master regard him as his most trusted confidant. However, he had to bring some gifts before going there, as it would be impolite to go empty-handed.

Of course, there's no need to buy expensive ones. What could the head of the household possibly lack?
Just a token gesture is fine.

Wang family.

inside the hall.

Wang Changhai sat there drinking tea, while his wife busied herself cooking, serving plate after plate of delicious dishes.

The once empty table is now filled with mouthwatering food.

"Madam, isn't that enough? Let the staff handle it," Wang Changhai said.

The wife rolled her eyes at her husband. "What do you mean by 'almost'? It's their first time visiting, so we have to be perfectly prepared. And what are you sitting there for? It's almost time. Hurry up and go wait at the door to see if they've arrived yet."

"I am the head of the hall." Wang Changhai was dissatisfied and tried his best to express his identity, telling his wife that the man was his confidant. What kind of hall head would squat at the door to guard his confidant?

"Hall Master? Ha, don't make me laugh. When you were completely bewitched by that little vixen, did you forget that you were the Hall Master? You don't know your own worth. You're always looking for something better than what you have. With your looks, what would anyone want from you?"

The lady's gaze turned aggressively toward Wang Changhai's crotch.

The meaning is clear.

He surrendered and disarmed in no time, unable to even satisfy his family, yet he went out to seduce those sluts and whores, utterly ignorant of his own limitations.

Wang Changhai blushed. "Madam, please don't say that. When they arrive, you must give them some face. I am still the head of the hall after all."

The woman in front of him had been with him since she was fifteen. Back then, he was just a lowly henchman in the Loyalty Hall, and they lived a hard life. Later, their lives gradually improved, and the two had a child.

"Wow, it smells so good, Mom! The food is so delicious today."

Two children, carrying their schoolbags, ran in happily. Seeing the table full of delicious food, they leaned over the table, took a deep breath, and tried to grab some to eat, but the lady slapped their little hands away.

"We have guests coming today, so you all need to get back to your homework."

"Oh."

The two children, heads drooping and looking pitiful, kept turning back to gaze longingly at the delicious food on the table before leaving the hall with their schoolbags slung over their shoulders.

Seeing her husband still sitting there, the wife immediately stepped forward, grabbed his ear, and said, "Do you think I'm ignoring you? I told you to go and wait, what are you standing there for? Go!"

"Hey, hey, I'm going, I'm going."

Wang Changhai stood up, feeling utterly helpless. This woman had him completely under her thumb. In any other family, what woman would dare to treat her man like this?

Where are the rules? Where is the family status?

at this time.

Lin Fan arrived at the area around the hall master's house and looked around at the surrounding buildings. It was quite nice, and it was clear that those who could live here were the upper class of Yong'an City.

Either rich or noble.

Given that the head of the hall has been with the Loyalty Hall for so many years and also manages the Jili Wharf, it's not surprising that he has the financial means to buy this mansion.

Just as he was walking toward the door, he saw the hall master standing there, looking around.

Soon, Wang Changhai spotted Lin Fan carrying his things and greeted him with a smile.

"I told you to come, so why did you bring anything?"

"Master, it's my first time visiting, so I can't come empty-handed. I didn't know what to buy, so I bought some rouge for my sister-in-law and some snacks that the children like."

"Alright, your sister-in-law is getting impatient."
