"Please, give us justice! I believe Shrek Academy has stood on the continent for ten thousand years, and there must be righteous people within it. It's impossible that everyone is colluding with these unscrupulous merchants, right?!"
Upon hearing this, Beibei was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
He had always believed that Shrek City was the most peaceful and just place on the continent, a holy land that all Soul Masters longed for.
Little did they expect that such an outrageous and dark scheme was lurking right under Shrek Academy's nose!
Looking at Beibei's deeply shocked and shattered worldview, I felt a chill run down my spine.
Standing next to Wang Dong'er, Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips and spoke with an undisguised teasing tone.
"Oh, judging from what you just said, could it be that these shops in Shrek City are using some kind of 'dual pricing' system?"
Xu Xiaoyan crossed her arms and sneered.
"When we sell to other Soul Masters and commoners from outside, there's a hidden clause when we settle the bill: a sky-high price of 500,000 gold soul coins! But when we sell to you people from this pirated Shrek Academy, it's just the cost price of 50 gold soul coins?"
Xu Xiaoyan's words were like a needle, piercing the pride of the old Shrek Academy.
However, upon hearing these words, Beibei suddenly raised his head, his attention instantly shifting from the IOU, his brain racing.
He quickly caught a key word in Xu Xiaoyan's words!
A pirated Shrek Academy!
Beibei's pupils contracted slightly.
He had never heard of Shrek Academy being labeled as a pirated institution in his entire life, except for that Shrek Academy that floated thousands of meters in the air!
Beibei's gaze swept over the well-tailored uniforms worn by Wang Dong'er and the other three, and a wave of shock washed over her.
Could it be... that these four little girls in front of me also come from Shrek Academy in the sky?!
Just as Beibei was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
At this moment, Wang Dong'er stepped forward and spoke to Xing Sui.
"We also come from Shrek Academy, but... our academy would never do such dirty things. Now that we've encountered something that damages Shrek Academy's reputation, even though it's not our academy that's being damaged, we still share the same name, and we won't allow you to continue your wrongdoing!"
Upon hearing Wang Dong'er's resounding words, Bei Bei was stunned again, standing there with her mind completely blank.
Reversing the Heavenly Gang!
Beibei stared at Wang Dong'er in astonishment.
This is Shrek City on Earth! It's the headquarters of Shrek Academy, which has existed for tens of thousands of years!
Now, these little girls have not only brazenly arrived at Shrek City, but they've even dared to point their fingers at him, the Shrek Academy representative, and accuse him of being the pirates?!
Coming to Shrek City to claim their college is a rip-off—is this some kind of blatant attack on their doorstep?!
Chapter 202 Are there really no normal people in Shrek Academy?
Although Wang Dong'er and the others' words were quite harsh, and their posture made it seem like they were being directly attacked and humiliated.
But Beibei didn't get angry.
He knew perfectly well that no matter how harsh the other party's words were, in the end, it was Shrek City on their side that was in the wrong first! And their wrong was outrageous!
Faced with overwhelming evidence and the unwavering support of the surrounding community, Wei Wei's explanations proved utterly ineffective.
Without any hesitation, Bei Bei stepped forward and bowed deeply to Wang Dong'er, Xi'er, and the other three, as well as the other diners who had been cheated.
"Ladies, and everyone here."
Beibei raised her head again and apologized earnestly.
"This matter is indeed due to our Shrek Academy's inadequate supervision! It is Shrek City's dereliction of duty that has caused you all to suffer injustice!"
"I, Beibei, hereby assure everyone that I will thoroughly investigate the whole story and get to the bottom of this matter! I will definitely give you, and everyone in Shrek City, a satisfactory explanation!"
Beibei's words were resolute and unequivocal, and her words were filled with an intention to find Guozuo and not shirk any responsibility whatsoever.
Seeing Beibei's humble attitude, the initially indignant crowd gradually softened.
After all, in Shrek City, Bebe has always had a good reputation, and many people know this gentle and refined twin star from the outer court.
"With Lady Beibei's words, we can rest assured!"
After calming down the surrounding group of brothers...
Beibei turned around, and her originally gentle gaze instantly turned extremely fierce, fixing on the trembling waiter.
Looking at the waiter, Beibei already had a general idea in her mind.
They were able to secretly set such outrageous "guide prices" in various high-end hotels in Shrek City, and even use methods to forcibly detain people in the city to work and pay off their debts.
This is definitely not something an ordinary hotel owner could do!
Behind this, there must be Shrek Academy executives pushing things along, or even orchestrating it entirely!
Looking at the current leadership of Shrek Academy, who could possibly pull off something like this?
Beibei's hands were clenched into fists inside her sleeves.
His great-grandfather, Mu En, has shown no signs of waking up since he fell into a coma several months ago.
Now, the only person who truly controls the overall situation and issues orders at Shrek Academy is Xuanzi!
If you say that this crazy, unscrupulous, and unethical Yin-Yang pricing strategy wasn't devised by Xuanzi, Beibei would never believe it!
Besides Elder Xuan, who else could come up with such a terrible idea that not only offends people but also utterly humiliates Shrek Academy's hard-earned reputation?!
At this moment, Beibei felt utterly helpless, and even a little desperate.
He never imagined that Xuanzi, as an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, would do such a short-sighted thing after Xuanzu fell into a coma!
Creating such a yin-yang price not only drains the blood and sweat of outside soul masters, but also destroys the reputation that Shrek City depends on for survival!
No, that's not right. Beibei suddenly remembered that the soul beast meat was prepared before her ancestor Mu En fell into a coma... but Mu En probably didn't know about it at the time.
Beibei had a strong premonition that if her ancestor did not wake up soon, then Shrek Academy's reputation and honor over the past ten thousand years would be completely ruined by Xuanzi!
"Now that things are clear, your hotel must provide a compensation plan that satisfies everyone!"
The waiter's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, wailing in despair.
"I...I'm innocent! I'm just an employee, I'm not the owner of this restaurant, and I didn't order this exorbitant menu. I have no say in it!"
"Can't make the decision?"
Beibei's face darkened.
"Then go and call out the person who truly holds power here!"
Upon hearing Beibei's words, the waiter felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He scrambled to his feet, nodding repeatedly, and ran towards the back of the hotel to fetch help.
After the waiter left.
Beibei turned around and faced Xier and Wang Donger again, and sighed deeply.
"Ladies, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh. Please wait a moment, I will make sure that the store provides reasonable compensation."
As he spoke, the storage soul tool on Beibei's wrist flashed, and a heavy money bag appeared directly in his hand.
Beibei handed the money bag to Wang Dong'er and the others with both hands, her attitude extremely humble.
"Here are 20,000 gold soul coins. This is a small token of my apology to the ladies on behalf of Shrek City. Please accept it and calm your anger."
As for Wang Dong'er's jarring use of the phrase "pirated Shrek Academy,"...
Surprisingly, Beibei remained silent, neither mentioning it much nor refuting or scolding her.
Because Beibei knew better than anyone else that he had no confidence to refute this issue!
Bringing up such a question will not solve any problems; it will only bring shame upon yourself.
He couldn't beat the students from Shrek Academy in the air, like Ye Xinglan. Even after he returned and trained hard for several months, he still felt powerless against Ye Xinglan's sword intent.
As for the teachers, Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo, aren't they all top experts in their time? However, all three of them have been locked in solitary confinement, proving that even they are inferior to the Shrek Academy in the sky.
If you're not as skilled as others, you can only accept it.
Even if someone points a finger at him and accuses him of piracy, he can only swallow his anger.
The atmosphere in the hall quieted down for a moment, but then the owner of the shady shop showed up.
There was no way to let the fishy talk be tolerated and insulted.
Soon, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, the waiter from before hurriedly led a middle-aged boss with a big belly and an oily face out of the back room.
The boss rushed forward, bowing and scraping repeatedly as he apologized to Beibei and Wang Dong'er.
"Oh dear! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
The boss wiped away his cold sweat while forcing a smile and said.
"My subordinates are ignorant and offended several distinguished guests. It's my fault; I failed to discipline them properly!"
The boss patted his chest, putting on a generous and forthright appearance.
"To express our apologies, ladies and everyone in the dining room, everything on the menu today is on the house! Consider it a gesture of goodwill!"
Hearing what the boss said...
Seele tightened her grip on the sickle slightly. She looked coldly at the boss with a fake smile on his face and questioned him without any politeness.
"That's all?"
The boss's face instantly turned ugly when he was stared at by Seele's cold gaze.
He swallowed, turned to look at Beibei standing beside him with a livid face, and then, as if making a huge concession, took a deep breath.
"Alright! Since the ladies are still not satisfied!"
The boss gritted his teeth and said loudly.
"Then today's signature Soul Beast meat dish can be completely free! Is that alright now?!"
"..."
Hearing the boss's additional explanation...
Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing without any attempt to hide it.
"My goodness, I've really learned something new."
Xu Xiaoyan stood with her hands on her hips, her tone full of sarcasm and disbelief.
"Boss, so what you just said about 'all purchases being free' didn't actually include soul beast meat at all?"
Xu Xiaoyan looked at the boss as if he were an idiot.
“If we hadn’t asked that question earlier, after you ‘completely free,’ were you planning to continue selling that rotten meat to us for the sky-high price of 500,000 or even several million gold soul coins? Well, after all, soul beast meat isn’t on your menu, so it’s naturally unavoidable.”
These words were spoken.
Not only Wang Dong'er and her group were shocked by the boss's shamelessness.
Even Beibei, who was standing to the side, was stunned after hearing what the boss said.
Beibei stared wide-eyed at the fat boss in front of her, her face full of disbelief, feeling like her brain was about to burst.
Is this a normal person?
Is this how compensation is paid?!
When others come to cause trouble and demand justice, your compensation plan actually involves playing word games and setting traps!
Looking at the arrogant boss in front of her, Beibei simply suspected that he had been possessed by Xuanzi! His thought process was exactly the same as Xuanzi's, always rushing headlong down the road of offending people to death!
This isn't calming the anger; it's adding fuel to the fire!
This store had already suffered a huge loss today, being ripped off by the vulgar and tax-deducted practices.
Why don't you just admit defeat and pay up now? Instead, you're trying to nitpick and take advantage at this crucial moment, and you're saying such incredibly stupid things!
Sure enough, I heard the boss say that he was treating everyone like fools.
The crowd, which had just calmed down a little thanks to Beibei's soothing words, erupted again!
"Shameless! Utterly shameless!"
"At this point, still thinking about ripping people off! Smash this shady shop! They're practically asking for death!"
"Give us the money! Return all the money we paid!"
