Phi-Fic Chapter 366: Call the Manager Out
Chapter 366: Call the Manager Out
Time passed slowly.
But there was no movement outside. Just when Yun Chen thought that Manager Li had run away with his wife and children, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"You, go in first."
A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and before the voice fell, a young man was pushed in from the door.
The young man was covered in blood and wounds. He staggered and fell on the bluestone slabs, letting out a muffled groan. When he looked up, his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the door, full of hatred.
Immediately afterwards, three monks in black filed in. The leader was short and stocky, with a scar on his face running from his brow to his chin. On the hilt of the long sword at his waist was embedded a small piece of snake-shaped jade ornament with a pattern similar to the one on the Shadow Snake Group's token.
He glanced at the empty yard and then at the boy lying on the ground.
"Where are you? Where did you go? Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
The scarred man raised his foot and kicked the boy on the shoulder. The boy curled up in pain but gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.
Yun Chen frowned and looked at the young man, his heart suddenly lifted up and a surge of anger spread in his chest.
This young man was none other than one of Li Kun's children who had just been rescued.
He was arrested. Did something happen to Li Kun?
However, he had no time to think about it now.
Because while he was thinking, the scarred man kicked him a few more times until the boy spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and then he stopped.
"Tell me! Where are the people who saved you?" He slammed his fist on the table and yelled.
This time, the boy still didn't say a word.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you just like I killed your parents."
The scarred man's eyes were as sinister as a poisoned steel knife, with a cruel grin on the corner of his mouth. He squatted down, grabbed the boy's hair, and pressed his face hard on the cold bluestone slab.
"You killed my father. I hate you. Big brother, run away... Remember to avenge me and my father."
The boy's face was covered in blood, but his eyes showed an unyielding stubbornness.
He shouted into the void. Although he was not sure whether Yun Chen could hear him, the big brother was so powerful that he would definitely avenge them if he heard him.
Yun Chen couldn't help but feel moved, and he couldn't hold back any longer and was about to rush out.
But at this moment, the man with the scar suddenly loosened his hand and pulled out a short blade from his waist that looked like a Tang sword but was even more ferocious. The blade flashed a cold light in the sunlight.
Then he stabbed the boy in the waist and abdomen without hesitation.
"stop!"
A thunderous roar exploded, and Yun Chen rushed out from behind the door like an arrow. The purple lightning condensed in his palm turned into a sharp whip, and lashed it fiercely on the wrist of the scarred man holding the blade.
With a "clang", the short blade flew out of his hand, the scarred man screamed in pain, and his wrist was instantly charred.
Yun Chen spun around and stood in front of the young man. His spiritual power exploded, knocking the other two black-robed monks several meters away. They fell to the ground with blood spurting from their mouths.
He leaned over and held the dying boy in his arms. Seeing that the wound on his waist and abdomen was still bleeding, he quickly took out a healing pill from his storage bag, crushed it and applied it on the wound, then tore off his clothes and wrapped it tightly.
"Big brother……"
The young man opened his eyes weakly, his bloodstained hands grasping Yun Chen's sleeves. His voice was as thin as a mosquito's: "My parents... and my little sister are dead. They were killed by these people... Can you... can you avenge them?"
Yun Chen's heart tightened, and he suppressed his surging anger, speaking in a very gentle voice: "Okay, don't worry... I will definitely avenge them."
The child looks only about eleven or twelve years old.
These beasts actually treated a child so harshly.
The young man smiled and nodded, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
"I knew it... my dad was wrong. Big Brother must be a good person. He will definitely avenge us..."
"What did your father say?"
Yun Chen stabilized his injuries and asked while diverting his attention.
The scars all over his body were unbearable for even an adult, not to mention a child.
"My dad said...my dad said..."
"Baga! You're the one who ruined our good deeds and saved them?"
Before he could finish his words, the scarred man next to him recovered and interrupted the boy.
He saw that Yun Chen's attention was all on the young man, and he instantly became furious.
How dare this Chinese guy ignore him?
He suddenly grabbed the short blade on the ground and stabbed it hard at Yun Chen's back.
"Your words make me sick."
Yun Chen's eyes flashed, and without even looking at him, he casually shot out a bolt of lightning.
"Just get struck to death by lightning, Thunder Palm!"
The purple lightning flashed like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly piercing through the scarred man's chest.
"what--!"
The scarred man let out a shrill scream, and his body was instantly wrapped in lightning. After a moment, he turned into a pile of charred ashes.
The other two black-robed monks who were not dead yet were so frightened when they saw this that they turned around and tried to escape, but were pierced through the back by two streams of spiritual power that Yun Chen casually shot out.
After taking care of the three people, Yun Chen immediately picked up the young man and rushed out of the house.
He looked down at the increasingly weak young man in his arms, his eyes determined: "Hold on, I'll take you to heal your wounds. I will avenge you!"
The young man leaned in Yun Chen's arms, his lips slightly raised, a relieved smile appeared on his blood-stained face, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Panlei City, Tianji Pavilion branch.
Yun Chen walked in from outside holding the young man.
"Call out the steward."
As soon as he entered, Yun Chen shouted in the hall without any hesitation.
In an instant, the eyes of the entire hall were focused on Yun Chen.
Many monks were gathering around the counter to gather information. When they saw him covered in blood and holding a dying young man, they all moved away, expressions of shock on their faces.
The guy behind the counter couldn't help but frown when he saw Yun Chen's expression.
"How dare you! What kind of place is this? Who told you to yell?"
"Call out the manager." Yun Chen was too lazy to argue with the waiter, so he repeated it in a deep voice.
The guy got furious when he saw that he ignored him.
"Didn't you hear me? Who told you to yell? Get out! Do you think you can just see our manager whenever you want? Don't you even know where this is before you start causing trouble?"
Behind the Tianji Pavilion is the Shenlei Palace, one of the three major Taoist sects in the Eastern Continent.
Not to mention someone like Yun Chen who shouts and yells without any rules. Even the leaders of some sects have to behave properly and politely when they come here.
Seeing that he was still talking nonsense, Yun Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just threw his disciple token over and said in a deep voice again, "Call the manager out."
The black token engraved with thunder patterns fell on the counter with a "pa". The spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the token, which were unique to the disciples directly taught by the Divine Thunder Palace, instantly made the entire hall quiet.
The guy reached out and picked up the token. After seeing the patterns and marks on it, his face turned pale and his previous arrogance disappeared without a trace.
He held the token in both hands and handed it back tremblingly, his forehead covered in cold sweat. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Master! I didn't recognize you. I'll go and ask for help right away!"
After saying that, he almost crawled into the inner hall.
