Chapter 59 - Xue Tong The Clown
Xue Tong cleared his thoughts and put on the noblest and coolest look he could show. He then took a glance at Hestia’s smile and thought that she was impressed by his charms.
He smiled at his thoughts and said in a confident manner. "If Young Lady Hestia will drink with me, then I’ll buy everything sold in this store."
The smile on Hestia’s peerless face turned stiff and it looked as if she was stifling a chuckle as she covered her mouth with her dainty hands.
The customers who heard Xue Tong’s confident words laughed loudly and looked at him as if they were looking at a clown.
"Young man, before you say those words, you might want to take a look at the prices first." Boss Scar who was enjoying wine with his brothers said before they guffawed.
Xue Tong frowned at the mocking stares aimed at him. It was the first time he felt this humiliated especially in front of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
’Just what did I say wrong?’ Xue Tong thought to himself as he took a look at the blackboard that everyone was pointing at.
When his vision hovered on the list of prices, his eyes widened, clearly dumbstruck at what he saw.
"What the fuck?!" He inadvertently spoke his inner thoughts out loud which made everyone inside the store laugh even loudlier.
"Hahaha! Is this hic- kid here just to make hic- a fool out of himself? Who doesn’t hic- know the prices of Wine Master Jiu’s wines hic-?" Liu Xiufeng slurred but everyone could feel his disdain towards Xue Tong.
Xue Tong glared at Liu Xiufeng but he did not dare utter a rebuttal. He can sense that the latter was already at the mid-stage of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader realm. Furthermore, Boss Scar who was sitting beside Liu Xiufeng was already at the peak of the 5th-rank Spirit realm. Not to mention all the other mercenaries around. With his own initial-stage 3rd-rank Crusader strength, he would only become their punching bag.
"Commoner, how dare you talk like that to the young master?! Do you not know who he is?!" One of Xue Tong’s guards stepped forward and glared at Liu Xiufeng without fear. He wasn’t afraid of Liu Xiufeng at all especially with the Xue Family backing them.
Boss Scar and the others glanced at the guard before they looked at Xue Tong with obvious scorn. They knew that this young master was someone who bullies the weak but was timid in front of those with power.
Liu Xiufeng smirked derisively and shook his head, no longer paying attention to Xue Tong and his guards.
In actual fact, Boss Scar and the others have already seen the Xue Family’s insignia on Xue Tong’s clothes. Just that they were already under the effects of alcohol. Besides, they knew that nothing would happen to them as long as they were inside Wine Master Jiu’s wine store.
The guard who was ignored by everyone was incensed. He intentionally released a stream of his true essence in a bid to scare the other party.
His peak 4th-rank Knight Crusader aura was felt by everyone inside, but they remained seated in their spots and just glanced at him as if they were waiting for a show to happen.
Xue Tong glanced approvingly at his subordinate. ’I like this guy. I’ll give him a reward later.’ He thought.
As the guard was about to attack Liu Xiufeng, the former suddenly felt a suffocating aura that descended upon him.
"Arghh! Who-Who are yo-you?"
The guard felt his knees growing weak and he could not help but kneel on the wooden floor while panting heavily.
Xue Tong and his three other guards were stunned senseless at the scene. And before they could even gather their thoughts, they saw that the kneeling guard was forcibly thrown outside the store by an invisible force. He didn’t even have the strength to resist it!
At this moment, Xue Tong was already horrified. Someone who could throw away an expert at the peak of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader was never ordinary!
’Are there experts inside this store? Or is it that wine master himself?’ Xue Tong was feeling anxious as he looked around the store in search of the ’expert’, but what he saw was everyone’s numbed expression as if they were already used to this kind of scene.
"No violence is allowed inside the store. Those who break the rules will be kicked out without exception." A cold and indifferent voice of a woman reverberated inside the wine store like a divine decree.
Xue Tong glanced at the direction where the voice came from. There, he saw a blonde beauty with an explosive figure. He was stunned after seeing Theia’s shapely body, but he did not dare ogle too much after witnessing the event that had just transpired.
"This... This... What kind of place did I go into?" Xue Tong muttered to himself with a distressed look on his usually arrogant-looking face.
"Dear guest, are you still going to order?" Hestia said with the same unchanging smile.
Xue Tong’s mood became much better after seeing her smile. He then forced out a smile and took a glance at the list of prices written on the blackboard with a bleeding heart.
"Haha, of course! Of course! Give us four bottles of Ables Blanc." Xue Tong said with a smiling expression that was on the verge of crying. It was such an ugly sight to behold!
Hestia smiled radiantly as she received the order. She then gracefully turned around and walked towards the wine storage while smiling at the customers along the way.
Theia who was standing near the entrance shook her head at the sight.
