Chapter 449 - Exposed (1/2)

Su Li was utterly shocked. She looked at Xiao Luo with her eyes wide opened and she didn’t blink at all. She thought this guy’s learning ability was through the roof. Just twenty minutes ago, he was merely a bumbling novice at skating, but now he’s suddenly even performing figure-skating. What else could she say—he was basically a demon!

“Are you always able to learn everything so quickly?” she asked.

Xiao Luo shook his head. “No, not really,” he replied.

“But all it took for you was ten minutes, and you’re already a very accomplished figure-skater.”

Su Li couldn’t hide her shock. Just thinking of the fact that she had taken a good five years to master all of her techniques got her exasperated, so much so that her face start to turn red and hot. All this guy took was ten minutes, and he could already match all the hard work that she had put in over the five years.

“I suppose, maybe, I have some kind of talent in this area.”

Xiao Luo offered an explanation and laughed bashfully. It was all thanks to his “The physique of the King of Mercenaries” ability and the constant conditioning of his mind and body. These undoubtedly provided him with half the skills required to skate well, as it was an activity that required balance and co-ordination of the different parts of his body.

Su Li was dumbfounded, and she had to admit that there was no other explanation for it.

Suddenly, a staff member of the roller-skating rink could be seen running toward the rink owner, who had been hiding at a corner, admiring the figure-skating. “Boss, things are not looking good. Some of the customers that we tricked have returned. Now they’re outside, and they’re shouting and threatening to destroy our skating rink. They have a whole bunch of people out there, and we’re no match for all of them,” the staffer cried.

“What did you say? They’re threatening to destroy our skating rink? Did they all eat bear’s heart and leopard’s gall for them to have the courage to do that?”

The rink owner became really angry when he heard this, pulled out the cigarette from his mouth, threw it onto the floor, and stepped on it. “Let’s go, we’ll go and meet them. Let’s see who these people are to have the guts to destroy your big brother’s rink. I’ll scr*w them up alive!”

He unbuttoned his collar, revealing a blue dragon tattoo that could be partly seen emblazoned on his chest. As he was a gang member in the past, he had a bit of a quick temper.

Su Li could sense that something was not right and told Xiao Luo about it.

Xiao Luo then rushed toward the boss and shouted, “Boss, we’re done with the rink, we’re leaving now.”

“Brother, don’t worry about it, you just enjoy yourselves. It has barely been half an hour. People like us who do businesses take our promises seriously. I can’t let you waste your money like that. I’ll just go shout at those noisy brats outside, and they’ll leave immediately. I promise they won’t annoy you and ruin the fun you’re having,” the rink owner responded, patting his chest as he stormed toward the front door.

This boss had morals, indeed!

Xiao Luo thought to himself, cocking an eyebrow as he glanced at the man walking off.

“Change your shoes, let’s leave this place,” Su Li said.

Xiao Luo nodded his head. Since he was here today to accompany Su Xiaobei and Su Li, he left all the decisions for Su Li.

Just as they were changing their shoes, one of the emergency exits of the roller-skating rink was barged open. Six or seven boys and girls started rushing in.

“There, you see! They were lying to us, what renovation are they doing here? There’s barely a few people in here!”

“Is the boss of this place a dimwit or what? We are trying to give him business and money, but he doesn’t even want it?”

“No, no, no, I think these people here must have booked the entire rink.”

These boys and girls barged in without any fear, and they were even were brazenly making comments loudly without much respect.

The moment he had a closer look at the group of boys and girls, the look on Xiao Luo’s face changed. He thought to himself how small the world indeed was, for these kids were no strangers to him. They were the schoolmates of Guan Yilin that he had seen earlier at the Three Sauce Simmer Pot restaurant. It was already this late, and yet these kids were still hanging out in the mall. He sighed, thinking just how much they were really just like him back in the days.

“Hey, isn’t that Senior Xiao Luo?”

One of the girls noticed Xiao Luo and shouted with surprise.

Her shout drew everyone’s attention to Xiao Luo. Guan Yilin, who was right in front of the group, shouted, “Yes, it is Senior Xiao Luo!”

Guan Yilin was a self-professed follower of Xiao Luo, and if she said it was Xiao Luo, then it had to be him. She would never mistake Xiao Luo for someone else. Instantly, everyone rushed toward Xiao Luo without any hesitation.

“Senior Xiao Luo, it is you indeed, I’m so happy, I’d never imagined that I would be able to meet you here!”
