Chapter 683 - Not a Normal Adversary (2/2)

“Shinozaki? A foreigner?” Before Chen Ge could say anything, the man called Shinozaki started to get into a fight while speaking fluent Chinese. Handing the ticket-selling job over to Uncle Xu, Chen Ge quickly ran over to break up the fight. “Please stop fighting. Who cut in the line earlier?”

Seeing the operator walk over, both parties stopped arguing.

“It was him! He was the line-cutter. I’m telling you, if we’re not in a lawful society, I would have punched him in the face already, such lawlessness.” The middle-aged man was quite a firecracker.

“Understood.” Chen Ge turned to the line-cutter. He stood next to the man with the large cap. Obviously, they were partners. “If you wish to visit my Haunted House, I will need all of you to get to the back of the line and follow the rules accordingly.”

Chen Ge left no room for negotiation. The man was obviously not satisfied with this arrangement, but with the persuasion from his friends, he obediently moved to the back of the line.

“Okay, everything’s fine now.” Chen Ge stayed at the back of the line. For some reason, the middle-aged man felt like he had been ignored and felt a certain way about it. He yelled at Chen Ge, “There’s such a long line on such a hot day. Don’t you have a VIP lane or something? I’ll pay extra!”

“I’m sorry, but I treat all my visitors the same.”

“Great! A principled man! Then I shall leave! Everyone’s working against me!” For a reason that eluded Chen Ge, the man was angered and turned to leave.

“Wait a minute, Mr. Shinozaki! This haunted House is really unique! We’re already here, so we should at least go in for a visit!” The young female assistant tried to stop the man, and then she ran to beg Chen Ge. “Boss, can you make an exception for us?”

The woman looked at Chen Ge with her pleading eyes. “Mr. Shinozaki is a comic artist. He has been lacking inspiration for the past few months, and his temper has worsened because of that. He isn’t normally like this.”

“A comic artist? Is he famous? How come I haven’t heard of his name before?” Chen Ge was instantly reminded of Yan Danian. Perhaps he could use this chance to fulfil Yan Danian’s wishes.

The assistant’s face flushed. “Mr. Shinozaki bases himself overseas, and he is famed in the industry, but over the past few years, he has started to change his style! In any case, he’s a very powerful man!”

Chen Ge nodded and purposely said in a raised voice, “If you don’t want to line up, there’s only one choice. I just opened a new scenario, and those who wish to visit it can skip the line and join me now.”

“A new scenario?” The woman did not dare to make the decision, so she turned to look at the man.

“I just praised you for your principles earlier, but you changed your mind once you heard my name. Fine, I’ll give you a chance to impress me today.” The middle-aged walked over leisurely. “The new scenario it is!”

Seeing the middle-aged man jumping the queue, a man stood out from the back of the line. “I wish to visit this new scenario as well.”

The man was wearing a coat. The temperature was high, and there was no air-conditioning. His head was pouring with sweat like he was burning. Hearing his voice, the other people in his group wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

“Okay, come in with me then. Is there anyone else?” Chen Ge accepted his volunteer quickly and took his money, so they had no chance to regret his decision.

The others in the group slowly shuffled out. Chen Ge had Uncle Xu give them the tickets while he used his phone to search for Shinozaki’s info online.

The man was not a foreigner—he merely had a foreign-sounding name. However, it was true that he was based overseas. His fans called him the Walking Mosaic 1 and the Father of Saint Light 1.

Footnotes:

This is referring to how mosaic is often used to censor sensitive parts in erotic comics.

Holy Light or Saint Light is more common in erotic animations. When an animated character undresses or is naked, instead of mosaic, light or smoke is used to block key parts. Therefore, animation fans call it the Saint Light.
