Chapter 197 - 168.2 : Food Thief (2/2)

Arthur's behavior is drastically different from his real one is due to possessing a new body so it doesn't matter how he acts and also because he felt like teasing her and see what she'll do. He wasn't afraid of her and neither did he fear the consequences of his current attitude. Moreover, it was her fault for trying to steal his food.

Of course, he can give her all of the food and still order but she tried to rob before even asking for his permission so he changed his idea about giving her some.

First, he felt a bit of pity when she saw her longing look towards the food, but it didn't even a couple of minutes before he changed his opinion about her.

The calm Jian Si once again became infuriated but she didn't dare cause a big ruckus. She restrained herself and added

”I don't have enough money on me right now. Let me taste some and I'll owe a favor.”

The crowd was even more surprised as they heard this. They didn't think it'll turn out like this, they had long since heard of Jian Si's love for food but they didn't know it was to the degree that she'll accept such humiliation just to get a bite. She even told him that she'll owe him a favor.

One has to know that having a character like her owe you a favor is a big matter. Her future is limitless and she is bound to become a strong and influential figure in the near future so her owing a favor to him is like having a heaven's blessing. People like her would never go back on their words and their favors are worth gold!

With food in his mouth, the young man stared at her as if he was staring at a dumb person and said

”No money? Bah! What about that pretty sword you have there? It's surely worth enough for you to fill your stomach!”

Cold Sword did indeed have a sword on her back. She wrapped it in a black cloth and always wore it on her back to increase her intimacy with it. In fact, all sword practicers would usually do that as it sharpens their Sword Energy.

Jian Si felt conflicted and angry, she always was feared by most people and none dared to talk to her like that for fear of being killed, so when she was bombarded like this, she couldn't find the right words to retort, however, it was evident that with her arrogant nature, she can't swallow this humiliation.

”Hmpf! I'll owe you a favor so no need to be stingy with a bit of food!”

Just as she finished talking, her hands grabbed another piece of meat and threw it in her mouth without waiting for a reply from the young man.

Unfortunately, she couldn't even enjoy the meat as the food disappeared again and appeared in his hands again. He stared at her with disgust and spoke

”Bah! I don't need your favor. You can dream about eating my food!”

Having the piece of meat 'stolen' from her again enraged her even further as she stood up and glared at him angrily, she was ready to pounce on him in any given second.

The young man leisurely finished all the dishes under her piercing glare and licked his fingers whilst saying

”What? You're angry because you didn't get to taste it? So what! Bite me!”

With that, Arthur put a few Red Spirit Stones on the table and sat up to leave, totally ignoring Jian Si.

All the onlookers were astonished by his overbearing attitude. No one has ever dared to talk to Cold Sword like that and even if they did, they were already killed by her without mercy.

They all knew that this young man is dead for sure after what he said, there is no escaping this time even if he had ten lives!

Without minding the gazes of the crowd, Arthur left the restaurant and didn't bother with the girl who was still staring at him with eyes full of anger.

Cold Sword didn't linger there either, she soon left the restaurant right after he did. Once she left, the guests relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, although they weren't directly confronting her, they still felt fearful. Some even felt admiration for Arthur, who had enough courage to talk back to her like that.

******

To all of you who are thinking if he is always gonna behave like that, I'll say no, it'll only happen sometimes to lighten the mood or if he is acting purposely to fit his character or maybe to fool others. Don't forget, he's not using his real appearance so he can act however he sees fit.
