375 GOONY (1/2)
”You are not people from this village, correct?” A man who seemed to be the leader of the three spoke up defiantly.
He was stood three tables away from their table and with sword on his waist, he looked Xiao Tianyao condescendingly.
Senja sighed, the mood to discussing about the matter with another Senja evaporated. She had read many scenes about this with the same line of question. So, she didn't need to guess what will happen next.
”Because both of you enter our village without permission, you need to pay tribute to us.”
Senja stole a glance from the edge of her straw hat while enjoying her meal. The three men were obviously goons of the village. Based on what they wear that seemed like a gunny sack rather than clothes, they were not the vicious one of course.
**Nothing important about their threat then…** Senja thought and glanced over at Xiao Tianyao who was as calm as ever, shrugging her shoulder she continued to eat.
”You need to pay us or…” The man showed off his sword that was hanging on his hips threateningly. Yet, before he could finish his word Xiao Tianyao fished out something from his robe and threw it to them.
The small object landed on the man feet graciously, but Xiao Tianyao made it looked like a mocking gesture for him.
”Did you just give them money?” Senja asked him sullenly. She looked at the pocket money that Xiao Tianyao gave to them and from the size, it was quite a lot. ”That is a lot you know?” She hissed.
Well, she was a thief herself, it was irony if she let some poor goons were robbing their money right before her eyes.
Her conscience couldn't afford that…
”Let it be, I am too tired to fight them…” Xiao Tianyao said as he lazily picked up his bowl again.
”You are too generous.” She quipped.
”Thank you.”
The goony who talked earlier didn't appreciate Xiao Tianyao's generosity. Moreover none of them looked intimidated by him.
It was humiliation!
He kicked the pocket money to the two men behind him as he marched toward Senja and Xiao Tianyao's table, yet he stopped himself five meters away upon receiving Xiao Tianyao menacing glared.
He didn't know why, but something on this man was terrified him. Unfortunately, his haughtiness got the best of him. Stupidly he ignored his instinct.
”Do you think that messy money is enough!?” He shouted at Senja and Xiao Tianyao, however he didn't dare to take another step closer.
Senja leered at him, ”Oh, please. How can he live without a brain?”
