Sui Xiong’s action was close to provoking the guard and anger flashed in his guard’s eyes, but the guard immediately suppressed it.
If a “pet” was able to display such a magic transformation, its owner would not be a character that was easy to deal with. As a man serving in the country of casters, this handsome guard, of course, had certain judgments. Therefore, he immediately gave up his original intention. He didn’t show his rage and use power, but instead, he had a smiling face and hospitably invited them in. He even arranged an exclusive room for them and continuously, like flowing water, brought in wine and good food.
This transformation was indeed a switch from arrogance to deference. Behind this was the face of a snob.
But they must admit that there was a reason why the waiters in their hotel called the hotel “the best restaurant in the Green Tree city.” Although the portions of the dishes and wine were not much, their tastes were not like any other normal cuisine. They were exquisite and special. There were all kinds of styles here of a luxurious class— of course, the price was also luxuriously high.
Luckily, Sui Xiong’s group had a lot of money and didn’t care about the price.
“Ha, indeed Buddha needs golden clothes and the human needs clothes. Only a set of clothes immediately changed the way people treat us!” Sui Xiong ate happily, laughed loudly and said, “Still, having money is very good! Wearing glamorous clothes, eating delicate dishes, and we don’t need to worry about the expensive price, just eat as much as we want. Especially when I think of the look on that b*astard’s face at the time, the taste of this delicious food is enhanced somehow!”
Ray wasn’t as happy as Sui Xiong. He didn’t eat very much and he looked out the window sometimes as if looking for something unknown.
“Ray, today you don’t look so happy. Why aren’t you eating that much?” Sui Xiong pointed to Steele who was eating elegantly, yet very quickly, “You see, you even eat less than Steele…”
Ray sighed. “I am afraid that if I eat too much, it won’t be conducive for fighting later on!”
“What? Fight?”
While he hadn’t finished his words yet, a magic light suddenly rose and covered the entire room.
Following the magic light, the air inside the room seemed to condense as well. After that, the door of the gate opened and the handsome guard led four robust men with fierce-looking faces in.
“How dare you not ask what this place is for?! And you dare to come here to make trouble!” The guard snorted coldly, “Beat them! Hit the couple gentler. But first, cut off the legs of this heavy man and then let’s decide what to do with him!”
As the brawny men approached, Sui Xiong, who should have been tied up and unable to move, suddenly spoke,
“The cost of this magic formation is high. One activation might be equivalent to casting an advanced magic spell, right?”
Those men were astonished and stood there bewildered, not knowing what to do. For many years, they had met people who had come to make trouble more than once, but had never seen those who could talk while tied up.
The handsome guard reacted very quickly. He didn’t say anything further, but turned around and ran away. He only made it half a step before he was bound by a tentacle from behind and was pulled back.
In the meantime, the brawny men were also tied up by tentacles. They looked like a bunch of pigs waiting to be butchered, piled up on the ground.
Sui Xiong, who turned the five fingers on his left hand into five tentacles and tied up the guard and four brawny men, sneered and then snapped the fingers of his right. The magic formation covering the entire room suddenly let out a glass shattering sound and then disappeared without any trace.
“All right, let’s have a sincere conversation.” He waved his hand randomly, extended a tentacle and closed the door. Then, very quickly, he changed back to his jellyfish shape.
However, the one who appeared in front of the guard and bunch of hired thugs was not a small jellyfish used as a hat, but a huge jellyfish that could swallow a person alive!
“Your restaurant really meets my standards!” Sui Xiong said, “The wine and foods are delicious and I am very satisfied. The magic formation is not bad and I am very satisfied with it too. I am only not satisfied with the entertainment program after eating. People usually invite beautiful women to dance here. Why did you bring a bunch of brawny men?”
“In reality, it’s not bad to have brawny men dance here,” Steele said.
Sui Xiong rolled a big piece of meat with his tentacle and stuffed it into her mouth.
“So, let’s talk then.” Sui Xiong turned his head and addressed the group of five embarrassed and scared men, “Although we have had a little misunderstanding, using an advanced magic formation for just a little misunderstanding doesn’t seem right, does it? I find this matter very strange and very unreasonable! Can you give me a reasonable explanation?”
After speaking, he casually rolled a big beast bone as thick as one’s wrist with his tentacle, and brought it to his mouth. Biting it off, he chewed it up like eating a bunch of salty biscuits.
This scene was scary to the point of causing the hired thugs’ legs to shake crazily. If it wasn’t for their spine, they might have suffered urine incontinence. Luckily, the handsome guard was a bit braver than the rest. Though scared to death, he had the guts to answer, “For those who dare to make trouble in our restaurant, we always fiercely hit them hard. We don’t mind the cost but we have to crush their arrogance! One thing you have to know is that this big restaurant is prone to being attacked. If we hadn’t used such a cruel scheme to scare others, our restaurant might have been replaced long ago!”
“It sounds reasonable…” Sui Xiong was silent and fell into his thoughts.
“Don’t believe his bullshit!” Seeing Sui Xiong about to be deceived, Ray sneered and spoke, “I’ll bet that behind the owner of this restaurant is backed by at least one advanced caster who might be the current owner of the magic tower of Green Tree. As long as the backer doesn’t collapse, no one would dare to do anything to them even if they are courageous. They use this excuse to deceive those who don’t have enough knowledge about the Confederation of Mifata!”
