Seven Stars Town, was a bustling and important town at the border, and a bustling place would always have all sorts of people, and as the people mixed with the people, things would naturally become more complicated, and with more things to do, it would need someone to manage it. Xu Haotian was the person who was in charge of Seven Stars Town.
The main street of Seven Stars Town was ten miles long. In the middle of the street was a Seven Stars Inn, the largest and most luxurious inn in the town, providing lodging for the wealthy merchants and giants to play with. The Seven Stars Inn had a total of five floors. The first floor had meals, the second floor had gambling houses, and above them were guest rooms.
”Waiter, serve me good wine and dishes.” If one were to look closely at his eyes, they would find that his eyes were deep and profound, and there was also a terrifying chilliness in them. His nose was straight and straight, and a wild and unrestrained air was mixed between his brows.
The waiter sized him up and said disdainfully: ”Sir, this shop belongs to Master Xu, so we don't owe you anything on credit.”
The man laughed heartily and threw a gold ingot to the waiter, saying, ”Just watch this. You can pay as much as you want.”
The waiter took the gold and bit into his mouth, immediately smiling coyly as he gestured for the man to sit on the table by the window.
Most bosses don't keep you waiting long if you pay a lot for a meal. The man's table was quickly filled with good wine and dishes. The dishes were mainly Sichuan Lu, and the wine was the best of the best, Maiden Red. The man slowly poured the wine into a cup and started eating the dishes one by one. His eating speed was very slow and didn't match his wild appearance.
”F * ck, laozi has been here for so long, why is his food faster than mine?” A burly man with a full beard slammed the table in anger.
”Because he pays more than you do.” A young man slowly walked in. There were eight people following behind him. They seemed to be skilled martial artists.
Upon seeing him, the waiter hurriedly bowed to him, ”Master Xu, you've come.”
That middle-aged man was Xu Haotian. The big man knew Xu Haotian's name, so he didn't dare to speak anymore.
”Is the food delicious?” Xu Haotian walked straight to the man's table and asked politely.
The man slowly chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth. Drinking a mouthful of wine, he raised his hand. Xu Haotian sat down and then said slowly, ”I heard that the cook at the Seven Stars Inn was originally made for the emperor.”
”That's right.” Xu Haotian seemed very pleased. After all, the people who could afford to hire a chef to cook for the emperor were few in number.
”This Seven Stars Town is all yours?”
”Yes.”
”How many years have you been running this place?”
”I can't remember. It must have been at least twenty years ago.” Xu Haotian carefully studied his well-maintained hands, then slowly said: ”Today, from the moment you entered Seven Stars Town, you gave all the silver from my gambling house to the beggars, let all the prostitutes go, and even went to my Seven Stars Silver Manor to destroy all my account books.”
”I did what I should have done before I killed you. Is there something wrong with that?” The man smiled.
The expressions of the eight people behind Xu Haotian had already changed. No one in Seven Stars Town would dare to say such things to Xu Haotian, but they could tell that this young man in front of them was not joking.
”You may have some skills, but you are way too proud.” Xu Haotian was still very friendly.
”Only arrogant people are worthy of killing people.”
Xu Haotian laughed and asked: ”How many people have you killed?”
”One.”
