Chapter 321: At His Beck and Call (1/2)

Xue Wei's narrowed eyes flashed with a bit of coldness. ”Where is your manager?” he asked, not willing to let it go.

Had it been a small amount, then it would be fair, but this waiter was clearly looking for trouble, and he was not someone easy to bully.

Xue Wei sneered when he saw the slight hesitation in the eyes of the waiter, but he quickly put up an unbending front.

Xue Wei had experienced this more than once, even back in Yan Dalu a waiter had done the same to him, and now it seemed that he was easy to bully just because he was an unfamiliar face.

Before he had the time to do anything, a figure came rushing through the streets and walked straight towards the restaurant.

His clothes were made from the most outstanding cloud silk, something that came from a primordial beast.

Most people, such as Xue Wei and his friends, were wearing the cheaper version made from materials from fierce beasts.

The reason that Xue Wei had picked clothes from Fierce Beasts as opposed to Primordial Beasts was that he ended up in fights all the time. Their clothes were being ruined time and time again, so paying for the highest graded clothes was a waste of money.

Only the nobles and influential families, or people who did not often engage in battles would dress in clothes made from Primordial Beasts.

When the waiter saw that the man wearing the primordial beast robes moved towards the restaurant, his eyes glistened with excitement. He was going to service this man as he was sure that his tip would be high.

The reason he had stopped Xue Wei and the others was of selfish motives. When a waiter was in charge of a group of people, he would have to focus mainly on them. They would also almost solely determine their salary depending on how much they paid in tips.

Although there was base pay, it was low compared to the essence stones one got as tips for looking after people, and this waiter was getting greedy.

As time was going past, he wanted more and more tips. Usually, he would somehow make the other waiters and waitresses serve the poorer looking experts that came to the restaurant while he took the richer ones, but this time he had no choice but to deal with Xue Wei, and it had lowered his mood, making him immensely frustrated.

Seeing that a rich man was coming towards the restaurant, he found a solution, and he looked at Xue Wei with disdain in his eyes, not even bothering to hide it.

”Stand back,” he sneered. ”I will deal with this esteemed customer who is coming, and you can wait for another servant to help you. I will not pursue the fact that you do not have enough essence stones for the deposit; just don't trouble me.”

Saying this, the man pushed past Xue Wei and went towards the nicely dressed man, his expression which previously had been filled with disdain was now filled with fawning.

Xue Wei snorted when he saw it and shook his head. He had instantly guessed that the servant was unaware of who he was, and even more so, he could imagine the reason for the waiter's behavior, but this did not mean he would allow him to behave so unbridled.

He was not going to do anything to the restaurant itself, but he was going to ensure that the waiter lost his job. He was even tempted to kill him to vent his anger.

Xue Wei was not a friendly person. He was quite cold and callous and did not mind killing others. He was not someone who felt that life was especially important.

Since he was willing to kill, Xue Wei had also accepted that one day, his life would likely end from being killed by someone stronger than him.

This was something he had accepted, but he was not going just to let anyone kill him easily. He loved his life and would fight for it, and he expected others to do the same. However, some were just too stupid.

The waiter who had caused problems was a mere Ordinary Knight. He did not cultivate his spiritual energy, and his strength was not very strong, even amongst the commoners on Treasure Island, he was considered amongst the weakest, yet his arrogance knew no bounds.

Xue Wei could only think of one reason for this. The restaurant he had entered was not a simple place. It had to have some outstanding backing, and this backing had caused them to become complacent and arrogant.

While Xue Wei was struggling to suppress the killing intent in his body, he turned around. His arms were on his chest, and he saw that the neatly dressed person was looking at him with admiration.

Sensing his gaze, which was focused on Xue Wei, Xue Wei could not help but frown. Did this person know of him?

”Master Xue,” the person called out when he saw Xue Wei, his eyes lit up as if he had just seen his savior.

”I am Murong Jing, the leader of the Murong family,” he quickly introduced himself.

”The Murong family is one of the strongest families within the entire Sea of the Enchanted. Although we cannot compare to Mister Tao Wu, we can still challenge all the normal families. It would be my honor to share a meal with you and your friends.”

He was quite nervous. He knew he was pressuring Xue Wei, and pushing quite severely, but the allure of two-colored rainbow pills was something that had caused him to become quite panicked.

Xue Wei felt conflicted. He was not against striking a deal with specific families. He was not sure who to team up with yet, but he knew that he would work with some of them.

However, now was not the time for him to be discussing business. As a matter of fact, he was only here to eat with his family.

”Master Murong,” Xue Wei smiled and nodded his head towards the person who was so respectful towards him.
