Chapter 8: Fire Crystals (2/2)

Lu Yin smiled back, “What a coincidence, Brother Kang. Are you here for a meal?”

Kang Dafeng answered, “This restaurant is owned by my brother, so we come here for our gatherings quite often. I must apologize for what happened today, I hope Brother Lu won’t hold it against my nephew. He’s young and doesn’t know better.”

Everyone was flabbergasted by what they were seeing. What did this mean? Had they confronted some powerhouse?

Lu Yin grinned, “Everything’s fine, it was nothing serious.”

Kang Dafeng immediately glared at the youth, “Get over here and apologize to Brother Lu.”

The nephew wasn’t stupid, and didn’t stop to question things at all as he smiled and bowed in respect, “Forgive me, Captain Lu, I didn’t recognize you. I hope you won’t blame me.”

“I said it’s fine,” Lu Yin waved it off, chatting with Kang Dafeng for a while before the man left with the youths in tow. It wasn’t appropriate to say too much to a new acquaintance, but before the man left Lu Yin asked for Xu San to be left behind. In the meanwhile, the owner of the restaurant personally served Lu Yin and offered him many of the best dishes as a courtesy.

Outside the restaurant, Young Master Kang finally showed his confusion, “Uncle, why were you so polite to that person? Isn’t he another captain like you?”

Kang Dafeng spoke softly, “Remember to be polite if you meet him again. He’s extremely powerful.”

“Aren’t you also in the Realm of Earth, Uncle? How strong could he be?”

“Shush! This guy is several times stronger than me. Outside of the Executioner himself, no one in Nanjing can defeat him. Even Li Hongliang might not be a match.”

Young Master Kang’s mouth fell open, and he looked back at the restaurant in a daze before fleeing. Only now did he realize how close he’d come to dying.

Back in the restaurant, Lu Yin looked at Xu San coldly, “You’re quite brave to push the blame onto me.”

Xu San felt like all of his luck had left him. First he had stolen something only to discover that it belonged to Young Master Kang, and then he had tried to blame someone else who had turned out to be even more powerful! Even a captain had been deferential! Xu San was convinced that God had abandoned him and that he was about to die.

“What was the thing that Kang Dafeng wanted?” L u Yin asked casually.

“A red crystal, but I already sold it,” Xu San collapsed on the ground and replied bitterly.

“Oh? Was it quite hot?”

“How did you know?” Xu San was shocked.

Lu Yin immediately recognized the item as a fire crystal. Many battle techniques required such crystals since they could produce flames upon contact. In concept their usage was similar to Zhao Yu’s Frost Palm, they were external items that could help execute a battle technique. Fire crystals were very popular in the universe. and were naturally very rare in a place like Earth. It was little wonder that Kang Dafeng desired one so much.

“Do you know where it came from?” he asked.

Xu San shook his head.

“Hahaha. So you pushed the blame on me and made me a random enemy out of nowhere, yet there’s no compensation?”

Xu San paled, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

Lu Yin played with his chopstick, “Do you want to bet that this chopstick can pierce your throat? I feel like testing it out.”
