Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 752: Chapter 751: Throw Them into the Lake

Before long, Manager Wang approached.

Upon seeing the assembled crowd, Manager Wang’s face broke into a smile, ”Director Lin, Owner Fang, what wind has blown you two over here!”

”Manager Wang, don’t put it so sweetly!” Director Lin drawled slowly, ”My aunt came over just now, and I heard she was stopped by your waitstaff and had to endure the cold outside for half an hour. Tsk, tsk, has Wanhu Manor become so arrogant in its dealings?”

Manager Wang glanced at Zhang Aiqin and replied with a faint smile, ”Director Lin, you’ve misunderstood. The main issue was that this lady couldn’t name the person who made the reservation. As you know, our rule here is that you must have a reservation to enter!”

”Is that so?” Director Lin scoffed coldly, ”Then how come I’ve heard that some people got in without a reservation?”

Noticing Zhang Aiqin, Manager Wang immediately understood who Director Lin was referring to and quickly replied with a smile, ”Their situation is a bit more special.”

”Special my foot!” Director Lin slammed the table and rose in anger, thundering, ”Wanhu Manor insists on rules, so we abide by the rules. But why should some be allowed to overstep these rules? And furthermore, what sort of riffraff are now allowed to dine at Wanhu Manor? Hasn’t Wanhu Manor always pursued a high-end trajectory? Is it now open for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to dine at?”

Manager Wang’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as he offered a conciliatory smile, ”Director Lin, this situation really is a bit unusual; please forgive me for not being able to disclose more. If any offense has been caused, please accept my apologies. How about I cover this evening’s meal for you?”

”No, what you’re saying makes it sound like I can’t afford a meal!” Director Lin replied coldly, ”I don’t care about your special circumstances. You can arrange for anyone you like to have a meal; it’s none of my business. But I do want to ask, is the rule that no one can cause trouble inside Wanhu Manor still in place?”

”Of course, it is!” said Manager Wang earnestly.

”Good!” Director Lin said, ”Then what do you have to say about those people you brought in, the ones who injured Owner Fang’s friends?”

”What?” Manager Wang looked utterly astonished, ”That happened?”

”What do you think?” Elder Fang angrily pointed at the injured parties.

Manager Wang frowned, then said sternly, ”Go, throw these people into Wanhu Lake!”

Everyone was taken aback because Manager Wang was pointing at the injured people behind Elder Fang. He meant to have the injured parties thrown into the lake?

”Hey!” Director Lin was the first to get angry, exclaiming indignantly, ”What do you mean by that? Owner Fang’s friends have been beaten, and you want to throw his friends into the lake? Are you bullying us?”

Manager Wang remained calm and said coldly, ”I don’t care who was hit, but anyone who provokes those guests is an enemy of Wanhu Manor. Throwing them into the lake is already being polite and is out of regard for you, Director Lin. Otherwise, I would have broken their legs before throwing them into the lake!”

At this, Elder Fang completely lost his temper, shot up from his seat, and roared at Manager Wang, ”What the hell are you talking about? Do you really think I’m an easy target? Let me tell you, believe it or not, one phone call from me, and the people I bring could tear down your Wanhu Manor!”

Manager Wang turned and glanced at Elder Fang with a sneer, ”Go ahead, make the call. I assure you, the people you call won’t get within one hundred meters of Wanhu Manor!”

”Are you trying to scare me!” Elder Fang thundered, ”Do you know what I do for a living? I run a security company; do you have any idea how many people I have under me? My people are either ex-military or retired bodyguards, each one of them exceptionally capable in a fight. You want to try me? Do you know what it means to ’dash oneself against a stone’?”

”You can try if you want!” Manager Wang replied coldly.

Elder Fang was about to call furiously when Director Lin stopped his hand.

”Elder Fang, there’s no need for the call,” Director Lin said with a sinister tone, ”However formidable your men are, can they really compete with the Shen Family from the provincial capital?”

”What... what?” Elder Fang was dumbfounded. How had the provincial capital’s Shen Family gotten involved?

Of course, Elder Fang knew who they were; they were the second most powerful family in Jiangnan Province.

Surely, the preeminent family of Jiangnan Province was the Qi Family of Wanhu, and that was an unalterable fact.

Gleaming beside the radiance of the Qi Family, the major families of Jiangnan Province, and even those of the Southern Six Provinces, seemed dim in comparison.

But this didn’t mean that the second most powerful family in Jiangnan Province was worthless. In truth, the strength of Jiangnan’s second-ranking family was on par with that of the Official Ye Family of Pingnan Province.

Although Elder Fang had some capabilities, he was outmatched when up against these great families, especially the second-ranking family from Jiangnan Province, the Shens.

If it really came to a fight, Elder Fang had no doubt about the veracity of Manager Wang’s words. His people truly wouldn’t be able to approach Wanhu Manor within a hundred meters. The Shens indeed had that kind of influence!

”He... he’s connected to the Shen Family?” Elder Fang asked cautiously.

”To be more precise, it’s Wanhu Manor that’s connected to the Shen Family!” Director Lin replied coldly. ”Wanhu Manor is a property of the Shen Family!”

Elder Fang suddenly understood and his panic increased. Offending ordinary folk was one thing, but opposing the Shen Family was akin to seeking death.

Director Lin seemed more indifferent; he watched Manager Wang coolly, ”Manager Wang, I heard that the kid just presented a business card to get in, and you don’t even know who he really is. Was it really worth it to escalate this situation and even break the rules of Wanhu Manor for someone like him?”

Manager Wang’s face remained composed, ”Very worth it!”

Director Lin’s brows furrowed as he demanded in a deep voice, ”What kind of incredible business card is it that justifies your actions?”

Manager Wang was silent for a moment before taking a business card out and handing it to Director Lin.

Director Lin took it and saw at a glance that the business card seemed peculiar. From a distance, it looked like any business card, but upon holding it, he realized it was actually a wooden piece styled to resemble a business card.

One side was smooth, while the other bore only three large characters — Shen Jing’an!

Director Lin’s expression changed; he knew that Shen Jing’an was the current Family Head of the Shen Family, having ruled over it for more than thirty years as its absolute ruler.

So the business card Su Yang had produced was that of Shen Jing’an. No wonder Manager Wang had been so agitated. But it was just a name card; was it worth such extreme measures?

”Just because he knows Elder Shen, you’re willing to break the rules of Wanhu Manor for him?” Director Lin asked sharply. ”I bet even Elder Shen would call you out for being brainless!”

Manager Wang took the card back and said coldly, ”What do you know? This is the Shen Wang Order, personally made by our old master. There are only three in existence. So far, only two have been given out, and this is the third. Whoever holds this order is regarded as our old master himself!”
