Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1188: Roadside Stall

Su Yang and Lü Donglin passed through the alley, originally expecting to encounter an assassin’s ambush.

However, throughout the way, they didn’t encounter any trouble, wasting their heightened nerves.

Upon exiting the alley, Su Yang immediately smelled the aroma of grilled lamb skewers. Looking more closely, not far away by the roadside, there was a night market stall, where the owner was busily grilling skewers. At the stall, three tables of customers were sitting, drinking beer and eating lamb skewers, boasting loudly and enjoying themselves.

Su Yang chuckled, ”Brother Lü, shall I treat you?”

Lü Donglin glanced at the roadside stall and laughed, ”Sure!”

”Can you handle eating at a place like this?” Su Yang said with a grin. When Lü Donglin went out, he liked to make a big scene and would even redecorate the restaurant when they went out to eat during their Qinghe Academy days. Could someone like him really eat at a street stall?

Lü Donglin laughed, ”Xue Nu came from a poor background. Before he joined my uncle, he worked as a bricklayer on construction sites. He was strong and could move a lot of bricks, and every evening after settling the accounts, he would run to a street stall to drink beer. But, his daily wages weren’t enough for his drinking habit, so he learned how to fight. He truly had a talent for it, slowly made a name for himself, and created his own domain. But, he never liked high-end hotels; what he loved most was still eating at street stalls, and he enjoyed taking me with him. So, I’ve eaten quite a lot at street stalls!”

”Ha, you’ve changed quite a bit since then!” laughed Su Yang. ”After growing up, did you start to drift away?”

”Not really,” Lü Donglin replied with a light smile. ”It was only after coming to Capital City that I started putting on airs. You know, to completely dominate over these dandies in Capital City both mentally and physically, you not only need strong abilities, but you also have to let them know that you are much more upscale than they are in every aspect!”

Su Yang gave Lü Donglin a thumbs up, finally understanding the reason behind his elaborate displays.

The two men walked over and took a seat at a table. Lü Donglin waved his hand and called out, ”Boss, fifty lamb skewers, a case of beer, and some cold dishes!”

Their arrival attracted a lot of attention from the other customers, especially a few girls whose eyes almost sparkled as they landed on Lü Donglin.

Lü Donglin was good-looking and naturally caught the girls’ eyes. But their obvious attention also caused annoyance among the men at their table, who looked at Su Yang and Lü Donglin with a sense of hostility.

”Alright!” The boss shouted excitedly, personally fetching a case of beer and then scurrying back to grill the lamb skewers.

Su Yang picked up two bottles of beer, handing one to Lü Donglin, not wasting any words and just downing it in one go.

”Refreshing!” Lü Donglin placed down his empty bottle and laughed out loud, ”Drinking beer like this is the best. All that swishing around a wine glass and pretending to be fancy is just too fake, no fun at all!”

”Hahaha...” Su Yang laughed and said, ”Then you should stop doing that from now on. Just carry a beer bottle with you when you go out, it’s much more enjoyable than your fancy ’82 Lafite, right?”

Lü Donglin gave a helpless smile, ”While that’s true, I have to maintain a certain level of elegance when meeting people! If I am seen drinking a bottle of wine worth less than one hundred thousand, wouldn’t that make people think my uncle’s fortunes are declining?”

”That’s true indeed!” nodded Su Yang.

The two of them, however, failed to notice that as they spoke, a few young men at the table next to them were looking at them with utter disdain.

”Fuck, a ’82 Lafite, this fucker really knows how to put on a show!” one of the youths couldn’t help but say, ”Such a rich guy, coming to a street stall to show off, ain’t he afraid the wind’s gonna blow and twist his tongue?”

”Enough, man. If someone wants to brag, let him brag. It’s not against the law to blow your own trumpet, right?” another youth laughed.

”Bragging’s fine, but make it believable at least. Blowing it so big, ain’t he scared of being exposed and losing face?” Another youth added with a smirk.

”Fuck, I can’t stand people bullshitting!” The last youth was clearly agitated, grabbing a bottle of wine, pointed directly at Su Yang and Lü Donglin, and cursed loudly, ”You two dickheads, piss off to that table over there to eat. You’re too close to me, ruining my mood!”

Su Yang furrowed his brows slightly, whereas Lü Donglin just chuckled, picking up the wine bottle, ”Alright, alright, let’s switch to another table then.”

Su Yang glanced at Lü Donglin and, seeing that he wasn’t angry, didn’t say much, simply following Lü Donglin to another table not too far away.

This situation instantly provoked a round of laughter from the group of youths. In their eyes, Su Yang and Lü Donglin were nothing but fraudsters, scared off by their shouting.

The youth holding the wine bottle was even more complacent. Seeing how timid Su Yang and Lü Donglin were, he got even more pumped up, holding the wine bottle and pointing at Lü Donglin he cursed, ”The fuck, did I say you could sit at that table? You just go sit your ass down like I don’t exist, huh?”

Su Yang couldn’t help but clench his fists, but Lü Donglin was all smiles, ”So where do you want me to sit?”

”Sit on your grandpa, just fucking stand and eat!” shouted the youth with the bottle, ”Finish this whole case of wine, or I swear I’ll make you leave this place horizontally!”

With that, the youth menacingly shook the wine bottle in his hand, clearly ready to go up and attack Lü Donglin at any moment.

Su Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to fight back, and said gravely, ”Bro, don’t push it too far!”

”Bro your fucking ass, who the fuck is your brother!” The youth with the bottle swore fiercely, ”Who the fuck are you to call me ’bro’? You should ask around and see how much clout I, Zhou Qiang, have around here! Coming to my face and posturing, psh, you looking for death or what!”

Su Yang was about to speak again when Lü Donglin laughed, ”How about this, we’ll just leave, alright?”

Having said that, Lü Donglin put down the wine bottle and turned to pull Su Yang to leave.

At this moment, the food stand owner grilling lamb skewers panicked and ran over, ”Handsome guys, your lamb skewers are ready. Hey, come on, we’re all out to enjoy a meal, let’s keep the peace, no need to get so mad. Big brother, I’m sorry, let’s... let’s just enjoy our food, okay?”

”Fuck off to the side, it’s none of your fucking business when I’m talking!” Zhou Qiang cursed loudly.

The owner, embarrassed, came over to Lü Donglin and Su Yang with a plate of lamb skewers and awkwardly said, ”Gentlemen, I’m really sorry, maybe...”

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Lü Donglin as if he wanted to whisper something. But as he got close to Lü Donglin, his hands suddenly moved, the skewers in the plate sprang out, shooting like dozens of arrows, blocking numerous acupuncture points around Lü Donglin’s body.
