Chapter 499: Uninvited Guests

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two unexpected guests didn’t walk too far. After traveling for only two minutes along the main road in town, they soon spotted a four-story restaurant named Supreme Cuisine. It looked pretty grand and seemed to be the best restaurant in town. A waiter was welcoming the patrons at the entrance with all smiles. Both men exchanged looks.

“Let’s go in!” The taller man spoke up.

The shorter man swept his glance across the restaurant in a picky manner, then nodded. “Alright, let’s go in! Supreme Cuisine... Didn’t expect the restaurants to have such impressive names in a small place like this!”

“This way inside, dear patrons!” The waiter eagerly and politely welcomed the two men at the entrance. “Would you prefer an open seat, or a quiet private room?”

“Private room it is!”

“One private room on the second floor for two patrons...!” The waiter announced loudly as though he was singing. Another waiter immediately came out to lead both men into a private room by the window on the second floor.

Since it was slightly past lunch hour, there weren’t many other patrons in the restaurant. Only two tables on the spacious second floor were occupied and they were about done with their meals.

“What would you like to order? The Ten-Fresh-Ingredients Roasted Lamb and Saucy Beef Feast are our signatures. We serve fine wine here too, like a decade old wine aged by the Shi Clan of Pingxi Prefecture. It’s pure, without even a drop of water mixed in. Regular patrons will be able to tell with just a taste!”

“Just serve us whatever you have. A restaurant in a small place like this can barely fill a tummy. There’s nothing to expect other than hygienic food. I’ve traveled extensively and eaten many cuisines. You have probably never seen those types of food yourself, let alone having the chefs in your tiny restaurant serve them!” The shorter man rolled his eyes and continued speaking arrogantly, “Skip the wine. Serve the food quickly. I’m in a hurry.”

The waiter in the restaurant seemed like he was used to seeing all kinds of patrons, and didn’t bicker over it. Despite the man’s words, he maintained the smile on his face. “Alright, please wait for a moment. I shall inform the kitchen to serve a few nice dishes for you both!”

“Excuse me, how do we get to the Yan Residence?” The slightly taller man spoke up.

“Huh? Are you interested in buying weapons? The Yan Blades are sold right in front of this street. They are of good quality at affordable prices!”

“We wish to have some business discussions with the Yan Clan!”

“Ah, I see. When you are done with your meal, you may travel eastward along the road outside this restaurant until you reach a crossroad. From there, you will be able to spot a tall chimney. The Yan Clan’s blacksmith workshop is right next to that chimney!” The waiter explained passionately.

“Good. Oh right, this restaurant has a decent name. Is the owner from this town as well?”

“Haha, you have a good taste, dear patron. This restaurant was established by the Yan Clan. The owners are Old Master Yan and Young Lord Yan. It was also named by Lord Yan, so of course it’s a good name. The Yan Clan owns not only this restaurant but half of the stores in Liuhe Town!” The waiter said proudly.

The two uninvited guests looked at each other and exchanged glances.

“Alright, quickly serve us our meals...” The taller man ordered.

“Yes...”

After seeing the waiter go downstairs, the taller man whispered, “Martial Senior Brother, the Yan Clan seems to own nearly the entire Liuhe Town. They have a decent influence in Pingxi Prefecture and fits the description of a local tyrant. We should be careful to avoid failing this miserably simple task!”

“Ah, yes. We can’t make a fool out of ourselves in front of that brat after coming all the way here...”

The six sumptuous dishes and a soup were very quickly served. The waiter left after serving the dishes. The two uninvited guests exchanged looks with each other, then quickly retrieved a silver needle from their sleeves. They didn’t eat until all the dishes were tested for poison.

When both men were still eating, the other patrons were already done and left after paying their bills. In the end, only two of them were left on the second floor. When they were halfway through their meal...

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump! A series of footsteps came from the stairs. A bearded law enforcer with a saber hanging from his waist came upstairs with his seven other subordinates dressed in black, holding chains, iron rulers, and batons. The bearded law enforcer scanned around, then walked to the two uninvited guests. By the time he reached the two men, his subordinates had formed semicircle around them to block any escape routes.

“You two. What are your names? Where did you come from? What is your purpose in coming to Liuhe Town?” The law enforcer shot three consecutive questions at them as soon as he opened his mouth.

The two men seated at the table looked at each other.

“We traveled to Pingxi City for a visit. Is that wrong?” The taller man calmly spoke up.

“Wrong or not, we’ll take this to the law enforcement office. Not long ago, a house in Liuhe Town was broken into. Someone saw two thieves. One tall and one short, and they happen to look like the two of you. Come along with us for verification!” The law enforcer spoke and took a step closer. The other bailiffs took a step forward too.

CRASH...! The shorter man moved first and sent the table in front of him flying at the law enforcer, along with the plates and bowls on it.

“How dare you...!” The law enforcer unsheathed his saber furiously, and split the table that was flying toward him cleanly into two. His other subordinates also brandished their weapons at the two men.

A sword gleam flashed, and the bailiffs felt an impact to the web between their thumbs and index fingers. Their weapons were instantly knocked out of their grasp while they involuntarily fell backward. The bearded law enforcer crashed noisily into a table on the side loudly, instantly smashing it into pieces...

The two uninvited guests directly jumped out of the window on the second floor wordlessly.

However, a few bailiffs were lying in ambush outside the restaurant. When both men were still in mid-air, the few hidden bailiffs outside threw a large net toward them.

Any average person, or even a Martial Warrior or Supreme Warrior, would probably fall right into an ambush like this...

The bailiffs lying in wait outside had clearly underestimated the cultivation of the two men that jumped down from upstairs.

The shorter man snorted when he saw the large net being thrown at them. He picked the roof tile with his sword, then hit them hard. The tiles instantly shattered into many pieces and the fragments flew toward the large net and the bailiffs who cast it.

The bailiffs fell onto the ground in pain. The net was carried away by the tile fragments.

As soon as both men landed on the ground, they bounced up like rubber balls and then landed on the roof of another house at the side...

“Thieves, thieves! Someone, catch the thieves! They got onto the roof...!” The waiter who was greeting the patrons at the entrance earlier shouted, and the whole street immediately erupted.

“Where are the thieves? Where are the thieves...?!”

The chef in the restaurant immediately came rushing out with a knife. The butchers along the street rushed out with their cleavers too. The children on the street picked up stones and started hurling them. The vegetable sellers down the road also started throwing vegetable stalks at them. Even the old men playing chess along the street rushed at the two men with their canes.

The countenance of the two uninvited guests immediately contorted at the sight. Both of them ran across the roofs and quickly made their way out of Liuhe Town without delay. Countless people were chasing after them down the street as they hurled whatever they had in their hands at them...
