Our goods have been stolen!
"What? Do you all eat shit? How come you're still alive? Why don't you go die? You lost the goods, so you dared to come back instead of just lying there pretending to be dead... How much did you lose?" After cursing to his heart's content, Brother K threw down a few teacups and fruit before calming down and speaking breathlessly.
"Several hundred thousand, I guess..." the younger brother stammered.
"Damn it...you guys...you're going to drive me crazy! Get me discharged—" K was furious. Damn it, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars all at once? How much is all my savings? You've made me lose hundreds of thousands? Damn it, I'm ready to kill! I'm not staying in this lousy hospital anymore! So what if I lost an arm? I'll take some painkillers and I'll be back to fighting!
"Yes, yes, yes..." A few underlings went to process his discharge paperwork. Of course, although it was extremely against the hospital's discharge regulations and rules, he was still discharged. The head doctor's face almost turned into a pig's head; he didn't dare refuse to let him leave, damn it!
Rules are worthless, regulations are worthless, my reputation comes first!
After teaching Brother K a lesson, Li Yang felt a bit bored, so he casually groped one of Brother K's henchmen, looted all his goods, dumped them down the drain, and flushed away hundreds of thousands of yuan in one go. Ruthless and extravagant... Damn, it's not my money anyway, I don't care!
"That idiot's about to do something desperate, isn't he?" Li Yang muttered to himself, squatting by the roadside, smoking. He wanted to force Brother K to do something desperate. When people are in a hurry, they're prone to making stupid mistakes, which would be a perfect opportunity for him to make his move. Then, this Paradise Bar would be his territory. Hmm, it's a territory of the Bagua Sect, a subordinate sect of the Heaven and Earth Sect, in Jiangnan City.
Hehe, from now on, in front of mortals we'll be the Bagua Sect, and in front of cultivators we'll be the Heaven and Earth Sect. Both names are pretty cool, damn, not bad!
Jiangnan City, you'll be my backyard sooner or later, how fun!
"The night is long, and I can't sleep. Might as well find a place to have some fun..." Li Yang stood up, easily flicking his cigarette butt, which traced a perfect arc before landing in a trash can a few meters away. Damn, my aim isn't bad.
"Peach Blossom Spring Coffee? Damn, it has such a poetic Chinese name, how come it sells foreign stuff? But coffee is something I can drink, it doesn't matter." Li Yang stepped inside.
The location is great, the environment is great, and the atmosphere is great. It's made me feel like having a coffee.
"A cup of premium Blue Mountain, please!" Li Yang ordered the best. Now that he was rich and capable, he could spend tens of millions to build a sword or a flagpole. This little bit of coffee was nothing to him.
"No!" The waiter replied coldly and without any courtesy.
"Huh? You open the door to receive customers... no, to run a business. What? If customers come to your door, why wouldn't you do it?" Li Yang said without looking up. He then shut up, his eyes widening. This is ridiculous! Even though I can fly and acknowledge the global village, we don't have to meet this soon, do we?
Chapter 803: Aren't the sisters' charm enough?
"Even if I had it, I wouldn't sell it to you," the woman continued with a cold snort. Actually, genuine premium Blue Mountain tea is extremely rare. All the hype and rumors in China are fake. Only the truly powerful can obtain the real thing, much like the Da Hong Pao tea from the original Wuyi Mountain tree. When harvesting was permitted, only a tiny fraction was produced each year, and only the most powerful could afford it. Now, even harvesting is prohibited; even the Emperor himself couldn't drink it. However, if Li Yang wanted to, he could simply fly over and cut down the tree. But would he do something so unseemly and lacking in class? Besides, he didn't want to attract attention; the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Moreover, there are so many pretentious people in society these days, especially cultivators. It wouldn't be fun to go out of his way and cause trouble for himself.
"I didn't say I wanted to buy you, why are you in such a hurry to sell yourself?" Li Yang, who had never feared anyone since the day he gained superpowers, especially not a blonde girl. Damn, she's not even blonde anymore, is she? She's all grown up now…
"Taoye, we're open for business, everyone's a customer, selling!" The girl behind the counter looked up, smiling professionally. The other guys quietly sipping their coffee stared at Li Yang with burning eyes. Damn it, where did you come from? Daring to mess with the proprietress, don't you want to lose your job? Can't you see all our protectors here?
It turns out that 80% of the people sitting in the coffee shop were young men, seemingly well-dressed and accomplished, but their real purpose wasn't the coffee; it was the proprietress.
"We don't have premium Blue Mountain coffee, but if we did, would you drink it or not!" Peach Leaf glared at Peach Blossom, as if to say, "Do you even know how to call me 'older sister'? I was out a few minutes earlier than you!" But she didn't do anything to Li Yang, even though her attitude wasn't very good.
"Coffee is fine with me, I'm not picky!" Li Yang said with a smile.
"Wait a minute~" Tao Ye turned and walked away, her round bottom under her uniform actually quite smelly. If she were to get a maid outfit and learn a few moves from Wu Ruoling, uh… damn it, I don't want to get a nosebleed~
A delicate fragrance wafts by.
Sitting in front of him was a stunningly beautiful woman, well, someone Li Yang had seen before, named Peach Blossom.
"I'm truly flattered! Instead of the proprietress personally attending to other customers, she's come to keep me company. I'm so excited!" Li Yang began to boast in a refined manner. Since the night was long and he couldn't sleep, he figured he might as well tease her a little.
Who knows, if they take over Paradise Bar in the future, these two sisters will be the star attractions, even more impressive and marketable than Li Qinghua, the queen of nightclubs. Of course, Li Qinghua is no slouch either; just look at how she manages Liangjia Bar, which is highly profitable, incredibly popular, and renowned throughout Jiangdong City—that speaks volumes.
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, did you come here on purpose? Are you targeting us sisters?" This wasn't the first time Peach Blossom had encountered something like this. As the saying goes, "Peach and plum trees don't speak, yet a path is formed beneath them." They sisters were so strikingly beautiful, and any man who could get things done wanted to get close. But Li Yang was different from ordinary people. No matter how beastly their stepfather was, he was still a prominent figure in Jiangnan City, driving nice cars and living in a mansion. Everyone had to give him face. Even the arrogant K-Brother wasn't someone many dared to mess with, let alone openly target them. Li Yang was too audacious. They didn't believe Li Yang's words about being a pimp's top dog and a golden groom. The pimp was indeed a big shot in Jiangnan City, but he was currently washing his hands of the business and busy whitewashing his image. His subordinates were also well-known figures in Jiangnan City, but they'd never heard of Li Yang. Trying to sow discord? Come on, be a little more subtle! The more you say that, the more it proves you're not a chicken head (a person who is not a leader).
Li Yang got excited, grinning broadly, his eyes brazenly fixed on the other person's headlights, and nodded, saying, "Yeah, who wouldn't want to take a bite of such fresh and tender flowers?"
"Rogue, shameless bastard"—that's how Peach Blossom defined Li Yang. However, she dared not get angry. She was still shaken by the power of Li Yang's kick. She had occasionally been fortunate enough to watch a few underground boxing matches and witnessed the brutality and madness of them, but she had never seen such a powerful kick. If he participated in the underground black skirts, he would definitely be able to... Damn it, what was she thinking? Was it related to the matter at hand?
“Let me tell you, the people who want to eat us sisters haven’t been born yet~ Those who have been born have all given up... You? No way!” Peach Blossom crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, staring at Li Yang with her delicate, sharp chin like a steel cone.
"Your actions have betrayed your true feelings. You're afraid now, afraid you can't escape my grasp!" Li Yang stared sharply into Tao Hua's eyes, which were as bright as peach blossoms, his confidence overflowing.
"You're talking nonsense! Let me tell you, don't be so arrogant! If I don't agree to this, and you dare to force me, I'll kill myself right here!" Peach Blossom slammed her hand on the table excitedly, her pretty face flushed as she stared at Li Yang.
"Damn it, so what if I see through your heart? Why are you so agitated? Who told you to cross your arms and adopt a defensive posture? You betrayed yourself, okay? Damn it, what do I care? You're the one who's being cowardly and lowering your morale and fighting power..." Li Yang muttered under his breath, his aura seemingly weakened, but his words were like knives, making Peach Blossom's face pale and unable to withstand them.
"You—I'm telling you, none of us sisters will ever like you, not a single one of us, and don't even think about trying to have your cake and eat it too!" Peach Blossom said excitedly.
"I never thought about having my cake and eating it too, not even one of them. Did you think about it? Don't be so lewd, you're a girl, you should be more reserved~" Li Yang said with a smile, seemingly calm and collected.
"You—humph~ shameless!" Peach Blossom threw down a remark and got up to leave, her uniform giving her a unique charm. It's quite something that these two sisters, after being princesses at the bar, are now working as maids here!
"Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out!" The cold voice descended again, and with a bang, a coffee cup was slammed down in front of him.
"Don't get so worked up. Remember your place. I'm here for coffee, not to pick up girls." Li Yang took the coffee and sipped it without getting angry.
"You... what did you mean by what you said in the bar?" Taoye asked, frowning.
"What do you mean? I'm sorry if my words caused any misunderstanding. You were used by me, you were props. Hehe, my main target is idiot K, and you were just there to annoy him!" Li Yang said with a chuckle, showing no sincerity whatsoever in his apology.
"I don't believe you! You have such a wicked look on your face!" Tao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both relieved and disappointed. She was relieved that she didn't have to deal with a dangerous person like Li Yang, but disappointed that her proud, arrogant, and aloof sisterly figure, like princesses, hadn't been noticed by him. Was their charm lacking?
Chapter 804: Apologize with Coffee
Li Yang picked up his coffee and downed it in one gulp, filling the entire cup. His cheeks bulged out like an ox munching on grass. He then gulped it down again, exhaling a mouthful of rich aroma before grimacing and saying, "What does this taste like? It's awful! And so many people like it, what a problem!"
Across from her, Tao Ye's sexy little mouth opened wide—well, it should be said, it opened completely round—and she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it hot?"
"It's not hot. Is this temperature high?" Li Yang said, putting down the cup and wiping his mouth. This temperature is really too low. His brother was practically spewing out Samadhi True Fire; this temperature is nothing!
"Stop pretending, you must have blisters in your mouth!" Tao Ye frowned and grimaced, constantly picking at her teeth. In her opinion, Li Yang was crazy, putting on a show to win her favor. Honestly, if a guy did something like that for her, it would still touch her heart. Even if she might not like him, that didn't stop her from being touched, right?
"Look at this?" Li Yang opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue, waving it in front of her as if he wanted to lick her lips and give her a passionate kiss.
Tao Ye immediately sensed something was wrong. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she sat back a little, saying, "Okay, okay, I know, it didn't bubble~" She was filled with doubt. How could this be? Did I not use boiling water to make the coffee? Cold water can't be used either!
