She bowed slightly. "I apologize, but that is outside my scope of work."
"Then what will it take for you to give it to me?" The young man's voice suddenly rose.
The girl did not answer and turned to leave.
"What kind of service is this?" The young man immediately grew agitated, slamming the table. "Call your Manager!"
The surrounding students glanced over, but no one dared to step forward to intervene.
Oh, Arthur dared.
In broad daylight, someone is actually harassing a civilian girl?!
Arthur walked straight up. His voice was even more arrogant than the young man's.
"Hey, where are you from, acting so cocky?"
Seeing Arthur's hooligan-like appearance, the blonde young man frowned. "Don't poke your nose where it doesn't belong."
With the two 'yellow hairs' clashing, everyone in the store immediately perked up, ready to watch the drama unfold.
Arthur put his hands in his pockets, his ahoge swaying with the movement, and deliberately leaned closer to the young man. His tone was flippant: "Not belonging? Causing trouble on my turf, and you call that not belonging?"
He pointed to the waitress who was about to leave and raised an eyebrow. "The girl clearly refused, yet you're still pestering her. Where is your Face?"
The blonde young man's Face darkened, slightly impatient. "My actions are none of your business, you reckless kid. Do you know who I am?"
Comparing backgrounds?
Arthur instantly became excited. "Then do *you* know who *I* am?!"
"You're a student of Shrek Academy, right? Do you believe I can get you expelled with a single word?"
Ya Li's endorsement, a status equivalent to the Outer Court Head, is not something to mess with!
"You!" The blonde young man had never seen anyone so pretentious and was about to explode.
Just then, the store Manager rushed over. "Please, guests, don't be rash."
Then he apologized to the young man: "I am sorry, but we cannot disclose employee privacy."
"What will it take for you to give it to me?" the young man pressed.
"It is impossible under any circumstances. Please do not make things difficult for us." The Manager's attitude was polite but firm.
A golden light flashed in the young man's eyes, and an invisible pressure spread out. "Call your Boss."
Oh?
Arthur gave a cold snort, directly dispersing the pressure. The Manager looked over gratefully and quickly left.
At the same time, the red dragon furnace core within him pulsed. Under its rhythmic beating, the terrifying Spirit Pressure caused the young man's Face to change drastically.
Following a muffled groan, the young man looked like he was about to collapse onto his knees.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man stood up not far away. The next moment, he appeared beside the young man and supported him.
The middle-aged man gently placed his hand on the blonde young man's shoulder; a gentle stream of Soul Power flowed slowly, but it had little effect.
His expression was startled and suspicious, looking at Arthur with scrutiny and doubt.
Arthur showed no sign of backing down, and the two just stared at each other.
After a long while, just as everyone thought a conflict was about to break out between the two.
The middle-aged man suddenly looked delighted. "Arthur? Are you Young Master Arthur?"
Young Master Arthur?
Everyone was shocked. A twist?
But the name Arthur... some people reacted, carefully observing Arthur's appearance.
Isn't this the undisputed number one on the youth genius ranking!
There were also a few freshmen who recognized him as the senior who had graded their assessment earlier, who was very kind and approachable. His scores were much higher than Elder Li and Zhuo Shi's.
The young man looked up incredulously at the Steward, wondering why he had betrayed him.
"Do I know you?"
Arthur was a little confused.
"I am Sun Bo. Young Master, you must have seen me when you were little."
When he was little?
Arthur brainstormed, thinking hard.
He suddenly understood.
He remembered that he had visited his mother's Family several times before.
Which was the Sacred Angel Clan.
Sun Bo was a Steward within the clan.
"I have a slight impression." Arthur mused, then looked at the young man.
So this... Arthur squinted, examining the blonde young man. The more he looked, the more he felt the Sacred Angel Clan's inherent "Holy Light" aura in his features. He clapped his hands immediately: "Oh, I remember now! You're that kid Le Zheng Yu, aren't you?"
Le Zheng Yu's expression changed drastically; he remembered too.
That was a memory from many years ago.
Every time Arthur came to the Family, it was a nightmare for all the younger generations.
No child could outplay him.
He was skilled at tricking children, the undisputed demon child.
Le Zheng Yu's Face instantly turned liver-red. He also remembered that, by seniority, Arthur was a generation older than him.
He should call Arthur... Cousin-Uncle!
Large Families are like this. No one knows if a certain child in the clan might be their elder.
The Boss, summoned by the Manager, walked over and asked, "How may I help you?"
Le Zheng Yu remained silent; his mind was currently in chaos.
Arthur chuckled and waved his hand: "It's fine, it's fine. This is truly a case of 'the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple'—we're actually Family."
He retracted his Spirit Pressure on Le Zheng Yu, stepped forward, and hooked his arm over his shoulder. "My bad, kid. Uncle didn't recognize you just now, Uncle apologizes."
"You!" Le Zheng Yu's eyes widened.
"Hmm?" Arthur tilted his Head. "What's with the 'you, you, you'? That's rude. What should you call me?"
Le Zheng Yu gnashed his teeth for a long time, finally squeezing out a voice smaller than a mosquito's: "Cousin-U-Uncle..."
"Ai—" Arthur drew out the sound in response, deliberately patting his shoulder with enough force to make Le Zheng Yu grimace. "Good Nephew, so obedient. Don't blame Uncle for acting against you; harassing that girl like that was wrong."
Sun Bo quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Young Master Arthur, Young Master Le Zheng is young and ignorant. Please don't take offense."
"Of course, I won't take offense." Arthur turned to the Boss. "Boss, it's fine now. It was just a misunderstanding."
The Boss quickly nodded. "It's good that it's resolved, it's good that it's resolved."
Arthur dragged and pulled Le Zheng Yu toward the table where they had been celebrating. "Come, let me introduce everyone to my great Nephew, Le Zheng Yu, the Young Master of the Sacred Angel Clan."
Le Zheng Yu struggled, trying to stand up, but Arthur held him down firmly. "Hmm? Not giving Face?"
The other party had no choice but to sit obediently.
Xie Xie held back a laugh and extended his hand. "Hello, hello, my name is Xie Xie."
The others also nodded in greeting.
Gu Yue merely gave him a faint glance, counting it as a greeting.
"Alright, later you go apologize to that girl, and we'll let this matter go." Arthur shook his Head and sighed. "What can I do? You're my Nephew. If it were anyone else, I would have beaten them down already."
"No way!" Le Zheng Yu grew anxious.
"Why?"
Le Zheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I suspect she is an Evil Soul Master."
Evil Soul Master!
Arthur admitted that he was startled for a moment.
Who is the Evil Soul Master? I shall end its life with a single sword stroke.
But he quickly calmed down.
After thinking about it, Arthur called out to the girl who had returned to work nearby: "Yuan En Yehui?"
The tray in the girl's hand suddenly paused, and she turned her Head. "Is there something you need?"
Sure enough.
"No, it's nothing."
Arthur patted Le Zheng Yu's Head. "Stop thinking about it. I know her. She is not an Evil Soul Master."
