Chapter 247 Can Only Be a Grandson
Zhang Yang was unsure, so he requested to speak with the Martial Alliance's higher-ups for instructions.
The call was quickly transferred to the other end.
"Zhang Yang, Silver Medal Martial Arts Enforcer, what urgent matter do you have to discuss?" the authoritative voice asked over the phone.
"Reporting to the Elder, I encountered a young martial artist causing trouble at the Cloud Cauldron Pavilion. He has a slight accent from another region and possesses King-level cultivation. I am no match for him and cannot apprehend him, so I have called headquarters for assistance," Zhang Yang replied respectfully.
"A young martial artist... at the King level?" The person on the other end of the phone frowned deeply, a bad feeling creeping over them.
"Quickly ask him if he has any Martial Alliance credentials. Remember, try to be as polite as possible!" the Martial Alliance elder instructed.
Zhang Yang's expression turned strange upon hearing this.
"May I ask, sir, do you possess any credentials of my Martial Alliance?" he asked, bowing respectfully.
"Oh, you mean this?" Xiao Chen casually tossed a token onto the table.
This was forced upon him by the leader of the Martial Alliance.
Zhang Yang glanced down and his eyelids twitched suddenly.
This gold color...something's not right...
Upon closer inspection, he felt a jolt of fear throughout his body.
"This is... a gilded token!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
At that moment, his mind went blank, and he finally understood why Xiao Chen had said those things.
This is a gilded Heavenly Martial Token...
It was as if the leader of the Martial Alliance had personally arrived!
Even the Grand Elder, a high-ranking member of the Martial Alliance, would have to bow respectfully upon seeing this token, let alone him.
Zhang Yang was horrified; his heart was pounding.
How could a silver-ranked martial arts officer like him be qualified to come into contact with someone of this level?
"Sir, how did you obtain this gilded token?" Zhang Yang took a deep breath and asked.
The Gilded Heavenly Martial Token is very important. The Martial Alliance almost never issues it out, and in the past, even within the alliance, very few people could possess it.
"It was given to me by an old man with a white mustache," Xiao Chen said casually.
“White beard…” Zhang Yang’s expression froze.
Who else in the upper echelons has a white mustache?
Isn't that the leader of the Martial Alliance?
Zhang Yang's face was already very ugly.
"Zhang Yang, is there anything special about this token? Why are you so scared?" Li Tang asked unhappily.
Zhang Yang did not respond to him, but instead put the phone back to his ear.
“Elder, he has the gilded Heavenly Martial Token…” he said weakly.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"As expected, it's that jinx! How could you provoke him? You idiot! If this isn't handled properly, the capital will be in chaos!" the elder scolded weakly.
Zhang Yang was even more horrified.
Who is this person?
If we anger him, the capital will be in chaos.
Zhang Yang felt immense pressure.
"Keep him calm, I'll have the nearest leadership team go there immediately," the elder said on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Everyone was looking at him.
"Sir, I apologize for any offense. I am just a lowly silver-ranked martial arts officer. Please don't hold it against me..." He bowed ninety degrees to Xiao Chen and said.
"This……"
Li Tang stared blankly at it.
Liu Yue and Zhen Suxin were also greatly surprised.
The Martial Alliance is a very special department with a very high level of authority.
Becoming a silver-level martial arts fighter at such a young age is quite an achievement, yet now she is trembling with fear in front of Xiao Chen.
"Zhang Yang, what are you doing? He just has a token, why are you reacting so strongly?" Li Tang was extremely puzzled.
"Shut up, or I'll be ruined by this!" Zhang Yang said, his head throbbing.
"This is someone neither of us can afford to offend! Quickly apologize to him!" he whispered.
Upon hearing that he had to apologize, Li Tang's face turned ashen.
Things have escalated to this point; there's no way to ease the tension. Zhang Yang not only doesn't help him but also protects the other side. What kind of brother is that?
"Hmph! Even if he does have some kind of identity, it belongs to your Martial Alliance. Why should I bow down to him?" Li Tang said angrily.
Zhang Yang's face darkened.
This kid is really out of his mind, he doesn't know his own limitations.
Making him apologize is actually saving him!
Unfortunately, the other party did not appreciate it.
"Listen up, from this moment on, anyone who dares to touch a hair on this gentleman's head will be severely punished by the Martial Alliance!" Zhang Yang said with a stern face, warning everyone.
Li Tang's expression was extremely unpleasant.
Zhang Yang wanted to protect him, but he didn't dare to openly break off relations.
Just as I was feeling indignant, a booming sound came from above.
A helicopter landed in front of Yunding Pavilion, and some people jumped off the helicopter and hurriedly ran into the restaurant.
"District Chief! You...you suddenly grace us with your presence..." The restaurant manager, who had come out to check the situation, was taken aback when he saw the newcomer and exclaimed in surprise.
The district head had a somber face and was in a hurry.
"Where are they?" he demanded.
The restaurant manager reacted quickly, immediately connecting the dots to what might be related to tonight's events, and pointed to the private room where Xiao Chen and the others were.
The district manager rushed into the private room and immediately saw Xiao Chen, then hurried over to him.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry. My management has been lax, and I apologize for the embarrassing situation."
Li Tang's expression was priceless.
In an instant, shock, fear, and surprise all rushed together.
"District Chief... what brings you here?" he called out.
This is a prominent figure in the southern district, holding a very high position. Not to mention him, even his father would have to serve him with utmost respect.
This is the kind of person you'd be hard-pressed to even meet if you wanted to curry favor with them; they're a big shot.
This person actually came in person to apologize to Xiao Chen...
Li Tang's scalp began to tingle, and horror exploded in his heart.
Zhen Suxin stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.
Does Xiao Chen's token have such great power?
"I just want to have a proper meal," Xiao Chen said.
“Of course…of course…” The district manager nodded repeatedly, then looked at Li Tang.
"What's going on? Our guests have come to your restaurant and can't even get a meal?"
"Yunding Pavilion doesn't want to stay open anymore?"
The question only made Li Tang more alarmed.
With a single, casual remark from the district head, Yunding Pavilion could be forced to close, along with other businesses and assets belonging to the Li family.
"Yes...yes, please wait a moment..." Li Tang nodded and bowed, quickly instructing his subordinates to prepare.
His attitude changed very quickly.
“Mr. Xiao, this place is dirty. Please move to the best private room. We will make sure you eat the best dishes at Yunding Pavilion, and we will not charge you a penny!” He said to Xiao Chen, bowing deeply.
No matter how much resentment and unwillingness one feels, it will all be shattered by reality.
This is someone you really shouldn't mess with...
Xiao Chen didn't even glance at him, and instead asked Zhen Suxin and her daughter to change to a private room.
Soon, fine wine and food were served, and the district manager personally accompanied him with a smile, while Zhang Yang could only stand aside.
Li Tang, on the other hand, diligently took on the role of a waiter, pouring them wine and tea, without daring to utter a single word.
After finishing the meal, Li Tang's legs ached from standing, and his face was stiff from the forced smile. He didn't dare to utter a single complaint.
After finishing their meal, they saw Xiao Chen and the other two out of the restaurant.
Li Tang didn't even have a chance to apologize, and couldn't say a word.
After Xiao Chen and the other two left, the district chief's face quickly darkened.
"Zhang Yang, you've been demoted from silver to bronze. Go back and reflect on your actions in seclusion," he said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhang Yang dared not disobey and could only bow in agreement.
“District Chief, I…” Li Tang tried to explain.
"Hmph, the Li family will be notified soon." He snorted coldly and boarded the helicopter.
Li Tang's face fell.
What notification?
Could they be planning to ruin the Li family?
After being subservient for so long, is it still not working?
Li Tang's heart sank to the bottom.
