Chapter 924: Still Going On?
“Who might you be, sir?” He tried to ask.
Li Xiaofei immediately snapped, “You are not worthy of knowing.”
The fat man did not get angry but instead furrowed his brow as if sensing something. After a moment, his face revealed a look of shock.
“So, it’s an upper-ranking lord,” he exclaimed. He hurriedly stood up, his enormous body shifting like a mountain of flesh, and walked down from the golden seat to bow before Li Xiaofei. “This lowly one did not know that it was a weapon reserved by an upper-ranking lord. I deserve death, I truly deserve death... Please, my lord, forgive me.”
As he spoke, he slapped himself across the face several times. Li Xiaofei was slightly taken aback. Then he understood. The man must have sensed the aura of the Mother of All Beasts on his outer skin, which was why he kept referring to him as an upper-ranking lord.
The Mother of All Beasts held an extremely high status within the Reaper factions. It was at least at the King level and possibly even at the Emperor level. It was undoubtedly a position of supreme authority.
That fat man, despite being human, had clearly mastered the art of reading people and was thriving in the Reaper world.
“Get out.” Li Xiaofei had no intention of getting entangled with him since he did not know his true identity.
The fat man repeatedly apologized, then turned to the elderly attendant and said, “I’ll pay the cost of this blade.”
Then he bowed once more to Li Xiaofei. “My lord, please allow this lowly Master Jin to pay. Consider it a token of apology. Please, I beg you to accept my apology.”
Li Xiaofei felt a silent delight in his heart. Such a windfall. He decided to accept it.
Afterward, Master Jin left as though he had gotten the best deal in the world, offering countless thanks as he departed.
