Chapter 100: Show of Force when Dismounting
Manager Li in the white robe fixed his gaze, his smile widening. He paused intentionally before bowing and said, "This gentleman must be Young Master Jing from Donglin City, right?"
He had paused to see if Jing Yan would take the initiative to greet him. Seeing that Jing Yan had no such intention, he then smiled and bowed as he spoke.
Although the smile was clear, the insincerity was evident to anyone observing.
Moreover, there was no real respect in his words.
"Manager Li, haha, I have heard much about you!" Jing Yan said, narrowing his eyes slightly as he also bowed lightly.
Although he was not fond of this white-robed martial artist, Jing Yan did not wish to waste time on such a minor character, especially since the negotiation had not yet begun. If it were possible to avoid conflict, he preferred it that way, considering that Liu Daquan still had to operate in Black Wind Town. Once a battle began, the impact would be significant, and Jing Yan could not always be in Black Wind Town to cover for the Liu family.
"Family Head Liu, Young Master Jing, please!" Manager Li stepped back half a step, inviting Jing Yan and Liu Daquan inside.
"As for the others, please wait outside. Our Sky Wolf Village has limited space, and too many people would make it crowded!" Manager Li’s eyes flickered as he spoke to the Liu family guards behind Jing Yan and Liu Daquan.
That statement was clearly a blatant lie! How could a mere twenty or so people make the Sky Wolf Village crowded?
"Oh, Manager Li is right; there’s no need for everyone to go in. You two, come with me." Liu Daquan quickly processed the situation. Without high-level guards to protect him, he felt insecure.
So, right after Manager Li finished speaking, he pointed to the two strongest Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artists.
For Jing Yan, it didn’t matter whether these guards followed him inside. He felt that if a real fight broke out, these guards wouldn’t be dependable. Even if some were loyal, they would likely be in the minority; most would choose to flee to save their own lives.
