Chapter 164: Conflict Arises Again

“Hmph!” As soon as Old Xie said this, the Barbarians behind him immediately glared, one by one releasing their Battle Qi, looking like they were ready to fight.

The Manager was immediately dumbfounded. He quickly weighed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, but soon he discovered in despair that he seemed to have no way to stop this Young Master.

In terms of identity and status, although he was also a person of some standing, the person in front of him had beaten up the children of a Duke, a Prince, and the Emperor within a single day. Someone who even dared to hit a Princess, beating him up would be simply nothing at all?

As for smashing the shop, this guy could definitely do it. The well-informed hotel Manager knew that this Young Master had fought with the Elf Prince in the Imperial Palace, to the point of demolishing a 200-year-old building in the Imperial Palace. Someone who dares to smash even the Imperial Palace, would he care about this hotel?

Even if the Manager had a pig’s brain, after understanding Old Xie’s glorious history, he knew he certainly couldn’t stop this lord. For the safety of the hotel and his own life, he finally chose to yield. With a bitter face, he said to Old Xie: “Young Master, please come in and sit!”

“You are sensible!” Old Xie patted the Manager’s shoulder proudly, and then led his people excitedly into the most luxurious and high-end Grand Hotel in the Imperial Capital. The luxurious decorations inside made those Barbarians who hadn’t seen much of the world widen their eyes. Only Sven was a bit better, at least not losing his composure too much.

It’s just that the entry of these people caused dissatisfaction among other customers. However, most of the people here were slick customers. Seeing Old Xie was there, they didn’t dare to say much, and just checked out and left as a silent protest. But there were also a few people who directly expressed their dissatisfaction, especially those arrogant guys with bad tempers and status, who started cursing on the spot.

Old Xie and his group had just entered and were at the stairs, not having gone up yet, when they heard an arrogant voice from the 2nd floor: “I say, isn’t this a hotel specially for entertaining nobles? How did they let this group of dirty and lowly Barbarians in?”

Old Xie looked up and was amused. It turned out he knew this kid. It was the Augustus Family’s First Young Master, Pablo. He had brought a group of friends here to eat today, but unexpectedly ran into Old Xie bringing this group of Barbarians to disturb his mood. As someone from a Great Noble Family, Pablo attached great importance to his noble status. Thinking that he had to dine in the same place as these Barbarians, he felt a sense of insult, and the fire in his heart immediately rose. Plus, before he went to the Kingdom of Dwarves, he had contact with the useless Little Stephen and hadn’t dealt with Old Xie before, so he didn’t know how powerful Old Xie was. He still maintained his disdain for Little Stephen in his heart, so his words were very unscrupulous.

Actually, Old Xie knew Pablo, but Pablo didn’t know Old Xie. Because Pablo passed by Old Xie’s castle in the Barbarian Wasteland last time and even contributed a large sum of Gold Coins as a toll fee. It’s just that Old Xie covered his face at that time, so Pablo didn’t recognize him.

Of course, Old Xie was not someone to be insulted casually. Plus, he had no good feelings for the Augustus Family, and had even long been secretly against them, so this time he wouldn’t let Pablo go. He saw him give a sinister smile, and then directly said to Sven: “This kid dares to publicly insult the great Barbarian Warriors, he’s really a bastard. Teach him a good lesson!”

“Are you sure?” Sven immediately said with shining eyes.

Actually, Sven wasn’t a fool. He also knew the severity of the situation and understood that in this Imperial Capital, he, a Sword Saint, couldn’t act recklessly. After all, at the last banquet alone, he had seen several Saint Domain Experts, especially the Old Mage who had almost stepped half a foot into the Legend Realm. That strength made him feel awe at one glance, and instantly swept away his arrogance. So after being publicly insulted by Pablo today, he didn’t dare to directly erupt, afraid of making things big and burying all his people here. So he tried his best to restrain his subordinates, waiting quietly for Old Xie’s attitude. And until he heard Old Xie say he wanted to teach Pablo a lesson, he asked another question to be sure.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble!” Old Xie said with a wicked smile.

“That’s great!” When Sven heard this, he immediately gave a ferocious smile, leaped high, and pounced straight at Pablo on the second floor.

Pablo was scared silly at the time. He didn’t expect that Old Xie would really dare to make a move. You know, as nobles, especially adult nobles, one had to seek style in public places. Even when scolding people, one couldn’t use dirty words. If one really had to fight, it should be like a noble and have a Duel, everything according to the rules. How could anyone just start fighting over a disagreement like Old Xie? That’s not a noble at all, that’s what hooligans and ruffians do!

Fortunately, although Pablo was stunned, the people around him were not. A black figure immediately shot out from behind him, meeting Sven in the air. The two exchanged punches and kicks in mid-air, fighting fiercely.

As a result, Sven was in the air and couldn’t borrow strength, so he didn’t go up, but was instead hit and fell to the ground, crushing the wooden floor, but he himself was fine.

Of course, Sword Saint Sven was in such a sorry state, and the guy opposite certainly didn’t feel good either. That was a Level 6 Expert sent by the Augustus Family specifically to protect Pablo, their direct descendant First Young Master. He was beaten by Sven to the point of vomiting blood on the spot. After flying back, he knocked down a group of people and a wooden wall before finally falling to the ground.

Others hurriedly went to help him up. After the guy finally got up, he directly said to Pablo, “Young Master, run, that’s a Sword Saint!”

Pablo’s face turned green at this time. Actually, he understood Sven’s level after seeing his Level 6 subordinate being beaten away. Only then did he realize how many mistakes he had made today. The first was he shouldn’t have provoked Old Xie, this reckless guy. The second was he shouldn’t have underestimated the opponent’s strength and shamelessness. A Sword Saint, that’s someone with status and position. You say, how can a Sword Saint just casually fight like a thug? Is there any justice left?

Pablo was full of regret at this moment. He also wanted to run, but the problem was, he was upstairs, and the other side had blocked the main door below. More than 300 fully armed Barbarian Warriors were there! Could he run? So he could only bite the bullet and say to Sven who was about to charge again, “Wait!”

Sven was an honest person. When people said wait, he really stopped. Watching this, Old Xie couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking, it seems he still needs to be trained in the future. Being so honest will definitely lead to losses!

“I say, Little Stephen!” Pablo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: “We are all nobles of Great Noble Families. You starting to fight as soon as you come up is not in line with the rules!”

“I don’t like to follow rules, I only like to make rules! Also, I don’t like to look up at people when I talk!” Old Xie said with a smile, and then he directly said to Sven, “Drag him down for me!”

When Sven heard this, he immediately rushed up again. This time there was no Level 6 Expert to interfere. That guy had already been injured by Sven, and if he fought again, he would probably lose his life. Although the others around Pablo also went up with hardened scalps, the gap between their levels and Sven’s was too big, and they couldn’t stop Sven’s attack at all. They were easily beaten down by Sven. Then Sven reached out to grab Pablo.

Pablo himself was also a Level 4 Warrior, and he was usually very proud of his own level, thinking that he was unmatched among his peers, and that he could even hold his ground against a Level 6 Warrior. But after meeting Sven today, he realized just how big the gap was between him and an expert. In just one move, merely one move, he was disarmed of his Treasure Sword by Sven, who then used Battle Qi to seal his movements. Then Sven grabbed Pablo by the collar, dragged him in front of Old Xie like a dead dog, and threw him directly onto the ground.

From the moment Sven attacked to when Pablo was thrown down, only a few breaths of time passed; Pablo’s friends didn’t even have time to react. The entire process was truly clean and efficient, without any sloppiness, fully demonstrating the strength of a Sword Saint. Old Xie was very satisfied with this.

He first smiled at Sven to show his praise, then laughed at Pablo: “Kid, how do you think I should deal with you?”

Although he was completely at a disadvantage, Pablo acted quite tough and angrily shouted: “If you have the guts, just kill me!”

“Fine, I’ll grant your wish!” Old Xie was never afraid of tough guys like this, so upon hearing this, he immediately took a Battle Axe from a nearby Barbarian, planning to finish this guy off on the spot.

When Pablo saw this, his face instantly turned pale with fright. Cold sweat poured down his face, but he gritted his teeth and held on without begging for mercy.

Fortunately, the hotel Manager hurried over at this time and hugged Old Xie’s arm, shouting almost in a crying tone: “Young Master Stephen? I beg you, please don’t do anything! If Young Master Pablo dies here, our hotel would rather have you smash it up!”

Old Xie laughed when he heard this. However, he knew the Manager was telling the truth; if the eldest young master of the Augustus Family died here, this hotel would certainly bear the responsibility for failing to protect him. Needless to say, it would definitely face the wrath of the Augustus Family. If the hotel was smashed by Old Xie, the Manager would at least have no responsibility, and at most would be scolded by his superiors. But if Pablo died, the Manager and even the staff in the shop would definitely have to be buried with Pablo!
