Chapter 648: Lord Lu Bestows a Calligraphy Gift — Off Goes the Dragon Emperor to Another Dimension
With Lu Ding's shout.
Someone answered from the second floor.
"Coming, coming, Grand Guardian please wait a moment."
Thump thump thump thump...
Footsteps sounded.
They saw the middle-aged man holding up his plain-colored robe hem quickly running down.
His steps were hurried but not chaotic.
Despite his ordinary appearance and simple clothing, he somehow managed to wear it with an air of nobility.
When the man reached Lu Ding.
His left leg extended forward and bent, right leg dragged behind, left hand resting on his knee, right hand hanging down: "Greetings to Grand Duke Lu."Casually cupping his hands: "I am the owner of All Under Heaven One Family, Chai Gui'er, Grand Duke Lu your command, I await."
Lu Ding glanced at him.
This style...
Quite authentic!
But... for a boss who could run such a large restaurant.
He had the presence at first appearance, but how did it break character in less than three seconds?
This wasn't what he expected.
Shouldn't it be, neither humble nor pushy, with natural grace?
Waving his hand: "Skip the formalities."
Lu Ding continued: "Calculate how much for your wall, floor, tables and chairs, and lost work time, just a rough estimate, I'll pay you 1.5 times market price."
He had money now.
Couldn't spend it all.
Having confiscated from so many wealthy families.
The White Ridge 749 treasury was almost overflowing.
Besides, he was dealing with Wuwang cultists, compensation could come from public funds!
Money was just paper, spent it could be earned again, worst case just confiscate more.
He had come to a chaotic place like New City, could he possibly lack money?
As the saying goes, neighbors stockpile grain, I stockpile guns, neighbors become my granary!
Lawbreakers, criminals, dark forces, one word, confiscate!
As long as he didn't use it for himself, no one could say anything about him.
Hearing Lu Ding's words, Chai Gui rolled his eyes: "No need Grand Guardian, All Under Heaven One Family, this wall, this floor, being broken by your hand is their blessing."
"Your stepping into All Under Heaven One Family's premises is All Under Heaven One Family's blessing."
"Double blessing, I'm getting the better deal, if you give me money again, wouldn't that be overwhelming me?"
"This money, I Chai Gui absolutely cannot accept, I only hope Grand Guardian will frequently patronize All Under Heaven One Family's business in the future."
"Our food, tea, though not top-tier, are passable, you can come anytime for a simple meal, All Under Heaven One Family would be honored, I Chai Gui'er would be even more honored."
As he spoke, he smilingly patted his own face.
Slap slap.
But not obsequious.
This posture looked exactly like a powerful eunuch in the palace.
Listening, Lu Ding tore off a compensation slip with his name written on it, slapped it on Chai Gui's chest.
"These words sound comfortable."
"I have matters to attend, won't chat with you further, 1.5 times, fill it in yourself, report to White Ridge 749, when I finish my current tasks, I'll definitely come try it."
Lu Ding had money, but wasn't burning to spend it.
Actions should be proper.
It wasn't like he didn't have any.
Breaking someone's wall and floor, affecting their future business.
This required compensation not just for wall and floor, but also for lost customers during repairs.
No one owed him anything.
Lu Ding withdrew his hand, Chai Gui caught the slip.
Thoughts gradually arising in his eyes, how to handle this.
Earlier upstairs, he had actually witnessed everything, not coming out was wanting silent handling.
But then couldn't not come out, he was called.
Now couldn't not accept either, it was slapped on his chest, if he rejected this lord's face, the implications would be significant.
But accepting...
He felt it was too shortsighted.
As Chai Gui looked at the slip, at Lu Ding's personal signature.
His eyes gradually brightened.
When Lu Ding walked out of All Under Heaven One Family's entrance.
They heard a clear announcement call.
"Grand Duke Lu bestows an ink treasure!!!!!"
Lu Ding paused his steps.
"This All Under Heaven One Family's boss is quite interesting."
Then leaped up from the ground, spiritual energy gathering in his hands, starting to form a sphere.
Though he could do it casually.
But, the effect Lu Ding wanted was one move to clear the field.
He didn't want to conserve spiritual energy for those few dilapidated buildings of Path of Dry Bones 749 and some old equipment, resulting in not being able to clear with one move, having to slowly handle each small fry one by one.
Time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Troublesome.
Since he had this ability, and White Ridge 749's treasury now had the funds.
Might as well push over and purge both people and buildings, start everything anew, rebuild, recruit again.
Wouldn't that be much faster?
This wasn't like novels padding plot, killing one by one with each move.
Previously not bombing the Tai Island consulate was because the Tai Island consulate was in a busy downtown area, bombing would inevitably affect innocents no matter how careful, Path of Dry Bones was different, not many people around.
Originally, normal 749 should be built in populated areas, for convenient rapid response to missions, controlling emergencies, but who told Path of Dry Bones 749 was so arrogant, changed location.
Felt the original place didn't match their level.
Specially chose a place with mountains and water.
Truly selected their own cemetery.
The result of this was.
As long as Lu Ding's 'Dragon Emperor Different Dimension' was carefully formed, precise demolition could be achieved.
What could be solved with one move, absolutely no dragging!
At the same time.
Not long after Lu Ding left.
Soon after.
A black fleet of over a dozen luxury cars steadily stopped before All Under Heaven One Family restaurant.
The lead car door opened.
Shiny leather shoes stepped out steadily onto the ground.
Someone leaned out.
Dress pants, shirt, sunglasses, ponytail, tall figure, cold expression.
The woman stepped forward.
Walked into All Under Heaven restaurant.
The atmosphere in the room quieted again.
Her appearance made those still present not dare to breathe loudly.
For no other reason.
Because this person was Jian Suixin.
Broken Branch Guardian, one of the Four Guardians of Fierce Pursuit Hall.
Not to mention ruthless and vicious, she was also Feng Yueming's number one pursuer.
Seeing her arrival, everyone thought, that storytelling young man was in trouble.
Subconsciously, many gazes again looked toward the corner, where the young man surnamed Du stood examining Lu Ding's ink treasure.
He was still thinking.
"Grand Duke Lu actually didn't scold me, didn't blame me, then could I open a venue later, specializing in telling this Grand Guardian's deeds?"
"So many people like listening, definitely wouldn't lack customers."
Thinking, his mouth corners curled, then retracted, slapped his hands together.
"Can't just do whatever I think, need to apply with the Grand Guardian first."
"Taking matters into my own hands would violate the Grand Guardian's... reputation rights?"
Saying this, he turned around, wanting to immediately go to White Ridge 749.
But, just as he turned.
A cold flash.
The damaged wall gained fresh bloodstains.
Half a tongue fell to the ground, still emitting heat.
Du Huaisheng hugged his bleeding mouth, collapsed on the floor, rolling, twitching, emitting muffled screams.
Painful!!!
Jian Suixin removed her sunglasses, stepped on him, suppressing the flow and mobilization of spiritual energy within his body, reached back, took a wine bottle.
Unscrewed it.
Poured it on Du Huaisheng's face: "This running tongue was specially bought for you, how does it taste!?"
The wine stimulated the wound in Du Huaisheng's mouth.
Making him like a fish on the ground, continuously flapping and trembling.
A smile rose on Jian Suixin's face: "You look like a fish...."
Casually pulled out steel reinforcement from the wall, bent it into a hook in her hand, then pulled with her fingernails, tip sharp.
Hooked it into Du Huaisheng's mouth.
Jian Suixin walked forward, voice ringing out: "Yueming, don't be angry, I brought you a fish."
Du Huaisheng was dragged away, leaving a long trail of blood, shocking to see.
