He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 471 - 469 How Much Money

Su Qingning's bar had become a massive hit. It happened when the bar reopened and Chu Xiangxue came to make an appearance, which made the place incredibly popular overnight. Everyone was thrilled at the time, but Lin Xiao harbored a vague worry. He was concerned that once the celebrity effect faded, the bar would become lukewarm.

However, Lin Xiao's concerns turned out to be unnecessary. Chu Xiangxue had been gone for many days, but the bar was still bustling with activity. In fact, it was getting busier and busier. Naturally, this was a good sign, as it meant Su Qingning would be making a lot of money. But the bar's booming popularity also brought another problem to the forefront: security.

Fortunately, Pei Donglai and Bei Kuang were both highly skilled, and with Shang Tuo joining their ranks, the bar's security was no longer an issue.

Lin Xiao was drinking tea, as usual. Someone had even thoughtfully brought him a television, making his life even more comfortable. He was beginning to realize that he was growing quite fond of this lifestyle. It was so relaxing and pleasant, even more comfortable than his time in Kunlun.

A little after nine in the evening, Lin Xiao was about to step out for some fresh air when Pei Donglai burst in, his expression tense.

"Captain, we have a problem!"

As the former War God of the Western Region War Zone, Pei Donglai had weathered countless storms. Trivial matters wouldn't even register with him. The fact that he was this tense meant the problem was serious.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao asked unhurriedly.

"Someone claiming to be from the Han Family of Jinhai City hit one of the servers."

The Han Family of Jinhai City? A member of the A9 Alliance?

"Why did he hit someone?"

"He demanded Miss Su drink with him. When a server told him that Miss Su doesn't drink with customers, he hit her!"

A cold sneer crossed Lin Xiao's lips. "Let's go take a look."

Pei Donglai nodded and quickly led the way.

As soon as they entered the bar, they heard a sinister voice declare, "That's right, I'm throwing my weight around. What are you going to do about it?"

Lin Xiao followed the voice and saw a well-dressed young master sitting on a sofa. He was flanked by seven or eight other wealthy young men, all of them looking insolently at Su Qingning.

Su Qingning was furious. Her pretty face was filled with cold fury as she glared at the young master. It was rare for her to get this angry. Based on Lin Xiao's understanding of her, the man must have said something incredibly vile to provoke such a reaction.

"The offer still stands," the young master said with a menacing grin. "If you want me to calm down, or even let you all off the hook, you have two choices. Either you drink every one of these bottles, or you leave with me right now!"

Lin Xiao glanced over and saw more than a dozen bottles of Ace of Spades champagne lined up on the table.

Su Qingning grew even angrier, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes blazing with rage as she stared him down. Both options were a clear attempt to humiliate her.

Just then, Lin Xiao strode forward. He couldn't possibly tolerate someone insulting his wife like this.

The moment she saw Lin Xiao, Su Qingning's lips quivered, a look of grievance on her face. She rarely showed such vulnerability in front of him.

Lin Xiao said softly, "You've been wronged. Don't be afraid. Your husband will make them pay for everything." Then, he turned to Shen Jingzhe and said calmly, "Take Qingning upstairs."

Shen Jingzhe nodded.

"I'm not leaving!" Su Qingning insisted. It wasn't that she didn't want to go; she was afraid Lin Xiao would be bullied if she left. She wouldn't let anyone bully her husband.

"Be good. Listen to me," Lin Xiao said, his tone gentle but firm.

Just as Su Qingning was about to protest again, Shen Jingzhe spoke up in a serious tone. "Qingning, listen to Lin Xiao. I think he can handle this."

Su Qingning looked at Lin Xiao one more time.

"It's okay, go on. I'll take care of it."

Only then did Su Qingning nod and follow Shen Jingzhe toward the stairs.

The young master instantly flew into a rage. He grabbed a bottle of Ace of Spades and smashed it violently on the floor. "Fuck! Su Qingning, you dare try to walk away today? Do you believe I won't have this shithole of a bar smashed to pieces right now?"

Su Qingning shuddered. She was scared. From the moment the man had revealed his identity, a sense of dread had washed over her. It wasn't that she was a coward; his background was simply terrifying. He was from the number one family of Jinhai City, an existence even more formidable than the top family of Jinling City. She couldn't afford to offend the most powerful family in Jinling, let alone their equivalent in Jinhai.

Shen Jingzhe turned her head to look at Lin Xiao, who gave her a reassuring glance. Understanding the signal, Shen Jingzhe didn't wait for Su Qingning to say another word and practically had to drag her up the stairs.

The young master was thoroughly enraged and started to chase after them, but Lin Xiao blocked his path.

"What's the point of bullying a woman?" Lin Xiao said with a smile. "How about this? If you have a problem, you can deal with me. I'll resolve it for you."

The young master shot Lin Xiao a contemptuous look. "So you're Su Qingning's beggar husband?"

"That's right," Lin Xiao nodded.

The man sneered. "Then let's cut to the chase. I want your wife. Name your price. Don't be shy. This young master has nothing but money!"

Lin Xiao smiled. From the moment I walked in and heard his first words, his fate was sealed.

"Let's go talk in the security room next door," Lin Xiao said, still smiling.

Thinking Lin Xiao was tempted, the young master stood up abruptly. "Fine. I'd like to see just what price you can come up with."

"After you," Lin Xiao said with a grin.

The young master walked out with a vicious smirk.

As he was about to follow, Lin Xiao turned to the staff. "Clean this up. Tell everyone things are fine. Go on, keep drinking and having fun. Everything is ten percent off tonight!"

The crowd, which had been intimidated by the young master, immediately erupted in cheers. The bar's deafening music started up again, and it was as if everyone had forgotten what had just happened as they returned to their merrymaking.

Outside the bar, Lin Xiao led the way. The group filed into the security room, with Pei Donglai following close behind.

"You can get back to your duties," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Pei Donglai replied with a wry smile, "Captain, let me stay. Someone has to deal with the bodies, right?"

"Not for now. I'll let you know if the need arises."

"Alright. I'll be waiting right outside then."

Lin Xiao nodded, and Pei Donglai quickly exited the room.

"Yo, you stinking beggar, you're pretty good at putting on a show," the young master sneered. "Now, name your price. How much will it take for you to let me have Su Qingning?"

Lin Xiao simply smiled.

The next second, a massive slap whistled through the air, streaking like lightning toward the scum's head.
