Chapter 2314: There was almost a conflict, fortunately!
"boss."
Ling Tian came to the barbecue stall again, waved, and said hello.
The boss responded with a smile, walked over and asked, "What would you like to eat and drink today?"
"I brought you something, and I wanted to sit here until you closed your stall."
Hearing this, the boss understood what Ling Tian meant, so he nodded, turned around and walked into the store. After a while, he came out with a plate of food and some drinks, and placed them in front of Ling Tian: "Eat while you wait. We're a bit busy today. I'll come find you when I'm done."
"Okay, boss, you go ahead and do your work. I'll just wait."
Ling Tian nodded, sat down, and ate while waiting.
Time passes little by little.
At midnight, the boss was still not free to come.
Ling Tian discovered that there seemed to be people coming to the barbecue stall all the time today, leaving the owner no chance to rest.
Ling Tian was powerless to do anything about this and could only continue to wait.
Just then, a staggering man suddenly sat down in front of him and put a bottle of wine on the table.
Hearing the sound of the bottle hitting the table, Ling Tian looked up. Seeing the other person's confused eyes, he frowned slightly, but did not speak in a hurry.
The other person was wearing a black suit and had an ordinary appearance, nothing special about him.
However, his realm, the early stage of the Unity Realm, was somewhat beyond Ling Tian's expectations.
Just as Ling Tian was observing the other person, the strange man looked up at him. After sizing him up, he sneered and said, "Hey, you're new to Weicheng, right? Do you have any identification information?"
After hearing this, Ling Tian felt a little confused, and the boss turned around casually, noticed the situation here, and put down what he was holding and ran over.
"Hahahaha, Brother Wang, this is a friend of mine. He just came to Weicheng recently and hasn't gotten his identity yet. How about I take him there tomorrow to get rid of it? Give me a chance, Brother Wang. You know, I've been paying protection money to your Wang family."
Hearing the boss' words, Brother Wang looked up at him, then lowered his head to look at Ling Tian and said, "Boy, you can't speak for yourself? Let others speak for you?"
Brother Wang's speech was a little unclear, obviously he was drunk.
Therefore, Ling Tian did not take it to heart, but chuckled and said: "Brother Wang, I am indeed new here."
"Hmm~hiccup! Since you're new here, you'll have to pay an extra protection fee for every day you stay in the city. 500,000 mid-grade crystals. Show them now, and I'll let you go!"
???
Hearing the conditions given by this so-called Brother Wang, Ling Tian immediately rolled his eyes.
He really didn't expect that this guy would dare to ask for such a high price.
Five hundred thousand crystals, let alone outside, he couldn't even take them out in the house, and he had no intention of giving them to him.
However, at this moment, the barbecue restaurant owner said with an apologetic smile, "Brother Wang, stop joking. We don't have that many crystals anymore. How about this? Come in and sit down. Today's bill is free. Just enjoy yourself, Brother Wang. I'll call two more people for you. How about that?"
The boss's words brought a smile to Brother Wang's lips. He then nodded, stood up and walked into the store.
Before the boss left, he glanced at Ling Tian and then started making arrangements with Brother Wang.
After a while, the boss came out and whispered, "Please wait a moment. I'll explain the identity of that person to you later, little brother."
"it is good."
Ling Tian nodded and continued to wait.
After a while, a group of men in black walked into the barbecue restaurant and helped Brother Wang leave the barbecue restaurant.
The others also paid their bills and left one by one, and finally, Ling Tian waited for the boss to finish his work.
"call!"
The boss sat heavily in the chair, his face full of fatigue.
He took a sip of water and exhaled, "Huh, I'm so tired. I didn't expect there would be so many people here today."
The boss said, looking at Ling Tian, noticing his eyes, and smiled: "Are you curious about who that Brother Wang who appeared is?"
Ling Tian nodded.
"That person's identity is very simple. He's the one I told you about, from the Wang family."
Someone from the Wang family?
Of course Ling Tian remembered what the boss said yesterday, the heads of the three largest families in the entire Weicheng.
No wonder he is in the state of unity, no wonder he is so rampant, no wonder those men in black helped him walk instead of carrying him away directly.
It seems that the families here have a very high status?
Just as Ling Tian was pondering, the boss continued, "That Wang brother, although not a direct relative of the Wang family, is still considered a member of the Wang family. So he's lawless in Weicheng. He does nothing every day, but he still makes a lot of money, and he even eats and drinks for free."
"Did you see the group of people who came later, the ones who helped him walk?" the boss asked softly.
Ling Tian nodded: "Remember, when they left, they walked past me."
"Yes, they are the guards of the Wang family. Each of them is at the Unity Realm. If anyone disrespects the Wang family, they will directly attack. Even if they kill someone, the Wang family can protect them because in Weicheng, the head of the Wang family is the true lord of Weicheng."
After hearing this, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and noticed a detail: "Boss, you said that he is the real city lord of the Wang family. Could it be that the current city lord does not have the same say as the Wang family?"
"Of course not." The boss smiled and shook his head. "The current city lord is, after all, just a puppet. You may not know that the city lord of Weicheng became the city lord because he married a descendant of the Wang family, but all decisions still have to be made by the Wang family."
"In Weicheng, if you punched the city lord, you might have a chance of survival, but if you mess with the Wang family, you'll be dead. You can even be thankful if you're killed. Anyway, don't mess with these three families, especially the Wang family."
The boss whispered a warning, and Ling Tian nodded and said, "I'll remember that."
"Well, have you got the crystal?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian placed three high-quality crystals on the table.
Seeing the top-grade crystals he wanted, the boss nodded and said, "Okay, since you've got them, I'll help you make the contact. When everything is settled, you can give me the three crystals. That way, you'll feel better. What do you think?"
The boss's words were somewhat beyond Ling Tian's expectations.
I thought the boss would take the money first and then work.
What I didn’t expect was that they would inspect the goods first, and then take the crystal away after finishing the work.
You know what, his approach really makes people feel at ease. At least they don't have to think too much and can just wait quietly.
Ling Tian looked at the boss and nodded, "I see, boss. Are you planning to let me join the three major families? Or..."
"The three major families are not an option, but another family that is married to the three major families can be one, the Weicheng... Lin family!"
