71 True Power - Chapter 71
Arianna was happy. She found a good place to work thanks to her friends. The place is called "Holy Green Garden", a place for people to eat and drink, also spend time. The workload is not much and the payment is good.
Arianna comes from a poor family, but from the age of seven she always wanted to spend time with nobles and rich people. She looked down on any people who were poor because of her egoistical nature. She would enter the beds of rich young people in a heartbeat and not even look at the eyes of poor men.
She is only twenty years old and believes that her beauty and everything she has are enough to marry a rich man or even a noble of the empire.
As she works during the day, she notices a man, older than herself and younger than most of the people in the Holy Green Garden. She shows an angry face and thinks in her mind.
"Look at his clothes. What kind of person does he think he is to come here to spend time?" I should be careful; he may have no money to pay at all. "
With these thoughts, she goes to serve the poor man. As she expects, the poor man only orders lemon beer, a specialty of Holy Green Garden but the cheapest drink in the whole place.
"If you do not have any coins to buy clothes for yourself, why are you here in the first place?"
"I will make you go !"
With these thoughts in her mind, Arianna takes the prepared lemon beer and then makes the simple act of falling down. The lemon beer in her hand flips out and all the beer in the whole cup pours down from the head of the poor young man.
The young man does not dodge or do anything at all.
Arianna starts talking directly.
"I tripped out, but you know you should pay for the drink as it costs 30 copper."
-
Felix takes a breath and then smiles. He looks at the woman and speaks.
"Call me your manager."
Arianna did not expect these words at all. Usually poor people would just give whatever they have in their pocket and tell them it is not a problem and then leave the place. But even if this guy is a poor man, if he were to talk about her manager, things would be problematic.
"It is not necessary. You do not need to pay for the drink. Just go. I will pay for it for you."
Arianna does not listen to Felix and just tells him to go as she is going to pay for it. At this time, an ordinary man with no money just eats what it happens to him and runs for it. There is no need to pay 30 copper for just a mistake.
Felix brandishes his need and sticks it to table in less than one second and speaks again.
"Call your manager, I said." One more word from you, other than calling your manager, and I will kill you. "
Arianna takes two steps back, while the other people in the chairs drink their tea and smile as they watch. Everyone who comes to this place has some sort of hidden agenda, powers, and backings; they are people with coins, and the majority of them have experience in this type of situation.They all knew that that guy was not lying or bluffing at all.
If she were to do anything else, he was going to kill her, and considering the power of that man and the intimdating gaze of him, it is certain to believe that he has some sort of backing and power, maybe enough coins to make himself not even punished at all.
If the empire did this, rich people and nobles would no longer support the empire and the city, and the empire would crumble over time.
Arianna hastily goes to the inside of a big stone building with green paint, and then, in two minutes, a middle-aged woman with long hair and luxury clothes leaves the building and looks at Felix. Compared to Arianna, this middle-aged woman did not show any kind of condescending gaze and looked down on Felix.
The attractive middle-aged woman gets closer to the table and asks with a kind tone.
"Hi, mister," I heard that you wanted to see the manager. I know the reason. I am Lavia. "
Felix takes a deep breath and starts talking.
p
As Felix says these words, a huge amount of energy radiates around them, proving that he is a Torch-Level Starsign user. Ordinary people can only feel a huge amount of pressure, but a starsign user would know the level of Felix with the energy he radiates. The woman named Lavia, the manager of the Holy Green Garden, is a level four starsign user. She is able to understand and know when Felix is telling the truth.
"The waitress, you have here from the moment I sat on this chair, looked down on me."
"Not only looked down, but made a fake trip and poured down lemon beer, my order on me."
"Then demanded the payment of lemon beer from me and wanted me to leave here."
"Now, as a manager, give me a reason to not kill her. With my power and backing, I believe you know that I am not going to get punished."
As Fraus said these words, before Lavia could respond, her attention was drawn away from Fraus and she noticed that more than five to six people were watching her; nobody was present, but they were watching from the sidelines. As she looked at these five people, all dressed almost identically to the man she spoke to,
As a huge amount of sweat started pouring down from the head of Lavia to the ground, she looked at the five people watching her from the sidelines and silently, she noticed their energy.
The Green Holy Garden, even without more power and backing, cannot offend an unknown group of five to ten torch-level beings.
"We have no power to take them down at all !"
Lavia brandishes a simple dagger and then, with a swift hand movement, the head of Arianna, who did not know what was happening, is cut.
A starsign level four being is not powerful at all in the eyes of people like Fraus.
