54 53 "Commotion in Restaurant"

When Ling Tian stood for his departure to Dragon valley for hunting but...

*Growl*

He was stopped by a Growling sound coming from his stomach.

"Man, in all this commotion I forgot about that I haven't eaten anything since past 9 months. I should eat something before going to Dragon Valley. Little buddy, you must be hungry too... let's go eat something." Ling Tian said to Little white

...

Ling Tian walked out of the room and went to the restaurant's lower floor to look for an empty table to sit at.

"Customer, what would you like to order?" A waiter welcomed Ling Tian with a smile as Ling Tian sat down in his seat.

"A plate of stir-fried vegetable meat, Curry, as well as any 4 side dishes and every speciality of the restaurant. I also want a bowl of white rice." Ling Tian casually ordered almost all the dishes from the menu.

"Alright. customer, please wait for a bit."

Sitting at the table in boredom, Ling Tian casually looked around the restaurant. It wasn't that large, and within Ziyou City, it could only be qualified as middle-sized. However, it was currently dinner time, and quite a few merchants and mercenaries had gathered within the restaurant to eat. The majority of the 30-40 tables had been filled; only 5 remained open.

The restaurant was extremely noisy, as quite a few mercenaries were speaking loudly to each other, without any consideration for those around them.

"Customer, your food has arrived." Without giving much time for Ling Tian to wait, the waiter quickly brought over the dishes that Ling Tian had ordered, and carefully placed them on his table.

While Ling Tian ate Dinner, he also listened in on the idle gossip from the surrounding mercenaries. Although the restaurant was extremely chaotic, the mercenaries gathered here had all traveled extensively, and quite a bit of interesting and up-to-date matters could be learned from their words.

At this moment, a few mercenaries walked into the restaurant. There was a total of five men; three of them looked like 20-30 year old youths, while the other two looked like 40 year old middle aged men. They wore the same cyan colored robes, and identical silver colored emblems in front of their chests. All of them were from the same mercenary group, and judging by their emblems, the group wasn't of a low level either.

Five people entered the restaurant together. They all looked around for seats, however, it was currently the peak hours, and all of the restaurants' tables were already filled. There were no available spaces left.

"Such bad luck, to think that there are no more seats." A slim, frail youth wearing a cyan colored robe cursed.

A youth stood on one side, his gaze sweeping across the restaurant. It finally stopped on the table that Ling tian was currently occupying by himself and he laughed, Li Hong, who said there aren't any more spots? Look, isn't that a free table right there? Even though it'll be a bit crowded if we all cram into a single table, it's not impossible."

Aside from Ling Tian, there were still quite a few people occupying tables alone. However, that group of people could tell the others were not people they could pick fights with. Only Ling Tian appeared to be completely powerless. Thus, the youth's attention naturally locked onto Ling Tian.

The people's gazes all gathered onto the white-clad Ling Tian. After noticing that Ling Tian's appearance didn't look over 17 or 18, they smiled evilly. Afterwards, the five walked in together.

Once he arrived in front of Ling Tian, the youth called "Li Hong" patted Ling tian's shoulder, and said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Young friend, this table is now occupied by us. It's better if you switch to another."

Ling tian knit his brows and raised his head. His gaze swept across the expressions of the five people. Once he determined that the five weren't actually that strong, his heart immediately calmed, and said, "I'm sorry, but I also need this table right now." Ling Tian wasn't at all afraid of the consequences. Although two of the people were quite old, their strength wasn't very significant. one level 3 Martial Human Realm, Two level 2 Martial king realm, one level 3 Martial King realm and One Level 1 Martial emperor realm Experts.

After all, the strength of one's power didn't solely depend on age. There were some people with outstanding talent, and had become renowned peak level experts at a young age. On the other hand, some of the more mediocre people would spend their whole lives unable to cultivate their spiritual qi.

Li Hong's expression sank, and coldly stared at Ling tian as he said, "Brat, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you're wise, get out of my sight right now."

Although Ling tian's situation was naturally drawing the attentions of others in the restaurant, however such things happened quite often in this city, and wasn't anything new. Therefore, everyone watched the situation unfold, as if watching a show, and had no intention to help out.

Upon hearing Li Hong's words, Ling Tian's originally nonchalant face turned into one full of killing intent. Although Ling Tian looked weak but he was still a Level 1 Martial King Realm warrior.

Gingerly putting down his chopsticks, Ling Tian's lips moved slowly as he spoke, "With your paltry numbers, you don't have the right to make me move from this table."
