I'm sorry

Reki simply bowed at the arrogant youth and said, "I'm sorry but the restaurant is really closed, if you have business with me, please make an appointment ahead of time." Reki said the line Ragna told her to say when someone starts harassing her, and she doesn't know what to say.

The arrogant young man and his cronies looked at Reki dumbfounded at what she said, then their battle intent shot up. Reki could only sigh, and started to panic about what to do... She wasn't afraid of their combined might, cause she has seen people who were stronger than them, she wasn't even bothered by the somehow thick killing intent, because Elise's killing intent was much scarier. The only problem she had was if they wreck the place, Ragna would get mad at her.

While Reki was still thinking of ways to get out of her current predicament, the arrogant young man started shouting. "Who the hell do you think you are?! Asking me, Ye Lie to to make an appointment?! If I want you to do something you must do it!"

Ye Lie tried to pierce Reki's shoulders using his blade, but before it reached, Reki use the palm of her hand and redirected the sword, and with her other hand guided the Ye Lie's arm to follow her movements, after she spun with Ye Lie, the arrogant young man was brought back to the spot he charged from. This was a move she made after understanding some parts of Tai Chi.

Ye Lie's cronies were shocked by the sequence of events, Reki on the other hand panicked even more. 'If I anger them too much, they might cause a bigger ruckus breaking things in the restaurant or worse they might actually break the restaurant. If Ragna finds out that I allowed them to do that after leaving me to protect the store, I bet he would kill me. When that monster gets angry he just kills everything.' Reki had cold sweat trickle down her forehead, when she thought of Ragna's reaction.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you? I'm sorry its because you charged at me, I did it out of reflex." Reki said to the group as sincerely as possible, coupled with a look of worry. When Ye Lie saw this reaction of her's, he was both ashamed and even more mad.

Still when Ye Lie recalled the exchange, he knew that the guy in front of him was more skilled than he was, he then looked at his cronies and shouted.

"Beat this sissy boy until he understands not to mess with us!" When his cronies heard his voice they attacked.

When Reki saw them coming at her, she really wanted to kill them, but if she did so, the bodies and the destruction of the restaurant will guarantee her demise. Ragna truly scared her to the core, after the battle with the Lian Clan she knew that Ragna was truly ruthless.

The group surrounded Reki and attacked in coordination with each other. Reki could only sigh, the first one tried to stab her chest just like Ye Lie, she took his sword arm and shoved him to another that was about to slash at her.

Two people at both her sides did a sideward slash, she quickly ducked on all fours, and kicked ankles of the one on her left, when she did so the enemy lost balanced almost hitting the other on the right.

Another one then came slashing towards her, she was about to evade but noticed that there was a table behind her. If Reki moved, the table would be sliced in half, she couldn't allow that. Reki then took the wrist of the opponent and flipped it, making the opponent drop his weapon, once she disarmed the other person, she kicked him to move back a little.

While Reki was trying her best to dodge and not break anything, she kept on saying sorry in hopes of making the other party cool down, but that had the opposite effect. The other party when they heard Reki saying sorry every time she evaded and unarmed them, they felt infuriated, not only was the sissy boy not taking them seriously he kept on saying sorry to them, as if he was hurting little kids.

Ye Lie who was watching the scene and heard Reki kept on saying sorry, wanted to puke blood. The sissy boy was actually toying with them. He was so ashamed of himself, that he wanted to find a hole and hide himself due to the embarrassment.

"Stop!" Ye Lie couldn't stand it anymore and ordered everyone to stop. Hearing their leader shout the group who were, bashed and bruised stopped.

"Let's go... Your lucky none of us are feeling well today, just know this, the second prince will deal with you in the Young Dragons tournament. You might think your strong, but your simply dirt compared to the second prince." After saying his cliche villain lines Ye Lie and his group exited the scene.

Seeing the restaurant finally empty, Reki sighed in relief. 'Have they finally calmed themselves. I knew if I say sorry as sincerely as possible they would understand.'

Reki was feeling happy that the other party although arrogant was able to understand her good intentions.

...

The group of young cultivators as well as Ye Lie looked at the restaurant one last time, gritting their teeth before retreating. 'Ragna you might seem impressive, but I know that your just at the Foundation Establishment realm, not even close to the second prince. When you two meet he will shame you then kill you. No one can challenge the second prince's prestige.'

While thinking of thoughts of revenge Ye Lie and his group left Cromer City with both shame and vengeful hatred.
