Inside the luxurious city lord's mansion, the city lord sat behind an old wooden table with a solemn expression on his face.
He had received the response from the leader of the Celestial Heavenly Store, and he was not pleased at all.
He was the city lord of Dongping City; how dare a mere leader of a newly opened store keep him waiting?
Though furious, he did not act rashly when he remembered the superior technique in the store's hands.
As the city lord, he was the strongest martial artist in the city, and he wouldn't allow another person to overshadow him.
Dropping the scroll in his hand, he stared at the open window, and his calm expression turned sinister.
"I hope they know what is best for them…else…" he muttered, a sharp glint flashing across his face.
Slowly, his expression returned to normal as he continued to read the pile of scrolls submitted before him.
