Rexford just continued to snack as the others settled down and sat at the table. The atmosphere was really pleasant considering what was said a few minutes ago.
An Youya, Fang Qiong, Zhong Yaoyao, Ranran, and Rongfei sparingly got along pretty well. Biao and Rexford just talked a little about those Yang Chao and he met. Yang Chao himself had stepped to speak with his father about something urgent.
From a sneaky spot, a few admirers of Xu Rongfei were gossiping. Wishing bad intent on Rexford for sitting with so many beauties especially the girl they worshipped practically. But they then started arguing about An Youya and Fang Qiong.
"If Chu Minghui sees this, he would lose it." He looked were the most influential in their group was looking. "Whats got you so intrigued?"
"Well, Chu Minghui just walked in and he is heading over there now."
"No freaking way!"
'Things just got interesting.' Li Yichen thought this would set things right. "Let's keep a mindful watch on what happens. In fact, let's let a few people in school know about this."
Understanding what he meant, the lackeys took out their phones and open the cameras. Switching to video mode, they moved to get a better view and catch the audio better.
As the group carried on chitchatting away, a burgundy hair man walked over to their table. He was of decent size from the training received in the military but nothing to impressive.
Well, Rexford thought so anyway. This was Chu Minghai, a young man with may to much testosterone and given to much leeway with things.
"Feifei, come with me. I have something to tell you." He looked only at her and gave her an order, not a request for her to come with.
"Can't we just talk here?" Xu Rongfei's whole body language changed in an instant. She looked around the table looking for help. Biao sipped his drink while Rexford was using his phone laughing a little.
"No, it is better to be said in private." He looked around the table pausing on An Youya and Fang Qiong. In his eyes, they both were of high quality and barely beat Rongfei. 'Since when did she hang out with people like this?'
"Making me come to her, I swear this is such a problem." Biao stood up abruptly. "I have to see to this, I will be back afterward." With a cue from Rexford, he left pretty quickly. In his haste, he didn't even notice Chu Minghai.
Mostly because he was that weak compared to himself.
"Feifei, come on!" He said aggressively. Grabbing the teen's hand, he almost lifted her from the seat. But she wiggled free quickly enough. "I just want to talk with you. Don't be like that."
"She doesn't want to go with you guy!" Ranran barked.
"You should just leave!" An Youya said. The others nodding in agreement with her.
"Mind your own business! This is a personal matter!"
*Swirl!* Rexford absorbed the violent energy produced by the young man then stood up. He was actually going to leave. This was none of his business after all. Far as he was concerned she didn't fight back hard enough or looked scared enough that he needed to get involved.
Surely someone else would interfere with everything happening like this in the open.
'He will do something about this.' Fang Qiong thought seeing Rexford move. But she was in for a surprise. "Eh!?"
"Ahh!" Stifling a yawn, Rexford decided it was time to mingle with some people right quick. But a grab from behind stopped him. "What is it?" Rongfei was holding him looking like a scared kitten. "What's wrong with you?"
"She doesn't want to go with him." An Youya said. She then pointed at Chu Minghai who was getting very upset by the second from the two close contact. "And he won't take a hint."
"Then call security or the cops you dumbasses. It's that simple. With all these witnesses present, connections won't matter. Take out your phone and record if you must." Rexford's mind was elsewhere not even paying full attention to the situation. "If you don't let me go I will drag you along with me."
"Get away from her!" Chu Minghai shouted. The dumbest thing he did however was do a basic palm thrust at Rexford. Not to mention if he was a normal person that would have caused pain to Rongfei that was behind him, but it gave an excuse for Rexford's following action. "Tch!"
*Thump!* An audible thump was heard. Most of the people in the dining area thought a fight was about to break out.
"Boy, you really want to stand against me?" Chu Minghai was about to punch with his other hand but he dropped to his knees instead. "Guu!" Faster than any of them saw, Rexford delivered a throat punch to the young man.
"You were about to talk that good shit, but look at you now. On the floor gasping for air like a fish out of water." Rexford mocked. He then grabbed him by the hair lifting him to eye level. "I just don't understand why you wanted to mess with me of all people. It's like.. you want to die in front of so many people."
*Brrrpp!* Rexford raised his other hand up with black light gathering around it. He moved it slowly towards Chu Minghai's eyes getting ready to poke them out.
The onlookers started to shake in fear. Some of them use to fights due to business and other matters but none ever saw someone get mutilated before.
"Now.. keep your eyes open..." Rexford's eyes were glowing gold as he stared at his victim. He felt a strange new type of qi generating in the area. 'Hmm, I have developed another Aspect, how delicious it is!'
The black qi was a little lighter than usual and was that of Fear! Something he definitely could gather in good quantity if done just right in places.
"That's enough Chen Fan!" An Youya grabbed his arm but couldn't even budge him. Fang Qiong grabbing ahold as well unable to make him budge with their combined strength. "He has learned his lesson!"
Zhong Yaoyao watched with big eyes. Her eyes scanned the room as know one made a move at first not wanting to get involved at all. Ranran actually ran to get security by the looks of it. So there was that at least.
She passed by Chang Wen and Si Yingxin who were walking after hearing the commotion. Ji Xingyu already having given up on changing things and was out front talking with Yang Chao who finished his call with his father.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Rexford didn't even look at her as he stared at Chu Minghai. "You are not one of my people or share my bed or counsel, you words are nothing. "He" attacked me. Not the other way around. In the heat of the moment, he was injured. That's what the police report will say anyway."
"He is part of the military, you can't just end his career like this!" Rongfei shouted. Rexford looked at her causing a fright to run up her body. "I.. just don't want to cause trouble."
"Oh.. I see. Make sure you never come near me again. Since you do not want to cause him trouble. I mean, after all, you did nothing really to stop your personal situation and got me involved by getting behind me. Such a useless thing you are." Rexford said with distaste. He hated people like this the most. "The same as him really, just a fucking useless thing."
It was said with such venom, a few of the onlookers felt bad Xu Rongfei.
*Fwip!* With a toss, he sent Chu Minghai flying into a table. The food and drinks covering him up completely making a mess of things.
"The Special Forces that trained you must have really dropped the ball on you." Rexford took out his phone and took a picture as a keepsake. "You didn't even think over the whole situation before acting. It is such a bad problem people like you have. I mean..what would you have done if my bodyguard would have thought you were a threat?"
Biao had walked in having finished his problem. Walking over to Rexford he looked very much like a bodyguard really.
"You go to far Rexford!" Si Yingxia shouted. After hearing what was said to Rongfei, his crush pushed him over the edge. "Apologize to her at once!" He brushed the hands that tried to pull him back off.
"Xu Rongfei is a big girl and can take care of herself! Stop getting bent out of shape over someone will never notice you!" Chang Wen shouted incensed. Her words more a wake up call for herself than him. He even ignored walked towards Rexford still. "You idiot!" Her eyes misted up as she started to cry.
*Ping!* Rexford heard something give way and looked over to Chang Wen. It was not something in the physical sense but on the spiritual level really.
"Hmm?" Looking over as his eyes glowed a little, he could see a black qi from around the teen. It was so.. volatile that Rexford had to fight from licking his lips. Something about her called to him in a primal sort of way. "Well, that just won't do."
As Rexford walked over to speak with Chang Wen, Si Yingxia went directly towards him. He reared back getting ready to punch Rexford but someone else took care of him easily enough.
*Wham!* Biao delivered a punch so fast no one heard a sound, except the body of Si Yingxia hitting the wall and fainting.
"Take a little nap brat." Biao dusted his hands off as if he just took out the trash. "Master, what are you doing?" He was curious that Rexford pulled out a handkerchief and actually cleaned up Chang Wen. 'What about these beauties here? I have no idea what he is thinking going for her?'
"Chang Wen, easy there just settle down." Rexford picked her up and sat her down in a chair. Taking a very gentle care making sure not to ruin her makeup. Not only were the guests shook, but so was Chang Wen herself. "I told you he would hurt you, I would no."
"Why would you know that?"
"Because bad males no each other. And I am a really bad one." Rexford gave her a smile that made quite a few women smile a little giddy. Their partners would benefit from it later. "I want you to do a small thing for me." Pulling out a black card, he passed it over to her. "Find a good friend and talk to them about what is going on with you, not your parents or a teacher but a good friend. Then call this number after that happens. Can you do that for me?"
"I.. I can." Chang Wen put the card away not even reading or looking it over. She was still confused. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"Hmm, I don't really know. But... I know I want to find out why. Maybe I am smitten with you." Rexford gave her a wink and pulled away. "Hopefully we can find out why in a few days."
"What's going on here!?" An outraged voice called out. It was the manager of the auction. He pushed through rudely not showing any care to the guests. "Who is causing a ruckus!?"
"Kuff kuff!" Chu Minghai recovered enough to talk. A few people laughing as the young man covered in vegetables and tartar sauce. "Man.. manager Zhu, my name is Chu Minghai."
