C16. Making Ruckus

Kai Feng hurriedly said, "Cash, I have cash." he brought some cash with him before leaving for an emergency.

"Oh! Then it's all good." The associate said while running his hands together.

The associate again glanced at the list and flicked some beads on an abacus. "Six silver spirit herb and five Flaming grass root and nine bones needles of the soul realm Agina beast. In total, 11,800 silver according to the ingredients. Same as usual, pay first, then you get the ingredients."

Kai Feng flushed and coughed fakely twice. He lightly knocked on the counter and said "...Erm, ok, I will pay it but before that, I want to speak to the person in charge."

"What?" The associate's face darkened. "No money!? How dare you ask for ingredients with no money? How dare you waste my precious time with your nonsense!?"

Kai Feng never intended to take out his money as he didn't have much to begin with but even if he did, it was like a few drops in the ocean. He brought roughly 100 silver coins with him.

Since he couldn't use his money to buy the ingredients, he would have decided to bring out the medallion but before that, he decided to also discuss the note's matter with the person in charge.

"Go out the door and take a right. Read the medicine Palace's rules. Is it that easy to speak to the head? Are you a prince or minister, or an esteemed duke?" The associate said arrogantly.

Although Kai Feng has already visited the medicine Palace a few times, the associate never even bothered to remember his face.

The associate got angry when Kai Feng didn't pay the money upfront as the associate doubted that Kai Feng didn't have money. Not only that he dared to demand to meet the person in charge.

"You want to speak to the person in charge? Do you know how busy the head of the medicine Palace is? Each of his minutes is worth tens of thousands of silver coins or more, how would he have time for someone like you? Can you bear the responsibility and costs of wasting their time?" The associate warned Kai Feng.

"If you want your ingredients then pay up, if not then get out of my way and don't disturb us from doing business. Huh, I wasted my quiet a lot of time for no reason." The associate started showing his annoying side.

The associate flapped his hands with an impatient expression on his face, his spittle almost spraying Kai Feng's face, and the clearly visible irritation. The level of apparent distaste was the same as if the associate was shooing away an annoying fly.

It wasn't as if Kai Feng hadn't received his fair share of contempt and disdain at the medicine Palace before. It wasn't as if he was someone who has never taken that kind of treatment. But the truth was, he had endured far too much during this time, to the point where he started to get a little angry.

Kai Feng hadn't done anything wrong so why was he getting such treatment. If he acted too kind then not only the medicine Palace associates but everyone will be cocky in front of him. He didn't pay upfront that doesn't mean he's a beggar.

Did they really have to be such snobs? Really have to be such dicks?

Kai Feng could bear it no longer, this associate's particular attitude was the straw that broke the dam, he erupted --

A metallic token of sorts was slapped hard onto the counter.

Kai Feng gave the associate a resounding slap across the face, "Open your worthless eyes and take a good look at what this is!" Kai Feng erupted like a volcano and released all his pent-up anger on the associate. He had this kind of guts because of the medallion.

The associate was seeing stars from the force of that slap. He held his face, disbelief writ plain in his eyes.

Not only the associate but all the people present there froze they couldn't believe what they have just seen. This sudden change in behavior shocked the associate for a couple of seconds, but when he came to his senses he saw the metallic token. It was not just any token.

"Wha...This...t-the golden dragon jade medallion!?...How!?..Why!?" The associate was stunned seeing the Golden Dragon engraved medallion.

"The person in charge's every minute worth tens of thousand silver coins? Would I have to let you know that this medallion's worth can't be measured with money?" Kai Feng said with confidence. He was getting good at acting as haughty as some lord. It was because the medallion held such worth.

There were three types of medallion issued by the medicine palace, bronze, silver, and golden but the Jade medallion was issued by the first king himself. Its worth was more than any other medallion.

"How dare you delay my business, If I want, I can make your higher-ups fire you and kick you out of the medicine Palace! What would you do if you lose such an important job as an associate in the medicine palace? Do you think you are such an all-powerful employee?" Kai Feng said in a domineering manner.

This was the medicine palace! One of the most prominent places in the entire imperial capital!

In an ordinary day of work, even noble and powerful families had to be restrained, polite and accommodating when they came here.

But today, one of the associates had been hit! And by someone who was dressed very plainly, someone who was obviously not the influential and wealthy noble like duke nor someone from the big shot families.

Some other associates also came running after seeing the ruckus. They didn't see the medallion placed on the counter and immediately shouted, "Someone's come to cause trouble in the medicine palace, he's beating people up!"

A crowd of fully armored warriors with weapons rushed out immediately as soon as the scream resonated in the sounding. Someone who seemed to hold a position of authority also walked out from the back.

He had a dignified aura around him. A person in his sixties or so. He had the fourth level of the spirit realm. He was an elder in the medicine palace, Wang Un. The sight of the plainly dressed, ordinary-looking person

making a ruckus in his esteemed palace through him into a rage.

He released his powerful almost unbearing aura. He was about through Kai Feng out of the medicine palace when the shiny golden dragon jade medallion on the counter caught his eye. His expression drastically changed almost crying.

"Elder Un, that's the retarded fool who dared to the associate of the medicine palace and made a ruckus here! It was not a beating against the associate, but also one aimed towards the hallowed name of the medicine palace!" The associate who had been come after the incident.

As soon as he'd finished --

A cleaner, crueler slap also landed nicely on his cheek. That slap flung him a few meters away from the place he was standing. But this time, it was administrator He who had slapped the associate.

"You worthless people, did your eyes only for show? How dare you retort against an esteemed guest? It was a well-deserved slap, you'd deserve it if you were beaten to death!" Wang Un said in anger. It was not something both the associates and the people were expecting.

Having rebuked the associate, The elder Un's menacing expression morphed into a face wreathed with smiles, as if spring had returned to the earth.

"Sir, my underlings were blind and have offended your noble self."

He turned his head to yell gruffly at the warriors, "What the hell are you all doing? Sitting around watching and wasting time? Go and guard the gate properly, Scram!" Wang Un shouted.
