Chapter 2917 - 2918: Provoking Elder Tong

Chapter 2917: Chapter 2918: Provoking Elder Tong

As soon as Ye Luo entered, the warm welcome he expected did not occur.

On Earth, Ye Luo had been to such places before, and upon entering, he was enthusiastically embraced on both sides!

But now, after a few women glanced at Ye Luo, no one came to greet him! This left him a bit sullen!

Was it because he took on the appearance of a middle-aged man? That shouldn’t be right! There was an incredibly unsightly old man beside him, whose body was already festering, yet over a dozen women surrounded him, each eager to cling to him.

Quickly, Ye Luo discovered the problem.

It was clear that in this Assassin Alliance city, clothing is the primary indicator of identity.

For instance, the old man’s clothes glimmered faintly with gold and were infused with mana, indicating high status at a glance.

And Ye Luo’s clothes? They were simply ordinary fabric, which Ye Luo hadn’t noticed at first, but now compared to the others, the difference was clear.

It seemed everyone was aware of Ye Luo’s identity as a third-level overlord.

Such an identity normally wouldn’t be seen in this Fragrance Pavilion, as there are few tasks in a third-level city, making survival challenging; this Fragrance Pavilion is simply not a place for third-level overlords.

Thus, nobody paid attention to Ye Luo.

Such a situation naturally couldn’t deter Ye Luo; he immediately walked to a table and sat down boldly.

"A guest has arrived; why is the tea not served yet?" Ye Luo shouted loudly.

Now, quite a few people finally turned their eyes to him.

Immediately, mockery appeared undisguised in the eyes of those guests.

This is the Assassin Alliance; everyone who comes here is a top assassin, and while there are rules here, those only apply to the business people in this place; as for the assassins, who knows how many perished in this city each day.

"Do you even consider yourself a guest? Just now, I wanted to kick you out, and you still dare to shout!"

Immediately, a middle-aged woman came over and said coldly.

Though somewhat older, she retained her charm; her skin was delicate, giving her a unique allure!

Once she appeared, many guests revealed greedy looks, but due to her status as the store manager, many assassins dared not pursue her.

"Oh? Why am I not considered a guest? My clothes may not be fancy, but clothes are just external. Look at that old thing over there, his clothes might be flashy, but his insides are already festering, don’t you find that disgusting?" Ye Luo pointed to the old man nearby.

Anyway, Ye Luo felt disgusted at even a glance at him.

However, as soon as those words fell, true silence fell around them.

Many previously looked at him contemptuously, but now with eyes full of shock, even the women next to the old man looked at Ye Luo like he was already dead.

Ye Luo had already known this old man wasn’t simple, but judging by everyone’s expression, he seemed to be a big shot in the Assassin Alliance.

After that, people reacted and began cursing Ye Luo angrily.

"How dare you! You’re just a third-level overlord, yet you dare insult Elder Tong!"

"This brat should be killed, quickly bow and apologize to Elder Tong!"

"Once Elder Tong gives the order, I’m willing to serve his command!"

Immediately, the assassins around them were shouting indignantly.

Obviously, they were trying to curry favor with Elder Tong.

Ye Luo understood; it turned out to be an elder of the Assassin Alliance, a truly high status.

Elder Tong was now looking at Ye Luo with an ominous gaze, emanating a dangerous aura like a tiger or wolf.

He stood a bit straighter, and his formidable presence suddenly erupted, causing the women surrounding him to retreat in astonishment.

He was actually at the realm of a half-step Martial Emperor!

The crowd gazed at the old man in horror, knowing Elder Tong’s noble identity, though few realized his realm was this terrifying!

In that case, this kid would definitely not walk out of the Fragrance Pavilion.

The middle-aged woman gave Ye Luo a complex look, surprisingly showing a bit of apology, which left Ye Luo puzzled.

But before Ye Luo could think further, Elder Tong had already started walking over slowly.

"Kid, how do you want to die?" Elder Tong asked in a hoarse voice.

Ye Luo chuckled and shook his head, "I think your life must be dull, and you endure endless pain every day. How about I send you off early?"

Hearing this, everyone gasped again.

Did the kid really have a death wish?

Elder Tong laughed angrily, "Kid, dare you battle me!"

Apparently, Elder Tong did not want to fight in this Fragrance Pavilion, since if the two started a battle, the Fragrance Pavilion would likely be leveled to the ground.

Thus, this city has dedicated battle grounds; for instance, each Fragrance Pavilion has an independent battle space, but the question is whether both parties are willing to enter it.

For example, if Ye Luo refused now, then as long as he was in the Fragrance Pavilion, Elder Tong would basically not make a move.

After all, he was an old customer here, and wouldn’t disrespect the shopkeeper.

"That’s fine, since you’re so eager, I’ll fulfill your wish!"

The crowd was utterly speechless!

Even that middle-aged woman gazed at Ye Luo in surprise.

An assassin’s primary concern is survival, for an assassin, face and status are not important; life is paramount!

There aren’t many assassins like Ye Luo willing to throw away their lives.

Elder Tong squinted his eyes, nodded slightly, and headed toward the corner.

After walking a few steps, his figure vanished, entering the battle space.

Ye Luo chuckled lightly, and followed slowly.

"Kid, are you really courting death?"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman transmitted her voice to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo gave her a surprised look; wasn’t she supposed to be in the old man’s camp?

"Kid, if you change your mind, I can save your life!" she continued to transmit.

Ye Luo’s smile deepened, "If I win, can you accompany me for one night?"

The middle-aged woman immediately fell silent.

"Speak again when you win!"

Her transmitted voice turned a bit cold, clearly she was already angry.

Then, Ye Luo stepped into the space; at this moment, the old man stood with hands behind his back, his aura extraordinary, posing like a master.
