Chapter 1475: Not so Friendly Encounter
Tang Shaoyang always tried his best to be polite, or not to be rude even to a stranger. Back in the past, he did not really care that much about it. But since he had become an emperor, he was aware that his actions might reflect the image of his empire as well as his people. Lately, he had become more aware of it and tried his best to be polite. But there was always a time when he would revert back to the old himself, his current situation was one example.
"Even though we can't use [Detection] inside the city, I can sense that you are strong. If you join us, I think it's possible to hunt even Rank 5 Calamity," Castor's voice became increasingly excited as he mentioned the potential of hunting Rank 5 Calamity.
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow a little bit. He did not realize that [Detection] can't be used inside the city. He did not use the skill because it might come off as rude. The [Detection]'s target could feel the skill. It might come off rude if he used the skill to the stranger. That was why he did not use the skill.
He shook his head, "I don't think we are compatible for a party. And I don't like my meal getting interrupted. Can you leave me?"
As he was about to take his third bite of his rice and steak. Castor said, "I don't mind waiting for you to finish your meal." He smiled. It was either he was shameless or he was just dense not to realize the refusal of the invitation.
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, "I am not interested in joining your party. Can you leave me alone, now!?" He made sure it was clear that he did not like Castor's presence during his meal.
Despite the rejection, Castor had his smile. The man waved his hand at Tang Shaoyang, "Ai, you haven't listened to my proposal. Just finish your meal and then we talk about my proposal. I will not interrupt your meal anymore."
If Tang Shaoyang was annoyed at the first interruption. He was now irritated. The man just could not accept a no. He put the spoon in his bowl and stood up, "Can you bring my meal to my room, please? I will pay extra."
He just walked two steps from his table before two men blocked him. They wore casual clothes and had a sharp look as their gazes locked on Tang Shaoyang, "Aren't you being rude here? Castor just wants to have an amicable conversation with you."
Tang Shaoyang released another long sigh, "Is my luck that bad, or what? Why am I always attracting this kind of people." He talked to himself in a low voice. But of course, the people in this building could hear him with their sharp hearing no matter how low his voice was.
"What happens here?" A familiar voice cut in.
Tang Shaoyang recognized the voice. It was the voice of the female elf he met in the arena earlier. She approached them and asked the two men who blocked his path. The two men described the situation to her.
'Did that girl Ira say anything about fighting inside the city?' He asked the spirits. He did not remember asking Ira about fighting inside the city, where there was punishment for it or maybe even getting disqualified.
'She said you can kill other participants. But she never mentioned if you can kill them inside the city or outside the city. But it will be safe to assume you can't fight inside the city. From experience, the system did not allow the players to fight in its territory.' Zara replied quickly.
Agnes was surprised to see Tang Shaoyang again. She furrowed her brow after listening to what happened. Then she looked at Castor behind Tang Shaoyang, waving his hand while smiling. She let out a sigh.
"Are they your party? It seems like you are the only one with common sense. Tell them that I don't want to join your party!"
Tang Shaoyang walked past to the right after saying that to Agnes. However, the man who tried to block him tried to give him a bump on his shoulder. Their shoulders bumped, and the man was pushed back to his surprise. The man took it as a humiliation that he was getting pushed back.
The man turned around and tried to pull Tang Shaoyang's shoulder. It was at that moment that Tang Shaoyang released his aura and killing intent. Their eyes met, and the man's eyes widened in shock at the overwhelming aura. Not just him, but the whole first floor could feel his aura. The man's face paled as at that moment he felt like death approaching him.
"That's enough, Sir. I will take care of the rest. I apologize for the inconvenience," A man with a big build, two meters tall, and a thick beard appeared next to Tang Shaoyang. The man had a white apron and a smile on his face, pulling down the hand on Tang Shaoyang's shoulder, "We will bring the food to your room, and your meal will be on us."
As the man on the apron appeared, the aura and the killing intent were neutralized pretty quickly. As if it was never there before. Right after that, the door slammed open, "What's happened here? I sense a killing intent!"
"I am sorry for the trouble, Madam Ira. It's just these gentlemen who have a slight argument that gets out of hand. You don't have to worry, I have taken care of it." The man in the apron smiled and turned toward the two men who blocked Tang Shaoyang, "Since you are the one who caused the trouble and tried to disturb my customer, you have to pay his bill. And four of you, you all are banned from my establishment. Please stay in your assigned lodging instead of causing trouble here."
The two men were about to argue back, but Castor interrupted them, "That's enough guys. We will pay his bill. Not just his bill, but all your customers. We are very sorry to cause trouble in your establishment, Sir. We will leave now."
