I signaled for everyone to quiet down.
“Those who are injured, go and rest. Remember to take pictures as a memento. This is a time of peace. It’s rare for Sky City to get into fights.
“Those who are not injured, clean up the place. Remember to take pictures too. We need to record all our losses. We will demand reparation from those who did the damage. We’ll ask for double the compensation. Sky City is not a place where people can just barge in and leave. If we do not settle this score, Sky City will be dissolved tomorrow.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, Sister Xing!” The unified answer caused my ears to hurt.
Brother Hu’s confidant, Peng Zai, came to me. He was very clever. “Sister Xing, Brother Hu told me to stay behind to wait for you.”
I nodded. “How are their injuries? Serious?”
Peng Zai’s eyes were red as he nodded.
I patted his shoulders. “Send someone to watch over them. Don’t worry about the medical fees. Arrange everything with their families too. I’ll visit them when this is over.”
“Yes, Sister Xing!” Peng Zai turned to arrange everything.
I returned to the office. Thanks to my people’s valiant effort, the office didn’t suffer much damage.
I pulled up the footage and focused on the parts where there was property destruction. I was not anxious because this was just the beginning. I could understand why the Shi family was pushed to such desperate measures. But I bet they didn’t remember they had once done this to Jing Ni.
Su Shen and Su Qian stood behind me as I cut out the footage bit by bit. They sighed from time to time.
“That row of vases is a gift from Master Qi.”
“If Master Si come back to find his bar counter like this, he’d be fuming.”
“Hmm, the kid there is quite skilled.”
“Yes, we should challenge him to a duel.”
“Speaking of, our people lack real fighting experience. I see much hesitations in their movements.”
“They are too civilized. They have brought shame to the gang. Look at how they’re beaten up!”
“Su Qian, this is urgent. We must tighten their training. This is too embarrassing! They don’t even act like proper gang members!”
“That’s because we don’t resort to violence every time. In contrast, the other party is professional… ruffians. Our people at Sky City are not. We’re more civilized, right, Sister Xing?”
Su Qian hugged her shoulders and nudged me.
“Fine, Sister Qian, you have made your point.” I rolled my eyes at her. Then I scratched my head. “You two honestly think Sky City is too weak?”
Su Qian and Su Shen shrugged.
I sighed. “Compared to the Shi Family’s lackeys, our people are like office workers. We can afford to be civilized when we have the ability to protect ourselves, but now, that is definitely not the case.”
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Su Shen said, “Other than Brother Hu’s team, there aren’t actual gang members among us. Even the real gangsters have restrained themselves because ‘our Sister Xing is a student at M university.’ Everyone is afraid of embarrassing you and bringing down your reputation.”
The two shared a smile.
“So you’re saying this is my fault?”
The two of them nodded at the same time and said in unison, “That’s right!”
They’re really not giving me any face at all!
“Brother Xiao Jing and Brother Gao Da train these people, so they have to take responsibility too!” I shoved the blame to the instructors!
Su Qian covered her lips and coughed.
Su Shen smiled, “As expected, our Sister Xing is pushing the blame to someone else again.”
I signaled for everyone to quiet down.
