Chapter 918: Storekeeper Tang Is Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Early in the morning, a convoy of carriages drove into Nanping City.

They were all drawn by white steeds, and each of the carriages carried the emblem of an auspicious beast.

The carriages did not slow down at all as they rampaged through the city streets.

“It’s the Tianlu Merchant Guild. They’re here again!” The people on the streets cried out. They seemed indignant.

“Damn those bastards!” Someone gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

Everyone in Nanping City knew that the people from the Tianlu Merchant Guild had been coming every day. Those people had taken a fancy to the rejuvenation pill recipe of Ritian Pavilion and wanted to force Storekeeper Tang to sell it at a low price.

Storekeeper Tang had been away, and the Tianlu Merchant Guild came every day to harass the store, making business impossible. They even threatened to tear down the store.

The people in the city respected Storekeeper Tang very much, so they did not like the behavior of those people. Moreover, the people from Tianlu Merchant Guild were especially arrogant and violent, which raised the ire of the citizens.

However, the Tianlu Merchant Guild wielded considerable influence in the southern region. No one dared to speak up against them.

“Make way! Make way!”

The convoy knocked over many stalls. After a short while, they arrived at the center of the city and stopped in front of Ritian Pavilion.

A young man jumped down from the carriage in front. When he looked up at the signboard, he could not help but grunt coldly.

“Men, take down the signboard!” He shouted loudly.

“Yes, Young Master!”

Several people jumped down from the carriages behind them, grabbed the signboard, and threw it on the ground.

The young man walked over and stepped on it.

Crack!

The signboard shattered.

“Ritian Pavilion? What a stupid name! From today on, Ritian Pavilion no longer exists in Nanping City!”

The young man stomped on the signboard and yelled loudly.

“Men, smash the door! Smash everything inside!”

The young man pointed at the door and yelled.

His underlings rushed forward and kicked the door to pieces.

“What… what are you doing?” Zhao Liu rushed out and shouted angrily.

“What am I doing? Isn’t it obvious? I’m tearing this place down!”

The young man took a step forward and said viciously.

“You forced my hand, Zhao. I promised to give you half a month to consider carefully, but your storekeeper ran away. Are you messing with us?

“Do you take the Tianlu Merchant Guild for fools? If the coward doesn’t show up, I take it that he doesn’t want his store anymore!”

“Storekeeper Tang isn’t a coward! I told you many times that he went to Channel City to get his pill maker certification. Why don’t you believe me?” Zhao Liu’s face flushed red.

“Hahaha!”

The young man burst out laughing.

“The pill maker certification? Does he think he can do it? No one will believe it! How about you ask the people around you. Do they believe it?

“Do you think it’s so easy to obtain the certification? Thousands of candidates apply every month, but only twenty will pass. Who does he think he is? You might think that he’s smart, but he’s nothing compared to the entire southern region!

“All you people here haven’t seen the vast world outside your little pathetic corner. Have you seen a real prodigy?”

He shouted loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the entire street.

Everyone looked angry, but they dared not make a sound.

That young man was the grandson of an elder of the Tianlu Merchant Guild. He was quite influential in the entire southern region.

The young man looked around and became more arrogant.

“That Tang guy is very stubborn, right? How dare he stand up against the Tianlu Merchant Guild! Today, I’ll show you the consequences of opposing us.

“Smash! Destroy everything!”

He waved his arms and yelled sternly.

His underlings rushed into the store, smashing the furniture and looting everything from the display counter.

“What… What are you doing?”

Zhao Liu was livid when he saw that. He wanted to stop them.

“Get lost!”

A burly man grunted and slapped Zhao Liu, sending him flying. He smashed into the counter and fell to the ground.

“Hmph! You overestimate yourself!”

The young man walked into the store with his hands behind his back and looked at Zhao Liu contemptuously.

Then, he looked around and smirked. “The location is not bad. From now on, this shall be a branch of the Tianlu Merchant Guild!”

He looked at Zhao Liu mockingly. “The people from Maple City have already agreed to it. Who do you think you are to oppose the Tianlu Merchant Guild?

“Men, take out our signboard and put it on!”

The young man waved his hand. His underlings took out their signboard and hung it at the entrance.

The words “Tianlu Store” were carved on the signboard.

“Not bad!”

The young man laughed out loud when he looked at the plaque. Then, he turned to look at the carriage in front of him. “What do you think of the signboard?”

An old man got down from the carriage. He looked up and said with a smile, “Not bad! Nanping City is bustling with business. This store has a lot of potential!”

The young man smiled and pointed at Zhao Liu who was still in the store. “Throw him out. He’s only wasting space!”

Immediately, his underlings picked up Zhao Liu and threw him out.

“Get lost, you dog!”

They spat on the ground and laughed loudly.

“All of you… just you wait. When my Brother Tang comes back, he’ll settle the score with all of you!” Zhao Liu climbed up and shouted angrily.

“Heh! I can’t wait for him to come back! What can he possibly do to me? I’ll kill him when I see him!” The young man sneered arrogantly.

To the young man, that kid was a country bumpkin with no background. Crushing him was as easy as crushing an ant.

The merchant guild would prefer not to use force, but if the kid did not want to comply, they had no qualms of becoming violent.

“Grandfather, let’s go in and plan the interior design. The store must be grand.”

The two of them laughed as they walked into the shop.

At that moment, a beam of light shot out from amid the crowd and hit the signboard.

Bang! The signboard exploded into pieces.

“Who? Who did that?”

The two of them stopped in their tracks, and their expressions became extremely hostile.

The burly men rushed out of the store and looked around fiercely.

Everyone on the street was shocked.

“Damn! Who dares to provoke the Tianlu Merchant Guild?”

“That’s a slap in their faces!”

The crowd looked around and cried out in surprise.

“That’s an unsightly signboard. It’s better off broken in pieces!” Someone in the crowd said coldly.

Everyone turned their heads.

Someone in a hooded cloak stood there. He uncovered the hood and revealed his face.

“It’s Storekeeper Tang! Storekeeper Tang is back!”

The entire street was in an uproar.
