Fighting was forbidden in the Lotus Tavern. The clerk, however, had a grudge against Austin and wanted him to become a laughingstock, so he decided to look on and do nothing. He would overlook the situation as long as that bastard was taught a lesson.
Austin sighed with profound resignation. 'I just want to have a peaceful meal here. Why are these people so annoying? Can't a man get a break?'
He acted calm, but he was waiting for their next move.
One of the three servants behind the young man sauntered towards Austin. In his eyes, Austin was merely a poor young man from a small town. It would surely be a piece of cake to teach this guy a lesson.
"Hey, brat. You should remember to be more respectful to our young master," the servant said with an evil smile.
When he was about five feet away from Austin, the latter stood up from his seat and all of a sudden, reached out his left hand to grab his collar. He attacked his internal organs with strong vital energy force.
The servant was drained of color. His four limbs relaxed and his heartbeat became extremely painful. He wanted to struggle, but he had no strength at all. His strength left his body!
He was at about level seven of Energy Gathering Realm. He thought he was already a somebody, but it turned out that he had underestimated Austin greatly.
Austin reached out his right palm.
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
The sound of slaps reverberated through the tavern. The servant passed out, and his face became black and blue.
Austin waved his arm and sent the servant flying backward. He slammed onto a table where the young man and the young woman sat. The dishes were smashed into pieces, and the all the food flew everywhere. The woman named Sissy became covered with disgusting grease and some vegetable leaves. The remains of the food landed on her head. The broth streamed down her cheeks.
"Aaaaaargh! What the hell!"
Sissy yelled at the top of her lungs.
"I swear I will kill you! You are dead meat! You bastard! You will surely pay for this! No one can save you!"
roared the young man as he wiped the grease off his face. He was absolutely livid.
"Kill him!" he ordered his other two servants.
They both sprang to their feet, drawing a broadsword. They swore to themselves that they would chop the bastard into ten thousand pieces and make him pay.
Calmly, Austin carried out the Violet Royal Sword. It gave out a dozen streaks of sword-lights. The servants' arms that held the broadswords were cut off by the sword-light. The broadswords were then cut into several pieces and were scattered on the floor.
Austin dashed towards his opponents and threw two punches at them.
Bang! Bang!
The two servants flew out the Lotus Tavern through the window of the second floor. They were thrown into the street!
All of the three servants were at about level seven of Energy Gathering Realm. They could never withstand Austin's single blow.
The young man and his companions dampened his day. Austin was very annoyed, so he decided to teach them a lesson.
He walked towards their table and stood behind the young man.
"Why not keep your companions company? Don't just stay here and be a killjoy. You should take part in this too."
When he was finished speaking, he threw another two punches and sent the young man and Sissy flying out the window.
"Great! Finally! I can have my meal now."
Satisfied, Austin clapped his hands and sat back in his seat. He decided to continue to read the menu, so he could finally order and eat. . . .
Meanwhile, two men sat at another table on the second floor. One was a handsome young man, while the other was a middle-aged man with a pair of sharp eyes.
"Matt, what do you think of the young man's cultivation base and strength?" the young man asked his companion.
"Young Master, he tried to disguise his true cultivation base when he fought them. However, I could still tell from the fluctuation of his vital energy that he must have reached the preliminary stage of Earth Realm already," Matt answered.
"Preliminary stage of Earth Realm!"
exclaimed the young man in disbelief.
"He looks very young. I guess he's no more than 17. How could he possibly reach the preliminary stage of Earth Realm? Unbelievable!"
"Exactly! Besides, judging from his punches, he has a remarkable physical strength. I guess his single punch would equal to 1, 000 pounds.
Based on the swordsmanship that he just used, he has already comprehended the sword intent. Its level should be above level 1," Matt said in a whisper.
The young man's jaw dropped and he stared at Austin in awe. It was as if he were some monster. 'Is this ordinary-looking guy really that strong?' he mused.
Nevertheless, he never doubted Matt's judgment. Matt was an experienced cultivator, and he seldom bet on the wrong horse. His judgment was never wrong.
That was the reason why he depended on Matt's companionship and respected him deeply.
"Matt, this guy is exactly the person I've been looking for. I think we should make friends with him. With his help, I'll stand a good chance in competing for my father's position."
"I guess so. He's about 16 or 17. He has reached the preliminary stage of Earth Realm in such a young age. He is talented in cultivation. You won't regret making him your friend, Young Master. Now's your time. Jump at the chance!" said Matt.
