Chapter 398: Episode 221 Various Outrages

Many people in this world stubbornly love to throw tantrums and act shamelessly, and Fire Knife Village is no exception. Everyone has their own set of "treasures," but the tactics of the woman before me were evidently quite different from those commonly seen by Great Saint on ordinary days.

That woman came up to me with a blank stare, and as her hand was about to touch where it shouldn’t, Great Saint, despite being accustomed to being slippery and smooth, couldn’t help feeling a bit timid. He hurriedly dodged backward, swiftly jumped to the side, and didn’t forget to swipe the cold sweat that instantly broke out on his forehead.

What’s that saying again? The softhearted fear the hardhearted, and the hardhearted fear those who are truly desperate. Although this woman is just a woman, she’s daring to an extreme, tsk tsk, not someone to mess with, definitely not!

The plump woman, smug with victory, tightened her grip on Hua Xiaomai’s wrist by a notch and looked around the scene with a twinkle in her eye that seemed to defy the world. With a sneer, she said, "Hmph, I thought your Sauce Garden was something special, but it turns out it’s all second-rate goods! How dare you try to steal Wan’s business with just that? You eat your fill for a couple of days and forget who you are. Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson!"

After speaking, she turned to the seven or eight burly men who came with her and shouted, "I didn’t bring you along to freeload. Are you standing there waiting for wine or dishes? This little wench is stealing my business, and I can’t let her off easily. Smash all the sauce jars in this yard, every single one of them!"

The men looked at each other, hesitating and not moving immediately.

"Well, get on with it!" The woman became impatient and stamped her foot fiercely.

That woman was incredibly strong, and Hua Xiaomai genuinely felt as if her wrist might snap. She gave a heavy sigh inside her heart after a rough glance at everyone’s faces in the yard.

Great Saint, who often stood up for others, was now unwilling to recklessly jump out. He was only blocking those burly men as much as he could, trying to keep them away from the sauce jars, but ultimately he was not very effective. Besides him, Master Lei and his wife were both honest folks. They looked worried but were at a loss of what to do, their mouths half-open without being able to utter a word. As for the others, let’s not even talk about them, especially that little rascal, who either due to his young age or thin courage, looked like he was about to cry, clinging desperately to the wall and not daring to come any closer.

...Although none of this was their fault, but...

Meng Yuhuai was likely not going to arrive immediately, and if they were truly suppressed by this woman right now, not to mention the outcome and how much loss it would entail, chances were their reputation would have nowhere to stand. Hua Xiaomai quickly weighed her options and turned to look at the woman, striving to remain calm, she spoke firmly, "Let go of me."

"Don’t even think about it!" The woman twisted her neck, sneering, "Capture the leader first. You’re as thin as a ghost, and having finally caught you, why would I let you go? If you slip away without a trace, where would I go to find you?"

Well, you have a pretty clear understanding of yourself.

"Sauce Garden is mine, where could I possibly run to?" Hua Xiaomai curved her mouth slightly, "You brought so many people, are you still worried about not being able to stop me? You know I’m thin, I’m not as tall as you standing up, and not as strong as you in a brawl, certainly can’t beat you in a fight, and most likely can’t out-shout you in an argument, what are you worried about? Didn’t you want to smash my Sauce Garden? Your people seem a little hesitant to start, shouldn’t you set an example for them?"

"Don’t provoke me, I’m not fooled by that!" The woman paused for a moment, turned to look at the burly men who were fidgeting, and seeing they still dared not step forward, her anger rose, and she shouted, "Useless bunch, won’t you hurry up? If you delay any further, no one will get their paycheck this month!"

One of the men, looking timid, stepped forward with a bitter face and said, "Second Miss, we’re definitely behind you when it comes to arguing your case, but... smashing their shop and causing a commotion, if we get into trouble because of this, we..."

"Did you hear that? They really don’t dare," Hua Xiaomai looked again at the woman, speaking indifferently, "On second thought, no matter what faults may lie in your Sauce Garden, it wasn’t entirely proper of me to snatch up all the business for myself. I do feel a bit guilty about it. I understand your resentment. If you want to smash my place, go ahead, but do you dare?"
