Chapter 2902: Chapter 2922: Can You Even Talk Like That?

Everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Chen in unison, and Manager Li and the newly arrived group of men in luxurious clothing also stopped in their tracks, turned their heads in surprise, and looked at Lin Chen with confusion.

Chi Ya slapped her forehead with her right hand, her face full of helplessness.

Not again!

Why can’t these people ever give it a rest, always causing trouble like this? With the Sect Master’s temperament, he’s going to offend everyone eventually.

Xiong Yaxiong and Hu Yunlai in the queue had their eyes light up, filled with anticipation.

They now had great faith in the newly-appointed Sect Master, and had already made up their minds that, no matter what, they would follow his lead. They’d share both the good fortune and the hardships, and if they caused any trouble, they’d all take the blame together.

They could all die together if it came to that!

Without saying anything else, at least the way Lin Chen handled things felt truly exhilarating!

Every time they’d come to collect supplies in the past, they had been choked and delayed by others, and the feeling of impotence that comes with that was still unpleasant even now.

No matter what, I am a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal, and yet I have been reduced to the stature of an ordinary mortal. It’s just too sad to think about.

Sect Master Lin is mighty!

Take them down!

Manager Li’s eyes landed on Lin Chen’s face, "What do you want?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "You just said in Division Two that the rule is to collect by queuing, first-come-first-served. All of us here at the front of the queue have been waiting since before dawn. Yet, I haven’t seen anyone up front queuing to submit their lists. Could it be their lists were submitted in advance yesterday? Or perhaps, the lists are still in their hands and they haven’t had the chance to hand them over to you?"

Here we go!

Xiong Yaxiong and Hu Yunlai’s eyes sparkled with excitement, familiar with Lin Chen’s signature move of a confrontational rebuttal. With one sentence, he had Manager Li backed into a corner.

A choice between two options—no matter which one you choose, there’s a problem!

Who asked you to declare the rule that everyone should collect by queuing and that it’s first-come-first-served?

All the people in the queue suddenly had their eyes light up as many stares shifted to Lin Chen, their faces revealing excited expressions.

"It’s him!"

"He’s here too, great, someone is standing up for us!"

"Who is he?"

"The Sect Master of Haoran Sect. It’s said he killed hundreds of members of the Demon Race and made a great contribution. The Hall Master personally appointed him."

"Yesterday at Division One when they were collecting supplies, the Zhou Family tried to cut in line. He nearly made them cry with his rebuttal. In the end, they left with their tails between their legs and had to apologize. Manager Chen from that division’s face was as dark as a pot’s bottom, but he simply had no way to deal with him!"

"When he speaks, he’s utterly reasonable, and unless the opposition is utterly irrational and just trying to use their power to bully, but he’s a Sect Master personally appointed by the Hall Master. He’s not afraid of being pressured. If it really came to an official complaint, it’s not certain who would be more afraid."

As Manager Li saw Lin Chen step forward, his initial reaction was to scold him, but the whispers from the crowd made him pick up on something amiss.

If it was an ordinary person, these people might worry more about him, but they wouldn’t be as excited and anticipative as they were now. Even the way they looked at himself had a kind of schadenfreude.

What’s going on here?

Manager Li composed himself, quickly running thoughts through his head, and asked, "Your Excellency, you are?"

Lin Chen bowed with hands clasped, "Sect Master of Haoran Sect, Lin Chen."

Lin Chen?

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Manager Li instinctively pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the whispers in the queue nearby.

Military supplies Division One?

Confronted Manager Chen and forced Zhou Daocang to apologize?

Manager Li’s pupils suddenly shrank. Damn, it turns out to be that troublesome kid!

He actually came to Division Two today!

Hasn’t their Division Two finished collecting supplies yet?

Is Division Two withholding their supplies from them?

Manager Li’s thoughts raced, and in a blink of an eye, he came up with a countermeasure, a shallow smile appearing on his face.

"Sect Master Lin, you seem to be under a misunderstanding."

Amidst the bewildered looks from the group of men in luxurious clothing, Manager Li smiled, "Indeed, they handed over their lists in advance, but as the rule of Division Two is to collect by queing and on a first-come-first-serve basis, I only remembered when they mentioned it just now. So I was preparing to take them inside to return their lists to them, not to let them skip the queue to collect supplies."

Everyone’s eyes widened. Were words really capable of being twisted this way?

Who couldn’t see that he was about to lead them to skip the queue for supplies? Yet he managed to spin it to make himself look so bright and selfless!

The men in luxurious clothing all turned their heads toward Manager Li in unison, their gazes strange. Then they turned back to look at Lin Chen.

Of course, they were there to cut in line, but not one of them was a fool.

Manager Li had just now tacitly agreed with them, but in the blink of an eye, he had thrown them under the bus. There had to be a reason for this turnaround.

Who was this Lin Chen that a single sentence from him could make Manager Li change his mind?

Was he afraid of inciting public anger, or was it because he could not afford to offend this Sect Master of the Haoran Sect?

Haoran Sect, with the character ’Hao’ at the beginning... wasn’t that the elite forces from before?

But even if they were elites, just being a ’Hao’ Sect Master shouldn’t make Manager Li so cautious, should it?
