Version T0
"Um?"
Li Yan glanced back at the unreasonable noblewoman. No matter the era, there will always be such willful people who use unreasonable language to occupy the moral high ground.
Unfortunately, this version of T0 is not xxn, but rather Nobles, power, and strength.
"They're just clowns, no need to worry about them. We'll eat our own food; the restaurant manager will handle it."
Li Yan turned back to continue eating the grilled chicken wings. The chef at this restaurant was exceptionally skilled at grilling chicken wings. The grilled chicken wings had an enticing aroma, and when you bit into them, you could feel how juicy they were. The grilling process clearly preserved the moisture of the chicken meat, and the natural freshness of the chicken was enhanced after grilling, making it unforgettable.
The chicken wings become crispy after roasting, offering a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender meat inside.
Soon, the restaurant manager rushed over. Upon learning that the wealthy woman wanted the Black Card customers to leave, he immediately bowed and apologized to her table, saying, "I'm very sorry, I didn't expect our distinguished guests to find our restaurant so elegant."
The wealthy woman was initially smug as the restaurant manager bowed to her, but the manager's words the next second left her momentarily stunned.
"Guests, please leave. Our restaurant is not a refined establishment, and we do not cater to such guests. Consider your dinner today as compensation, so please leave."
After bowing and apologizing, the restaurant manager stared coldly at the wealthy woman, while the waiters behind him were itching to pull her off her chair and throw her out of the restaurant.
"Huh? Do you know who I am?"
The noblewoman stood up from the table with a displeased expression, intending to use her status to teach the restaurant manager and waiters a lesson. Even the elderly Noble's forehead veins bulged slightly; he had never been so insulted.
He was, after all, a minor Noble in the Small Town. Although he wasn't particularly powerful, he could still say a few words to the Security Force, and he had the ability to make this restaurant go out of business.
The restaurant manager gave a remarkably defiant snort, "No matter who you are, in front of a Black Card holder, even if you were Lord, I could still kick you out."
"Black Card!!"
The old Noble stared wide-eyed, never having heard the words "Black Card" in his lifetime. He was momentarily stunned. He knew that Black Card was not just a card that stored countless riches; it was a symbol of status and power. It could be said that even a Lord of a region might not have the ability to obtain Black Card.
"What is Black Card? What kind of nonsense is that? I'm Noble! You guys have a death wish, don't you? Do you even want to keep this shop open? Believe me or not..."
Before the noblewoman could even begin to protest, the elderly Noble grabbed her hair and slapped her across the face. "Foolish girl, you can cause so much trouble just by having a meal. Now, immediately, apologize to the Black Card guest and leave the restaurant right now."
The noblewoman was completely stunned by the sudden turn of events. Seeing the panic in the eyes of the elderly Noble, she began to realize the reason for the evening's misfortune: the other party seemed to be someone they couldn't afford to offend.
"I'm so sorry, this girl is my servant. She stole my wife's clothes and came out wearing them. I'll give her a good talking to when I get back."
The elderly Noble, accompanied by a lady, bowed and apologized before leaving the restaurant without stopping. The mention of the Black Card was heard by the surrounding diners, who couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in Fern's direction.
After leaving the restaurant and getting away with the noblewoman, the elderly Noble vented his anger on her. His body trembled, but every blow he struck was delivered with all his might.
"You stupid shrew! What elegance, what Noble etiquette? Are you trying to kill me with all this useless stuff? Do you even know what owning Black Card means?"
The curses of the old Noble and the cries and pleas of the noblewoman were particularly loud in the night. In the darkness, several Intelligence Department officers dressed in black cloaks of concealment approached indifferently, their staffs already pointed at the old Noble.
"Excuse me, sir, you are suspected of intentionally targeting and harming Black Card users. Please come with us for investigation."
"No! It wasn't me, it was this stupid shrew."
The old Noble's eyes widened, and he turned and ran towards the dense crowd. But the next second, a dark light pierced through his body. The old Noble felt his mind go blank, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground. As blood stained the ground, he completely left this world.
"Wouldn't it be better to be a parasitic Noble? Why do you have to cause trouble?"
"Yeah, it makes us have to write reports."
What should we do about this woman?
"Kill him, what else can you do? He insulted a Black Card user, and he's a level one one at that."
After a discussion, the Intelligence Department had definitively chosen the path that would belong to the noblewoman.
Dinner was particularly unpleasant, and Li Yan lost her appetite. She packed up several King Crabs and Australian Lobsters, four or five pastries and cakes, and more than ten grilled chicken wings and steaks for Frieren's dinner.
The surrounding diners were secretly observing them; the users of the Black Card were actually just a young girl and a child of about twelve or thirteen.
After packing the food, Li Yan found it too troublesome to carry and put it directly into her Storage Alternate Space. Fern carefully took out the Black Card to pay the bill. Many diners swallowed hard; it was the first time they had ever seen the legendary Black Card.
"Please state your name, esteemed Black Card user."
The waiter asked with trembling hands; despite having received excellent training, this was the first time he had served a Black Card- level guest.
"Fern!"
It was Fern's first time using the Black Card to pay, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous; perhaps even nervousness is contagious.
"Ding! Miss Fern has arrived! Everyone get out of the way!"
As the card reader announced the Black Card's unique voice message, the entire restaurant fell silent, signifying that the Black Card was indeed genuine and contained enough wealth to drive ordinary people mad for thousands of years.
"Dear Miss Fern, this is your Black Card. Welcome to visit us again."
The waiter handed the Black Card back to Fern, which made Fern feel a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected the card reader to have a voice announcement, and the content of the announcement was quite awkward.
"Let's go, Fern, Frieren might have woken up hungry. We need to go back and feed her."
Li Yan took Fern's hand and walked towards the hotel. The lively scenery along the way made Fern forget the embarrassment of using the Black Card.
