Potential Offense

Outside the tower.

bar.

Five people walked in from outside, and the one leading them was Mi Lailai, who was dressed like a little white flower.

The man instantly sobered up upon seeing Mi Lailai appear.

He suppressed his manic smile.

He didn't even glance at Ai Xin, who lay motionless on the ground.

Dragging Du Keke to Mi Lailai, he softened his tone and said, "Captain Mi, this little brat was rude and sarcastic towards me. I'm going to teach her a lesson. Don't worry, she definitely won't cause trouble in your shop. I'll take her far away, okay?"

Mi Lailai tilted her head and looked at the situation inside the bar. She calmly said, "If my customers are just dragged away by anyone, how can I open for business in the future? Besides, it seems like someone died on the ground."

The man frowned and thought for a moment.

I didn't dare to force my way in.

He quoted a price. "A rare item from the 500th floor, how about it? Captain Mi, this girl is just my type, I hope you'll do me a favor."

Mi Lailai ignored him completely.

She walked over and snatched Du Keke from the man's hands.

The man was initially unwilling to let go.

Mi Lailai immediately pulled out a knife and slashed at his arm.

The man hesitated for a moment, suppressed his urge to retaliate, took a half step back, and finally let go.

Mi Lailai tore the tattered cloth from Du Keke's mouth and pushed it towards the door to signal that she could leave.

Du Keke bowed to Mi Lailai to express her gratitude, then glanced at He Jiong, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood. Recalling He Jiong helpless and pathetic he was when she was kidnapped by villains, her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran out of the bar, disappearing from sight.

The man's eye twitched, and he suppressed his anger, asking in a deep voice, "They're just some little brats. They offended me and got away scot-free. How am I, Liu, supposed to get along in the future? Captain Mi, isn't what you're doing a bit unfair?"

Mi Lailai walked over to He Jiong and helped him up. "Are you alright?"

He Jiong still had bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and he silently shook his head.

The other four team members also entered the bar.

One of them walked over to the girl in the suit, gently put his arm around her, and patted her to comfort her.

The girl looked up and said sadly, "A Nan, Captain Mi, thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise this bar has only been open for a few days and such a big thing has happened, all the customers would be scared away."

A Nan nodded without saying a word.

Mi Lailai ignored her comment and instead said to He Jiong, "Your boss told you to wait patiently for his notification to enter the tower. Be careful not to ruin his plans by hurting yourself like this."

He Jiong pursed his lips and apologized, "I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me anything, just take care of yourself."

Mi Lailai around and pulled the cold-faced man to He Jiong's side, pointing to his injuries and saying, "To be honest, I don't care who offended you or who you offended, but don't blame me for not warning you, this is Wang Wen's 'handpicked' tower guard. You injured him like this today and still want to leave? If Wang Wen calls him into the tower tonight, who do you think will be in the most trouble?"

The man paused slightly, then asked incredulously, "He really knows Wang Wen? And he's connected to the Tower? This guy doesn't even have the power of a world!"

"Do you think it's important whether or not Wang Wen has the power of the world to select people for the tower?" Mi Lailai sighed, "Old Liu, we've known each other for a while, and I don't want to embarrass you. What I did today is partly to prevent the bar's business from being affected, and partly to actually help you!"

"Help me?" The man looked at her, puzzled.

"You've come all this way to celebrate my opening, which is quite thoughtful of you, so let me just say one more thing!"

Mi Lailai said to him earnestly, "As an elder of Tiansheng, your status is already sensitive. We let you go before because of your good cooperation. Now that you've damaged the man Wang Wen needs, he might have to find someone else, which will affect his plans and pace. Do you think he'll be happy about that? You have to understand that with Wang Wen's current strength, if he wanted to kill you again, you'd probably die before you even saw him. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The man fell silent.

He understood what Mi Lailai meant.

He also knew that if Wang Wen really wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be much more complicated than killing an ant.

The reason he was unwilling to stop was not only due to his rage and lack of rationality, but also because of his pride and inability to let go of his ego.

He's a well-established and top-tier Tower Climber, after all.

If you can be offended in a small bar and have to put up with it, that's too frustrating and a waste of all your skills.

Now...

People gradually calmed down.

In addition, Mi Lailai, who was nearby, offered kind words of advice.

He finally realized how foolish he had been for the sake of momentary pleasure.

Wang Wen could even forcefully pull out people who had hidden inside the tower.

Is there anything the other person can't do?

Previously, even hearing Wang Wen's name made me unable to resist, not realizing that beating a mere rookie could "potentially" affect Wang Wen's plans.

Now we know this from Mi Lailai.

If he really disrupted her plans, Wang Wen became unhappy, he might not even know how he died.

Men value survival more than saving face.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have surrendered so easily in the first place.

The situation has become like this.

It won't be easy to get out of this mess.

The man had a headache.

After thinking for a moment, he walked over to Ai Xin, who was lying motionless on the ground, took out a small bottle and fed her, then patted her face and said, "Get up if you're awake. I'm controlling my strength, don't play dead."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Ai Xin actually opened her eyes.

She stared at the man in terror.

He habitually shouted, "Stop hitting me! I know I was wrong."

"I won't hit you!" The man pulled Ai Xin and pushed her in He Jiong of Wang Wen."

These words were spoken.

Some people were trying not to laugh.

Some people were surprised.

Some people felt helpless.

Mi Lailai covered her forehead, unable to bear the sight. Those who knew her understood that men in high positions were not used to bowing their heads and apologizing to those below them; those who didn't would think she was talking nonsense.

The girl in the suit heard Wang Wen's name several times. Seeing that the originally arrogant person had become humble just because he "might offend" Wang Wen, she adjusted her glasses, a cryptic light flashing in her eyes.

As for Ai Xin, who was pushed in front of He Jiong.

Everyone was stunned.

How could she know what to say?

He had no recollection of what had happened while he was unconscious.

It just feels like the art style changed in the blink of an eye.

She stood bewildered in front of He Jiong, clutching her still aching stomach, unable to speak for a long time.

Instead, He Jiong was the first to break the awkward silence.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I won't tattle on you to the boss; that's not what a man does."

The person involved finally relented.

The man, ever opportunistic, stepped forward and handed over a few small bottles, his attitude completely changing. "Young man, I was inconsiderate and didn't know my limits just now. We're all on the same side. If you had mentioned Wang Wen's name earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this. As for your girlfriend, I, the old man, have gone too far, too far. Just tell me what compensation you need, and I'll accept it without hesitation."

Ai Xin, standing next to him, rubbed her stomach speechlessly.

I thought to myself, "Bullshit! I almost got beaten to death just for mentioning Wang Wen's name!"

He Jiong was feeling down at this moment. She pushed away the small bottle and refused the man's unnecessary kindness. "No need for compensation. I don't need anything from you. And, Du Keke my girlfriend. You're right, I can't get her."

The man was both amused and exasperated. "These are medicines, not compensation. They're for treating your injuries. Otherwise, with your frail body, even without being told, people would be able to tell at a glance, right? Then Teacher Wang would still come after me."

He felt even more lost and He Jiong.

It turns out that everyone's attitude towards him had nothing to do with him; it was simply because they knew Wang Wen.

Or perhaps it was simply because there was a "possibility" of offending Wang Wen.

Without Wang Wen, I would be nothing more than trash who could be beaten and scolded at will.

He looked down at the phlegm stains on his clothes, and a thought became clearer and clearer in his mind.
