"White Tiger Star" spent most of the day dining at the restaurant at his leisure, taking his time over all thirty-six signature dishes. Naturally, the restaurant did not bring them all out at once. To ensure this lavish guest enjoyed his meal, the kitchen timed each dish so that the next arrived just as he finished the last, never early. That way, every dish tasted its best when it reached his mouth.
Such treatment was extraordinarily lavish, and money was only part of the reason. More important was who he was.
White Tiger Star, who specialized in bringing down crooked inns, naturally could not compare to Pan Long, who could shake an entire region with a stamp of his foot. But as a rising star of Yun Province, he was already prominent enough. Someone in the intelligence trade had long since sold the restaurant information about him.
For all its prosperity, Guangling City was not home to many Innate Masters. Those who could kill several of them, as White Tiger Star had, were rarer still. With his strength, this destroyer of crooked inns could probably rank among the top twenty figures publicly known in Guangling City.
Do not think a place in the "top twenty" amounted to little. Guangling City was the capital of Yang Province. The provincial lord, the commandery governor, and other major officials all lived there, and several large organizations had established their headquarters there. Two True Person Grandmasters were known to reside in the city alone.
Once you counted the top figures whose every change of expression could make all Yang Province hold its breath, how many places in that "top twenty" were left?
Yan Xiuchun, the renowned proprietor of Guangling City's most famous restaurant, the Spring Breeze Tower, did not qualify for the "top twenty."
