NOVEL NEXT Chapter 437: Cleaning Up Trash
Orion's lips twitched sharply, his tone slightly aggrieved, 'My luck is perfectly good, okay?'
Lumi giggled teasingly, her playful voice filled with warmth,
[We really don't know if your luck is good or bad since you carry the Primordial Grade Mark of Fate. Until you surpass it, you'll always be playing in the palm of Fate's hand. (＾▽＾;)]
Orion just shook his head slightly, giving up on arguing further, and approached the city gates.
He swiftly paid the entry fee, casually tossing the necessary Mana Crystals to the pleasantly surprised gate guards before entering Silverfall City with Lyra happily holding onto his sleeve.
Inside, the bustling streets and lively atmosphere came in front of them warmly, finally showing a city largely populated with humans.
Orion wasted no time and directly led Lyra toward Limitless Heaven, located in the market square at the heart of the city.
As they approached, even the guards were surprised to see such a refined and handsome young noble, they hurriedly saluted as they respectfully stepped aside.
Upon stepping inside Limitless Heaven, Orion's calm demeanor quickly soured. His brows knitted together as he noticed a disturbance brewing near the front counter.
A young noble, clad in lavish robes and surrounded by an entourage of guards, was loudly berating the attendants behind the counter.
The arrogant youth sneered loudly, his voice dripping with condescension, "You dare suggest I'm causing trouble? Why would I, a noble of esteemed status, even bother creating disturbances in this insignificant shop?"
The surrounding people whispered to each other in hushed voices,
"Hasn't he been coming here every day, causing trouble whenever the manager's away?"
"Shh! Quiet! Do you value your life so lightly? He isn't someone we commoners can speak carelessly about!"
"But honestly, he's quite cunning, only causing trouble when Manager isn't around. Then, he disappears as soon as he gets the news of his return."
Hearing these murmurs, a glint flickered within Orion's calm eyes, and his lips curved into a faint yet chilling smile.
He had been quite irritable these past few days, and now fate seemed intent on providing him with the perfect opportunity to vent.
Step by step, Orion calmly walked toward the arrogant noble, the murmurs quietened down as the others saw him stepping towards the noble. The noble felt the presence of someone standing behind him, he turned around irritably, ready to lash out.
However, upon seeing Orion's calm yet piercing gaze and the curious little girl beside him, the young noble momentarily hesitated.
However, he quickly shook his head and regained clarity, he, a young noble, how can he be intimidated by just anyone?
Looking at Orion arrogantly, he sneered and said with voice full of disdain, "Who is this unknown idiot? Do you dare to interfere in this young noble's business?"
Orion looked at him as if he was looking at a monkey and his lips curled into a faint smile. Without a single word, he raised his hand and slapped the young noble across the face with lightning speed.
PA!
The noble crashed violently onto the polished floor, blood and teeth scattering messily from his mouth. His arrogant expression quickly turned into stunned disbelief, mixed with humiliation and anger.
"Y-You dare!! Do you know who my fa-"
Boom!
However, before he could continue speaking, Orion smashed the young noble's face with his foot and pushed his head into the wooden floor, cracking the ground.
"Y-Young Master!" His guards shouted, instantly springing forward to avenge their master, roaring angrily, "You dare attack our young master in broad daylight? You must not value your life!"
Orion didn't bother arguing with them, he casually slapped each guard across the face. Each strike echoed through the hall, resounding sharply as the guards were sent flying, dazed and groaning in pain.
One by one, he grabbed everyone by their legs and threw them out of the establishment. Waking up those who were unconscious due to the slap and making them unconscious who were awake.
The gathered bystanders gasped in shock and awe, quickly stepping back to give him space.
Standing at the front of Limitless Heaven's entrance, Orion calmly looked down at the pig-like face of the young noble. He said with a calm voice that seemed to reach everyone on the busy square.
"This establishment is not a place where useless trash like you can freely cause trouble. Go back and warn whoever is foolish enough to back your actions, tell them clearly to tuck their tails between their legs and remain silent. Should they dare offend me again, none of you will ever have another peaceful moment in your pathetic lives. Now, scram."
His calm words chilled the air, freezing both onlookers and the arrogant youth to the bone.
The young noble pointed a trembling finger towards Orion and said with gritted teeth, "Y-You…tell me your name!"
Orion looked at him with a playful smile, "My name is…Face-slapping Young Master. Now scram before I beat you up again."
The guards frantically gathered their young master, whose eyes were filled with fear and hate looking at Orion. Without daring to talk further, they fled hastily, disappearing into the crowd.
The crowd there burst into discussion, talking about what reaction the noble house will have and what storm will come in this city now after the Heir of the Noble House was humiliated like this here.
However, Orion didn't care about this and turned back to enter the establishment. Because only Marquess House and above had Exalted Grade beings, while Earl Houses at most had Ninth Tier beings which he can take care of.
This city was under the rule of a Viscount House so he didn't take them seriously. Even if a bunch of them came at him, he can beat them to death, and if a group of Tier 9 beings came then he can escape easily even if he can't win, and with a little ancestor like Lyra with him, he was even less afraid.
Once inside, Orion walked toward the reception counter, his gaze briefly scanning over the embarrassed expressions of the attendants behind it.
His voice carried a gentle reprimand as he addressed them, "Where is the manager? He should've cleaned up such trash immediately. Otherwise, the Limitless Heaven's reputation will lose value in their dog-like eyes."
The attendants looked at each other awkwardly, feeling deeply ashamed. They hadn't expected a stranger, especially a young noble, to deal with the troublemaker for them.
But the unfortunate reality was that their own families lived within Silverfall City, and the power of the local noble houses was something they couldn't afford to offend.
One of the receptionists, a young woman dressed neatly in elegant, uniformed robes, quickly stepped forward with a sincere and respectful demeanor, bowing slightly as she explained apologetically,
"Replying to esteemed sir, our manager is also helpless in this matter. That young noble intentionally creates trouble only when our manager is absent. Once the manager returns, his hands are tied since the Lord Viscount openly protects his troublesome son. We're truly helpless."
After a moment's hesitation, she carefully added with great politeness, "But sir, may we humbly inquire your esteemed name, so our manager can express his gratitude personally?"
