Chapter 2113 - 2086: I’m God Here
Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Chen Changwu’s face grew increasingly cold and sinister. He clenched his fists tightly, his expression twisted to the extreme, but dared not make any move. Lin Yafei was right. Now, it would be too easy for Lin Yafei to kill him, especially with Lu Tianxing standing beside her. Compared to Lu Tianxing, he was no different from an ant, easily crushed.
Meanwhile, the waiter standing nearby, who had been trembling in fear, suddenly showed a hint of excitement. He had initially worried that Chen Changwu knew Lin Yafei and that after choosing to ignore Lin and the others, Chen might retaliate against him upon finding out.
But now it seemed that Chen and Lin did know each other, but they were clearly enemies. Otherwise, Lin wouldn’t repeatedly mock Chen. If he could perform well at this moment, and perhaps attract Chen’s attention, he just might achieve great success.
This was his time to rise; destiny had chosen him for greatness after enduring hardship.
With that thought, the fear on the waiter’s face vanished completely. He confidently walked towards Chen Changwu, stood beside him, and said to Lin Yafei, "Aren’t you planning to leave? Please do, as to not obstruct the VIP guests of our restaurant. Otherwise, I have the right to call security to escort you out."
Although he didn’t know Lin Yafei’s identity, he knew that Chen Changwu was furious. If he could showcase himself well in front of Chen right now, Chen would definitely be impressed. Then he could stand out and become someone of importance, not just a waiter serving others.
At this moment, the waiter was essentially showing his loyalty to Chen Changwu.
In this world, many people think that by ingratiating themselves with someone, they can achieve everything. But they don’t understand the limitations of their capabilities, and their arrogance ultimately leads to destruction.
Upon hearing the waiter’s words, Lin Yafei sneered, "Who do you think you are, to start giving orders? If you want to climb the ladder, see if you have the capability. Otherwise, you might die without anyone even finding a trace of you."
"Don’t think that by pledging your loyalty to Chen Changwu now, he’ll protect you. Do you believe that even if I sliced you into pieces right now, Chen wouldn’t dare to make a sound?"
Lin Yafei’s tone was cold and sharp, her expression icy as she looked at the waiter. As the Hall Master of the Yama Palace, she didn’t enjoy squabbling with minor characters, but that didn’t mean she would tolerate a small fry flaunting themselves before her.
The waiter, upon hearing Lin’s words, turned ghastly pale.
"Remember your place; you’re just a waiter. Don’t talk to me about how fortunes change over thirty years, or the foolishness of underestimating the poor. Do you think you’re qualified to say that?"
Lin Yafei’s voice was unapologetic: "The people who say those things have the qualification and capability to do so. Do you have either? You’re just someone who thinks he can succeed by flattery. Do you truly possess the capacity to defy the odds?"
"Recognize your position clearly. Don’t act like a mad dog biting indiscriminately, or else people might die. In this place, making someone disappear is trivial for me. Remember, I am sparing you due to your ignorance this time. But persist in being insensible, and I have no qualms about reducing the population of Beijing by one."
As her words fell, a cold and lethal aura burst forth from Lin Yafei, enveloping the waiter completely.
The moment he felt Lin Yafei’s murderous intent, the waiter’s body went stiff as a board. Like someone with tremors, he began shaking uncontrollably. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, fear radiating from his wide eyes as he looked at Lin.
"Master Lin, you’re a person of high status. To exert force on an ordinary individual—should word get out, it might harm your esteemed reputation."
This waiter might not have known his place, challenging Lin Yafei as a mere server—a truly foolish move. Yet, his intention was to support Chen Changwu, wanting to vent on his behalf.
So at this moment, Chen Shaowu spoke up. He had to; rumors might spread, suggesting that he truly feared Lin Yafei.
Upon hearing Chen Changwu’s words, Lin Yafei’s face filled with even more mockery. Slowly turning, she approached Chen, "What is it, Chen? Are you going to stand up for him?"
Chen took a deep breath at her words and said, "Master Lin, don’t you think your actions have gone too far? Using such threatening language towards a waiter—is that the code of the Yama Palace? Aren’t you worried about becoming a laughing stock if word spreads? Besides, isn’t he right? You were the ones who first claimed you would leave. Yet, here you are, stalling business. Is it wrong to ask you to leave?"
"I come and go as I please. What, you think you can dictate that?" Lin Yafei sneered, "And since you invoke this, surely you’ve heard of the saying ’the customer is god’? Until I leave this restaurant, I’m god. Do you expect god to just disappear at your whim?"
Lin Yafei laughed coldly. "Chen Changwu, I once thought you were merely trash. Now, I see you’re not just trash—you’re a fool. For Tang Qingyun to entrust the Qingtian Alliance to someone as foolish as you, its downfall is inevitable."
Standing silently next to Lin, Lu Tianxing exchanged amused glances with Bai Zhiqing at this spectacle. In Zhiqing’s eyes, from the moment she met Lin Yafei, she’d never seen Lin lose a verbal exchange.
Trying to argue with Lin Yafei is asking for humiliation, a lesson learned through countless tears and blood.
If you ever get the chance to fight Lin Yafei, do it. But if you choose to spar with her verbally, you’re doomed to lose. Nobody has ever bested her in this regard.
To see Chen face off with Lin was truly his own folly.
Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing shared a knowing look, both seeing the humor in the situation but saying nothing. Both trusted that Lin Yafei would handle matters competently. A mere Chen Changwu was no match for Master Lin, especially with Lu by her side.
