Seeking Senior Brother Huang to Stand Up for Us

Tianwu House was the most popular restaurant in this city, and rumor had it their real backers were advanced students from Sanctum Martial Academy.

That’s why almost no one ever caused trouble at Tianwu House.

The manager handling this was Eugene Zou, whose job was to deal with customer disputes.

Faced with Winnie Shentu and Rose Changsun’s complaints, Eugene Zou stayed calm and said, “It’s true that this was our restaurant’s mistake. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll ask you to put up with things just this once. Tonight’s bill will be 40% off, and I’ll give each of you a discount card. Bring it next time and you’ll get the same 40% off. How does that sound?”

Tianwu House was famously expensive, so a 40% discount would save a lot of silver. Plus, with four discount cards, they could each get the same deal four more times. The four girls’ faces eased up a bit, and some of them were even tempted.

But then they remembered—they were hosting Senior Brother Huang tonight. If it were just the four of them, maybe they’d let it go, but this was a welcome banquet for Senior Brother Huang, and they couldn’t let it be shabby.

So Winnie Shentu thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I won’t make things hard for you. Since the Horizon Room was taken, just arrange another private box for us.”

"Uh..."

Eugene Zou looked troubled. “I’m really sorry, ladies, but all the private boxes are fully booked.”

The four girls, whose moods had just improved, instantly turned gloomy again.

"No way, we need a private box!" Winnie Shentu insisted firmly.

Eugene Zou spread his hands. "I really can't do it for you, ladies."

"Can't do it or not, you have to figure it out! Otherwise, I won't let this go today!" Winnie Shentu snapped angrily.

"Who’s making trouble for you today, Old Zou?"

Just then, a voice rang out. A young man in an intermediate student uniform walked in, flanked by two other intermediate students.

As soon as Eugene Zou saw him, his face broke into a flattering smile. "Young Master Yan, you’re here!"

"Mm." The youth addressed as Young Master Yan nodded arrogantly. "Are the private boxes ready?"

"Of course, Young Master Yan. Your box is reserved—please, this way!" Eugene Zou nodded and bowed obsequiously.

"You always handle things well. Take us upstairs." The young man nodded in satisfaction.

"This way, please, Young Master Yan!" Eugene Zou bowed and gestured for them to proceed.

As he passed the four girls, Young Master Yan paused and snapped, "Is this really the place for you to cause trouble? You people have no sense of rules!"

"Why do you assume we're making trouble?" Winnie Shentu retorted angrily.

"Still talking back?" Young Master Yan’s eyes flashed with amusement as he looked over the four girls. He noticed that three of them were quite attractive—one petite, one long-legged and busty, and one with a mature, seductive vibe.

Normally, he’d take the chance to invite these junior girls to dinner in his private box. But tonight, he’d already invited the newly promoted intermediate student Harriet Gu.

These three girls were nice-looking, but compared to Harriet Gu, they still fell short.

Rose Changsun was furious too. "Even if you’re a senior, you can’t twist the facts. We clearly reserved a box, but Tianwu House gave it away. Just because they’re famous doesn’t mean they can break their promises!"

"Oh, is that so?" Young Master Yan glanced over at Eugene Zou.

"Young Master Yan, they reserved the Horizon Room," Eugene Zou said, looking miserable.

Hearing the name Horizon Room, Young Master Yan’s face froze for a second, then turned cold. "Here’s what you’ll do: just eat in the main hall. Making a scene here only embarrasses the academy. Old Zou will give you a discount. That’s settled—now get out of here, all four of you!"

The four girls were extremely uncomfortable with Young Master Yan deciding things for them. Celine Murong said coldly, "Even if you’re a senior, you can’t decide for us. If Tianwu House won’t give us a private box, we’re not letting this go!"

"How dare you! Are you low-level students trying to turn this place upside down?" Young Master Yan's face grew darker.

Celine Murong’s tone became even colder. "This has nothing to do with you, Senior. Please don’t interfere."

"So you’re blaming me for meddling?" Young Master Yan glared at Celine Murong, his eyes flashing with danger.

Celine Murong replied coldly, "I never said that, but if you insist on thinking so, I can’t help it."

Hearing this, Young Master Yan’s face darkened even more. He took a deep breath and said menacingly, "I’ll give you one last chance. Accept the arrangement, or do you want to make trouble to the end?"

"We won’t let this go unless we get justice!" Celine Murong said firmly.

"Fine!" Young Master Yan narrowed his eyes and pointed at the restaurant entrance. "You have three breaths to get out, or I’ll throw you out myself!"

Faced with Young Master Yan’s threats, Rose Changsun couldn’t help but sneer. "What an impressive senior. Not only do you refuse to help us, you side with unscrupulous businesses to bully your fellow students. Ha, with a senior like you, I’m truly honored!"

"Bitch! You’re asking for it!"

"Smack!"

A shadow flashed, and a heavy palm landed squarely on Rose Changsun’s cheek. With a muffled cry, she flew out the restaurant door like a kite with a broken string.

"Senior Sister Changsun!"

Winnie Shentu, Celine Murong, and Snow Yu were all stunned by the scene, then rushed outside to help Rose Changsun up from the ground.

Young Master Yan had struck in anger, so Rose Changsun’s cheek instantly swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, how could you hit someone? Isn’t that going too far?"

Seeing how swollen Rose Changsun’s face was, Winnie Shentu was furious. She strode back into the restaurant and pointed at Young Master Yan’s nose, demanding answers.

"Get your hand out of my face!"

Young Master Yan snarled.

"You have to apologize to Senior Sister Changsun, or I won’t move my hand!" Winnie Shentu said stubbornly.

"Smack!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Young Master Yan dealt out another slap. Winnie Shentu screamed as she was sent flying out of the restaurant.

"Junior Sister Shentu!"

Celine Murong darted forward and caught Winnie Shentu, seeing that her cheek was swollen too.

"You bastard, I’ll fight you!"

Celine Murong let go of Winnie Shentu, drew her sword, and lunged straight at Young Master Yan’s chest.

"You dare draw a sword on me? You must have a death wish!"

Young Master Yan contemptuously slapped out with his palm. With a loud crash, Celine Murong was knocked backward, smashing into the ground and passing out.

"Senior Sister Murong!"

Seeing Celine Murong unconscious, Snow Yu was both shocked and furious. She shot Young Master Yan a hateful look, then picked up Celine Murong and said to Rose Changsun and Winnie Shentu, "Let’s go back to the academy!"

"He’s such a bully, Senior Sister Snow, what should we do?" Winnie Shentu said, feeling wronged.

"Let’s go find Senior Brother Huang and ask him to stand up for us!"

Snow Yu gritted her teeth.
