The manager looked numbly at tonight's guest list and sighed helplessly.

Are they really newcomers? What's going on here? Go tell procurement that our stock of spirits is dangerously low. Forget about the red, white, and yellow, just send over a truckload right away!

When Tong Zhiwu finally rushed in and pushed open the door, he felt like he had stepped into another world... Why was there a bunch of lunatics dancing around the table?

Is this even the place I booked?

He took a step back, looked at the name of the private room, and started sweating.

As he pushed the door open again, he heard Ji Jue laughing maniacally, "Come on, Ji Liu, give him a go!"

"Screw it, ignore him!"

Ji Liu, stripped down to just a tank top after drinking, slapped the table and jumped up, performed a backflip, caught the dice falling from the sky with a dice cup, slammed it on the table, and reported fervently:

"Four sixes!!!"

Four sixes my ass! You smashed them to pieces!

Xu Guan, with drunken eyes, was about to laugh at someone, when he suddenly felt something was off—the dice fragments leaking through Ji Liu's fingers, and a gleam of silvery light among them...

Damn, how come the broken dice have a filling?

Huh? Mercury?

But in the next moment, the mercury disappeared.

Was it an illusion?

"What's up, Old Xu?" Ji Jue leaned over with a concerned look, "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you can't handle it anymore? If you can't, you can go and sit on the side, don't force yourself!"

"Bullshit!"

Xu Guan's face turned red, pushing aside the trivial matters: "Let's play!"

Instantly, another set of dice magically appeared under Ji Liu's hand, and everyone else burst out laughing, making Xu Guan even angrier, so he raised his glass and gulped it down.

"Awesome! Awesome!"

Ji Jue applauded while fanning the flames, "Much more refreshing than big Liu!"

"Of course, he's no match!"

Xu Guan grinned, wrapping an arm around the potted plant next to him, "Buddy doesn't talk much, it's fine, Captain Tong doesn't talk much either, you two probably have a lot in common, let's have a drink!"

"..."

Behind him, Tong Shan, who had much in common with plants, had twitching eye corners.

Look at this chaotic scene, in just over an hour, empty bottles piled up like a mountain in the room's corner, and not a bite was taken from the dishes on the table!

"You guys…"

He just opened his mouth but before he could speak, everyone pushed him down onto a chair, filling up a fist-sized glass in front of him: "Drink!"

Tong Shan sighed, "I…"

"This little amount looks down on us, swap for a bowl!"

Ji Jue conjured a draft beer mug out of thin air and slammed it down, "Here, fill it up for Brother Shan! Xiao An, bring another crate, let Brother Zhiwu rinse his mouth!"

"You guys…"

Tong Shan sighed to the sky, scanning the mischievous faces, suddenly laughed, shedding his uniform and tie, rolling up his sleeves, and glaring at his opponents.

"Come on!"

How many years has it been since he felt this light-hearted?

He tossed aside a bit of grumbling and bitterness, laughed heartily, picked up his glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

As a result, in the end, no one even managed to eat the dishes…

.

Two hours later, Xu Guan lay drooling on the sofa, Big Liu almost turned into a small fountain, and even Tong Hua, after being mercilessly judged by his brother, collapsed on the table.

Even Wen Wen wore a hint of drunkenness, and only Old Zhang remained as calm as ever, accepting everyone with a grin.

The Vortex System has this advantage, pure alcohol can be drunk like water. If you put it on this old man, even poison by the pound wouldn't faze him.

The Chosen One's constitution is indeed exaggerated, but there are also specially brewed drinks for the Chosen One, and the sales aren't low, especially given the Tong family's wealth, they couldn't possibly lack such indulgence.

Ji Jue and Tong Shan, already hugging each other's shoulders, started complaining: "You ask me, you're just too stubborn, if you don't enjoy the work, then quit, come to Xin Quan, I'll make you the spring chief!"

"What the hell is a spring chief?"

Tong Shan laughed, "In charge of water taps?"

"It doesn't matter, the main thing is, how do you tolerate Xu Chaoxian, that idiot?" Ji Jue sneered, making a neck-cutting gesture, "If it were me, I would have already… you know?"

"Isn't it the same for everyone?"

Tong Shan sighed, shrugged, picked up another glass of wine, and drank it all in one go: "Sometimes I even want to kill him, but it's pointless, you know?"

In every sense, it's pointless.

Not to mention whether that damned person is killable, as the 'Saint' selected and recognized by the Heavenly Governor, inheriting the 'Solomon' sacred name, he can't possibly die from an accident, unless it's natural senescence.

This privilege is granted by the Heavenly Governor, even other Saints can't revoke it, and in fact, they shouldn't revoke it, they even have to ensure his survival, since the existence of a 'Saint' can be seen as an extension of the Heavenly Governor, and truly eliminating Xu Chaoxian would harm the Heavenly Governor's limited Spirituality.

So, Xu Chaoxian was able to emerge unscathed from the last major shake-up from his position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his opponents could only eject him from Central City, erase his records and history, and use the few lives they had to bind him, making him a figurehead.

And Xu Chaoxian, didn't disappoint, either.

He languished thoroughly.

So much so that even dogs would shake their heads at his sorry state.

But all the inside information wasn't something he could discuss with Ji Jue, no matter how good their relationship, it wouldn't be beneficial to anyone to talk about it, so he could only let out a long sigh of discontent in the midst of drunkenness: "Sometimes I feel he's not having an easy time either."

"As tough as he has it, is it as tough as those scavengers outside the city?" Ji Jue sneered coldly, "Is it as hard as the one today who had nothing left trying to assassinate him?"

Scavengers know all too well how hard it is if there's a chance to leave behind the past and live as an honest person.
