Chapter 428 Compensation

“I would be damned?”

In reaction to Ji Qiuyue’s accusation, the girl shouted, “Hey, you watch your mouth. I just accidentally fed my Red some sweets. How should I know that my Red cannot have candy? Besides, no one got hurt. Why are you here parading your ability? He didn’t even say I’ve done something wrong!”

The girl just wouldn’t listen to reason. Ji Qiuyu’s face was even more clouded.

The other passengers could no longer stand the girl. Someone said, “Hey miss if it weren’t for this trainer, your Red Phantom Dog would have caused great trouble and might have killed a man!”

“Right. Don’t let your battle pet stay outside if you cannot control it.”

“Since when can people become battle pet warriors before knowing about anything?” The girl didn’t expect that the others would also criticize her. Feeling embarrassed, she bit her teeth and glared at Ji Qiuyu, the “culprit” who had placed her in such a difficult position.

“Miss, Miss!!”

All of a sudden, three people ran into the cabin. All of them were wearing black suits. The leader of the three was an old man in his sixties with grey hair. He dashed to where the girl was the moment he found her.

Looking at her sad face, the old man gave her a once over and was relieved to see she had not been hurt in any way. The old man turned around and glared at Ji Qiuyu who was standing in front of the girl.

“Who are you?” The old man didn’t conceal his killing intent. He looked sharply into Ji Qiuyu’s eyes, trying to frighten her.

Ji Qiuyu turned a bit pale and involuntarily took a step back.

The other passengers present were also scared. That old man was too intimidating. He had a hunched back but that didn’t change the fact that people saw him like a towering giant. It was as if the old man could crush them all to death within one move!

Several seventh-rank battle pet warriors were watching in the crowd; they were stunned the moment the old man demonstrated his energy.

The old man was… an eighth-rank battle pet warrior!

The man that they thought was a bodyguard was a master battle pet warrior!

Those advanced battle pet warriors couldn’t even think who the unruly girl would have to be if a master battle pet warrior would address her as Miss.

All of a sudden, those battle pet warriors felt glad that they had limited themselves to watching without chiming in previously.

After the old man demonstrated his strength, those who were scolding the girl immediately stopped, afraid to say another word.

Anyone could tell that this old man was not someone who could be displeased.

It was likely that the girl was some influential person’s daughter given the status of the old man and how spoiled she was.

Since they were all just traveling, no one wanted to get into extra trouble.

Sweat oozed out from Ji Qiuyu’s nose. She was only a fourth-rank battle pet warrior. It had already taken her great effort just to remain standing in front of that eighth-rank battle pet warrior.

She bit her teeth. Determined and fearlessly, she looked into the old man’s eyes.

He was surprised. He could tell that the girl was merely at the fourth rank and it was amazing that she could stand his pressure. He had not demonstrated full strength yet but even a sixth-rank battle pet warrior would have trembled in front of him, not to mention looking at him.

“Tell me. What did you do to our Miss?” the old man asked coldly.

Before Ji Qiuyu could answer, someone sneered.

“You sure sound intimidating!”

Everyone looked over.

From a room stepped out a man, healthy in his old age. He wore plain clothes and a cold smile. He took a step slowly but the next second, in a blur, he had reached Ji Qiuyu. It was as if space and distance didn’t matter to him.

At the same time, he began to unleash his energy.

Another master battle pet warrior!

The seventh-rank battle pet warriors who had been hiding in the corners were astounded.

They didn’t know that the trainer girl was also accompanied by a master battle pet warrior.

The other passengers had yet to recover from their previous shock when they suffered another one. That rosy-cheeked old man was not any weaker than the other old man.

The old man in the black suit didn’t expect that the trainer would also be traveling with a master battle pet warrior.

“You did nothing when your dangerous dog was about to hurt people and now you wanted to intimidate people with violence. What a great deed!” the old man with the rosy cheeks stated word by word.

The moment he arrived, Ji Qiuyu felt a heavy load had been lifted off from her, as if an umbrella were over her head to protect her. She breathed in relief. “Grandpa, what made you come out?”

“If I didn’t, someone was going to bully my granddaughter,” the old man named Ji Zhantang said to her with a smile.

The man in the black suit pointed out, “You have misunderstood me. I’m a master battle pet warrior and I would never hurt the young.”

Ji Zhantang sneered. Indeed, that old man didn’t hurt her. But it was already outrageous that he had tried to frighten her!

“I’m just interested to find out what you did to our young lady,” the man in the black suit reiterated. True, he was talking to another master battle pet warrior. However, they were still in the Longjiang Base City, where his family resided. If a fight couldn’t be avoided, he was sure that neither the old man nor his granddaughter would be able to leave Longjiang alive!

“What did she do? You can just ask your little Miss,” Ji Zhantang answered. Before Ji Zhantang’s voice had faded away, the girl had come back to her senses. She complained, “Mr. Huang, they were just bullying me…”

The old man in the suit couldn’t believe this.

It was his fault that the young lady had been humiliated.

Ji Qiuyu heard the girl’s words. “Just now, it was your battle pet that was going crazy and almost hurt people. No one bullied you!”

“You!” The girl glared at Ji Qiuyu. Going crazy? The old man in a suit darted a look at the Red Phantom Dog. He already knew what had happened. That was not the first time. The Red Phantom Dog had once bitten someone’s legs off and they had managed to pay that man to silence him. Did it happen again?

Since the trainer girl was there with a master battle pet warrior, the old man in the suit knew that he had to act reasonably. He looked around and picked out two people from the passengers and told them to move closer.

The two were scared but they had to do as told. The old man in the black suit stopped unleashing his threatening energy and asked about the details in a kindly manner.

The two were still trembling but they did give an account of the event.

They basically said the same things. The old man in a suit finally understood. To his dismay, indeed, they were the ones in the wrong.

Also, he had realized that the girl was a trainer. At such a young age, she was able to contain a Red Phantom Dog that was going wild in one move. She was indeed talented. Besides, she didn’t harm his young lady. Nothing serious happened, so he no longer had a reason to be so hostile to them.

It was time to show his ability as a true butler.

He was supposed to be not only strong in strength, but also skillful in talking.

To say sorry directly would bring shame to the family.

But refusing to make an apology would mean a great insult to the family.

“You must be the one the dog has frightened, right?” The old man in the black suit ignored Ji Zhantang and Ji Qiuyu, directly speaking to the event’s victim. By doing so, the old man in the black suit was trying to tell Ji Zhantang and his granddaughter that they had been too nosy when they weren’t the victims.

“Frightened?”

Su Ping was not used to describing himself with this word. “Sort of.”

The old man in a suit frowned. He took a look at Su Ping’s backpack on the ground and the clothes he was wearing. The old man was active in the upper class. He knew all the famous brands well. He could tell right away that the young man was wearing nothing but generic goods. All of his outfits combined would be less than three hundred federal coins.

He couldn’t understand why this young man was staying in this single-bedroom cabin that could cost so much for his status. Did the young man just sell the family house and was thinking about moving?

Either way, the old man reached into his chest pocket and took out some paper bills.

As a butler, it was his habit to bring cash with him, just to clean up the mess for his young lady.

“Here is ten thousand as compensation for you.” The old man in the suit handed the paper bills to Su Ping. The former did it in a way as if he were giving alms to a beggar.
