Luck is a Charm

Zen chats with Angela for a bit more before telling her that he will bring Lena into a mysterious space to prevent her illness from deteriorating. 

Angela gladly accepts his offer since making her mother stay in this house any longer without anyone watching over makes her cautious at all times.

If malicious people were targeting her and kidnap her mother to threaten her then she would be helpless.

Zen simply smiled as he asked Cecilia to do the work for him. Once Lena disappeared, Zen got up before getting ready to leave.

"Where are we going now Zen? The auction house is tomorrow and there are still many hours left before it begins." Angela followed behind as she asked him.

"We haven't eaten yet so we should look for a restaurant to stuff our tummy," Zen said as he held her hand before leaving.

During their walk, Angela spoke her entire story from start to finish without missing any details.

Zen paid attention before nodding his head slightly since he'll have an idea on who to kill.

"That's good enough Angela. It's time to ignore that past and let me handle the rest. What you have to do at this moment is bring me to a good restaurant where they have delicious food." Zen smiled as he pats her head lightly.

However, he couldn't wait to meet those people in the auction house since they're a wealthy family and they will not miss this annual auction.

'Watch me make you puke blood as you people go into depression.' Zen said inwardly as they entered a restaurant.

The restaurant they entered has 4 floors in total with each different floor indicating their status. The 1st floor is for those normal people without background and the 2nd floor is for those with some power.

The 3rd floor is the most common with everyone coming from a wealthy background or high cultivation base. The last floor is reserved for those at the top of the social leader.

"Hello customer, do you have a reservation?" A lovely receptionist said to Zen and Angela politely.

Zen looked inside and was surprised to see it being pretty average even though there were many customers. It was nothing special considering their reputation in the Jade Kingdom.

"I don't have a reservation but I suppose you can arrange for me to be on the 3rd floor." Zen decided to keep his arrogant act and ordered the receptionist.

The receptionist kept an awkward smile before saying, "Apologies sir, if you don't have a reservation then you can only dine on the 1st floor. However, the 1st floor is currently full so you would have to wait a bit."

Zen raised his eyebrow a bit before smiling at the receptionist. "No, it's my apologies as I should have just destroyed your building for refusing my patronage."

Zen said as he waved his hand opened and a flame instantly appeared. Seeing his violent action, the guards hurriedly rush toward Zen before telling him to stop.

"Drop your violence before you regret your action boy."

"Heh, to dare make trouble in the Palace Moon Restaurant, you have a death wish."

The guard shouted toward Zen as the receptionist kept her calm like it was normal for this kind of scene to occurred.

'Another arrogant youth who think they are full of themselves.' The receptionist sighed inwardly when she stared at Zen who will be beaten soon.

A chill smile appeared on Zen's face as he wanted to create chaos in this restaurant, to begin with.

That is because this restaurant has some background that is related to Angela's distress and reason for her living in a broken house.

"I give you a count of 3 to get your owner to come out before I thrash her guards and maybe break some bones. Matters of fact, I'm going to trash them either way and the owner must give me an explanation for this kind of service." Zen said slowly as he stepped forward.

"Overconfident brat, prepare to die."

One guard shouted as he charged toward Zen while casting Ice Arrow on him.

Zen remained still but the Ice Arrow passed through him as it shot the wall but because there was a formation here, the impact was absorbed.

"As expected of a reputed restaurant, even the walls are reinforced properly. Oh, my bad, I meant that the guard they hire is pretty dogshit and trash. To think he not only missed the target but also tried to destroy his owner's property." Zen laughs aloud from this kind of outcome.

The commotion was loud as the customer on the first floor was already watching this scene for enjoyment.

They were laughing at how another arrogant youth will be beaten in one move but after hearing Zen's remark. They couldn't help but contemplate a bit before finding his word reasonable.

"Hey, that youth has some abilities to be able to dodge the guard's Ice Arrow."

"Don't forget about his sharp tongue of remark from that missed shot."

"Hahahahaa"

The customers started laughing and the receptionist was dazed as she expected this to be finished already.

The guard who fired the Ice Arrow was embarrassed when he became a laughing stock as he chanted more spells to fire at Zen.

"Mother fucker, take my Icicle Lance and Ice blade." The guard shouted as the lance and blade started flying toward Zen.

Zen told Angela to move away a bit before he combusted his flame and fired toward the ice.

*Boooom*

Zen easily neutralizes the guard's spell before shaking his head in disappointment.

"Man, even my grandma can hit harder than that. Did they really hire this kind of guard to perform a clown's show? My goodness, I didn't sign up to play an act with this clown." Zen smacks his forehead as he sighs loudly.

Being dramatic and having a cheeky smile on his face, the remaining guard couldn't take the insult any longer as they all tried to rush forward to teach Zen a lesson.

"Die you little brat." They screamed as they waved their swords to swing at Zen.

Zen turned solemn as he believed it's time to kill them all in one swoop. With a snap of his finger, Zen activated his essence flame as he prepared to burn them all into a crisp.

When Zen was about to fire his essence flame, a loud voice came from upstairs.

"Stop this farce already," A woman's voice shouted loudly and the guards instantly froze in position.

Zen also took away his essence flame at this time since he finally met the owner who refused to show up until now. 'Come out any later and I would have destroyed your restaurants.'
