After eating some food and waiting for the new food to arrive, Yang Hong looked at the restaurant in front of him. The restaurant was not large in size. There were more than twenty somewhat old tables in the lobby. The tables were wiped clean and shiny. There seemed to be no one else in the entire restaurant except the young man and a waiter just now.

[By the way, Wutian, I want to ask, who among your group of trialists are more famous?] Yang Hong turned around and asked Wutian.

In the next action, he will inevitably have an amazing collision with these young strong men who participated in the Jiuhuang Palace. It is necessary to know yourself and your enemy, win every battle, and to know more about these people.

[Master, I don’t know the specifics, but there are a few people you must pay attention to.] Wutian said.

[Oh, let’s talk about it, who is it?] Yang Hongdao.

[Master, one of them, Zilong is invincible. This person is a genius of the Zilong family. He has a holy soldier. He also killed gods when he was thirty years old. He is really powerful.] When it comes to such a character, even Wutian has changed a little bit. Such a genius is not something he can compete with.

[Kill the god, thirty years old, it seems that the purple dragon is invincible.] Yang Hong made a very fair analysis without any sense of emotion.

[Master, this Purple Dragon Invincible is definitely a terrifying existence that you should pay more attention to. His cultivation is very terrifying, his magical power is as vast as the sea, and his magical powers are against the sky.] Wutian reminded him.

[Is this guy really that powerful?] Yang Hong asked.

[Master, I can only say it to the lower side, not to the higher side.] Although Wutian knew that Yang Hong was very strong, he was invincible in Xiao Zilong, so he spoke out to remind him.

[Then are there any other amazing geniuses? If there is one, just say it out.] Yang Hong found that he had a great interest in these geniuses.

At this moment, six big and thick men walked in from outside, and one of them immediately shouted: [Shopkeeper, the deadline for this month has arrived, hurry up and pay all the fees that should be paid.]

[Several brothers, wait a moment, I will come soon.] Luo Dong, who was in the kitchen, was busy with the meals of Yang Hong and others. When he heard someone calling him, he immediately replied loudly.

[Damn, brother, this guy won’t have to rely on our accounts.] Someone said to the leader.

[No, don't worry, Luo Dong is very cognizable, we can rest assured that there will be no problem.] The leader seems to be very familiar with Luo Dong and explain to Luo Dong.

[Brother Dong, you go out to deal with them, I'll just stare at them here.] Zhao Yang said understandingly.

[Okay, you're ready, I'll go out and take a look first.] Luo Dong replied, and then walked out of the kitchen.

He came to the counter, tinkered for a while, looked up at the six strong men in front of him, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, then took out a bag from under the counter, and said: [Masters, the shop's business is not good this month, so he can only barely make ends meet, and there is no cost to hire a client, so he can only take out so much.]

The leader took the bag, opened the count, frowned, and then shouted in a terrifying manner: [This is only a few, three thousand low-grade immortal crystals, you think we are begging for food, I care about your business, in short, 5,000 low-grade immortal crystals a month cannot be missed.]

[Brother, you can only give me a few days of gratitude. Isn’t the auction going to start in these days? This month is not enough, I will make up for it next month.] Luo Dong knew that these people were not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly said.

[Luo Dong, do you know how I told my brothers about you just now?] The leader stared at Luo Dong and suddenly said.

[This, listen carefully.] Luo Dong asked.

[They said you would be able to pay the debt, but I said you are aware of your appearance and will not pay the debt. But I didn't expect that you would actually pay the debt to me.] The boss started to take action after a big disagreement.

Luo Dong was forced to take out two thousand low-grade immortal crystals again with a bitter face and reluctant expression. This was originally what he planned to purchase. Due to the auction, prices rose. He wanted to purchase more goods, which could save some costs. However, facing these bullies, he had no choice but to surrender.

The leader counted the number of Xiaxian Crystals, and then turned around and left after confirming that it was correct.

Just as they left, Zhao Yang walked out with a few delicious dishes and said: [What's wrong with Brother Dong, are they here to collect protection fees again?]

[Yes, if this continues, our store will definitely close.] Luo Dong sighed and said, looking weak, his face full of sorrow.

This restaurant is not large in scale, and its business was not good and its profits were limited. Now it has been robbed by a bully. If this continues, it will definitely close.

[Brother Dong, we can't continue like this. We only earn a lot in a month. Once we pay this protection fee, we have very little left.] Zhao Yang said with anger.

Luo Dong sighed and said, [This is impossible. Who made no one support us? It’s the same wherever we go.]

After hearing this, Luo Dong's head hangs and his face is helpless.

[Shopkeeper, I wonder what protection fee they charge? Does everyone who opens the store have to pay?] Yang Hong, who was sitting not far away, suddenly asked.

Zhao Yang then remembered the dishes in his hand, so he quickly came to Yang Hong's table, put them down one by one, and then replied: [This young master, of course, is a protection fee. No one can be missing from a low-grade fairy crystal per month. A small shop like ours only earns more than 13,000 low-grade fairy crystals in a month. After removing the three thousand low-grade fairy crystals handed over by the city lord's mansion, there is nothing left, and he can only barely make a living.]

[Does every store have to pay the protection fee?] Yang Hong then asked, how did he find that some things in Qingyun City are the same as those in China, and there are also bullies and hooligans.

Luo Dong shook his head and said, "[Every store must pay the taxes in the city lord's mansion. However, those people just now were people from some gangs. Relying on some forces in the city, they began to specifically select small stores without backstage support to charge fees randomly."

Yang Hong was silent, and he knew something like this in his heart.

It happens everywhere. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if you don’t have strength, you will only be bullied. This is the unspoken rule of almost every world.

[Shopkeeper, is there any room available?] At this time, a voice came from outside, and several young men in white robes walked in from outside.

Seeing a guest coming, Zhao Yang quickly greeted him and said with a smile; [Yes, of course there are guest rooms. I wonder how many guest officials need?]

Several young men looked around the restaurant with a proud expression, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: [The conditions here are too bad, can the young master be used to living here? If he is angry, we will not have any good results.]
