Once he caught sight of that girl in a fierce stance behind him, Li Yi finally understood why he wanted to go for Italian Flavor .
There was a time in his past life when Jiaojiao mentioned in passing that she hated the Italian style . . .
Er . . . Did he subconsciously want to come here?
But now, Li Yi did not have time to think about this silly question .
Separated from him by a table, sat four people . Three females and a male . The young lady with a wild nature and slender legs that went for miles was none other than Invincible Jiaojiao .
A potbellied middle-aged man sat there, looking highly esteemed and projecting a dignified demeanor . One could tell he was a man of status . Beside him was a woman decked out in jewelry . She was checking herself out with a compact mirror .
Sitting next to Jiaojiao was an elegant woman . She looked younger than the jewel-adorned woman . She shared similar facial features with Jiaojiao . Li Yi knew this person . She was Jiaojiao's mother, Xie Qin .
Xie Qin's demeanor was the complete opposite of Jiaojiao's . Jiaojiao was pointing at the middle-aged man while excoriating him while she only sat there and sobbed .
"Mum, what's there to be afraid of? Did you do anything wrong? Tell him to divorce you and to never speak to us! Tell him and his mistress to scram!"
The middle-aged man was furious, "Lil Jiao, watch your attitude! I am your father!"
"I don't have a father like you," Jiaojiao glared at the woman with the mirror with disgust and spat in her face .
"My goodness!" The woman who was occupied with her mirror froze in shock . She was so stunned that she forgot to wipe the spit off her face .
"Brother Tian, so this is your well-mannered daughter!"
The woman with the mirror stood up and stamped her high heels out of the restaurant .
"Lil Qin, mind your daughter! What a disgrace to have caused such a scene in a place like this! I told you not to come here yet you insisted . How . . . How much humiliation must you bring me?" The middle-aged man covered his face with both his hands, as if afraid that someone could recognize him .
"Oh, you know what's humiliation? If you do, then you wouldn't be going for a mistress nor divorcing my mum!" Jiaojiao saw red .
"Brother Tian, our first date was in this restaurant . I have no other intention to call you here except to end things where it began . Go after your dreams and I wish you the best of luck," Xie Qin took out a piece of paper and scribbled her name on it before handing it over .
The middle-aged man quickly snatched it as though he was afraid that she would change her mind . He was happy, "Lil Qin, I know you'd understand me . "
Xie Qin bawled and bolted out the door .
"I never want to see you ever again!" Jiaojiao viciously glared at the middle-aged man before running after her mother .
A sense of loss flashed past the middle-aged man's face but was quickly replaced with joy . He grabbed the paper with both hands and ran out in excitement .
A foot suddenly stuck out beneath the middle-aged man and gently tripped him .
Wham!
The middle-aged man fell flat on his face . As he was most concerned about that piece of paper, he did not let go of it to even protect himself, bruising and cutting his nose and lips .
The one who tripped him was no other than Li Yi .
He pieced together everything that was going on from eavesdropping earlier . No wonder Jiaojiao was not in the mood to play games, it was because of all that .
"Are you alright, sir?"
A foreign waiter ran over to help him up .
"Let's go . It's time to leave, now that we're full . "
Li Yi called on Fatty and when he was near the foreign waiter, he stuck his foot out again to make him stumble . The foreign waiter lost his grip and the middle-aged man fell onto the ground once more .
"There's still half a bottle left . I'm taking it home with me," Chen Yang grabbed the bottle and snuck the half-bottle of liquor out under his coat .
The middle-aged man was bleeding from the mouth and nose yet both his hands were still desperately clasping on that piece of paper . Li Yi was able to catch a clear glimpse of its contents while passing by . It was divorce papers .
As Li Yi was walking out of the restaurant, he suddenly heard the middle-aged man shriek hideously . It so happened when Chen Yang walked by, he accidentally trod on his hand .
"I hate that sort of guy the most," Chen Yang walked out the door and spat .
Li Yi smiled . "Didn't you say a real man must have multiple wives at least? I don't think you hate him, you're just jealous, right?"
Chen Yang was disdainful . "Rubbish, the women out there should be nurtured while your own woman must be protected too . I will not be jealous of this sort of man . " He paused .
"Brother Yi, the girl earlier seemed familiar . I just can't recall where I saw her before . "
"She's our Guild Master . "
"Oh? Oohhhhhhhhhhh!" Chen Yang suddenly howled in realization, giving Li Yi a fright .
"She is more beautiful in person than in the game . Those long legs, tsk tsk . Good fortune to the guy who gets to marry her . "
As the two were conversing, the middle-aged man walked out of the western restaurant while pinching his nose . He crept into a parked Bentley by the door and left .
Chen Yang snorted, "F*ck, this fella really is rich . I heard someone said this car was at least 10,000,000 bucks . "
Li Yi did not answer him . His eyes were glued on the mother and daughter .
This mother-daughter pair were standing by the streets, hugging each other and wailing . That scene was heart-wrenching .
"These rich people are no good people," Chen Yang threw a sour remark .
Li Yi was dithering and could not make up his mind whether or not to go over . Although he was quite acquainted with Jiaojiao in the game but it was obviously not the right time and place for a reunion .
"Brother Yi, how old is our Guild Master?"
"It's either 17 or 16 . . . "
"Er . . . " Chen Yang gave Li Yi a big thumbs up .
"What?"
"Are you into her?"
"No . "
"For real?"
"For real . "
"You sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure!"
"Don't pretend now . If you're not into her, why would you give your all in creating a guild? You're lazier than me . C'mon, you can fool anybody but me . Tsk tsk . "
"She's maturing this well for a 16, 17-year-old, what more in another few years? Brother Yi, you've got some high goals . "
" . . . " Li Yi was speechless .
"What're you looking at? Never seen a girl cry? Keep looking and I'll rip your eyes out!" Jiaojiao flashed her nails at Li Yi who quickly turned away .
It was best not to engage with women who have lost their minds, especially the type like Jiaojiao .
As Jiaojiao and her mother got into a silver-gray Cayenne and left, Li Yi was drowned in all sorts of emotions .
He was happy that it would not be long before Jiaojiao's mother would purchase the house above his and when that happened, he would be close to Jiaojiao . However, he was also saddened by the separation of Jiaojiao's parents .
"Someone reported that your western restaurant is filthy . There's a fly in the soup . Seize it . "
Li Yi and Chen Yang were about to call a cab when they saw a group of uniformed men marching into the Italian Flavor restaurant . They produced a warrant to cease and desist .
"I'm sorry, my friend . We don't have soup in our restaurant and there are no flies!" The foreign waiter panicked so much that his words came out crudely .
"The food here isn't sanitary, shut them down!" The leader and over ten men swamped in and chased the customers out . The waiter was kicked aside and the door was shut with a seal .
"What's going on?" Chen Yang was baffled .
"How would I know?"
Li Yi frowned . The whole situation was extremely bizarre . Everything was fine earlier . How did it change in a blink of an eye . . .
Don't tell me . . .
Recalling the chilling look on the middle-aged man's face as he was leaving, Li Yi somewhat came to a realization .
. . .
Li Yi returned home and had his beauty sleep before getting up to log in to his game .
Little Drunk Cat Guild took turns to keep watch on Qing Pingle . A whole day had passed and Qing Pingle had attempted to escape multiple times but he did not succeed .
Li Yi had left some leeway to Qing Pingle . He did not publicize this matter yet because he was still waiting for Qing Pingle to explain himself .
With Little Drunk Cat Guild's current influence, one order to kill and Qing Pingle could kiss making it in the Eastern Continent goodbye . Unless he was willing to spend a fat sum of cash to transfer to another Continental Camp so he would escape Li Yi's grasp it would have been quite impossible as the price of transfer was a whopping 5,000,000 Gold Coins!
Li Yi sent a message to Platinum Hand leader Lil Man to inform her that he would start to clear the Instance Dungeon after two days .
Although there was only one last chance to challenge the dungeon and now he was lacking one member, Li Yi could not afford to wait any longer . If he did not settle it soon, Ivrit's first kill may land in someone else's hands .
Star Fire Guild's dungeon progress was still stuck at the Ultimate Combat Weapon but there was one guild that managed to take down the Ultimate Combat Weapon .
Shen Lang managed to learn that Dream Guild had successfully defeated the Ultimate Combat Weapon and was currently facing the Inferior Fire Elf army .
Their progress rate was the same as Li Yi's party . If he did not step up, all his efforts would go to waste .
Lil Man quickly replied that all party members were on board, including herself .
With the party members all settled, Li Yi could relax and immediately went out preparing items to clear the dungeon .
It would definitely be a tough battle to fight against over three hundred Inferior Fire Elves . These fellas were immune to all CC, including Wizard's Sheep Transformation Spell, Paladin's Repent, Thief's Blunt Object, Archer's Freezing Trap, so he sorted out a few special items .
Li Yi made the rounds with his official duties before heading to the Castellan's residence to accept a daily bounty quest .
"The Black Dragon Ferrian of Black Rock Mountain has perpetrated heinous crimes . Kill it and bring its head to me . "
Li Yi received a nasty shock from the quest he had just picked up .
Who would consider taking on an extreme quest to hunt Black Dragon Ferrian?
Black Dragon Ferrian's nest was at Black Rock Mountain, a Level 80 Dungeon . It was a powerful Ancient-level dragon boss . At this stage in the game, even if all the players of all three continents were to work as one, bringing its head back was impossible .
Completing that bounty quest was out of the question so he could only wait for tomorrow for the quest to refresh .
The Universal Key had respawned in the shop and Li Yi headed to Blade Peak to seek the Dragon Rider, Lord Augustus .
When Li Yi finally reached the top of Blade Peak, with untold hardships, to his pleasant surprise he found a golden shimmering question mark on top of Augustus' head . This was a prompt, indicating quests!
Now that Li Yi achieved 25 Pantheon Hall of Fame records, Augustus had started to distribute quests!
