Farewell for Now

The Xia brothers trusted Zhang Feng and bought his equipment. That was why the system rewarded him with his items. Gathering momentum from there, his shop slowly got better.

Hence, he treated it as a farewell gift for Xia He and Xia Xi.

Xia He did not stand on ceremony at all. He took the weapon from Zhang Feng and laughed brightly. "Is this for real? Then thank you Boss! Although you look cold, you're actually a very warm-hearted person, Boss."

Seeing how happy his brother was, Xia Xi also thanked Zhang Feng. "You're really a very good boss."

Zhang Feng waved his hand, indicating that it was alright. "It's alright. I hope you guys will work harder."

After all, the Xia brothers were not from Zhiyue City. It was only a matter of time before they left.

After they bade each other farewell, Xia He happily took the weapon Zhang Feng gave him and left Zhiyue City with Xia Xi.

After a long while, Zhang Feng started to think. He muttered, "Oh right, the Glory Training Grounds is not far from Zhiyue City, right?"

Half an hour later, a rough voice came from outside. "Strange, when did a shop open up in this place?"

Outside Zhang Feng's shop, there was a tall man with a build like a bear. His muscles were well-developed, but his face was not well-defined. Simply put, he was just a well-built bald man.

The bald man looked fierce as he walked in with a large knife in his hand.

As the bald man walked in, he said with ill intentions, "Hey, is there anyone inside?"

Zhang Feng popped his head out from the counter and went up to him. "I'm the boss of this shop. May I know what you would like to buy?"

The bald man was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he found Zhang Feng unfamiliar. Furthermore, it seemed like Zhang Feng did not recognize him.

Thus, the bald man felt a little angry. His face turned serious and he started shouting loudly, "You brat! You opened a shop in Zhiyue City and you don't even know me?!"

Actually, in his mind, Zhang Feng was thinking. Why should I know you? However, he remained calm on the surface. "May I know who you are?"

"Me? I'm Silver Tiger. Anyone who runs a shop on this street has to pay me management fees. Don't you know?"

Silver Tiger pointed at him and raised his head as though he was looking down on Zhang Feng.

About these management fees, it is not referring to property management fees, but rather, giving the local tyrants here some money. Otherwise, they would come looking for trouble every few days.

Actually, Zhang Feng had been in Zhiyue City for more than a month now, and he had heard of such things before. No matter what, Zhiyue City was a relatively remote city, and cannot be controlled by the central cities.

Hence, there were many local tyrants who went around to cause trouble. However, Zhang Feng's shop was definitely different from other shops.

Zhang Feng didn't know and didn't want to know whether the other shops pay or not, but he would never let such a person cause trouble in his own territory.

"So you're saying that you didn't come here to buy my things but to cause trouble?" Zhang Feng's tone was still as calm as ever.

"Cause trouble? You must be joking. Do you think we will cause trouble? If you pay the management fees, I can punish those people who cause trouble. But if you don't pay the management fees, then it's hard to say. Who knows, someone might come and destroy your shop tomorrow." The meaning of Silver Tiger's words was clearly to threaten Zhang Feng.

"Oh, okay. I won't pay the management fees. I'm looking forward to seeing how those people are causing trouble in my territory."

When Silver Tiger heard Zhang Feng's words, he instantly burst out laughing. "Sure, you've got guts!"

Then, he turned to leave while laughing loudly.

Zhang Feng knew that he did not need to bother about such people. Didn't the system give him some defense systems? If someone came to his place to cause trouble, he could just activate the defense system and they would be in trouble.

"Ah! Zhang Feng! Just ignore him!" An old uncle suddenly walked into Zhang Feng's shop.

This old man owned the shop next to Zhang Feng, and specialized in selling supplementary equipment. Their monthly income was just enough to feed their family.

The old man said, "I just saw Silver Tiger leave your side. Did he come over to ask you for management fees?"

Zhang Feng answered honestly, "Yes, but I didn't give it to him."

When the old uncle heard that, he knew that things weren't looking good. "You're not giving him management fees? If that's the case, it'll be a bit troublesome. It's fine during the day, when there are still some mercenaries watching on the streets. However, when night comes, they will definitely bring their brothers to find trouble with you."

Zhang Feng shrugged. "Oh, is that so? I really want to see how capable they are."

The old man was called Ah Bang. He was middle-aged and was already past his prime. However, he was not a bad person. When Zhang Feng first came over, this Uncle Ah Bang had helped him and given him some food.

"Hey, Zhang Feng, just saying, but young people like you shouldn't offend someone just because of a moment of impulse!" Uncle Ah Bang wanted to persuade Zhang Feng. If something really happened, it would not be good.

"Silver Tiger is well known in this area, to be vicious. If you offend him like this, you might not have a good ending. Listen to Uncle's advice and pay the management fees!"

The people who opened shops here were all angry at people like Silver Tiger but did not dare to speak up. They only wanted to earn a living. Who wanted to bring trouble to themselves?

Zhang Feng naturally knew that Uncle Ah Bang was concerned about him, but he really wasn't too worried. The system wouldn't let anything happen to him, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll help you teach this Silver Tiger a lesson."
