THE FEMALE BOSSES.

***In the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans'..

***In a provincial eastern region of Saccurrus(Home to the Wild)..

***Quashonãßing..

***At an average restaurant called Restaurant Gobem..

..

Ignoring the perverted and disrespectful acts from the constomers, Jiang Tinelâ gathers the dirty plates from several tables and then she moves back down to the ground floor.

Taking another dirty plates off a table, Tinelâ struggles a bit with her balance as the tray in her hands is now filled with dirty llated. Knowing she is at her limits, Tinelâ moves towards the curtains that seperates the kitchen area from the main restaurant.

She manages to open the curtains as she goes into the kitchen and then, everything changes.

Tinelâ's formerly casual face now wears an expression of cold rage as she is now behind the curtains. Without a care in the world, Tinelâ wears a cold expression as as she lets the big tray in her hands fall to the ground.

†Glang†..*HANK*.±SHATTER±.†Jlang!†..*PANG*..

All the plates Tinelâ has gathered falls to the ground with most of them coldly shattering against the floor.

Letting out a steamy sigh from her lips, Tinelâ looks forward to two men wearing waiter clothes. The two men swallow under Tinelâ's cold and intense gaze though they do not dare to look at her as they look to the ground.

Looking at both men, Tinelâ is a different person as she speaks with a commanding and cold tone that sends a shiver through the kitchen space.

"Kill those men.", Tinelâ orders calmly with her eyes as cold as her words.

"As you wish great servant.", The men before Tinelâ responds deeply in unison without an hint of hesitation in their tones.

Nodding lightly, Tinelâ coldly steps over the shattered plates with her slow steps crushing the pieces of ceramics further into the ground. Uncaring, Tinelâ vwalks deeper into the kitchen.

Clearly, this restaurant is not as average at it looks and Tinelâ is not whom she seems to be to the public eye.

This fact becomes even more obvious as the kitchen's wall split open to reveal an hidden entrance. Unsurprised, Tinelâ walks through the open hidden entrance with her orders getting carried out soon after.

..

In the open restaurants, the atmosphere is still as chaotic as ever with constomers putting on nonchalantly babaric behaviors as they enjoy their meals and beers.

On the top floor, the rude group of cultivators that Tinelâ had served can be seen nonchalantly chatting over their meals as they discuss their most recent mission.

"Boss we really should spend a little more coins on potions..", a male on table thirteen(Akion) says while chewing messily on a tough piece of roasted night-snail.

"And spend a few more years saving up for breakthrough?!. No thank you.", the only woman on the table comments with a shake of her head as she picks up a mug of beer. By normal standards it is surprising that the leader of this male-concentrated group is a woman though in a world where power determines order, gender is rarely up for consideration in hierarchy exept amongst fools.

"Don't mind the idiot boss. If that fool needs any extra potion it would be to strengthen his bladders. He pissed himself two times just during our clash against the beast!.", Another male in the group(Gevâ) comments while provoking a bout of laughters around the table though the female 'boss' doesn't care as she effortless chugs down all the beer in her mug even before touching any food.

"Hey!.", The provoked man(Akion) shouts with anger at Gevâ before giving a side-glance at his female boss. Akion is obviously embarrassed to have this embarrassing fact revealed in front of their female leader.

"You should show more fire like this in battle. These days you seem to be showing colourful waters instead.", Another male on the table(Vetøn) gests to the already provoked Akion while causing another round of laughter to ring out around the table.

"I really show slap you with my shield during our next spar.", Akion says with gritted teeth to Vetøn who rolls his eyes at these words.

"Spar my foot. I have don't have enough time to waste in bullying you.", Vetøn responds arrogantly.

"What did you just say?!.", Akion asks loudly with a flaring nose as he stands up while pushing his hands against the wooden table.

"Sit.", The calm female boss casually orders.

"Yes boss.", Vetøn immediately and meekly responds as his boiling anger dissappears before sitting down.

"You all have three days free before we go back into that green hell-hole(Forest) to complete our quest. You shouldn't waste your energies on beating each other up.", The female boss advises as her fair hand reaches out to grab a fat roasted leg of some small creature.

"Boss is right.", Another man on the table(Hatu) lazily comments before focusing on stuffing his face once more though all of a sudden, everyone keeps quiet as they all turn to their female boss whose gaze has suddenly sharpened.

The entire group relies on their female leader so much that they fight only when she says to. They rest when she suggests it and they all become tense once their leader becomes tense.

Right now, their leader is tense.

"Come clean now. Have any of you stepped on any toes before I got here?.", The female boss asks with her voice low and her squad can see that their leader is truly battle tense.

Slowly looking at each other, the squad run through their memories and no-one and no encounter stands out. They obviously do not consider their encounter with the waitress Tinelâ to be anything worth mention.

Looking around at the faces if her squad, the female leader sees no trace of lies so licking her lips in annoyance, she commands.

"Follow my lead.", The calm woman says coldly before standing up and begining to walk to the stairs that leads to the ground floor.

Without hesitation or question, the entire team raises their guard as they all stand up and follow closely to their leader. Their leader has obviously saved their a*ses enough times for them to follow her without question or doubt.

Intentionally walking slowly down the stairs, the group leader's circulates hr mana as she activates an optic technique. Her brown eyes immediately gives a gentle blue glow that allows her to scans through the room with an infrared vision that shows mana concentration instead of heat.

The mana in the surrounding gives a gentle reddish hue and people with low cultivation ranks shine in the woman's vision with a soft hue of red. People with higher mana concentrations and ranks shine with a deeper hue of red.

People from the warrior's pathway shine almost uniformly in a shade of red cause their mana concerntrations is diffused almost evenly through their flesh and bones while the select two or three people from the mage pathways have most of their mana concerntrations focused in their mana veins and dantian.

Using the red hued feedbacks of her optic technique, the squad's leader can see not only the pathways but she can also estimate the ranks of the people she is observing.

With quick steps, the woman leads her squad out of the restaurant before silently deactivating her optic technique.

From her feedbacks, no-one in the restaurant has a rank that truly stands out.

Observing this fact doesn't at all make the squad leader relieved but rather more tense. She has definitely felt a mana-filled gaze directed at her squad. The concerntration of mana in the gaze the woman has felt is not one that can be generated by anyone below peak-level Rank Two!.

In a rural area like Quashonãßing, this rank is one that is levels above average. As a fellow peak level two cultivator, the squad leader is fully confident in a fight against an average person with the same rank but, something about this situation deeply triggers the woman's survival instincts.

"Boss, what happened?.", Akion quietly asks the boss now that they are out of the restaurant.

"We are being targeted. By someone very dangerous", The leader sharply responds as she walks quickly through the streets with her men following behind her.

"Where are we going now?.", Hatu asks the boss as his eyes narrows.

"To the central of the city.. it has more guards who would actually interfere in a fight.", The female boss responds calmly as she walks through the streets even faster.

"Run. Keep your pace with mine and note that separation from me means certain death. I will stall the person if I can and you all should keep running to the center of the city with the time I can possibly buy.", The female boss orders with her men fully understanding the danger of the situation from her words.

"We run in three.. two.. one!.", The boss counts down and action bursts forth on the streets.
