Before that...
Dewey, suppressing his humiliation, placed his right fist over his chest, bowed slightly, and performed a simple adventurer's gesture, "Captain Phoenix Tail Flower, please forgive my many offenses!"
"If you've got the guts, stay in the hall."
"Wait till our guild leaders' meeting is over, and then we can discuss this personally."
"That's exactly what I intend."
Lin Da smiled calmly, took Aiko's hand, and returned to sit at the table.
Hearing the name Lorrace and showing no fear, Dewey couldn't help but wonder if this man had something up his sleeve.
The onlookers, observing his demeanor, couldn't help but speculate.
If Lin Da were easy to bully, they wouldn't have let him off with just a "wait a bit."
No matter what happened today, the Zijing Stone's reputation would be shared with the Phoenix Tail Flower.
Even if the Zijing Stone Family used their numbers and power to force Lin Da to bow, it would still be the Zijing Stone Family that lost face.
