Not long after, more than a dozen people arrived, each with extraordinary skills. From their attire, they seemed to be the staff here.
"At least there are only these two outsiders here; it shouldn't spread further."
Looking at the scene of destruction, the hall manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the incident here were to become public, it would not only damage the reputation of the "Four Directions Pavilion," but he, as the manager, would also face punishment.
The magical beast "Furious Ape Iron Battle" was quickly carried away, and the place returned to calm.
"Xiao Wu, are you hurt?" Dongfang Jinxuan, recovering from her shock, quickly turned to check on Dongfang Xiuzhe.
Dongfang Xiuzhe shook his head, indicating he was fine, but his gaze did not leave Qi Shaoshang.
This guy, his method of attacking the magical beast just now was quite unusual. He didn't expect the Iron Qin Empire to be so full of hidden talents!
Since the whole family moved to Jali City, Dongfang Xiuzhe had truly experienced what an "empire" was like!
The Lan Yu Kingdom where he used to live couldn't even compare to a single Jali City, let alone how many cities like Jali City there were in the entire Iron Qin Empire. The disparity was like the difference between a shrimp and a whale.
"Little sister, are you scared?"
Qi Shaoshang stepped forward, curious about why this pretty little girl was staring at him. It made him extremely uncomfortable!
In those clear, large eyes, it seemed as if there was a sharp sword that could see through one's heart, making Qi Shaoshang feel exposed.
"He is my brother!" Dongfang Jinxuan corrected the gender, "Thank you for your help just now!"
He is a boy?
Qi Shaoshang was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he had seen a boy with a ponytail.
"Your brother is really... cute!" He smiled, trying to cover his embarrassment.
"Can someone explain to me what exactly happened here?" Staring at the hall manager who was directing his subordinates, Dongfang Jinxuan asked with a slightly angry tone.
Thinking about the furious appearance of the "Furious Ape Iron Battle" just now, she was still shaken. If her brother had been hurt, how could she explain it to her mother?
"Madam, I am truly sorry. We did not expect this to happen. It is fortunate that neither of you were injured."
The hall manager walked over with an apologetic look. The reason why the "Furious Ape Iron Battle" could escape from its cage still needed further investigation.
"Do you know how dangerous it was just now? I can handle it, but if my brother had been hurt, how would you take responsibility?"
Dongfang Jinxuan continued to question, not because she was unreasonable, but because the safety measures here were really poor. How could a magical beast escape, especially a notorious Level 7 magical beast like the "Furious Ape Iron Battle"?
This day's good mood was completely ruined.
"Truly sorry, we will definitely correct it!" The hall manager's attitude of admitting fault was quite good.
Dongfang Jinxuan's anger subsided by half, and she didn't want to continue纠缠 with the other party. She then pulled Dongfang Xiuzhe's hand and wanted to leave.
"Second Sister, wait!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly took two steps forward, looked up at the hall manager, and asked, "Are you the person in charge here?"
Dongfang Jinxuan was taken aback by Dongfang Xiuzhe's sudden action, wondering what he was going to do.
"Since you are the hall manager here, it will be easier to handle!" A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Dongfang Xiuzhe's tone suddenly changed. He glared at the other party and said, "You don't think you can just send us away with a few apologies, do you?"
The hall manager blinked, clearly not understanding what Dongfang Xiuzhe meant.
Not wanting to beat around the bush, Dongfang Xiuzhe directly said, "How much compensation for mental distress do you plan to give us?"
Huh?
Upon hearing this, not only did the hall manager freeze, but even Dongfang Jinxuan stared with wide eyes.
Who would have thought that this eight-year-old kid would open his mouth and ask for money!
Qi Shaoshang smiled, thinking that this little boy reminded him of the seventh princess of the Iron Qin Empire, both having a precocious personality.
Thinking of the youngest seventh princess of the Iron Qin Empire, Qi Shaoshang felt a headache. If the birthday gift he prepared for her this time did not satisfy her, he would not be able to have a moment's peace.
After all, this seventh princess had the title of "Little Devil of Pranks" because she was the emperor's most beloved youngest daughter, and no one could control her!
Qi Shaoshang would rather face a furious "Furious Ape Iron Battle" than be entangled by this seventh princess.
Speaking of the "Furious Ape Iron Battle" he had just subdued, Qi Shaoshang felt something was off. A Level 7 magical beast should not be so easily defeated. It seemed to have no fighting spirit, as if it was afraid of something.
Looking at Dongfang Jinxuan, he did not sense any strong energy fluctuations. What could have made the "Furious Ape Iron Battle" so terrified?
This was something Qi Shaoshang could not figure out!
He naturally would not associate it with Dongfang Xiuzhe, an eight-year-old child.
The hall manager was amused by Dongfang Xiuzhe's words, thinking, "Where did this brat come from? He thinks he can get compensation for mental distress? I spit, he must be crazy to think of money and dare to target the 'Four Directions Pavilion'."
If it weren't for Qi Shaoshang being present, he would have already lost his temper and driven them away. But now, he could only choose to ignore it.
Who didn't know that Qi Shaoshang was the most promising young master of the beast taming family? If nothing unexpected happened, he would eventually inherit the family's position.
Any pet shop wanted to maintain good relations with the beast taming family because to successfully sign a contract with a wild pet, it had to be tamed by a beast tamer first.
All the pets sold by the "Four Directions Pavilion" had been tamed by beast tamers, and a large part of them had been tamed by the Qi family.
This was why he, as a manager, had to personally accompany Qi Shaoshang.
With a cold laugh, Dongfang Xiuzhe had no intention of letting the other party off.
Raising his voice, he continued to question, "You saw how the magical beast went berserk just now. Although my sister and I were not injured, we were frightened and might have psychological trauma. Do you think your 'Four Directions Pavilion' will not compensate us at all?"
To be honest, the magical beast should be the one with psychological trauma!
Qi Shaoshang, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh again at Dongfang Xiuzhe's eloquent argument.
He couldn't see any signs of fright in this little boy!
"Madam, please control your brother and don't cause a scene here!" The hall manager's expression turned angry as he warned Dongfang Jinxuan.
In his heart, he was thinking, "Don't push your luck!"
"Xiao Wu, let's go!"
Dongfang Jinxuan didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, this was not the Lan Yu Kingdom, and their family was not the former General's Mansion. They had no backing or influence here and couldn't afford to provoke the "Four Directions Pavilion."
"Second Sister, don't interfere with this matter!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe, on the contrary, became even more determined. He insisted on getting compensation today.
It wasn't that Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't know when to stop, but he couldn't stand these unscrupulous merchants who apologized superficially but had no sincerity.
If it weren't for his use of the Yin-Yang Eye to subdue the magical beast, or if someone else had encountered this, the outcome would not have been as harmless as it was now.
Why should merchants be so high and mighty, and why should consumers be led around by the nose? Dongfang Xiuzhe refused to accept this!
"Seems like your 'Four Directions Pavilion' is not willing to compensate at all?" Dongfang Xiuzhe's tone was calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Qi Shaoshang, who caught this moment, suddenly reined in his smile. At that instant, he felt a chill run through his body.
His intuition told him that this little boy was not as simple as he appeared!
"We have already put this place under lockdown. Please leave quickly!" The hall manager's expression turned impatient, "Also, what happened here is a commercial secret. I hope you won't cause trouble for yourselves."
The escape of the Level 7 magical beast must not be made public, especially since it almost caused injury.
So, he had already instructed the staff to seal off the area. As long as these two people didn't spread the news, and given Qi Shaoshang's character, the matter would be dropped.
"As you wish, then we will leave!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe's face suddenly showed a somewhat cunning smile. He didn't take the man's words seriously at all!
Dongfang Jinxuan, standing nearby, looked at Dongfang Xiuzhe with a hint of unfamiliarity, "Is this really my brother who 'stays at home all day and has autism'?"
The hall manager, seeing this troublesome little brat really turn to leave, felt a sense of relief. The matter was finally resolved.
But the little brat's voice floated over clearly again.
"Second Sister, do you think the 'Ten Thousand Beast Sect' and 'Tian Yun Shui Lian' would be interested in hearing the 'commercial secret' we encountered here?"
This little brat, he was definitely doing it on purpose!
The hall manager gritted his teeth but still chased after them, "P-Please wait a moment!"
The 'Ten Thousand Beast Sect' and 'Tian Yun Shui Lian' were the biggest competitors of the 'Four Directions Pavilion.' If these two organizations heard about this, they would certainly make a big deal out of it. At that point, the matter would really blow up, and he, as the hall manager, would be out of a job!
"Both of you, I was not tactful just now," the hall manager put on a smiling face again, "If you don't have any urgent matters, why don't you wait in my office for a moment?"
"We are in a hurry and don't have time!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe refused on the spot. He wouldn't fall for the other party's delaying tactics.
After some negotiation, the hall manager had no choice but to compromise, as this little brat was not swayed by any means.
They finally agreed on 140,000 gold coins as compensation for mental distress.
It was more like a "gag fee" than compensation for mental distress!
Looking at the string of numbers on the gold storage card, Dongfang Jinxuan felt like she was dreaming.
In just a short while, they had earned 140,000 gold coins?
This money came too easily, didn't it?
