COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD - Season 3 Episode 25

Austin placed his Violet Royal Sword away, and then found about five or six thousand vital energy crystals.

“Such a beggar!”

Austin cursed, feeling very unsatisfied about his earnings that day.

Austin was about to spend 1 million vital energy crystals without hesitation.

However, those five or six thousand vital energy crystals were still of great importance to him. He refused to ignore any crystal or leave them uncollected. Therefore, he placed those vital energy crystals inside his Space Ring.

Then, he dragged the two bodies and buried them in a remote forest.

He came back to the hotel and immediately fell asleep. It was around noon already when he finally woke up.

He got up and found nothing else to do for the day. Thus, he decided to have some fun in town.

At the same time, a fierce-looking man in black bellowed out a roar of sadness in a remote forest outside the Peace Town.

Anger had already engulfed him. He seemed to have gone mad with despair.
Two bodies were lying before the middle-aged man in black, which had already been bitten by wild dogs or other beasts. They were Marvin and Billy.

“Who did this? Who killed my son? I will definitely find out who the murderer is and avenge Marvin.

It must be Austin. He did this. He murdered my son and let him rot here.

Marvin came here to hunt Austin. Now he’s dead. It must be Austin who killed him. Austin, you filthy murderer.

I will personally hunt you down and kill you.

… …”

The middle-aged man turned out to be Johnson, the uncle of Marvin and steward of the Sun Sect.

But the truth was that Marvin wasn’t really Johnson’s nephew. He was actually his son. Johnson cheated on his wife and had an affair with his sister-in-law. Marvin was then borne from that affair.

They were connected by blood. Therefore, Johnson swore to kill Austin and avenge his son. Nothing could quench his anger, except killing and spilling Austin’s blood.

… … … …

Back inside the tavern, Austin went up the stairs quickly and reached the second floor.

The first floor was used to accommodate the establishment’s regular customers.

However, the second floor was different. It was decorated elegantly and exquisitely. Only those distinguished and rich customers could book a table on the second floor.

“Sir, what’re you doing here? Each guest will be charged with 400 vital energy crystals even if you don’t have a meal on the second floor,” said a waiter to Austin.
He blocked Austin’s way into the second floor. Austin was only wearing ordinary clothes and seemed to be nobody, or just an insignificant disciple from an unimportant sect.

Meals were extremely expensive in the Lotus Tavern, and those regular warriors couldn’t even afford a meal here.

However, some poor warriors would sometimes earn some money out of sheer luck and want to have a taste of the extravagant life inside the Lotus Tavern. They would book a table just to show off.

This waiter must have confused Austin with one of those poor warriors who suddenly got rich.

Anybody who booked a table on the second floor would be charged with 400 vital energy crystals, even if he hadn’t ordered a meal.

However, when those poor warriors found out that the entry charge on the second floor was 400 vital energy crystals, they would reconsider and oftentimes would rather choose to dine on the first floor instead in order to save money.

Austin kept silent and waved his hand, throwing 1, 000 vital energy crystals at the waiter’s face. He then continued his ascent towards the second floor without as much as a single glance on the dumbfounded waiter.

Sparkling vital energy crystals fell on the waiter’s body hard. He winced as a sharp pain shot through his head. Then, the energy crystals were all over the floor.

The waiter glowered furiously at Austin’s disappearing figure. Moments later, he silently swallowed the insult and humiliation. He stooped down to pick up the crystals.

After all, it was his fault for judging Austin based on his appearance and clothing. He was duped into thinking that he must be one of those poor people who couldn’t afford a meal on the second floor. He had insulted one of his potential customers, and if a complaint was submitted to his boss, he might be punished.

Once Austin entered the second floor, a dozen pair of eyes stared straight at him.

All of the guests on the second floor were either renowned, wealthy or powerful, being cold, arrogant, cultivated, elegant or just indifferent to everything occurring around them. None of them seemed to belong to the lower class.

Austin sat at a table near the window facing the street outside.

He was waiting for a waiter to bring him the menu.

… … … …

“Good morning, sir. What would you like to eat? All dishes offered by Lotus Tavern are cooked with the blood and flesh of high-grade diabolic beasts, seasoned with all kinds of fresh drugs and herbs. They are really tasty and nutritious meals. You’ll feel refreshed and invigorated after eating our food here.

More importantly, our food can help your body grow, nourish your vitality and help promote you to another martial arts level at a faster rate.

Therefore, most of our meals are quite expensive.

Sir, please have a look at our menu,” said the waiter who just insulted Austin and at the same time was humiliated by him.
The waiter was exactly the one to whom Austin threw 1, 000 vital energy crystals. He hated Austin for his impoliteness and brought him the special menus in which only the most expensive dishes were listed in order to pay him back.

The least expensive dish in this menu cost 1, 000 vital energy crystals, while the most expensive one was worth more than 6, 000 or 7, 000 vital energy crystals.

The waiter had been assessing Austin the entire time, and concluded that he couldn’t be someone who was rich, powerful or influential. Austin, with regular appearance and clothes, just threw 1, 000 vital energy crystals on the floor to save face.

Perhaps, the 1, 000 crystals were all that he had.

Finally, he decided to pick an extremely expensive menu to embarrass Austin.

However, after hearing what the waiter had said about the menu and the dishes, Austin realized that all of them could be beneficial to the cultivation of his marital arts and body building. His curiosity was peaked with the dishes and what the restaurant could offer.

As it was, those dishes were cooked with the blood and flesh of diabolic beasts, seasoned with all kinds of elixirs and herbs. Spiritual energy from both earth and heaven had been absorbed and included in those dishes. Surely, they would help boost Austin’s practice in his martial arts.

Austin was obsessed with the cultivation of martial arts. He would do anything in order to make breakthroughs in the shortest amount of time via the safest possible ways.

Therefore, Austin had decided to have a taste of those dishes in spite of their high prices.

He read the menu carefully and slowly, intending to pick some meals more suitable for his cultivation of martial arts.

However, upon seeing Austin lower his head and keep quiet, the waiter thought that he must be shocked by the extremely expensive dishes in the menu and was contemplating whether to order or not.

He laughed triumphantly in the back of his mind, thinking that he had succeeded in embarrassing Austin.

“Haha! Sissy, look at the poor young man. He tried to look rich and dared to order meals on the second floor. Now, he’s shocked and finally realizes that he can’t even afford a single dish here.”

Although the waiter somehow refrained from laughing at his customer publicly, a loud and sneering voice was heard from the other side of the room.

There seated was a man in his early youth, surrounded by two of his servants.

A beautiful girl sat in a chair opposite his. In order to humor the girl, the young man tried to make Austin an object of ridicule.

Meanwhile, the beautiful girl who sat opposite, chuckled while shooting cursory and disgusted glances at Austin.

This young man, maybe a young master from a wealthy family, wasn’t a local of the town. Being born and having lived his entire life in a small city, he was betrothed to a beautiful village girl by their parents when they were still in the wombs of their mothers.

Today, he had come to Peace Town to meet his fiancee for the first time.

Upon seeing his fiancee, he found her really beautiful and captivating. Satisfied and delighted, he felt sexually excited and attempted to lure her into bed with whatever means necessary. It didn’t even matter to him whether they would get married or not in the end.

To show off his wealth, he took the girl to the most luxurious restaurant in the town. If everything went according to his plan, he would definitely have some fun in bed with his fiancee tonight.

However, he was offended when he saw a regular young man walking up the steps and casually strolled in the room on the second floor.

Actually, he despised all people from small towns and villages.

When he caught Austin’s facial expression, he thought he must be shocked and embarrassed by the high prices on the menu.

He couldn’t help laughing loudly.

“Bro, you have no idea how many beggars are living in this town. They will never be you, no matter how hard they try. A thousand vital energy crystals are but change for you. But for them, a crystal is perhaps all they have,” said the beautiful young girl.

She just couldn’t miss the chance to please her husband-to-be.

The waiter took the hint and joined this couple in making fun of Austin.

“You’re right, my lady. So many poor men tried to look rich by ordering dishes on the second floor but eventually got themselves embarrassed when they read the high prices on the menu. None of them could afford any dish we offered. They just had no money at all. Haha!”

All of them thought Austin must be one of those young men who tried to appear rich. Their lives were quite boring for them and they just couldn’t miss the chance to laugh and insult those people they deemed inferior in social stature.

“What?”

Austin finally raised his head and shot a curious glance at the couple sitting on the other side of the room. He found them repulsive, as if they were two flies trying to disturb his good mood.

He shook his head helplessly, looked away from them, and continued to read the menu carefully and slowly.

However, Austin’s scornful and cold glance angered the young master. How dare he, a nobody, look down on him, especially when he was with his fiancee on a date.

“You’re so impolite and rude to me. Do you even know who I am? Have you ever realized the difference between your stature and mine?

Afu, go and slap him on the face 10 times. He should be taught a lesson and learn to show some respect to a lord.”
