Top Notch War God

Chapter 49

Ali wore a bitter expression. Normally, he would be happy to collect this much money, but today was different. Mila was here to collect the management fee, and Talon was making him stay for a chat. Wasn't this disrespectful to Mila?

Of course, Ali also realized that Talon was deliberately provoking Mila.

"Sir, you should leave first!" Ali whispered. "I won't even charge you for today's drinks; consider it my treat. Mila has significant power in this area, and we can't afford to offend her."

Talon toyed with his glass and asked casually, "Is this place rented?"

"Uh, no, it's my father's." Ali didn't understand why he was asking.

"Then what authority does Mila have to collect management fees from you?" Talon continued asking.

"Well... I can't avoid it. A few years ago, a tavern in the north of the city…" Ali said in frustration.

"The north of the city... Max's territory?" When Ali mentioned "the north of the city," Talon picked up on a key term.

"Oh? Do you happen to know Max?" Ali's eyes lit up.

"Not very well, but he should give me some face." Talon smiled. If the north of the city was Max's territory, Azureblade could handle it. After all, Ali treated him to steak and chatted with him for so long.

"Hey, Ali, are you dead or what?" Mila shouted angrily. Ali had been talking to Talon for too long.

"So, are you not planning to pay the management fee, or should I ask you to leave?"

She threatened. "You have one minute to hand over the money, or you'll face consequences you can't handle!"

Ali shuddered in fear, glanced at Talon, and waited for him to nod before cautiously saying, "Mila, this guest says he knows Max. What do you think…"

"Knows Max?" Mila mumbled, then walked over, sizing up Talon, and disdainfully sneered. "Wearing clothes worth less than two hundred bucks, and he thinks he knows Max?"

Ali didn't speak and looked at Talon with doubt.

Mila wasn't entirely wrong. Judging by his outfit, he didn't seem like a wealthy person.

"If Max heard you say that, he'd slap you right away." Talon shook his head, not bothered, and continued.

"I'm here drinking today, and this just happens. Let me tell you, you're not allowed to collect any fees here in the future."

"Not allowed to collect fees? Then what are we supposed to eat?" Mila retorted.

"I don't care what you eat; there are plenty of jobs in the world that suit you." Talon put down his glass.

"So you're leaving us with no way out?" Mila's voice grew cold. "Anyone who dares to cut off our way of living, I'll cut off their life! You damn brat, I'll make you stop pretending!"

With that, Mila grabbed a bottle from the table and swung it at Talon's head.

Ali panicked, about to shield Talon with his body, but suddenly, a burly man appeared in front of him and grabbed Mila's wrist.

It was hard to say how much force was used, but the bottle flew out of Mila's hand, and she stumbled back, crashing into a table with a thud.

Mila looked dumbfounded at the burly man in front of Talon, unable to process what had just happened.

Mila, who had a reputation in this area, had actually been struck today?

"Mila, Mila, are you alright?" Ali hurried to help her.

"Get the hell away from me!" Mila pushed Ali away angrily, her face filled with fury. "Do you know who I am?"

"I'm Mila from the northern district, Max's woman. How dare you hit me? You must be tired of living!"

Azureblade's gaze turned icy and filled with disdain. He sneered coldly. "No matter who you are, in my eyes, you're no different from trash. Apologize now, or Max will have to collect his woman's corpse!"

"Haha, Max coming to collect my corpse? Good, good. I'll call Max and have him bring people over right now! Let's see who will become a corpse!" Mila said, pulling out her phone. Ali immediately became anxious and rushed forward to grab Mila's hand, nervously saying, "Mila, it's just a small matter. You don't need to trouble Max, right? I'll pay right now. I…"

"Get away!" Mila harshly shoved Ali into a seat. "It's no longer about the money. Can't you see I've been hit here? If you dare talk again, I'll kill you!" Mila said, then went aside to make the call.

Ali immediately stood up. If Max came, these two young men probably wouldn't survive.

But Talon reached out and calmly said, "Ali, don't worry."

At this moment, Mila returned after the call, gritting her teeth with anger. "Max is handling things nearby and will be here soon. You won't even know how you died!"

Azureblade suddenly looked up, his eyes emitting a coldness that could almost freeze Mila.

Mila was startled by Azureblade's gaze. What kind of eyes were those, bottomless, like hell itself?

She swallowed hard and decided to wait. She would just endure until Max arrived.

Indeed, within less than five minutes, the outside of the tavern was in chaos.

A convoy of vans surrounded a BMW as it sped up. As the car came to a stop, a man stepped out with a business-like demeanor, holding a bag under his arm.

Azureblade recognized this person. It was Max, who he had dealt with a lot when handling Corey.

After Max got out, more than sixty henchmen emerged from the vans, all carrying weapons. "Mila, who dared to offend you?" Max boasted with his large number of followers.
