The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 357

Larry frowned deeply. The middle-aged man was definitely not joking. He seemed to expect that his employer would be served.

Dreamscape was holding a concert in the provincial capital on the following night. Considering that, he had heard that many influential figures were already arriving in town, some of whom could rival Xena's status and even look down on her.

If Xena were promoted to a Great Warlord, her status would rise even further, but for now, she still held the title of goddess of war.

Hence, Larry knew he had to change his approach to the man before him. "Sir, could you do me a favor? It's really not easy to have the goddess of war here. I'm begging you."

Having big names dine in his restaurant was undoubtedly good as it showed his food's popularity. However, he wouldn't be allowed to publicize it, so it wouldn't bring the publicity that Xena's presence would bring.

The middle-aged man sneered, refusing to back down. "I can't grant that favor. My patience is limited. You have five more minutes to think it over. If you still refuse to back down, you'll just have to deal with the consequences."

Just as Larry was feeling frantic, a Range Rover pulled up, making him even more anxious. He knew it was Felix's car. He would have gone out to confidently greet Felix if it had been earlier. However, with a troublemaker in the mix, he worried that Felix would get angry, which might jeopardize Xena's visit.
