Liu Zheng lifted his chin.
"Oh."
The Panda placed the mountain of scratch-off lottery tickets on the counter, then was touched by the store manager with lightning speed.
The Panda was so startled that all its fur stood on end, and it jumped back to the door.
It was the first time in its life that a creature had done such a thing to it.
"This pet of yours is nice, sell it to me, you name the price."
The store manager absent-mindedly rubbed his fingertips together.
"Screw your mother!"
The Panda reacted with a furious curse, leaping to pounce on the store manager.
"Ah Bao, stop!"
Liu Zheng stretched out a tentacle to hold it back.
"First, I'm not short of money. Second, it's my subordinate, not some pet. If you speak disrespectfully again, I'm booking a Star System Level room at the Bloody Restaurant tonight."
He said to the store manager.
"What do you intend to do?"
