The atmosphere suddenly became a bit oppressive. The nearby companions were somewhat scared, watching them anxiously.
The richly-dressed youth, Xu Ji, wasn't the manager yet, but in the eyes of the workers, he wasn't much different. Usually, the Shopkeeper didn't like to show his face, so in this entire Manor, for any matter important or trivial, didn't he call all the shots?
How could anyone dare offend him? Weren't they afraid of being sent back?
Whether they came from the town or the village, to enter the Red Lantern Society for a living and to learn skills, their families all had to make significant efforts.
If they were sent back, they might not even want to live anymore.
Besides, this Xu Ji himself was very skilled; he understood all the techniques taught by the Shopkeeper, far surpassing the other workers. If it really came to blows, they would surely suffer...
"Grandpa, it looks like a fight is about to break out..."
