When Li Quan and the others heard Li Se directly addressing Young Master Song by name, and even ordering this Young Master Song to come over, their tone was utterly lawless.
"How presumptuous, to dare summon Young Master Song, what gall!"
"Who does he think he is, ordering Young Master Song over, he's truly something else."
"Indeed, he's just a sycophant relying on others' power, does he really think even Young Master Song has to give him some face?"
"..."
At once, many people looked upon Li Se with disdain. Although Li Se had the backing of the Martial Alliance and the Soul Gang, Young Master Song was no ordinary figure. He was the son of the Party Secretary, and compared to such a son of officialdom, the Martial Alliance and the Soul Gang seemed rather insignificant.
"Interesting, you know Young Master Song?" Li Quan felt Li Se was being too ostentatious. Undeniably, Zhao Ba and Elder Fu were influential figures, but compared to Young Master Song, there was still a gap. This was a genuine second-generation official, whose father was a Party Secretary. Let alone himself, even Zhao Ba and Elder Fu combined couldn't catch the Party Secretary's attention.
As for Li Se, in his opinion, he was merely acting so recklessly by relying on the backing of Zhao Ba and Elder Fu. Now, he even dared to address Young Master Song by name and summon him over. Wasn't this utter nonsense?
"I do!" Li Se nodded slightly.
"Pfft..." Li Feiming beside him couldn't help but laugh. "Who do you think you are, knowing Young Master Song? If you can know Young Master Song, let alone make me apologize to the waiter, I'd even kneel and apologize, and slap myself."
"You said it." Li Se looked at him with a half-smile.
"I said it!" Li Feiming still didn't believe it. Someone like Li Se could know Young Master Song? Even Zhao Ba and Elder Fu weren't qualified!
"Alright then, go call Song Xuehai over," Li Se waved his hand.
Bang!
Li Feiming slammed the table in anger, "What is Young Master Song's status, that we can just call him over? I'm telling you, I'm about to have dinner with Young Master Song. I'll kneel and apologize. Also, I take back my previous apology. A sycophant relying on others' power doesn't deserve my apology! And this waiter, I just wanted to play with you, what can you do? It's your honor, you scoundrel!"
Now that he had Song Xuehai's backing, Li Feiming's courage swelled. He was no longer afraid. What of the Martial Alliance leader, or the Soul Gang leader? They were nothing. In any case, he was now fearless, and thus became extremely arrogant, showing no regard for Zhao Ba and Elder Fu.
"Enough!" Li Quan chided, "Feiming, although we are about to have dinner with Young Master Song, these are still Master Ba and Elder Fu. We should still give them some face. That's why I say one should be humble, don't think you're so great just because you have a backer. You don't know there's always someone better, a heaven beyond heaven..."
Finishing, he looked at Zhao Ba and Elder Fu, a smile on his face, and continued, "Master Ba, Elder Fu, what do you think?"
Zhao Ba and Elder Fu wore rather displeased expressions. They truly hadn't expected Li Quan to bring up Young Master Song. This made them hesitant to offend him for a moment, as figures in official circles were not someone they could easily offend.
"Dad, he hit me just now, this kid must pay the price!" Seeing that Zhao Ba and Elder Fu remained silent, Li Feiming's courage grew even bolder. He pointed at Li Se and demanded an apology.
"Apologize to you?" Li Se raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing. This Li Feiming was just kneeling on the ground a moment ago, and now he was so full of confidence. However, he could tell that this Song Xuehai had quite a bit of influence, enough to make leaders of two major gangs like Zhao Ba and Elder Fu unwilling to confront him.
"Otherwise?" Li Feiming crossed his arms, saying with arrogance, "You'd better apologize, or you'll regret it. And this beauty beside you, hehe, of course, she has to serve me for a few days..."
Slap!
Before Li Feiming could finish speaking, he received a slap, which was naturally delivered by Li Se.
"You dare to hit me?" Li Feiming's eyes widened. He had Young Master Song as his backer, and this guy still dared to hit him?
Even Li Quan was somewhat angered now. Zhao Ba and Elder Fu dared not speak, yet Li Se still dared to strike his son. This was completely disregarding him. He snorted and said, "Master Ba, Elder Fu, aren't you going to manage them properly?"
Zhao Ba and Elder Fu remained silent, merely watching.
"Good, very good," Li Quan sneered twice. He looked at Li Se and said fiercely, "Kid, it seems you are determined to oppose me, aren't you? I have already retreated time and again. Do you think I'm joking with you about going to dine with Young Master Song? Or perhaps, you still don't know who Young Master Song is?"
Li Se looked at him calmly, "You're the one who thinks I know Song Xuehai is a joke, aren't you?"
"You actually know Young Master Song?" Li Quan couldn't believe it no matter what.
"Dad, quickly call Young Master Song!" Li Feiming was enraged.
"This kid is dead."
"With Young Master Song backing him, he still dares to hit the young master, truly suicidal."
"If Young Master Song finds out, he'll make him pay!"
"..."
The Li family's bodyguards were all furious.
"I said, I want you to call Song Xuehai over," Li Se said lightly.
"Divine Doctor Li, if this Young Master Song really comes, it won't be easy for us to offend him," Zhao Ba said, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Elder Fu echoed, "He's the son of the Municipal Party Secretary. Our little abilities are nothing in his eyes."
Li Se remained unfazed, continuing to look at Li Quan, "What, you can't manage to call Song Xuehai over? Then he's not your backer, or do you think Song Xuehai can support you?"
Li Quan's face was unpleasant. Naturally, he couldn't have Song Xuehai support him. But he was dining with Song Xuehai after all. Even people like Zhao Ba and Elder Fu, upon hearing this connection, wouldn't dare to offend him lightly. Thinking of this, he felt incredibly stifled and angry.
"Dad, quickly call Young Master Song!" Li Feiming yelled.
Li Quan was speechless. If he could call him, he would have done so long ago, why wait until now?
"What happened? Why the commotion?"
Just then, a familiar voice sounded.
"Young Master Song!!!" Hearing the voice, Li Quan's face lit up with joy. It was truly heaven helping him, truly heaven helping him! He hadn't expected that what was happening here would actually alert Young Master Song!
