Chapter 142: Conflict Escalates!
As Luo Xi stepped into the restaurant, sure enough, Shui Lin was raising her glass with Qiangwei and her sister Luo Xin.
Honestly, she had only been out for a short while when her younger sister, Luo Xin, started drinking alcohol while she wasn't looking.
Luo Xin was only nine years old before she transformed into a witch. Now, although she has become a witch and looks about fifteen years old, she actually dares to drink alcohol?
Then Luo Xi felt that she had no reason to stop them, since Qiangwei and Shuilin were also drinking.
I guess it's a beverage.
When it comes to beverages, she still prefers Wahaha, but unfortunately, that drink doesn't exist in this world.
Well, it's good to try everything, so as not to spoil everyone's fun.
Thinking this, Luo Xi slowed her pace and walked into the room. Then, Shui Lin personally poured her a glass of red drink.
It looks a bit like wine.
She carefully brought the cup to her lips, took a small sip, and murmured, "Hmm? It really is wine, it tastes like wine!"
Luo Xi put down her glass, shook her head, and casually pushed the glass aside, indicating that she didn't drink.
Just then, Theodore Morgan burst in.
Theodore Morgan's expression changed upon seeing the witches at the banquet, and he immediately adopted a polite demeanor: "I am Theodore Morgan. Ladies, why are you having lunch in such a small place? Why don't we move upstairs? It'll be more lively, and we can see more interesting things there."
"Where did this blond-haired, blue-eyed thing come from?" asked the younger sister, Luo Xin.
Shui Lin stared blankly at the uninvited guest, her expression completely unwavering.
She had tried her best to delay Luo Xi, Luo Xin, and Qiangwei's group, but the people in power in Qinglan City and the Witch Council branch seemed completely oblivious to the situation.
What could be more important than saving your life?
Interests? Industry? Or a higher position or greater power?
Luo Xi has wiped out the members of the Witch Council branches in Nuchuan City and Dachang City in succession. She is a killing machine!
Luo Xi had already given her plenty of face, but now, someone dared to disrupt the banquet on her turf. This person seemed to be someone hosted by the Witch Council branch.
Rose remained unmoved, as if she already knew everything.
Theodore Morgan was already regretting his impulsiveness. When he entered the restaurant and saw several young girls, he guessed that they might be another group of invited guests.
But... what kind of background could a group of young girls have? Theodore Morgan suddenly realized a possibility: these girls were all witches!
Witches! Seeing all the witches' eyes on him, his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and Theodore Morgan immediately wanted to leave the restaurant.
"Wait a minute." Shui Lin looked at Theodore Morgan, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man in front of her. "A member of the Morgan family?"
Theodore Morgan forced himself to remain calm, a glimmer of hope rising within him: "Yes, I am Theodore Morgan..."
Before he finished speaking, Theodore Morgan's entire body began to freeze, and he gradually exhaled cold air from his mouth before becoming completely still.
He was frozen by Shui Lin's magic!
"I'm sorry to have disturbed your meal," Shui Lin said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay," said Luo Xin, the younger sister, with a carefree attitude. "Let's keep eating!"
Luo Xi didn't care about what was happening in front of her. She simply found a seat and sat down: "Shui Lin, regarding the Witch Council branch in Qinglan City... I'd like to hear your opinion."
"Sigh..." Shui Lin sighed, "I have a relative who works in the Qinglan City Witch Council branch. He holds a high position and is the vice president. So I hope that when you are cleaning up the Qinglan City Witch Council branch, you can let them go."
"I see..." Luo Xi's eyes flickered slightly. "If that's all you need, no problem. What about the rest?"
Upon hearing her words, Shui Lin replied, "The rest? Do whatever you want with the rest. I guarantee that everyone I want to protect will be removed from the branch today. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want with them."
"That's good." Hearing Shui Lin's words, Luo Xi smiled slightly, gently picked up a small piece of pastry, and quietly savored it.
Just then, a group of people rushed in. Shui Lin's expression changed when she saw them.
The group saw Theodore Morgan, now an ice sculpture!
"Dad, what brings you here?" Shui Lin asked.
A middle-aged man stepped out of the crowd and went straight to Shui Lin: "What's going on!"
"He disturbed our meal," Shui Lin said calmly, regaining her composure.
"Is he... still alive?" The middle-aged man glanced at Shui Lin and asked.
"Dead." Shui Lin replied calmly.
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused your family?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man flew into a rage and raised his hand to hit Shui Lin, but Shui Lin blocked it with her hand.
Shui Lin, who had initially remained calm, finally couldn't help but sneer upon hearing the middle-aged man's words: "Do you even know how much trouble my family has caused me?"
"You need to understand that your current unbridled behavior is all thanks to your family." The middle-aged man barely suppressed his anger and continued to lecture Shui Lin.
"Relying on your family?" Shui Lin continued to sneer. "It's more like you're using my identity as a witch to amass wealth."
"Without a family, you're just a little bastard! You and your mother are both little bastards!" The middle-aged man's suppressed anger flared up again, and he attacked once more.
Shui Lin's expression changed, but she laughed: "My mother asked me to help you before she died, to use my identity as a witch to help you. I did everything I could, making deals with the witch council branch and secretly eliminating those who were detrimental to the family, turning you from a small family that started from scratch into the number one family in Qinglan City. Instead of being grateful, you're lecturing me?"
Luo Xi, Luo Xin, and Qiangwei remained silent, observing coldly from the sidelines.
"Who are they?" Upon hearing Shui Lin's words, the middle-aged man seemed even angrier, and vented his anger on the few people watching from the side.
Shui Lin's face darkened, and her voice carried a hint of tension: "They are my friends, you'd better not have any ideas."
"These little bastards don't even deserve to eat here!" The middle-aged man sensed the tension in Shui Lin's voice and sneered, "Get out of here!"
Originally, Luo Xi didn't intend to get involved out of respect for Shui Lin, but since she was implicated, she sneered inwardly and quietly asked, "Shui Lin, can you handle this? Do you need any help?"
"No need, no need." Shui Lin became even more nervous, fearing that Luo Xi might kill everyone present if she was displeased.
"I advise you to go back," Shui Lin said no more to the middle-aged man, turning to the other person, "President Yuan, take them away."
Luo Xi observed everything before her with an unchanging expression, but her mind was racing with deductions.
It seems that the Qinglan City Witch Council branch is using Shui Lin's family to threaten her. Luo Xi recalled that the Dachang City Witch Council branch had previously used similar methods against her sister, Luo Xin.
Sure enough, not everyone can easily sever ties with family. Thinking of this, Luo Xi lost interest in interfering.
But... President Yuan? Is this person from the Witch Council branch? And apparently, he's the president?
Luo Xi glanced at the person Shui Lin referred to as Chairman Yuan, without showing any emotion.
Yuan Hao was not in a hurry to leave. Seeing that Shui Lin's momentum had been suppressed by her father, he became even more smug.
Previously, when entertaining the Morgan family, this witch had used her status to pressure him, demanding that he personally come to greet them. Thinking of this, Yuan Hao felt a surge of malice and became even more audacious: "Listen to your father, tell them to get lost."
