"What do you mean, 'haven't offended anyone'? You've already offended, oh." She once again brandished her guitar with an air of authority, as if thrusting a treasured sword into the ground.
"Weren't you the ones who stopped a pretty girl who just wanted to get home on the street just now?"
"Well, it wasn't exactly stopping her, I was just inviting her, yes, merely inviting her for a talk." Milowan defended.
"Hmph, it's still the same, so many of you against one person, clearly bullying someone who's outnumbered, aren't you?" Ailu Kelu finally found herself a reason.
"This, I would like to say, our young master hasn't broken the law, right? The whole process was without force, just a friendly negotiation. As for you, acting so aggressively, aren't you afraid we'll call the police?" A stern lawyer following Milowan stepped forward, pointing out that the few people in front had no justification.
"Broken the law?" Ailu Kelu feigned confusion as she spoke.
"This is my shop; how have I broken the law? Are you talking about damaging property? If I break my own stuff, I don't need you to worry about it."
"As for you, you've offended us today, and if you want to keep running your shop peacefully in the future, you should find out who calls the shots on this street."
This truly made Milowan and his group apprehensive, after all, they were here to expand their business. If they opposed the local forces at the start, it would definitely be very disadvantageous, especially since there were too many methods to give them trouble even without breaking the law.
After some hesitation, Milowan decided to try and smooth things over. In his view, today's matter really wasn't a big feud and there was no need to escalate things to this extent.
"About the earlier incident, indeed we did something wrong, please forgive us." Saying this, he bowed deeply.
Seeing the other party give in so quickly, Ailu Kelu suddenly lost interest. It was finally a little interesting situation, and she had been itching for some action these past couple of days.
"Not good enough, not good enough." Her playful mood surfacing, she didn't want the matter to end so swiftly.
"Such an apology has no sincerity. Do you even know who you've offended today?" Something crossed her mind.
Now Milowan and his people began to rack their brains, wondering what significant figure this cat-eared girl might be. But Ailu Kelu certainly wouldn't throw out her real identity. She quickly interrupted their speculation.
"You've offended our young lady. She was in a good mood today and didn't deal with you, but we, as her subordinates, can't just watch you bully her."
"Young lady?" Milowan was even more baffled. Who was this person?
"Hmph, can't you tell? Do you think anyone can be as beautiful and have such a unique aura? Did you really think such girls can be found just anywhere on the street?"
"Our young lady rarely goes out for a stroll, and today she was forced back by you. Do you think that's polite?" Ailu Kelu picked up her guitar and thumped it on the ground a few times to emphasize her presence.
"Ah, you're talking about Miss 'Dantalion' from earlier. No wonder she said her real name shouldn't be revealed—so that's why." Milowan had an epiphany.
Indeed, if she was a gang's young lady, she certainly wouldn't want her real identity revealed, especially her name. But this gang's young lady is too amiable, nothing about her seemed harsh.
Maybe it was a disguise; after all, actual gang members wouldn't tattoo 'bad person' on their faces. The darker the force, the more they need to maintain a public image.
Although he came to this understanding, Milowan still found it hard to believe. Such things were too coincidental and unexpected.
He was just selecting a good-looking girl on the street to be a model for the new shop—how could he have run into a gang young lady with a hidden identity?
As unbelievable as the thoughts in his head were, the imposing beastmen surrounding him and the aura of Magic Power they emitted confirmed they were indeed legitimate Sequence 6 beings. For both today's safety and future business operations, it was best not to offend them.
"Indeed, we were impudent." Milowan gritted his teeth, realizing it was going to cost him.
"How about this, I see some furniture damaged in the shop today, and it just so happens that our 'Jiuning Purple' conglomerate has many fine products. We could provide them free of charge for the store, as compensation."
"Oh, which ones?" Ailu Kelu perked up her cat ears, swaying slightly.
"Many, such as top-notch 'Jiuning Purple' Transcendent fabric, or furniture crafted from 'Purple Leaf Sandalwood,' and also special porcelain from 'Jiuning Purple,' among others."
"They are all of the purple variety, huh."
Ailu Kelu listened, her ears swaying lightly again, a sign that the cat-eared Songstress was in a very good mood.
"Although your actions today were very reckless, considering the sincerity shown, it's not impossible to reconcile. After all, we are on the same street, and in the future, we might even become good friends."
Seeing that the other party's attitude had shifted, Milowan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had his subordinates bring up the projection board, which displayed a variety of their company's products. He introduced them to the cat-eared girl and started discussing a new decorative style for the ordinary-looking shop, along with various matching ornaments and so on.
"Not bad, not bad." Admiring the array of purple-themed items, Ailu Kelu was very pleased.
"You're all nice people, like family~"
