SWNOVELS Chapter 19: Management fee
"What do you want?" Qi Le did not change his tone.
"I'm Iron Wolf, the shops on this street must pay me a management fee." Wolf Iron pointed to himself, raised his head, and said arrogantly.
When talking about management fees, they are actually asking for protection fees to protect then from the local bullies.
Qi Le has been in the cloud city for some time now and was clear about these things.
After all, the cloud city belongs to a border town, the government control is weak and the emperor is far away, and a large number of mercenaries gather here, these evil forces naturally have ease in forming.
However, his store is different from other stores.
"So you're here to make trouble?" Qi Le's tone was flat.
"We never make trouble, but if you do not pay the management fee, maybe when you fall asleep by midnight, the store will be crashed." The Iron Wolf was not angry but only said casually.
He seemed like he was warning him, by pretending to be thinking out loud.
"About that, I'll be here, waiting respectfully for your honorable self." Qi Le said calmly.
"Okay, it seems you have some spine, best of luck." The Iron Wolf raised his thumb and turned and went out of the shop without looking back.
Qi le did not care at all about such people.
This was because he also wanted to see what the defense system installed by the system was capable of doing.
"Qi Le, Qi Le, I saw the Iron Wolf coming out a moment ago. Did he come here to you to collect the management fee." At that moment a middle-aged bald man came in with a frowning look.
Qi Le knew this person, he owns the shop next to his store.
Before Qi Le crossed into this world, the shop left by the parents of this body was handled by this person.
Looks like he's been extorted a lot.
However, in the beginning, this person helped Qi Le a lot, and he also helped him a lot in handling the funeral, also supported him emotionally.
Of course, not the present Qi Le.
"Yes, uncle Chai." Qi Le nodded.
"Oh, those damn guys, we do not earn much in the first place, but they still have to suck our blood." Uncle Chai sighed and said sadly.
"I did not give him any." Qi Le said lightly.contemporary romance
"What? You did not give it? Then there will be a lot of trouble. The gang will definitely come to smash your store at night." Uncle Chai looked at Qi Le in surprise.
"Then I want to see, what they will use to smash my store." Qi Le smiled and said without caring at all.
"Qi Le, I know, you are young and energetic, but you do not know how strong the Iron Wolf is." Uncle Chai said in a preachy tone and could not help but shake his head.
Then he continued, "there was a person who did not believe that those evil guys will do anything, like you."
"As a result, that night, his store was smashed by the Iron Wolf gang."
"In the end, the guy had no choice but to sell the store and merchandise at a low price and was forced to leave Cloud City."
Having said this, Uncle Chai shook his head helplessly.
For the Iron Wolf gang, they felt resentful but dare not speak against.
"Uncle Chai, do not worry, I am different from them." Qi Le also knew that Uncle Chai was concerned for him, so he explained.
However, he did not explain in detail.
After all, the Iron Wolf has been gaining power in this cloud city for a long time, and it is not his only words that can allay the worries of uncle chai.
"Hey, when you get the lesson, you will know that these people are not kind" Uncle Chai sighed and left the store with an expression of unbearable sorrow.
Qi Le was still sitting behind the counter, and after some time, he closed the store.
It is hard to imagine that today he made no sale, thus made no money.
