"Don't use that Jianghu bravado to intimidate me. This is not a place where you can make trouble!"
The shop assistant spoke with a false bravado, and Gu Sheng coldly chuckled.
"For a mere shop assistant at a clothing store to act so high-handedly, I suspect your shop doesn't want to stay open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, his gaze changed, and a strand of Divine Power flew from his hand, coiling around the shop assistant's neck like a snake!
As Gu Sheng's hand pulled back slightly, the shop assistant's eyes widened immediately.
In just a few seconds, his face turned pale and bluish, his eyes bulged as he struggled frantically, yet he couldn't grasp the invisible line strangling his neck!
Seeing him like this, Lan Yao felt immensely satisfied.
"Serves you right! It's exactly people like you who deserve to be dealt with by Gu Sheng! Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper, get out here!"
Lan Yao shouted loudly, and others joined in as well.
Gu Sheng slightly loosened his grip, merely providing a bit of relief to the shop assistant but not letting him go.
Perhaps it was because the commotion was too loud, a woman dressed in blue soon walked out from the back of the shop.
Seeing the shop assistant in such a sorry state, her expression changed slightly.
"What are you gentlemen doing? Bullying my people in my shop is a bit excessive, isn't it?"
Upon hearing her words, Gu Sheng coldly smirked.
"Your person looks down on others, speaking rudely to us right off the bat—is this how your shop treats customers?"
Having said that, Lan Yao nodded vigorously.
"Exactly, we just wanted to look at that piece of clothing, and he started speaking rudely, constantly belittling us and saying we're worthless. We haven't killed him as a favor to you!"
"So then, do you still want to protect your staff?"
After Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and spoke these words, the woman gave a cold glance at her subordinate.
"Is what they say true? Is this how you treat our shop's customers?"
Upon hearing her question, sweat dripped down the shop assistant's forehead, but with his life still in Gu Sheng's hands, he couldn't utter a single word even with a belly full of them.
Noticing his condition, the shopkeeper looked at Gu Sheng.
"Might the guest let him go first, so he can clarify the situation?"
Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, retracting the Divine Power, sending the shop assistant sprawling onto the ground, clutching his throat and coughing violently.
Seeing him like that, the shopkeeper stepped forward and kicked him.
"Don't pretend here, speak up!"
With the kick, the shop assistant immediately clung to her leg.
"Shopkeeper, I'm innocent! These people came in and immediately eyed the most expensive garment in our shop, wanting to take it down for a feel. From their shabby appearance, it's obvious they're ordinary Jianghu folks, how could I possibly let them have such an expensive garment?"
