Chapter 2894: After Chapter 2914: After the ritorious Service, Is It a Mont of Peace?
The man responsible for handling the tickets glanced over here, and the few remaining people here instantly tensed up.
The ticketing man seed like he wanted to say sothing, hesitated for a mont, then withdrew his gaze, and nodded to the man in fine clothing, signaling for him to follow him.
When people saw the two of them heading toward the materials collection entrance, they imdiately sensed sothing was amiss.
This is queue jumping through the back door!
“Manager Chen!”
Xiong Yaxiong, the man in front of him, could no longer hold back, and stood up just as the person collecting materials before him left. He then asked, “Is it my turn now?”
The ticketing man, also known as Manager Chen, furrowed his brows, “You’ll need to wait a mont.”
The man’s expression imdiately grew frustrated, but he still suppressed his anger, “According to the order, it should be my turn to collect the materials now!”
Manager Chen’s face darkened, and his voice rose slightly, “I said, wait a mont!”
The man clenched his teeth, “Manager Chen, you’ve already taken my ticket, does waiting a bit an I can receive the materials?”
It was quite clear, including Lin Chen and the last few people, that they were being cut in line. The man was already very angry, but still tried to hold back his fury, hoping to get a promise from Manager Chen.
Regardless, everyone was here to collect materials, and as long as they could eventually get them, the mission would be considered accomplished. If they were cut in line, so be it.
Manager Chen frowned, thought for a while, then suddenly went inside the house. After a mont, he returned, and with a flick of his hand, three tickets flew over.
“There was a miscalculation in the inventory earlier; this batch of materials has already been distributed, and there’s none left now. You’ll have to wait for the next batch.”
Manager Chen looked at the man, whose face was filled with anger, thought for a while, and added, “I’ve taken down your nas. You’ll definitely get them in the next batch.”
Everyone’s face changed color simultaneously. Your backdoor dealings are too blatant.
Are you not even bothering to cover it up anymore?
The man’s face turned red with anger, eyes surging with rage; he clenched his teeth and after a mont, struggling to contain his fury, he asked, “When will the next batch of materials arrive then?”
Manager Chen shook his head, “These materials are allocated from various Immortal Domains, the journey is long, and the ti is uncertain. If you’re lucky, they might arrive tomorrow; if not, it could be a month or two. Anyway, just wait. When the next batch arrives, co early, and I’ll have soone issue them to you first.”
Ti uncertain?
Although Manager Chen said he would issue materials to everyone first next ti, this statent seed perfunctory. Moreover, they had already been waiting for a long ti. When would the next wait end?
I ca here with my ticket to collect what I’m entitled to, not to beg for charity!
The man could no longer contain his anger, pointing at the man in fine clothing, “Is it because of him, cutting in line to collect materials, that we, who were supposed to have them, end up with nothing?”
The man in fine clothing just smiled slightly, saying nothing, hands behind his back, his expression relaxed, as if he was not involved.
Manager Chen’s expression turned cold and stern, “This is our internal matter, it has nothing to do with you, please leave now!”
The man was at his breaking point, and yelled, “I’ve been waiting here for two years to collect materials, and each ti there are various reasons for stalling and delay. Today, there clearly were materials, but others were allowed to cut in line and not . This is underhanded, and I will report you!”
Manager Chen, unafraid, said coldly, “Dangxing Sect, right? Go ahead and report if you want to. Do you know who he is?”
The man angrily replied, “I don’t care who he is, by the rules it should be my turn to collect the materials. Why does he get to cut in line?”
Manager Chen calmly stated, “He is Zhou Daocang, the Sect Master of the Soul-shaking Sect, from the Zhou Family, that Zhou Yijian’s Zhou Family. Even if he cut in line, go ahead and report.”
The man’s previously angry face suddenly froze.
Not only did his face freeze, but so did the equally frustrated Xiong Yaxiong and others nearby; their faces drastically changed.
The man in fine clothing still stood with his hands behind his back, his expression idle, with a hint of hidden pride, as if he was watching a play.
Zhou Yijian?
Is he that impressive?
Lin Chen sent a telepathic ssage to Chi Ya beside him, whose expression was also off, “What’s the matter, is this Zhou family really that powerful and influential?”
Chi Ya lowered her head, responded telepathically, “Zhou Yijian is one of the nine people on the Immortal God Stele, who had once made unparalleled contributions to the Immortal Realm… Uh, Sect Master, the Immortal God Stele is…”
“I know.”
Lin Chen cut off Chi Ya’s words, his eyes narrowed slightly, quickly pondering in his mind.
People whose nas are on the Immortal God Stele all have made unparalleled contributions and are highly regarded for their significant deeds to the Immortal Realm, so his family would surely be respected because of this.
Seeing the situation, the materials Zhou Daocang required today seed substantial, maybe even picking through for the best ones for him. Thus, after he collected, the others, including myself, might not be able to collect anything, making today’s trip in vain.
If lucky, and Manager Chen keeps his word, the next batch will be issued to us first. If unlucky, the next ti, he might deny knowing us or delay again.
So, the question is, should I back down?
