Aldan was dumbfounded.
All he did was show off his authority in a small tavern. He never thought that he would provoke the smiling tiger Abraham.
His face was already swollen and painful. There were even a few pig ears on his face. The red oil flowed down his neck and dripped onto his official robe, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.
Abraham was famous for his good temper, but anyone who was old or had reached a certain position knew that he was the one who killed his two elder brothers to help His Majesty ascend to the throne. He was a ruthless man.
"I wouldn't dare... I wouldn't dare..." Aldan quickly shook his head, sweat dripping from his forehead.
As an experienced official, he still had the basic ability to read people's expressions. He could tell that Abraham was not in a good mood.
Joseph also quickly said, "Duke, you must be joking. How could we let you pour wine for us? We didn't notice you were in the tavern. Otherwise, we would have all come to propose a toast to you."
The officials from the Ministry of Justice all agreed. They were all panicking and no longer had their previous arrogance.
"So it's Duke Abraham. I didn't expect him to be drinking here."
"That's right. These lords have kicked an iron plate."
"If that's the case, then this tavern must have quite the backing. Even Lord Abraham is backing them."
The customers in the tavern were shocked by Abraham's identity. At the same time, they looked at Aldan and the others as if they were watching a good show.
The more arrogant they were before, the more embarrassed they were now. This reversal was pleasing to the eyes.
Abraham looked at Aldan, who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered, "I think you're all used to being officials. You think that everyone has to bow down to you when you're outside, right? Even such a small and cute girl has to pour wine for you? "
"Duke, please listen to me..."
"Boohoo... he's so fierce. I'm so scared..." Amy, who had been holding her cheeks and watching the show, suddenly turned around and hugged Meg's arm. She said cutely, tears glistening in her big eyes.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared." Meg glanced at Amy. Since when did this little rascal become so good at acting? She was already putting on an act.
"Look at how scared the little girl is. What are you trying to say?" Abraham kicked Alden to the ground and became even more furious.
He already had a ball of fire in his heart, and this incident had made him even angrier. Now that Alden was here, he might as well find something to vent his anger on.
Aldan didn't dare to fight back after being beaten up. He didn't even try to dodge. Even his cries were muffled.
The expressions of Joseph and the others changed slightly as they watched from the side. However, no one dared to step forward to stop or mediate.
Given Abraham's status, even if they were officials of the Ministry of Justice, it wouldn't matter if they were beaten up. At most, His Majesty would scold them a little, but there was no way he would do anything to the duke because of them.
Alden had gotten himself into trouble because of his mouth. At least Abraham wouldn't beat him to death on the spot.
Abraham was a little tired from the beating, so he stopped. He looked at Alden, who was lying on the ground with his hands covering his crotch, and said, "Today's incident is over. Let me tell you, from now on, this tavern will be under my protection. If any of you need someone to pour you a drink, come and find me. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied."
Everyone quickly shook their heads. Who would dare to ask this fiend to pour a drink?
Mag was also looking at Abraham with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't think that Abraham would be so domineering after returning to his home turf.
However, it was a good thing for Saipan Tavern to have the protection of a duke like this.
"I didn't expect to be able to ride on his coattails so quickly." Meg nodded. It was naturally best that he didn't have to deal with some small problems personally.
With Alden as an example, no one would dare to cause trouble in the tavern for a long time.
"You wasted a plate of my pig ears salad. I'll take this one." Abraham took a plate of pig ears salad from the table. After thinking for a while, he took a plate of pig tongue salad.
Joseph and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. With Grandpa Fatty here, no one will dare to bully you in the future." Abraham strode over to the counter with a smile, completely devoid of his previous domineering demeanor.
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Fatty. Grandpa Fatty is mighty and domineering." Amy nodded her little head and looked at him with admiration. Her little mouth was as sweet as honey.
"Hehe." Abraham returned to his seat with satisfaction. He smiled and muttered to himself, "This little girl's words are so nice. If only Boss Amy could speak half as well."
Alden was helped up from the ground. Someone took out a silk handkerchief and wiped off the pig ears and red oil hanging on his face. There was still a clear plate mark on his face. It was green here and there, and there was purple there. He looked quite miserable.
"Oh … I … I won't be drinking with all of you today." Aldan was completely humiliated. His entire body was in pain, and he wanted to find a Healing Magician to heal him as soon as possible.
"Let me send Lord Alden out." An official helped Alden out.
The others knew that Alden couldn't sit still, but they couldn't leave. If they left, wouldn't it be obvious that they were unhappy with Abraham?
Abraham took a mop and cleaned the red oil on the floor so that the other customers wouldn't slip and fall.
Joseph and the others looked at Meg in a different light.
A mysterious tavern owner's daughter dared to call Duke Abraham Grandpa Fatty. Who was this guy?
"If I tell you, you'll be scared shitless." Meg's lips curled. He knew what these people were thinking.
After Alden left, Joseph and the others drank with some restraint. Although they had good wine in hand, they didn't feel like drinking it.
Abraham was drunk. Alone, he drank half a bottle of Maotai and ate six plates of appetizers.
"The duke helped me a lot earlier. This meal is free of charge," Meg said to the butler who was about to pay the bill.
The butler looked at Meg and nodded. "Okay, I'll let the duke know."
Meg smiled as he watched the four big men come in and carry Abraham out.
This was the benefit of a rich and powerful man going out. Even if he was drunk, there would be people to carry him back.
After Abraham left, the half-drunk Joseph and the others also paid the bill and left.
At 9: 30, Meg sent the last drunk customer out of the restaurant. He flipped the sign hanging on the door and announced the end of business for the day.
"Mr. Mak, can we still go in and have a drink?" An old man and a young man standing at the door asked Meg with a smile.
