Chapter 79 Exorcism Studio
8:30 am.
Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, Arent pulled off the red satin, revealing the light golden door number, with the embossed characters "Holy Flame Exorcism Studio" reflecting the skylight.
Shengyan Studio officially opens today!
There is no tradition of burning firecrackers when opening a business in the United States, but Ellente thought that Xu Yi was from the Xia Kingdom, so he bought firecrackers according to the tradition of the Xia Kingdom.
The opening ceremony was very low-key. No guests were invited, no flower baskets were ordered, and only one firecracker was burned.
"We are an exorcism studio, not a sausage seller on the street, so we don't need to be too high-profile."
These were Xu Yi's exact words, and Ellente agreed.
The anomalies in Crystal Lake, James' sudden death... these things have attracted a lot of attention in the upper class, and even Xu Yi has also "taken advantage of it" and become known to more people.
If there is a commission, someone will naturally come to your door.
"Have you paid the protection fee? Don't you know this is our Anyi Tang's territory?" Ellent never expected that
when the studio opened, the first person who came to the door would not be the customers, but the Chinatown community.
Of course he knew about the clubs in Chinatown, but most of them were characters who couldn't get on the stage. Arent's good mood was a little ruined, and he waved his hand and chased people away like flies.
The other party didn't bother much, left a few harsh words, and left in a hurry.
He thought that the matter would end there, but he didn't expect that a group of people suddenly "visited" a moment later, and they came menacingly, including the person just now.
"I am the master of Anyi Hall, Chen Lin. I heard that you don't take us seriously at all! Don't you know that in Chinatown, I have the final say?" Scarface stared at Allen coldly special.
Arent felt disdainful in his heart that even the mayor of New York would not dare to say such things, but that "outsiders" who came to live in New York would dare to be so arrogant.
He suddenly had a bad taste... Call the police later and ask the other party who has the final say here.
Arent walked toward the telephone.
Recently, he happened to meet a young leader of the New York Police Department. If he called him, the police should be dispatched soon.
Chen Lin had been observing Allente, and when he saw Allente's performance, his heart suddenly sank.
Arent acted too calmly. Not only was there no fear in his eyes, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes. He knew that this kind of person was very difficult to deal with and most likely had some background.
"Hall Master, do you want to show him off?" The newly joined younger brother was anxious to show off in front of his elder brother and glared at Arent.
You want me to seize the opportunity to go to jail, right? Chen Lin gave his younger brother a vague look, waved his hand, and asked someone to take the young boy down.
Although he speaks arrogantly, it does not mean that he is brainless. The reason why he, Chen Lin, is able to thrive in Chinatown is due to his ability to read people's orders.
If you are an ordinary person with no background at all, you can easily catch him with a little scare.
Last time there was a bakery owner, an American, who was very aggressive at first, but when he inserted the butcher's knife into the opponent's fingers, the opponent immediately gave in and obediently paid the protection fee.
Many Americans appear to be fierce, but in fact they are soft-headed, and their legs will become weak at the slightest intimidation.
But it’s not possible to deal with someone with a background like Arent.
If he dared to insert a butcher's knife in front of the other party, the other party's lawyer would dare to call the butcher's knife a murder weapon, and the jury judge would nod vigorously. The final result would be that he would be sent to step on a sewing machine.
"Boss, how dare you look down on our An Yitang and cut off the opponent's hand!" The younger brother ran out and shouted again.
"Who recruited this person into Anyi Hall?" Chen Lin asked angrily.
His head was buzzing, and he was thinking about how to get out of here without losing face?
"Hall Master, it seems to be you." A subordinate replied softly.
What a sin! Chen Lin looked up at the sky, knowing he would never come.
He came here with the intention of hitting three shots if he had dates but no dates. If he succeeded, he could make Anyitang's influence even greater.
After all, this is on the outskirts of Chinatown, and no society has reached out here for the time being.
Now it's a bit difficult to ride a tiger. "Scarred Tiger, what are you doing here?" A strong voice came from behind.
Chen Feihe, who was wearing a Tang suit, strode over and stared at Chen Lin with a frown. Chen Lin had a scar on his face and was nicknamed the "Scarred Tiger" because of his rampant personality.
"Do you know this shop owner?" Chen Lin also stared at Chen Feihe.
Chen Lin's men were gearing up one by one, thinking that it was finally time for them to show off.
Qinghe will never deal with them. Now that there is only one person on the other side, he can just give the other side some color.
Chen Lin was thinking, Brother Feihe, what a coincidence you came! Isn't this a ready-made step?
Arent felt that the two groups were about to fight. Just as he was about to call the police station, Chen Lin suddenly changed his voice.
"Since you know Chen Feihe, I will give you some face and let everyone disperse!"
Everyone in An Yitang left with doubts on their faces, while Chen Feihe was a little depressed.
He also wanted to take advantage of the other party's troubles here, decisively help him, and leave a good impression on Xu Yi. Unexpectedly, this group of people did not follow common sense and left suddenly.
Ever since he saw Xu Yi's information in the newspaper, he had always wanted to have a good relationship with Xu Yi.
He chatted with Xu Changrong from time to time, thinking of influencing Xu Yi through Xu Changrong, but unfortunately Xu Changrong never mentioned these things to Xu Yi.
He had been paying attention to Xu Yi, and soon after the other party bought the coffee shop, someone came to tell him.
Now that the studio is open, he plans to be the first customer and build a favorable impression in front of Xu Yi.
"I wish you a happy opening and a prosperous business!" Chen Feihe cupped his hands to congratulate Allente.
Arent also returned the favor, but his movements were irregular and a bit nondescript.
He looked at the person in front of him doubtfully. It didn't look like he was here to commission an exorcism. People who needed exorcism usually had a sad face.
But after all, he was the first person to come in after the studio opened, and he still planned to entertain him well.
"Would you like a cup of fresh coffee?"
Arent thought that he would have to recruit someone to guard the store. Otherwise, he would be nothing but an exorcist agent who would be sitting here making coffee all the time.
Chen Lin originally planned to leave, but after seeing Chen Feihe, he suddenly became interested and quietly followed him through the door.
Chen Feihe is a well-known old fox. What is he doing here?
Allente glanced at Chen Lin and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything to chase people away. After all, it was the first day of business, so it was auspicious.
"Have you encountered any trouble recently?" Allente sat down opposite Chen Feihe. Out of professionalism, he still asked.
"I've been feeling restless lately, and I often have nightmares at night." Of course Chen Feihe couldn't say that he was in good shape recently and that he was eating well, otherwise how could this conversation continue.
When Chen Lin heard Chen Feihe's words, his heart moved. Wasn't he the one he was talking about? Could it be that Chen Feihe also has the same problem?
He wanted to ask Chen Feihe if he often dreamed of a huge rat, but he couldn't bear to speak.
"Are you looking for an exorcist to exorcise you?" Arent didn't expect that business would actually come to his door, and he immediately cheered up.
"Is Mr. Xu Yi here?" Chen Feihe looked around and found no trace of Xu Yi.
Allente suddenly realized that the other party was coming for Xu Yi.
"The boss is out on business, and there are other exorcists in our studio."
Ellente thought about this little problem. Not to mention Lisa, even Maria can solve it, so there is no need for their boss.
"Oh, that's it!" Chen Feihe sighed, feeling a little disappointed that he didn't see the real owner after having a good impression.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, Arent had to come up with his trump card. He took out a box from the safe.
"Although the boss is not here, he left behind good things." Arent patted the box.
