  Once Mado opened his mouth, Sui Xiong immediately understood why his friends said that he had a foul mouth.

  As his friends, they had already been more courteous towards him. According to Sui Xiong, this was more than just having a foul mouth, he was like a thug in the streets in the comedy “Hail the Judge”!

  Mado spewed about two to three hundred words of profanities with no repetition profusely. Other than that, once he had finished his tirade, he took a breath and continued even before the man could say a word. It was admirable, really, just how much he could scold in anger in one shot. Furthermore, the words he used were dirty and despicable profanities that related to one’s body and kin…… The man’s face was pale, and his breathing became rapid. Eventually, he sat down shakily and could have even fainted if not for the assistance of those around him.

  Upon witnessing this spectacle, Sui Xiong suddenly remembered a comedic film he had watched online where Zhu Ge Liang had scolded Wang Liang. It was from The Romance of Three Kingdoms, and it featured all the scenes of verbal fights in one video. In the scene, Zhu Ge Liang had many comical expressions on and used several tactics to scold Wang Liang, who was cut off each time he tried to retaliate. Even if Wang Liang managed to squeeze in some retorts, Zhu Ge Liang would follow with even harsher words, and eventually, Wang Liang was literally scolded to death in the scene.

  If Mado Kong was on Earth, even without magic and without his knowledge from his world, with his mouth alone, he could become famous and maybe even really scold someone to death as well……

  As his mind wandered, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.

  Mado, on the other hand, was far from a joyful mood. The man he had scolded was not an ordinary man but one with power and status. They already had previous tensions in the past, which was the reason for him coming to disturb Mado’s speech. If it were just a verbal disagreement, he could let it go. However, as the man had fainted, his bodyguards naturally came to his rescue. As they sent the man back home, some rushed up to the stage with the intention of grabbing Mado. They did not mean to hurt him immediately but intended to keep him prisoner, at least until the physician had assessed the man’s condition.

  As per the laws of Grey Tower City, as long as this middle-aged man had no major injuries, the matter could pass if Mado paid a small fee. However, if his condition became serious or even led to death, Mado would be in trouble.

  Of course, one always had a reason to do things and had to be fair in situations like these. Yet reason also had limits, and there were two ways to look at the situation. One way would be that Mado was not at fault as the man himself had a weak body. One could also say that the verbal assault was similar to a physical assault and thus Mado was to blame. For the former, Mado would not have to pay, and he would most likely just be locked up for a few months, which was not a big deal for a young and steady man. After all, this matter concerned human life, and so this was considered a light punishment already. However, if it were the latter, he faced the possibility of the death penalty.

  Mado’s friends understood this as well, and they quickly realized that if the man died, the situation would be grave. Thus, they immediately tried to flee the situation as well to save their own skins.

  As long as one could escape, be it pretending to have to hide due to an injury or disappearing temporarily, it would be a viable solution to consider. Even if the man really died, they would not be able to persecute Mado if he was gravely “injured” as well. As for him leaving for further “research” for about eight to ten years, the matter may change or cease. Of course, it was not ideal in any world for a murderer to escape.

  This world’s laws were not much better than the Three Kingdom’s era. Even if one committed the serious crime of murder, if they could escape and never come back, they would not be pursued. In the past, Gerald and his peers had killed a viscount, and other than a verbal command for him to surrender, nothing much had been done.

  If things continued down this path, Mado’s life could really be ruined, and he may have to start living a fugitive’s life forever. Sui Xiong, witnessing this, could not help but intervene, and some of his godly power landed on the bodyguards for them to revive the man. Thus, the man who had originally fainted due to shock and was able to stop breathing suddenly, then he coughed violently and woke up.

  “Master! Master is awake!”

  “How do you feel?”

  His bodyguards and helpers rushed up and queried. The middle-aged man opened his eyes and glanced blearily at the crowd before shaking his head and sighing.

  “Mado Kong, you foul-mouthed snake, I hope you die soon!” Looking at his bodyguards surrounding Mado and his friends, he cursed weakly at them and then waved his heads.

  “Let’s not worry about them anymore, let’s go! I don’t feel good; I want to return home to rest.”

  The bodyguards naturally followed his orders and carried the man away. Seeing as the conflict had ended, the crowd dispersed, cutting short Mado’s speech in an unpleasant way.

  Mado was despondent to his friends’ nagging. He refused their invitations to stay out and went home alone, planning to tidy up his research and continue his analysis.

  However, before he had even taken more than a few steps, he heard a voice from within.

  “Your research is very interesting; would you be interested in furthering it?”

  Mado stopped in his tracks and looked around suspiciously, but he did not see anything that could tangibly emit sound.

  “Who are you?” he asked in a low voice.

  “That’s not important. All you need to know is that I’m interested in what you do. However, currently, your work is too vague, and I think you should focus on how one can eat healthily and how one could adjust their diet according to one’s own unique body properties…… Are you interested in furthering your research down this path?”

  “That would require many volunteers and traveling to different worlds. I would also need large amounts of food and manpower…… I do not have the resources to do so.”

  “Those are not issues; I can provide them. I just want to know if you would be keen.”

  “Of course!” Mado smiled. “That would greatly add value to the information I have now!”

  Sui Xiong nodded and smiled.

  A few days later, Mado, with the help of Sui Xiong, headed for Void City’s greatest restaurant after settling his family matters. He was going to be Miramon’s assistant, where he would help this Legendary Master in matters relating to gourmet food and health research.
