An Understated Dominance Chapter 2216–Seeing Damien Holmes getting up, the other warriors also stood up and began to express their dissatisfaction.

“Master Houle, there are rules in the world.” Just let us wait. But is it too much to let Senior Holmes sit here for so long?!”

“That’s right! No matter who the person is, it’s not worth it. A group of us have been waiting for a long time.”

“Master Houle! That man is too disrespectful. In my opinion, just kick him out!”

“…”

Everyone was talking and angry.

They had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but because of the gods’ faces, they had not had an attack.

It wasn’t until Damien Holmes opened his mouth to protest that they poured out all their dissatisfaction and anger.

“Master Houle, it’s not that I don’t give you face; it’s that that person is too aggressive!” Damien continued to vent his dissatisfaction: “It’s already past the agreed time. That person never showed up. It’s obvious that he didn’t show up. The temple takes this kind of arrogant person seriously, so don’t let them go!”

“Senior Holmes, all heroes, I mishandled this incident. To express my apology, I have prepared a gift for everyone.”

Tyson Houle said. Knowing that explanations are useless, he could only order his subordinates to present the prepared greeting gifts in advance.

Everyone could see a variety of rare treasures on display.

The dazzling array of treasures caused everyone’s eyes to shine, instantly extinguishing most of the anger they had just accumulated.

They all came here to collect money. If they sit there for a long time, they can get a treasure worth thousands of gold, which is not a bad thing.

“The gods are indeed generous, as expected.” This treasure is enough for me to spend for three years!”

“Yes, yes. Look at this piece of cockscomb red jadeite.” It is really a rare and top-notch product! There’s money in the market. You can’t even buy it!”

“It’s worth it. Today’s trip is really worth it.”

“…”

Everyone smiled and murmured.

Rumors circulated that the temples possessed wealth comparable to that of any nation. When they saw them today, they were indeed well-deserved.

If they worked for the pantheon of gods in the future, wouldn’t they have to make a lot of money?

“Ahem!”

Seeing that everyone was getting carried away, Damien couldn’t help but cough a few times as a reminder.

Although the baby was very important, at this time, he must take a stand.

He couldn’t even disregard his face for some profit. Just now, he was filled with righteous indignation, but now he is smiling. His face has changed so quickly. Wouldn’t it be a joke if word spread?

Damien’s cough immediately caused everyone to stop smiling and put on a serious expression.

But there was unmistakable greed in those eyes that glanced at the treasure.

“Master Houle, thank you for your kindness, but if we recruit a guy who lacks time management skills into our team, he will be a negative influence.”

Although Damien’s expression softened, his tone remained serious.

We will keep Senior Holmes’s reminder in mind. Please wait for one more incense. If the person has not arrived after one more incense, let’s talk directly about business. How about it?” Tyson Houle smiled.

“Okay, for the sake of Master Houle, let’s wait for another stick of incense!” Damien made the final decision.

After giving away so many treasures, it didn’t hurt to sell them to save face.

While everyone was waiting quietly, a lazy voice suddenly floated in from outside the door.

“Singing over wine, how much life is like, like morning dew, there are so many hardships in the past; how can we relieve our worries?”

As the voice sounded, a man in tattered clothes with messy hair, like a beggar, staggered in.

The man was unkempt and smelly. He was holding a jar of wine in his hand and staggered as he walked, as if he might fall down at any moment.

“Where did the drunkard come from? Get out of here!”

The stench on the drunken man’s body was very pungent, causing everyone to frown.

Especially the man in white, who had a mysophobia, immediately shouted angrily and looked particularly disgusted.

Hearing the sound of drinking, the drunk man was stunned for a moment, then staggered up to the man in white, picked up the wine jar, and took another sip.

Then, a mouth full of yellow teeth opened.

“Hiccup~~~!”

A long wine burp spurted out towards the man in white.

In an instant, a stench, mixed with the smell of alcohol and vomit, rushed over him like a mountain.

Unexpectedly, the man in white took a sip. His face turned green for a moment, and he almost died on the spot.

He felt his stomach churn, his throat spasm, and he started retching as a mysophobic person.

“Hahaha… interesting, really interesting…”

Seeing this scene, the drunk man couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“F*ck! Go to h-e-l-l!”

The man in white was furious and punched the drunk man in the face.

He did not hold back at all with this punch and directly used all his strength. The punch was extremely fierce, and the innate energy contained on the surface of the fist made the air roar.

“Wait!”

Tyson Houle was about to stop him, but it was too late.

The white man’s fist hit the drunk man’s face firmly.

“Bang!”

There was an explosion.

The drunken man who was beaten did not move at all, but the man in white who took action was blown away several meters away by an invisible force and then hit the wall heavily.

For a while, he was vomiting blood and wailing.

The whole place fell silent for a moment.
