Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Apology

Lin Tian’s grip met with surprising resistance; despite his unimposing stature, the man was unexpectedly strong. He stood unwavering, letting Futian struggle in vain. Realizing he couldn’t free himself and being a martial artist himself, Futian was secretly shocked, regretting not being able to bring his knife onto the plane.

As the two men faced off, a person who looked like the supervisor ran over with two air security officers. The translator, who had just been hit, pointed at Lin Tian and loudly said, "It’s him, he tried to assault Mr. Futian!"

Damn it, this second-class ghost is such a piece of work, to curry favor with his boss even after being hit. Where is his integrity? Lin Tian finally saw with his own eyes what an incredibly shameless person looked like!

Fortunately, the security officers didn’t listen to his nonsense. They separated Lin Tian and the other man, and one of them took Futian’s phone, immediately pressing the power button to turn it off. Lin Tian also let go of Futian’s hand and stepped back.

"Why aren’t you arresting him? He intended to harm Mr. Futian," the translator shouted, but nobody paid him any attention.

Just then, Xiao Manxue and her group walked over, and the flight attendant quietly explained the situation to the supervisor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is all a misunderstanding; there’s no need to make a big deal out of it," Bai Yuanhao intervened trying to play the peacemaker, smilingly saying, "I know Mr. Futian Yizhi. If he was using his mobile phone, he must have had his reasons. Now that it’s been turned off, perhaps we could all just take a step back."

His words sounded impartial, but in reality, they favored Futian. Not only had Futian cursed at people, but he also physically assaulted someone. If Lin Tian hadn’t intervened, the flight attendant’s pretty face would have been marked by a slap.

The flight attendant glanced at Bai Yuanhao, anger flickering in her eyes, but she couldn’t lash out. As a young girl without money, power, or influence, what could she do to them? Even if Futian were fined, the meager sum meant nothing to them. Who would seek justice for the insults she had endured?

"Futian Yizhi must apologize to the flight attendant!" Lin Tian suddenly said, his tone unwaveringly firm.

This resolute tone drew everyone’s attention—some admired, some were indifferent, and others were disdainful. The flight attendant looked at Lin Tian with gratitude; no one had ever taken the humiliation and grievances of the service staff seriously.

The kind of hardships and humiliations that air hostesses regularly endured were simply part of the job; some passengers believed their tickets gave them the right to command the flight attendants around and didn’t hesitate to berate them over trivial matters.

The translator hesitated for a moment, then quietly translated Lin Tian’s demand to Futian Yizhi.

"Damn it!" Futian Yizhi cursed loudly, followed by a rapid-fire string of words.

Although Lin Tian didn’t understand, he knew Futian was cursing. As expected, Secretary Xu said to him, "He’s cursing at you for meddling, what right do you have to demand an apology from him!"

"Sister, this man is too despicable!" Xiao Manxuan said, holding her sister’s hand.

Xiao Manxue gestured to her sister to remain calm and then stepped forward, raising her voice, "I saw everything clearly just now, Futian Yizhi was the one who started abusing people, so he should apologize."

"Miss is mighty," Lin Tian praised, earning himself a roll of the eyes.

"Lin Tian, do you know who Mr. Futian is?" Bai Yuze also stepped forward and laughed, "He’s an emissary from the Rizhao Group, here to explore our market. Treating an international guest this way will make us appear rude to foreigners."

The Rizhao Group? Isn’t that one of Japan’s business tycoons? No wonder they’re so arrogant. However, Lin Tian was not intimidated.

He sneered and said, "An international guest? He can be considered an international guest only if he shows respect to us. If he dares to disrespect our dignity, even if the Heavenly King arrives, he must still apologize!"

Lin Tian looked around and said in a stern voice, "The air hostesses serve passengers with all their heart, yet they endure the rude remarks and cold treatment of impolite passengers, and even face physical assaults and scalding liquid. Sometimes, they are even harassed by men. But still, they maintain their courtesy and smiles. They must swallow their pain and grievances. Is that fair? Is that damn fair?"

"Today, Futian Yizhi must apologize—for that bit of dignity!" Lin Tian said, his eyes fixed on the interpreter, urging him to relay the message.

Everyone fell silent, tears swirling in the stewardess’s eyes, but her professional training told her she couldn’t cry. The Bai Family also stopped talking, as to speak further would be to show obvious bias.

"Ah, he just loves to make girls cry," Xiao Manxue sighed, recalling the injustices she faced while managing the Xiao Family’s business.

"Mr. Futian says..." The interpreter glanced at Lin Tian timidly, hesitated for a moment but still honestly relayed, "He says the stewardess doesn’t have the right to demand an apology from him."

Right, always about the right! Fucking Japanese always acting superior. Lin Tian sneered, "Tell him if he doesn’t apologize, I’ll make sure this gets into the news. When that happens, Rizhao Group’s reputation will take a hit, and he’ll have to deal with the consequences!"

The interpreter, once again, nervously translated Lin Tian’s words verbatim, and Futian Yizhi’s eyes immediately narrowed, emitting a dangerous glow. Lin Tian wasn’t afraid of stares; can a stare kill a person? Obviously not. If you have the guts, come at me for real, see how I’ll crush you.

But Futian Yizhi still succumbed, unable to bear the responsibility of tarnishing Rizhao Group’s reputation.

"I’m sorry!" Futian Yizhi was forthright, bowing 90 degrees to the stewardess and apologizing in halting Chinese.

In first class, when had she ever seen such a high and mighty figure bow and apologize? She couldn’t help but look toward Lin Tian as if seeking approval.

Look at your supervisor, why look at me? Lin Tian was bemused but gave her a confirming look nonetheless.

She said to Futian Yizhi, "I accept your apology."

It was only after the stewardess’s endorsement that Futian Yizhi finally straightened up. That’s how the Japanese are: behind their seemingly meticulous etiquette, it’s hard to see what kind of thoughts are hidden.

After the apology, the supervisor politely asked the passengers to return to their seats, and took the stewardess and the security officer away. Lin Tian had thought the incident was over, and whether Futian Yizhi held a grudge against him didn’t matter.

As everyone went back to resting, Futian Yizhi and the translator stood up. Lin Tian thought they were going to clean up their spilled clothes, but instead, they walked towards him.

"Lin Tian, what do they want?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"I don’t know, but either way, don’t provoke me," Lin Tian said leisurely, watching the two approach.

Futian Yizhi came close and said in a low voice, "Pig, I’ll remember you!"

He spoke in English, broken though it may have been, and Lin Tian understood. After saying that, Futian laughed coldly, turning around; this time he really was going to the restroom.

"I’ll also use the restroom," Lin Tian said to the three women with a sly smile, since Futian liked remembering so much, he’d engrave a deeper impression.

"As if we’d believe you. This is an airplane, be careful how you act," Xiao Manxue truly knew him and immediately guessed Lin Tian’s intentions.

Finding her remark amusing, Lin Tian shook his head, reassuring her to relax. He quietly followed Futian and the interpreter to the restroom and, just as the interpreter was opening the door for Futian, Lin Tian appeared behind them, pushing both into the restroom and "bang," he closed the door tight!
