Chapter 157

"You... you are ganging up to bully me!" The middle-aged woman suddenly shrieked. "Where is your manager? Where is your manager? Call your manager out. I want to complain about you, I want to complain about you."

The middle-aged woman pointed at the sales clerk and roared. She believed that the reason she couldn't deal with that "yellow-skinned monkey" here was entirely because of this sales clerk. As long as she drove this sales clerk away, the others wouldn't dare to stop her, and she could drive away these people who had disturbed her interest without any scruples.

Gradually, many people gathered around. Watching such things didn't distinguish between countries, especially since those who came here were either rich or noble and usually looked for fun. Now that such good fun had come to their door, they were naturally happy to watch. Anyway, watching wasn't against the law.

"Isn't that Mrs. Dalaran? Why is she so angry?" Someone in the crowd recognized the middle-aged woman and immediately muttered in a low voice.

"It really is Mrs. Dalaran. It looks like that Asian is going to be unlucky. Mrs. Dalaran prides herself on being noble and doesn't like low-class people appearing in her field of vision. And now, there's actually a disabled person and a yellow-skinned person. No wonder it provoked Mrs. Dalaran's anger," another person who recognized Mrs. Dalaran whispered in agreement.

"But Mrs. Dalaran has hit a wall. This is Macy's, not the villa where she lives. In her villa, she can throw her weight around, but here, it's not a place for her to run wild."

The person who said Mrs. Dalaran was running wild seemed to have a grudge against her and deliberately spoke loudly. "You probably don't know, but Mrs. Dalaran has a British butler and a Filipino maid at home. She claims that she has the blood of noble British aristocrats flowing through her veins."

The surrounding people suddenly burst into laughter. "British blood? Is the Empire on which the sun never sets that glorious? The most powerful country in the world now is our America." Some even insulted her, "What, has the British Empire fallen to the point of looking at our America's face for everything? If they are aristocrats, wouldn't we be emperors?"

"Haha..."

The onlookers all burst into laughter. Although the United States and Britain were cousins and had a thousand threads of connection, Americans had never forgotten the history of being colonized by Britain, even though the two countries could be considered cousins.

Mrs. Dalaran looked at the people around her who were laughing at her, and her face immediately turned red. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into, but there was no hole here, so she blamed everything on Ye Nan.

"It's all the fault of this yellow-skinned monkey. If it weren't for this yellow-skinned monkey, how could I have suffered such humiliation?"

"Excuse me, please make way." A young man in a crisp suit squeezed out of the crowd. "I am the person in charge of the Chanel section. If this lady has any requirements, can we go to the side to talk? You are affecting our Chanel's reputation like this."

Chanel was a brand, a star among luxury goods, but unlike stars, luxury goods like Chanel couldn't have any negative scandals, especially those linked to racial discrimination. And now, this matter was very likely to involve Chanel, thereby smearing Chanel's name.

"You came just in time. Hurry up and drive this yellow-skinned monkey out. Chanel is our noble white brand; how can it be enjoyed by a lowly yellow-skinned monkey?" Mrs. Dalaran shrieked. The surrounding gazes made her almost crazy. She had to drive this yellow-skinned monkey and the disabled person out. As for the two students, she ignored them directly.

Once Mrs. Dalaran's words came out, many people immediately frowned. Racial discrimination was a common occurrence in the United States, but no one would say it out loud because it meant trampling on the concept of equality for all.

Even the young man's brow furrowed. "Ma'am, do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course I know what I'm saying, and I will be responsible for what I say. So now, please drive them away immediately," Mrs. Dalaran shrieked, completely ignoring the young man's well-intentioned reminder, still insisting on making racist remarks.

"He is a yellow-skinned monkey, a lowly yellow-skinned monkey. They cannot wear our noble white brand. Have you forgotten the Chinese Exclusion Act? Have you forgotten the gangs in Chinatown?"

"The Chinese Exclusion Act again." Ye Nan's brow furrowed. He didn't expect this person called Mrs. Dalaran to be a staunch anti-Chinese activist.

Mrs. Dalaran's remarks caused confusion among many people present. Racial discrimination in the United States was a forbidden zone that no one dared to touch, because once taken to court, it meant spending money.

"Because her husband is Mr. Nathan of the KKK." Someone whispered, and the surrounding people suddenly realized.

The KKK was the most famous racial discrimination organization in American history, as well as the largest military and terrorist organization. They practiced white supremacy, excluded all Black people, Chinese people, or other ethnic groups, and sought to turn them all into slaves for white people.

The KKK was formed in 1866 by veterans of the Southern Confederate Army who were defeated in the Civil War. Initially, their purpose was to restore the power of the Democratic Party in the American South and oppose the policies enforced by the federal army in the South to improve the treatment of former Black slaves.

Later, after being banned and suppressed, the organization began to move into the shadows, and the organization's goal of white supremacy was sought after by many and received support from many black-hearted businessmen.

"It's actually the KKK." Ye Nan's face immediately darkened when he heard this term. Initially, he didn't know much about this organization, after all, he didn't have much contact with them.

However, in his contact with the Qing Gang and the Hongmen, he also learned of the existence of this organization. Because Black people actively participated in politics and learned to protect themselves legally, the KKK turned its target to the Chinese and had quite a few conflicts with the Hongmen and the Qing Gang.

Because the Chinese followed the principle of avoiding trouble, they didn't dare to resist or call the police when the KKK extorted them. Therefore, the KKK followed the principle of picking the softest persimmons and targeted the Chinese. Coupled with some Chinese scum acting as accomplices, the KKK's oppression of the Chinese became increasingly serious.

"But KKK, since you've provoked me, I'll make you look good." Ye Nan thought to himself. Originally, he didn't have any conflict with the KKK, and he was busy, so he didn't pay attention to them. But since the KKK had come to him, they were looking for death.

"Their quality as Chinese is so poor, don't you know how to drive them away?" Mrs. Dalaran said arrogantly. "Don't your French luxury brands often refuse Chinese people from entering? What, you don't refuse them in America?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, we are Chanel, facing global customers. We will not drive away any customer." The young man said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Also, let me remind this lady that no luxury brand in France will refuse any customer; only some shops would do so."

A small number of shops in France that specialize in selling luxury goods will refuse Chinese people from entering, because some Chinese people have low quality. Many Chinese people like to ignore "No Smoking" signs and make a mess of public places. Of course, this is also related to the rampant anti-Chinese forces in France.

For example, many French designers have threatened that they don't like Chinese people because Chinese people buy their luxury goods like they are buying cabbage, and they feel their luxury goods have been devalued. For another example, the French Zadig & Voltaire hotel threatened to declare that their new hotel would not receive Chinese tourists, on the grounds that Chinese people are too noisy.

However, for a luxury brand like Chanel that is based globally, refusing a customer without a legitimate reason would lead to heated discussions in the global media. At that time, a series of negative influences would be added to them. Therefore, things like racial discrimination have nothing to do with them; at least on the surface, they will not discriminate against any customer.

"I don't care. Anyway, you must drive this Chinese person and the disabled person away today. Otherwise, I will unite the entire upper-class society of New York and drive you Chanel out of New York." Mrs. Dalaran shouted loudly.

Mrs. Dalaran's words caused the young man's face to change. As a long-standing force in the United States, the KKK indeed had the ability to drive Chanel out of New York. For the sake of one customer, confronting the KKK seemed to be somewhat against his interests. But the company's consistent purpose made him hesitate. He didn't know how to choose. He was now a bit regretful; why did he stand out?

"How can you say such things?" Mary couldn't help it, her white face turning red.

"Why can't I? Chinese people are the lowest ethnic group in the world." Dalaran said calmly, but her heart was full of pride.

If it were discriminating against a disabled person, even within the KKK, they would be dissatisfied with her because that disabled person was also white. But if it were discriminating against Chinese people and having a conflict with them, the KKK would definitely support her with all their might. So she cleverly bypassed Angela and turned everyone's attention to the Chinese.

Mary opened her mouth, intending to refute, but Ye Nan stopped her.

"Why?" Mary looked at Ye Nan in confusion, wanting to ask him why he stopped her. But when she met Ye Nan's angry face, she closed her mouth.

"What did you just say?" Ye Nan's voice was calm, but anyone could hear the irrepressible anger within it. "If you have the ability, say it again."

"You Chinese are the lowest, most lowly ethnic group in the world. You are destined to be ruled by us white people, destined to be our slaves."

Slap!
