“Brother!”Suddenly, a girl with a ponytail ran out of the kitchen while still holding onto some vegetables.She had seen the young man getting abused by their customers.So, she hurriedly set aside what she was doing before running over to save her brother. “Why did you hit my brother?”The girl lunged over with tear-filled red eyes.“Why did we hit him? Hmph! Look at this! He dirtied my clothes! What is wrong with your restaurant? How can you hire such a clueless waiter like him? He’s just asking for a beating at this point! Damn it! Tell me, what are you going to do now? If you don’t cough up some money as compensation, prepare to see your restaurant all smashed up!” The woman said coldly.“Don’t smash the shop! Please! I beg of you!”The youth burst into tears as he groveled at their feet.“Brother, don’t do that!”The girl said anxiously.The girl looked like she was just in her early twenties.She was a hardworking and sensible girl.That made it all the easier to
The young man took off his peaked cap before placing it aside. After that, he flicked his burning cigarette butt out of the restaurant.As soon as he took off his cap, everyone inside the restaurant could clearly see that despite his skinny physique, he gave people an intimidating aura, and also how handsome and delicate his face was. When the woman heard this, she started acting more anxiously.“You must be blind! This is a genuine product! No way in hell will a person like you be able to distinguish between a genuine and a fake product! Why don’t you admit that you guys aren't going to compensate me! Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson today lest you forget how powerful I am!” The woman glanced at Bertold as she motioned for him to go ahead.Bertold and his men started advancing on the young man. “Alright, that’s enough. I know that all of you are great people. However, it’s really a knock-off! Why would I possibly lie to you?”As he spoke, the young man grabbed the
Bertold gulped in fear.The woman was starting to feel fearful as well.She was afraid that this young man would also break her arm just like how he did to Bertold’s.She followed behind the young man as they walked into the backyard.They finally arrived in a shack in their backyard. Thud!The young man shut the heavy door behind them loudly.The both of them shivered in fright.But they had no other choice. After all, Bertold could not allow his arm to remain the way that it was.“You better fix my arm for me. Or I’ll not let you go. Why don’t you go around and ask…”Bertold wasn’t going to lose his pride that easily. So, he continued speaking with a hostile look in his eyes.“Okay, that’s enough. I already told you that I know how powerful both of you are. So, let’s talk things over!”The young man interrupted him before he could finish speaking.“Heh heh. As long as you fix my man’s arm, we won’t be asking for any compensation!”The woman said.Slap!The young man
Bertold grabbed hold of the woman’s arm and got her to shut up.After that, he thought to himself:‘Am I going to leave like this? Hahaha! He should ask around and see what kind of a person I am. I may leave today but come tomorrow, I’ll be here with more of my men! When night falls, I will raze this place to the ground. After that, I will capture the young brat and I will cut the tendons in his arms and legs! Like hell I’m gonna let this slide so easily! Being impulsive will bring us nowhere. I can’t fight the kid head-on, not right now at least. After all, I don’t have enough men with me!”“Bertold, wait a minute!”At this time, the young man walked out of the room where they were tortured.He waved his hand at Bertold.“Ahh? Big brother, what’s wrong?” Bertold said.“Come back here. I forgot something!” The young man said.Bertold walked back to him.“I forgot something just now. I don’t think I’ll be relieved if I let you just leave like that, would I?” “Big brother, wha
The girl had a different look in her eyes when she looked at Gerald’s back as he left.“Ivy, what are you looking at?”Maria could not help but ask when she noticed how distracted her daughter was.“Ahhh? I was not looking at anything!” Ivy pouted as she responded while shaking her head.Maria was an expert in love and relationship matters when she was young. So, how could she possibly not know what her daughter was thinking about?That’s right. Gerald was a dashing young man after all.He had lots of incredible skills, and he treated everyone kindly too.Indeed, not many girls would be able to resist a man like him.Therefore, it was inevitable that her daughter would start having feelings for him.However, Maria sighed as she said, “Ivy, a word of advice. You will never be able to be together with Gerald.”Ivy was initially planning to deny and refute her mother’s words.But when she saw her mother’s resolute attitude, she immediately replied, “Why? Gerald does not have
The both of them entered the antique shop.There was a tall girl with a head of long hair standing at the counter.“Take a look at this. How much is this jade bracelet worth?” The girl asked.Gerald raised his brows slightly when he heard the girl’s voice.No way she’s here, right?Furthermore, the girl’s back was facing the both of them.Therefore, Gerald remained silent. Instead, he simply sat down at the waiting area next to the wall. The shopkeeper was an overweight man in his fifties. He had a small beard and also a wretched look permanently etched onto his face.He held the jade bracelet in his hand as he looked at it for a while.After that, he shook his head and said, “The jade is actually pretty good. However, this type of jade is very common and its circulation rate on the market is very low. If you really are looking to sell it, then I can offer you five hundred dollars for it.” The boss replied.“What? Only five hundred dollars? But…but I looked it up on the inte
“…What? What’s wrong with Felicity? What happened?” asked Gerald hurriedly as soon as he saw Naomi’s expression. Tears flowing down her cheeks again, Naomi cupped her mouth with a hand as she slowly began explaining what had taken place about half a year ago sometime after Gerald’s disappearance. While the Crawfords had easily prevented the first flow of news—about Gerald’s disappearance—from getting out to the public, eventually, people still managed to catch on. From there on out, rumor after rumor began popping up and spreading around like wildfire. Some of the rumors claimed that Gerald was kidnapped. Bolder rumors even stated that he had been murdered! With the rumors spreading around so quickly, it was only a matter of time before Felicity and a few other acquaintances of Gerald caught wind of it. Felicity and Naomi themselves had particularly been more anxious compared to the others. Because of that, Felicity wasted no time declaring that she would get to the bottom o
However, upon seeing how sad and lonely Naomi looked, he instantly felt sorry for her. As a result, he was able to momentarily suppress his resentment. “…Well… What about you, Naomi? What kind of illness is your mother suffering from?” asked Gerald. “Well, after returning to Mayberry under Chairman Lyle’s protection, it didn’t take long for me to realize that my mom had contracted some sort of weird illness. Even after meeting countless doctors, nobody’s been able to cure her. As you can imagine, however, hiring doctors isn’t cheap… As a result, I ended up having to sell all of my family’s properties! It was about a month ago when all my resources finally ran dry. Having no other options, I came to the Salford Province to seek help from an uncle. During my time here, I found out that a famous doctor lives nearby! He goes by Master Jenkinson! However, since I barely have enough money to survive now, I can’t really meet up with him...” explained Naomi in an embarrassed tone. Sighin
