"You're right. We're leaving now." Althon smiled as he watched the punks leave the hallway. "Our plan worked. Those punks went to the harbor." "What an asshole!" Brody washed his face in the sink, drying his face with a towel. "You're sneaky! You must have kept some of the punks' stuff at the harbor to make them believe your story." "You're right." Althon washed his face. "The punks said that Sonic and most of Black Wolf's army are out of town. That means the punks won't bother us." "Sonic and his army are out of town?" Brody pondered. "They'll attack other groups to expand their territory." The rain stopped an hour later. Althon opened the restaurant. A few customers immediately entered the restaurant, ordering some food. The restaurant became more crowded over time. Althon posted the part-time worker vacancy on the information board. Some students and college students signed up. It was like going back in time. "Time goes very fast. I worked part-time during school, and now I'm
Brody deliberately woke up early to get a peek at Ali and the bodyguards. He came out of the room sneakily, stepping carefully. "That bastard is still asleep."Brody descended the stairs as quietly as possible. He saw only the dim light of the restaurant. When he reached the floor, he was surprised when he felt a cold object on his neck. "What do you want to do?" asked Ali who was already standing behind Brody, pressing hard on the silver object around the man's neck. "Tell me or I'll beat you up."Brody gulped repeatedly, surprised that four men were standing behind him. He laughed to dispel his nerves. "I just want to know what you're capable of.""Do you know what I'm capable of now?" asked Ali. "Yes, I know. Let me go now. I won't bother you anymore.""We are giving you your first and last warning. Do your job well, and act like you don't see us. Do you understand?"Brody smiled. "I understand.""Go back to your room now." Ali took the silver object away from Brody's neck.Brody
The restaurant gets even more crowded when it's dinner time. The guests were chatting and playing happily. The waiters were busy serving the customers. The rain poured down again, attracting pedestrians to take shelter and try the restaurant's menu that had been discussed for the past few days. Althon and an employee cooked in the kitchen while Brody defeated several challengers. Three days had almost passed, and no challenger had beaten him yet. "I should give an extra prize to the winner of the arm wrestling match. The visitors will be more eager to beat Brody. Brody also fought very hard. He seems to enjoy his job," Althon muttered. At the same time, shopkeepers swarmed the sidewalk. They wore hats, glasses, and umbrellas to disguise their identities. "Damn it! This restaurant is getting more and more crowded, compared to our tranquil restaurant," a restaurant owner snapped."This restaurant has recruited new employees even though it's only been open for three days. They're del
"You must have wanted to harass me! You took the opportunity when I was unconscious." The woman burst into tears. "Gosh, what happened? I just wanted to enjoy my dinner in peace, but I got a cockroach on my plate, and now someone wants to harass me."Althon looked calm even though Brody seemed very angry. He was used to this sort of thing. "I've been in more difficult positions than this," he muttered. "Who would want to harass you, damn woman?" Brody shouted as he pointed at the woman, glaring. "My friend just wanted to check your cell phone. Everyone in this restaurant saw what happened."The woman cried even harder, throwing herself deliberately to the floor. "Somebody help me. I feel so dizzy right now.""Did you intend to harass this woman?" asked a customer, "if you did, you'll have to answer for your actions in jail.""Gosh, I seem to have walked into the wrong restaurant! I'm such a fool!" shouted a restaurant leader as he helped the woman up. "I shouldn't have come to this r
Everyone was shocked when they saw the video, especially the woman and the shopkeepers. Althon replayed the video, turning up the volume while Brody smiled widely and laughed out loud. "You son of a bitch! That video shows that you deliberately put that cockroach carcass in your food, damn woman! You want to cause trouble in the restaurant!" Brody snapped. "I didn't do it," the woman argued as she looked down, clutching her skirt. "I didn't intend to do anything bad or cause trouble in this restaurant.""Don't lie! You deliberately put that cockroach in your food during the power outage so nobody would know about your evil deeds! I'm sure someone else helped you! Tell me who that person is!"The restaurant owners began to fidget, looking at each other. They were sure of destroying this restaurant, but they were upset and scared because of the video. When they were about to leave the restaurant, they were already in the middle of a crowd. The customers started whispering, looking sa
The restaurant owners were shocked, looking at each other. "Don't talk nonsense, damn woman! I don't know you at all! You're such an asshole! I've been defending you all along, but you're just slandering me!" one restaurant owner snapped, pointing at Sarah. The other restaurant owners started to break through the crowd, but Brody quickly pressed the button to close the door. "You're not going to run, asshole men!" Brody laughed, turning to Sarah. "You need to point the finger at those asshole restaurant owners right now, crazy woman! If you don't, my friends and I will call your boss and report you to jail."Sarah rolled her eyes, glaring at the restaurant owners. She certainly didn't want her career ruined just because of this. If she was destroyed, she wasn't ruined alone."It's them! They disguised themselves so that no one would know their identity! They're the ones who've been defending me and cornering you!" Sarah pointed at the six men in turn. "Give me a way out now!""What
Brody closed the door as the staff left the restaurant. He hurried over to Althon, sitting down in a chair. "I'm still pissed off with that damn woman and those restaurant owners. It would help if you threw them in jail so they don't make any more trouble. This restaurant will become more popular.""Reporting to the police isn't free even though the rules state there's no charge when we report. We are just poor people who are starting a business. These restaurant owners are still at a higher level than us now." Althon showed Brody the restaurant's revenue today. Brody was surprised. "Today's revenue is the highest since the restaurant opened. We can buy equipment and expand the restaurant quickly with this money."Brody watched the restaurant for a moment. "The police only work when a case goes viral, or the people who get into trouble are those with power and money. They only consider poor people as bullies.""Yeah, I've had a few run-ins with the police for things I didn't do." Alt
Ronny followed the gang to the headquarters. He stood in the back row, watching a man on a pile of wooden boxes. "I recognize that trash. He's one of Sonic's confidants. I could've beaten that jerk if I wasn't hurt."Ronny surveyed the surroundings. "These scum only numbered less than sixty people. Sonic brought a lot of troops to the meeting. I hope they don't find my friends. Hell, I should hope the attackers don't finish them off.""Everyone shut up!" snapped a man at the front of the crowd. "I gathered you to give you important information. I got a report that someone attacked the members while stealing their money and cell phones. According to one of the victims, the person was tall, moved very fast, and was good at fighting. Even so, he seems to have a wound on the left shoulder."Ronny looked down. "They turned out not to be as stupid as I thought. I'm lucky that I followed those punks. What would they have done to me?""The news about the Boss and most of our troops outside th
