“N-n-no! This wasn’t supposed to happen!”
The manager wiped off a cold sweat in an instant. Jada had exined that Severin was pretty good at
fighting, and if their restaurant’s thugs were not up to the task, he could always call One- Eye to help
them. After all, One-Eye was the strongest of them all, and their restaurant had always gotten along
well with him. His subordinates were all very skilled fighters, and he was able to hold out his own too. In
fact, he was so good that he could face several dozen ordinary thugs without ever being at a
disadvantage during a battle.
Although Jada had given the manager a heads-up on Severin’s strength, he did not think that Severin
would be able to knock down their thugs and felt that Jada was making a mountain out of a molehill. It
was therefore a huge surprise to see that all their thugs had ended up falling to the ground in a heap.
They all let out agonized cries and were unable to stand up, which seemed to indicate that they were
seriously injured.
“Can we go now?” Severin sneered. Since the restaurant’s people had spared no effort in targeting
him, he had decided that he would not pay for the meal regardless of what happened.
“Hehe, what do you think?” The manager chuckled, took out a cell phone, and made a call.
Within a minute of him hanging up, about seventy or eighty people showed up on the street outside,
each of whom had a machete in hand. At a nce, they looked so much more imposing than the dozen
or so people that came earlier, and there had a distinct murderous aura about him. The one-eyed man
leading them was the most imposing of the lot with his robust figure and bulging muscles.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys came pretty quickly, huh!”
Severin looked at the people in front of him and said coldly.
“Yo, Steve! Where are the folks who wanted to leave without paying?” One-Eye asked brashly as he
walked in.
“It’s them right here!”, Steve, the manager, said immediately.
Diane saw the sheer number of people and spotted an insignia on One-Eye’s waist. Her expression
paled immediately and she stepped forward to whisper to Severin, “This isn’t looking good, Severin.
Rumor has it that One-Eye is very so good at fighting that he can deal with dozens of people by himself
all at once. More importantly, he’s a skilled warrior from the Cedar Gang. Hisbat ability is probably
on the same level as de, the man from Draco Hall whom you met at the wedding earlier today.”
Severin only nodded with a smile when he heard that. He turned to One-Eye and said, “Do you expect
us to pay up when they’re trying to charge us ten times the original price? We’re not some pushovers
that you can just do whatever you want to!”
“Haha, that’s beyond my control!” One-Eyeughed. “I’m on very good terms with the owner here, so I
can’t let you leave unless I’ve been told to do so!”
By then, Steve could tell that Judith, Diane, and the others were all very worried. That was when he
knew that it was time to proceed to the next phase of the n.
He immediately stood up and then said with a half-smile, “Miss Diane, to be honest, you’re an
acquaintance of our boss. Our boss wishes to speak with you, and he says that today’s meal will be on
the house if you’re willing to go upstairs and chat with him for ten minutes. How does that
sound?”
“On the house?” Diane frowned. Even if the restaurant did not try and scam thern, they would still have
to pay sixteen thousand for the meal. That was no small sum, so why would the owner. suddenly
decide that their meal would be on the house as long as they had a chat with her?
“No! You can’t go up there, honey!” Severin said right away. “It’s obvious that they’re up to no good,
and it’s not like we need them to waive our bill. I’ll just fight my way through it, and nobody can stop
me!”
Judith was also a little worried and persuaded Diane, “Severin is right, you know. If he’s your friend and
knows that you’re here, why must he insist that you go up and meet him instead of himing down to
meet you?”
At that moment, Steve added, “You can discuss among yourself, Miss Diane. Our boss just wants to
talk to you about something, and you don’t have to worry so much. He’s already prepared some wine
and food, so all you need to do is go up there, have a chat with him, and maybe drink a ss or two of
wine. If you won’t, I’m afraid none of you can leave here in one piece!”

“Is that so? Show me what you’ve got then!” Severin took a step forward, clenched his fist, and red
at the guys in front of him.
