Chapter 290: The Noise in the Restaurant
Boom!Boom!thump...
The restaurant owner, dragging his not-so-robust body, dashed towards the kitchen. This was a big order; it could earn him a lot of Pele!
The diners still sitting in the restaurant were all looking at Mu Chong and his group with great surprise. Asking for a hundred servings of food right off the bat was truly astonishing.
However, no one came forward to greet them; they were all busy eating. But the diners' eyes kept glancing at Mu Chong and his group.
"Captain! These guys have been watching us the whole time. Should we teach them a lesson?"
Bartolomeo, feeling increasingly uneasy under the watchful eyes of the diners at the next table, leaned forward and slowly spoke to Mu Chong.
"Hehehe! What? Is there something you're ashamed of, Barto? You won't let people see it?"
Mu Chong chuckled softly at Bartolomeo's thoughts, leaning back in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, without even looking at him.
"Oh dear, a grown man like you're afraid of being seen by others? Why don't you let me examine your illness, Barto!"
Belinda, who was sitting next to me, pretended to take something out of her bag as she spoke.
"Ah?! No, no, no! Hahaha! I can't trouble you! I'm fine! I'm fine!"
Seeing Belinda's actions, Bartolomeo nervously waved his hands, then sat upright in his chair, remaining completely still.
"Pfft! Hahahaha..."
"Hehehehehehe..."
As Mu Chong and his group burst into laughter, the restaurant was no longer gloomy. Even some of the other diners were affected by the cheerful atmosphere, and their voices began to rise as they ate and chatted.
After a while, the restaurant owner and chef came over pushing a large cart of food, and the table in front of Mu Chong and the others was quickly piled high with food.
"Hey! Boss! Where in this town can I buy fresh ingredients? I need a lot!"
Just as the shop owner was about to turn and leave, Elsa, having taken a satisfied sip of her drink, suddenly called out to him and asked softly...
"Eh? Are you planning to buy ingredients?"
The restaurant owner was taken aback at first, then immediately turned around and asked in return, his expression inexplicably excited.
Snapped!
"Huh? What's wrong with your boss? Can't you hear me even when we're this close? We need to buy ingredients! We need to buy a lot of ingredients!"
Bartolomeo slammed his wine glass down on the table, looking menacing.
"Ah! Uh! I heard you! I heard you! Well, to be honest, sirs, this shop has a large quantity of ingredients. If you gentlemen don't mind, this old man is willing to sell them to you!"
The restaurant owner immediately adopted a humble demeanor, clasping his hands together and bowing to Mu Chong and the others.
"Huh? You're selling your ingredients to us! How are you going to serve customers then?"
Hearing the restaurant owner's words, everyone looked puzzled. Aisha put down her drink and asked...
"Alas! To be honest, there are fewer and fewer people in our town these days. I'm sure you gentlemen have already seen this when you came. If this continues, this old man's restaurant will have to close down!"
Upon hearing Aisha's question, the restaurant owner's expression instantly soured, and his tone was filled with helplessness.
The restaurant owner's words made Mu Chong and the others frown slightly. They exchanged glances but remained silent. Mu Chong, however, slowly sat up straight.
"Okay! We'll buy your ingredients! However, I need someone to come to your warehouse and select the items. We won't buy anything that's not fresh or that we don't need!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Good! Good! That's how it should be!"
The restaurant owner beamed with joy at Mu Chong's words, nodding vigorously as if afraid Mu Chong might change his mind.
"Tch! This old man..."
creak!
Just as Slad was about to speak, the restaurant door was pushed open again. Under normal circumstances, this might not have attracted attention, but this time, two teenagers who looked like beggars walked in.
"Hey! Boss! You have a customer!"
"Hahaha! Guests? Oh, right! Boss, you're not letting Bailey's guests eat here anymore!"
With the arrival of the two teenagers, the surrounding diners burst into laughter, and some even threw leftover food at the children while talking.
"Hey! Stop! You bunch of scoundrels! What kind of skill is it to bully a child? If you're so capable, go bully that guy in the west!"
Upon seeing this, the restaurant owner quickly walked to the two teenagers and then shouted loudly to the diners.
"Tsk tsk tsk! They're all dying, what's there to sympathize with! Our current situation is all because of that madman. Don't forget, they came here asking for food to feed that madman!"
"Exactly! Although we dare not go west, if we let that madman continue to cause trouble, we'll all die if we anger him one day!"
boom!
"A bunch of useless trash, stop pretending. What Didac did may have been crazy, but it was all for the sake of freeing us from oppression. And yet you're here complaining about him. You're all scoundrels!"
boom!
"You bastard! Who do you think you are? How dare you spout nonsense at me like that! If you're so capable, go and cause trouble at the palace with that madman! If you go, I'll provide you with plenty of food, I guarantee you won't starve!"
Clang!
Click!
"Shut up! You piece of trash..."
From the moment those two teenagers entered the restaurant, the previously quiet diners turned into a tirade of insults over a few words, with some even smashing bottles in front of them.
"Shut up, all of you! This is my restaurant. If you cause any more trouble, get out!"
Just as the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic, the restaurant owner, who had been standing in front of the two teenagers, finally stopped being a bystander and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hey! You damn cook, you've got a temper now? Fine, I won't eat then! I don't want to eat with a bunch of lunatics like you!"
Whoosh!
As the restaurant owner shouted, three tables of diners left the restaurant, grumbling and cursing.
"I'm so sorry, Uncle Weppler! We've caused you trouble again!"
After the group of irritable diners left, a timid voice sounded from behind the restaurant owner. It was one of the two teenagers who spoke.
The trembling voice immediately drew the attention of everyone still in the restaurant, and they all turned to look at the teenager.
"Hey! Weppler! Make sure they have plenty of food, I'll cover the cost this time..."
"Hmph! Eat your food, you bastard! I don't need to say anything! Sigh! You two go find a seat and wait!"
A voice suddenly broke the silence among the diners, but was interrupted halfway through by the restaurant owner, Weppler. Weppler glanced at the boy, sighed, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
After Weppler left, the remaining diners glanced at the two teenagers one last time, then returned to their seats and began to eat again.
The two teenagers standing in front of the door didn't move at all; they remained standing there obediently, their bodies trembling.
Mu Chong and his group witnessed everything that happened in the restaurant, but none of them uttered a word; they simply ate their food without saying a word.
"The ship... Captain! I..."
