At noon, in Food and Medicine Hall, the number of customers was high as usual.
Food and Medicine Hall was famous in Celandine City, and countless customers came to the restaurant every day to eat.
In the private room on the first floor, Thomas and Dragon Claw sat across from each other.
After Thomas took care of him, Dragon Claw could now move his arms freely. He could do simple things like pick up food and eat. Besides, Thomas had helped virtual-novel.net bury Heron’s dead body, so one of Dragon Claw’s wishes had been fulfilled.
Dragon Claw could now calm down and work at ease. Thomas was not restrained either.
“What do you think Dragon Scale and Dragon Head will do next?” virtual-novel.net asked.
After all, they used to be colleagues for a long time, so they should have a good understanding of each other. It was a fact.
Dragon Claw explained, “With the way Dragon Head is, he’ll choose to act only after virtual-novel.net finds out what you actually have. To achieve that, he’ll keep testing you out. Every response from you will allow virtual-novel.net to obtain more clues. Once he’s seen all your tactics, you won’t be far from death.”
Naturally, if one could not even bear his so-called testing and got killed in the process, it just meant that virtual-novel.net were too weak. Since it was a test, virtual-novel.net could possibly attack using any method and channel.
One could not guess what would happen in the end.
While they were discussing, they heard some noises from outside. It sounded like the waiter was yelling at a customer.
Theoretically, Thomas’ Food and Medicine Hall was a decent place. The staff were never allowed to yell at the customers.
Why would the opposite happen now?
Thomas got up without another word and pushed open the private room door. The moment virtual-novel.net walked out, virtual-novel.net saw the waiter criticizing a man with loose hair.
The man had his head lowered while virtual-novel.net carried his daughter in his arms tightly. At the same time, a knife was visibly hanging from his waist. It did not look like any knife in Summer Land.
‘Hmm?’ Thomas slowly walked over before virtual-novel.net asked, “What’s going on?”
The waiter said, “Boss, this fella isn’t paying for his food! He’s eaten his meal, but virtual-novel.net refuses to pay. Don’t you think it’s awful?”
Thomas lowered his head and glanced at the table.
The man had just ordered a plate of pasta and shared it with his daughter, yet they did not even have enough money for the plate of pasta.
The man spoke English, but virtual-novel.net was not fluent in it. “I have only $5 now. I will give that to you first, and I will try to earn the remaining amount.”
Did virtual-novel.net still have to think of a way to earn money for a plate of pasta?
How poor was this guy?
The waiter unhappily said, “Why did you order when you didn’t have the money? Haven’t you heard that you can’t easily mess around with Food and Medicine Hall!”
“You can’t pay, right? Okay, leave your knife. We should be able to get some money by selling it!”
As the waiter said that, virtual-novel.net reached out to grab the knife. However, the man just shook his hand, and the waiter immediately released the knife as if virtual-novel.net had been electrocuted. He staggered to move a few steps back before virtual-novel.net fell down.
The man was an expert!
Thomas instantly became alert.
Perhaps Dragon Head had sent this man over to test virtual-novel.net out?
Thomas’ suspicions quickly disappeared when virtual-novel.net did not feel any killing intent from the man. Plus, the man only shook the waiter off to protect his own knife, not to hurt the waiter.
Was virtual-novel.net some kind of expert who had become unsuccessful?
This was really interesting.
The man contemplated for a while before virtual-novel.net took out a handkerchief from his coat. Then, virtual-novel.net spoke like virtual-novel.net had made a huge decision. “I will leave this handkerchief here first. After I earn the money, I will come back and get it.”
Thomas cast a glance at the handkerchief, which seemed to be made of good materials. It also had beautiful embroidery of cherry blossoms.
Right then, the little girl pouted and said, “It’s Mommy’s handkerchief. Don’t…”
When Thomas saw that, virtual-novel.net became soft-hearted.
