With that said, Gerald then returned to his seat as the old couple and their daughter began setting up their stall again.
The second Gerald sat down, Raine immediately said in sincere admiration, “You were so awesome earlier, senior!”
Raine, for one, felt that not many could beat up so many people alone and in such a short amount of time, no less.
Laughing in response, Gerald simply replied in a humble tone, “That was nothing. Those hooligans were just too weak!”
Of course, Raine knew virtual-novel.net was just being modest. After all, those gangsters were definitely far from weak. Even so, they were unable to even lift a finger against Gerald! Then again, it wasn’t all that surprising. After all, even Yash—a Taekwondo expert—had been unable to take on Gerald!
Regardless, it was about ten minutes later when the old woman served a massive plate of food before Gerald and Raine…
Smiling as virtual-novel.net looked at the duo, the old woman then said, “Order up! Freshly roasted, just for the two of you! Again, if this isn’t enough, just give me a call and I’ll roast up another plate for you!”
“We’ll keep that in mind! Thank you, boss!” replied both Gerald and Raine at the same time.
“Oh please, we should be the ones thanking you! After all, we could’ve gotten into serious trouble had you not stepped in earlier!” said the old woman as virtual-novel.net waved virtual-novel.net hand slightly before leaving Gerald and Raine to give them room to enjoy their food…
As time went on, the duo realized that more and more people seemed to come over to have their meals in the old couples’ stall. It seemed that the incident truly was a positive turning point in the couples’ business luck.
Either way, it was around eleven that night when Gerald and Raine finally finished their meals.
With that, Gerald walked up to the old woman before asking, “How much was all that, boss?”
“…Huh? I told you, it’s on the house! After all, you helped us so much tonight! There’s simply no way I could take your money!” replied the old woman.
Even so, there was no way virtual-novel.net was ever going to be able to persuade Gerald against it. After all, Gerald knew for a fact that the family of three didn’t have it easy. What more, virtual-novel.net and Raine had eaten quite a bit tonight, and the ingredient costs probably weren’t cheap. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net was going to pay virtual-novel.net no matter what!
“Boss, I know how hard it is for you to make a living, so please accept the money! Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare return here to eat next time!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net fished out several ten-dollar bills from his wallet and gently pushed them into virtual-novel.net hands.
“He’s right, boss! Just accept the money!” added Raine—who was now standing beside Gerald—, understanding Gerald’s intent.
Hearing that, the woman could only sigh in defeat as virtual-novel.net took the money before saying, “…Alright, I’ll take it! Come by anytime and I’ll give both of you discounts!”
Nodding in response, both of them then replied, “But of course we will!”
Smiling happily at their response, the old woman then watched as Gerald and Raine finally left the area…
As virtual-novel.net was about to get back to work, the old woman couldn’t help but notice that virtual-novel.net daughter’s eyes were affixed in the direction of the leaving duo.
Knowing that lovestruck gaze anywhere, the old woman was prompted to say, “…Don’t tell me you have a crush on him, Yusra…”
Her daughter’s name was Yusra Zablocki, and virtual-novel.net was in virtual-novel.net third year of high school.
Whatever the case was, when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net mother say that, the charming Yusra couldn’t help but blush…
