Chapter 955 - Do You Want To Pay Or Get Crushed?
“Little Bro, so what is it with us?” Kiel asked with a smile.
“It must be nice to have your face massaged by a chair. Do you want our boss to massage you some more?”
“I guess that’s what he wants. Maybe let me do it this time.”
The Burning Legion was laughing in unison as they looked at Chown with an unfriendly look.
To the Burning Legion, Mamy Restaurant was like the holy land. This was where the holy roujiamos were made. Making trouble here was akin to insulting the Burning Legion. They only refrained from crushing the person immediately because they didn’t want to contaminate the holy land.
“Boss Mag said we need to be reasonable.” Sargeras raised his hand to signal the Burning Legion to remain calm. He took a bite of the roujiamo in his hand, and chewed slowly before swallowing. Then, he stood up with his body surrounded by flames, and asked Chown, “Is it that difficult to stand in a queue?”
Chown looked at that folding chair, which reminded him of that horrible blow and his painful cheek, and quickly shook his head.
Sargeras took a step forward, and continued to ask, “Is it that difficult to bring along a chair?”
“Not… Not difficult.” Chown took two steps subconsciously and shook his head.
“Then, are we putting you down by asking you to dine al-fresco style?” Sargeras’s smile was getting brighter and kinder.
Chown shuddered and felt close to bursting into tears. He took another two steps backwards, shook his head, and said, “Nope! No! It’s my honor!”
Sargeras nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right. That’s a good kid. It’s really easy to get ‘taken care of by a chair’ if you continue to make trouble. We must learn to respect.”
“Yup.”
Although Chown felt like crying inside, he still smiled and nodded.
Sargeras extinguished the flames on his body instantly, and gently said, “Bill, please.” He placed the gold coins in Anna’s hand lightly before leaving with the Burning Legion.
“Have a ‘good’ meal,” Kiel reminded Chown.
“Phew…” Chown only heaved a sigh of relief after Sargeras and the gang went far away. That was so scary. Those guys were like bandits. Didn’t they say Chaos City was the safest? Why were there such scary demons here!
“Dear customer, we have a seat over there now. May I ask what you would like to have?” Yabemiya asked Chown smilingly. There weren’t many huge customers normally. Big guys like forest trolls usually went to forest trolls’ restaurants so they could get the space to accommodate them and adequate amounts of food.
Chown looked and made sure that Sargeras and the gang had already gone far before he went to his table gingerly. He decided to sit on the ground after he saw that tiny little chair. He was still about three meters tall despite sitting down. He lowered his head and saw a tiny table. The menu was even smaller than a claw of his.
“What is nice here?” Chown asked Yabemiya straight away as he couldn’t bother with the menu. After all he went through today, he deserved a good meal.
“Our restaurant provides many types of dishes which are very popular with our customers. For example, the eggplant with garlic sauce, which was just introduced today. They all have rave reviews,” Yabemiya said with a smile.
“Then I shall have five helpings of eggplant with garlic sauce.” Chown just ordered without much thought. He loved fish, and wondered if they were nicely done in this restaurant.
“A helping of eggplant with garlic sauce is 400 copper coins and a bowl of rice is 50. Are you sure that you want five helpings?” Yabemiya confirmed the order. A dragon of his size ordering five helpings of eggplant with garlic sauce wasn’t surprising.
“Anything goes.” Chown shrugged. After all, he didn’t intend to pay. He would find a reason and simply walk away. This wasn’t his first dine and dash, as he used to do that with his father. Besides, money was his true love; he wouldn’t give it away.
“Sure, please give us a moment.” Yabemiya nodded. She went in after taking the orders of the few customers who just took their seats.
Shortly after, Chown’s eggplant with garlic sauce was served.
“This fish smells so good!”
Chown’s eyes lit up instantly. He lowered his head and took a deep breath. He was “intoxicated”. He didn’t know someone was able to make such a delicious fish dish.
Even though he was huge, Chown picked up the chopsticks with three of his claws adroitly, and quickly put a piece of eggplant into his mouth.
“Aaah? It’s not fish?”
Chown was taken aback. The food in his mouth was obviously not fish. Its texture was totally different from fish. There wasn’t any hint of fishiness.
“But! It’s so delicious!!!”
Although it wasn’t fish, the sweet, tangy, and spicy taste of the eggplant that melted in his mouth still made Chown’s eyes lit up. He had never had such delicious food. It was better than any fish.
Chown couldn’t find any words to describe the taste, because he hadn’t eaten anything that was comparable to it. But, when he ate something nice in the future, he would have a term to describe it—as nice as eggplant with garlic sauce.
A mouthful of eggplant with garlic sauce with a mouthful of rice, and soon he had finished a helping of eggplant with garlic sauce. Then, he finished the second helping and the third… until he had eaten all five helpings.
The customers sharing a table with him already began to salivate. They couldn’t help but also order a helping of eggplant with garlic sauce.
“It’s so satisfying. I didn’t expect Chaos City to have such delicious food. Father did say the truth.” Chown put down his bowl satedly. The most important step of a dine and dash was definitely the “dash”.
“Five helpings of eggplant with garlic sauce and 10 bowls of rice. The total is 25 gold coins.”
However, a sweet voice spoke beside him as soon as Chown stood up.
Chown looked around him before lowering his gaze on the tiny Anna next to his feet. He blinked and poked his big head right in front of Anna. He grinned, showing his sharp teeth, and sinisterly said, “Pay? Ha! I haven’t asked you why there is no fish in this dish despite the picture having fish in it. Who gave you the guts to cheat a giant dragon? I am in a good mood today, so I’m going to let this go. Otherwise, I would eat you up, and then thrash the restaurant.”
“You will pay for your meal or we will crush you!” An adorable voice spoke right at this moment. Amy walked to Anna and tilted her head up to look at Chown. She seriously asked Chown, “Stupid dragon, do you want to pay or get crushed?”
