Jack froze and asked, “Isn’t that a good thing? Why do you look so anxious and worried? Did you offend anyone?”
Tiger nodded and said, “The restaurant next to us experienced really bad business and they started to blame us. They claim that we robbed them of their business, and got some gangsters to mess with us. These gangsters come every day. They will each take up a desk and order a plate of peanuts. They sit there for the whole day and because of this, we can’t carry out our business!”
“What low lives. These people are really bullies!” Jack clenched his fist and got really angry. He could not believe that the restaurateurs next door were so shameless.
He thought about the situation and asked, “So, did the business next door get better?”
“Better my foot. There is another big restaurant on the street. They don’t dare to offend them so they take their anger out on me. His restaurant’s food is really bad so favonovel.com blames me for taking his business. But since I had no business, his shop has not improved from before!”
Tiger got angrier and said helplessly, “Sigh, I really am at a loss. When they first started doing this, we thought of putting up with it. How would we know that they would actually come everyday and do this.”
“What about now?” Jack asked after a moment of silence.
Tiger said, “They are still sitting there. I used to be able to do well at night but all my customers are scared silly. The gangsters asked for a hundred thousand ‘protection fee’ then they would leave us alone. Otherwise, they will keep this up.”
“Okay, where’s your restaurant? Let’s go.” Jack started the car and drove straight for the restaurant. It was not long before they arrived. Jack stopped his car by the curb.
“We’re here!” Tiger got out of the car and pointed at the restaurant. He led Jack into the restaurant.
As Jack approached the door, favonovel.com could hear laughter from inside.
“What do you say, pretty girl? Today I found a hair in the peanuts. We have already eaten a lot of peanuts. What if we get a bad stomach from this?”
One of the men with a buzz cut roared with laughter. He was sitting with one leg up on the stool. He was chewing on a toothpick and laughing cooly.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I’ll get a new plate for you? You don’t need to pay for this one!”
Tiger’s wife was at a loss for words. She could only smile and reply politely.
“F**k!”
That man slammed a pair of chopsticks on the table. “Your logic is so special. I ate your unhygienic food and you offer to get me a new plate? How much is this even? Something that costs ten dollars? You would like to get me a new plate? Do you think I don’t have ten dollars?”
“Then what do you want from me? You guys are occupying more than ten tables, I can offer it to you for free.”
Tiger’s wife was already at a loss. Tiger said favonovel.com needed to step out to find a solution, but favonovel.com had not even returned. She was left alone with two fearful waiters who were huddled in a corner. At this moment, favonovel.com was already scared out of favonovel.com wits.
“What do we want? Ah, since your husband is not here, and since you are quite pretty, why don’t you go over to the toilet and play with me?”
The man with the buzz cut stood up and approached Tiger’s wife, smacking her.
