Chapter Index

    “Bring your owner out. Is this stuff fit for people to eat!”

    “Exactly! What nonsense fusion is this? It tastes worse than crap. Refund! We demand a refund!”

    “Worse than crap! If we don’t get a satisfying explanation today, we’ll smash your shop!”

    Xu Shaochen and Huo Ying had just come downstairs when they saw three young men sitting cross-legged, cursing loudly.

    Several customers frowned while others paid their bills and left directly.

    The waiters and chefs surrounded the three, but none dared to approach.

    “Boss.”

    Seeing Huo Ying come over, the waiters and chefs greeted her and cleared a path.

    “You who said it tastes worse than crap, have you tasted crap before? Why not share the flavor with everyone?”

    Xu Shaochen smiled as he addressed the young man sitting in the middle.

    Just then, Huo Ying gave him a look. This guy was the one often seen wearing a baseball cap, the same person who’d been interacting with Huo Ying.

    Others couldn’t help but burst into laughter hearing Xu Shaochen’s words.

    “Slap!”

    The Baseball Capped Youth slammed the table, pointing at Xu Shaochen and cursing, “Kid, what the hell did you say? Try saying that again if you dare!”

    Although it was an act, his anger towards Xu Shaochen was real.

    After all, Xu Shaochen had just finished with the goddess he’d been fantasizing about.

    And he had personally heard her sweet soprano voice outside the door.

    Already filled with rage, he took the chance to vent.

    “Settle your bill and get out now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

    Xu Shaochen stood out heroically to protect the lady, coldly eyeing the Baseball Capped Youth.

    “Screw you! I really want to see how you’ll be rude. Come, if you dare, show me what you’ve got!”

    The Baseball Capped Youth walked up to Xu Shaochen with a provoking look, disdain in his eyes.

    The other two strong men also stood by his side, glaring at Xu Shaochen with hostility.

    “Bang!”

    Xu Shaochen lifted a foot and kicked.

    “Ah! Splatter—”

    The Baseball Capped Youth spewed blood, flying several meters and crashing into a chair.

    “Big Brother!”

    The two youths were shocked and charged at Xu Shaochen, yelling.

    “Ah!”

    Two more screams followed as the two youths were also sent flying, tumbling to the ground.

    Everyone watched the scene in disbelief.

    “This must be one of those legendary genetically enhanced people!”

    Someone murmured, and everyone’s shock eased considerably.

    So that’s why he was so incredible; he had undergone genetic serum enhancement.

    “Boom!”

    The Baseball Capped Youth tried to get up, but Xu Shaochen stomped him back down, then kicked him several times.

    “Ah! Stop kicking! Ah!”

    The Baseball Capped Youth curled up, screaming as blood trickled from his mouth. He desperately signaled Huo Ying.

    Damn stupid woman, have you gone stupid?

    Hurry up and follow the plan and break up the fight!

    Otherwise, I’m really going to be beaten to death.

    He didn’t realize Huo Ying had long been persuaded by Xu Shaochen, their agreement reached.

    His eyes nearly twitched with exhaustion, and Huo Ying finally reacted from the fright, rushing to hold Xu Shaochen.

    “Xu, stop. If you keep fighting, you’ll kill someone. It’s not worth it for some fatherless punk to warrant a murder charge.”

    The Baseball Capped Youth finally sighed in relief, although he thought Huo Ying’s words deliberately insulted him.

    “Damn it, get out! I warn you, if you dare cause trouble here again, I’ll beat you each time I see you.”

    Xu Shaochen gave him one last kick, angrily defending his beloved woman like a reckless youth.

    The Baseball Capped Youth got up, ignoring the blood on his mouth, clutching his chest as he staggered out of the restaurant.

    Damn it, others act for money.

    I almost lost my life acting.

    Anyway, this should be convincing enough.

    He didn’t realize Xu Shaochen took the chance to beat him up on purpose, knowing the other wouldn’t call the police or cause trouble, so he grabbed the chance to hit hard.

    “Splatter—”

    Watching the Baseball Capped Youth leave, Huo Ying couldn’t help but laugh, captivating everyone with her charm.

    The other customers in the restaurant were left stunned.

    “What are you looking at? She’s my woman. I’ve slept with her. You can look, but you won’t get to sleep with her.”

    Holding Huo Ying, Xu Shaochen’s gaze forced everyone’s eyes away.

    Everyone secretly cursed in envy and resentment, feelings mixed within them.

    Imagining their goddess in Xu Shaochen’s arms broke their hearts.

    “Bro, promise me you’ll be gentle with Boss Huo in bed? Otherwise, I’ll be heartbroken.”

    A man approached Xu Shaochen with a pleading look.

    Clearly, he was a crazy admirer of Huo Ying.

    “…”

    “I’ll try my best,” Xu Shaochen said after a moment.

    Huo Ying’s face turned crimson.

    Elsewhere.

    The Baseball Capped Youth took out some money to pay off the two temp workers.

    “Boss, three hundred isn’t enough.”

    “Yeah, you only mentioned acting, not getting beaten up. It must be five hundred.”

    The two temp workers said to the Baseball Capped Youth.

    “Get lost, take it and go.”

    Sizing up the two’s stature, he figured he couldn’t beat them, so he handed over more money.

    “Thanks, boss.”

    The two promptly left with the money.

    “Damn it, people in Jiangzhou are really ruthless. Not only are their hands rough, but their hearts are also dark.”

    He cursed watching them leave, rubbing his aching chest.

    After cursing, he took out his phone and made a respectful call.

    “Boss, today’s plan is complete. I feel Xu Shaochen trusts Huo Ying since they’ve already done it. Can we proceed to the next step?”

    “No rush. For someone like Xu Shaochen, sleeping doesn’t equate to real trust. Wait a few days. Keep an eye on that hag Huo Ying; beware of her tricks.”

    The voice from the phone was youthful.

    Though dismissive, the Baseball Capped Youth assured, “Don’t worry, boss. With me watching, she won’t have a chance to scheme. Besides, unless she doesn’t want her daughter…”

    “Alright, that’s it. Contact me immediately if there’s new development.”

    With that, the call ended.
