Earth Wolf burst into laughter, "Boss, even after leaving Africa, you’re still as pure as ever, just like Yili’s pure milk!"
"Who says that," Lin Mu laughed heartily, "I’m clearly from the Mengniu brand!"
In a whirlwind feast, Lin Mu and Earth Wolf, those big eaters, always adhered to the old Japanese Three Alls Policy—eat up, drink up, spend up!
Then, patting their round bellies, they contentedly leaned back in their swivel chairs, as if there was no greater enjoyment in life!
"Waiter, check please!" Lin Mu called out to the young waiter with a satisfied expression.
"Sir, you are a 250," the young waiter politely said to Lin Mu, then turned to the chubby Earth Wolf saying, "You are also a 250, together you two 250s make 500, plus drinks that’s 120, with a discount, cutting off the zeros, it totals to 600 bucks..."
Uh, two 250s! Lin Mu and Earth Wolf felt like they were bleeding inside but put on a show of not understanding to protect their precious self-esteem.
"The food here at home is really cheap, in Africa, this meal would cost at least tens of thousands!"
Lin Mu and Earth Wolf forced smiles, inwardly wishing they could skewer that damned waiter on a stick and roast him into human char siu buns with soy sauce!
"Boss, let’s settle the bill!" Earth Wolf reminded,
"Hmm," Lin Mu patted his pocket, then broke into a harmless smile, "Earth Wolf, I forgot my wallet in the car, uh, you cover now, and I’ll pay you back!"
"What did you just say?"
Earth Wolf was shocked, "Damn, why didn’t you say you had no money earlier? I usually never carry a wallet when going out! You know, I’m stingy as hell..."
Lin Mu and Earth Wolf kept bantering, completely oblivious to the changing expressions on the young waiter’s face as it shifted from white to red, then to black, and finally to green,
"Hey, are you two putting on a skit? But your acting is just terrible. Let me tell you, I’ve seen people like you before. You should at least open your eyes and see where you are, trying to eat and drink for free here!"
The young waiter noted Lin Mu’s expensive Lomon suit, "Look at you, all dressed up like a big shot, but it’s just a facade, a poor loser pretending to be high class..."
Hearing the young waiter taunt his boss this way enraged Earth Wolf, and he couldn’t hold back anymore. He stood up with a whoosh,
"You little brat, can’t you speak human language? Isn’t it just 600 bucks? I can earn 6 million in one go in Africa, and if you insult us again, I swear I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
Even though Earth Wolf wouldn’t actually lay a hand on a young girl, as a super mercenary with countless kills, the murderous aura in his eyes was enough to scare someone to death!
The poor young waiter was so frightened she backed away several steps and fell on the ground, crying out in panic,
"Boss lady, there’s someone here... dining and dashing and trying to fight us..."
"Ah Cai, what’s going on?"
Lin Mu looked closely and saw a glamorous woman walking out, probably the boss lady from the sound of it.
This boss lady was in her thirties, aging gracefully. She may not have had the enormous allure of a young girl, but she had a seductive figure and the charming prowess of a mature woman.
"Boss lady, these two want to dine and dash, eating and drinking without paying. When I asked for the money, they even wanted to fight!"
The sharp-tongued young waiter immediately shut Lin Mu and Earth Wolf up. The once alluring boss lady’s eyes flared up when she saw Earth Wolf’s arrogant expression.
Just as Lin Mu was about to explain, the boss lady turned and ran back into the kitchen.
But when she came out of the kitchen again, Lin Mu immediately felt a sense of dread.
The once endlessly charming middle-aged beauty was now wielding a cleaver, transformed into a fierce, indomitable warrior woman!
And behind her, there was an invincible squad of chefs, each burly and robust, holding cleavers, iron spatulas, and tongs. At the end of the squad, several male and female waiters were wielding cooking pots, pans, soup ladles, and chopsticks like cold weapons!
"Damn, no way!" Lin Mu muttered bitterly, "It’s just a few hundred bucks, is it really necessary to escalate things this far?"
Actually, Lin Mu wasn’t really afraid of them; it was just that being a senior white-collar worker at Yunhai Mansion, and the new son-in-law of Su’s Great Enterprise, a Global 500 company, if word got out that he was beaten up for not paying for a meal, it would be a major embarrassment! And it would bring disgrace to President Su as well. Plus, he was currently in a trial period of one month, and if things "blew up," he might be eliminated by Sophie before the month was out!
So Lin Mu adopted a conciliatory posture, "Oh dear Auntie... let me explain..."
The glamorous boss lady was momentarily stunned, what did he call me? Auntie—darn, do I really look that old?
Lin Mu quickly cast a silvery-grey glow from his eyes, using his super sensing ability to peek into the brain hole of the other party, roughly guessing her thoughts. So he swiftly corrected himself,
But then he thought, that’s not right either! "Oh, Sister, we can talk things over, there’s no need to go all out!"
"Hmph, do you think I can’t see you’re with that Fan Jian, tolerating the intolerable, kindness being mistaken for weakness! Today I’m going all out!"
She gave a shout to the group behind her, "Come on, let’s fight them today!"
Damn, what kind of deep grudge is this! Lin Mu immediately realized they were mistaken for dining and dashing and associated with some villain named Fan Jian!
Well, that guy called Fan Jian really does live up to his name! His stupidity ended up making me take the blame for him!
"Boss, let’s stop talking, you want to fight, right? I can take them out alone!"
"Ahem, you dead fatty, I told you to stop being so arrogant..."
The fierce lady boss was furious and charged at Earth Wolf with her cleaver.
Lin Mu hurriedly stepped in to block, even though the lady boss held a knife, if Earth Wolf really started a fight, it was likely the one holding the knife would end up disadvantaged.
An ordinary weak girl with no way to bind a chicken, how could she compete against a super special forces soldier from the North African Grassland?
The glamorous boss lady and Earth Wolf were both worked up, a bloody battle seemed inevitable, Lin Mu was so anxious that he leaped up to intercept, standing right in front of the glamorous boss lady, and the cleaver in her hand landed squarely on Lin Mu’s shoulder.
