Shane was ready to leave as soon as he stood up. Just as he opened the door of the private room,
Emmanuel quickly grabbed him and said, âWhat are you doing? Iâm just joking. Do you really take it
seriously?â
âOf course Iâm serious!â Shane exclaimed. âYou probably donât know, if I hadnât met you today, I
wouldâve really starved. Since I can earn money by eating wood, why canât I do so? With money, I can
eat other things and even pursueâ¦â He quickly covered his mouth as he almost revealed his true
intentions.
However, Emmanuel already knew his intentions. He had just overheard the conversation outside. He
knew that Shane often came to this restaurant to catch a glimpse of Red.
âAlright. If you want to earn money, you donât have to resort to methods that harm your body. Come
back with me to Yeringham. Iâll introduce you to a job that can make money, Emmanuel said.
âReally?â Shaneâs eyes immediately lit up.
âWhen have I ever lied to you?â Emmanuel retorted.
Only then did Shane chuckle and come back. He was about to sit down when someone forcefully
pushed open the door of the private room.
He turned around. When he saw the scene outside the door, his anger erupted like a volcano
explosion. A burly man with a muscular build was grabbing Red by the neck with one hand and
dragging her to the doorway.
He showed no mercy!
Redâs face turned red. Her eyes became vacant, clearly indicating that she was feeling extremely
uncomfortable.
Behind the man, there were many followers.
The owner of the restaurant and the other people watched this cruel scene unfold before their eyes.
They were too afraid to speak up that no one dared to help Red.
âYou little brat, youâre not showing respect for me, huh? You even dare to defy my words?â
The man, who was grabbing Redâs neck, was well-built with considerable strength. It was evident that
he had some experience in physical training.
âD*mn it! Let go of her!â Shane directly rushed over in anger.
The man immediately pushed Red forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground. Her face turned red as
she coughed desperately.
Shane felt so heartbroken watching her condition. He quickly helped her up with intense anger in his
eyes.
Emmanuel also stood up immediately, positioning himself before Shane, Red, and the group of men.
He asked in a dark face, âWhatâs going on? Why are you guys, a group of men, bullying a girl?â
Philips Caver glanced at Emmanuel for a moment before smugly saying, âThis woman said that
someone here can eat wood. Iâll have her come and invite you all out to perform for us. However, this
woman dares to disrespect me. She refuses to listen to me-thatâs why sheâs causing trouble for
herself!â
As soon as he finished speaking, one of his followers chimed in from behind, âBoss, look, someone
really gnawed that table!â
The crowd outside murmured in astonishment. It seemed that Red hadnât lied after all.
The crowd outside murmured in astonishment. It seemed that Red hadnât lied after all.
Meanwhile, Red deeply regretted her actions. Just now, she panicked when she saw that the table was
gnawed by someone. Hence, she rushed out to tell the landlady. Little did she know that Philips and his
gang, who were dining outside, overheard her, which led to the current situation.
Emmanuel stared at Philips. Without showing any respect for him, he said, âIs it respectable for a man
to bully a vulnerable woman like this? Do you deserve our respect?â
âYou jerk! What did you say? Say it again if you dare!â Philips exploded in anger. He clenched his fists
tightly, making a cracking sound. His aura was quite terrifying!
âBoss, letâs teach him a lesson!â
âThatâs right! Show them what weâre capable of. Otherwise, they wonât know how powerful our boss is!â
âHas the Flightstones Gang ever been scared of anyone in Anchortown? If anyone refuses to show us
respect, weâll crush them!â
