Chapter 864: Chapter 864
"Are you an art student specializing in painting?"
The waitress didn’t understand art, but given that Lin Baici could create such an exquisite portrait with just sauce, he would likely do even better with paint.
The waitress wanted a painting, even if it meant paying for it, not considering the future fame of this man and the appreciation of his works. His skill alone was worth buying a piece for.
Lin Baici was about to refuse, but suddenly he heard rapid footsteps and turned to see a group of people entering the White Dew Restaurant.
There were twelve of them, all men. The three at the forefront were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and those behind wore shorts and brightly colored, simply cut Hawaiian shirts, flamboyantly patterned like a bunch of toads.
In their hands seemed to be weapons like daggers, wrapped in newspapers, about one foot long.
After they entered, the noisy atmosphere in the barbecue restaurant suddenly quieted, as if someone had hit the pause button.
The man in the suit scanned the room and spotted Lin Baici and Han Suying sitting in a corner. The most update n0vels are published on novel·fire·net
The man in the suit cursed, charging at Lin Baici while tearing the newspaper off his weapon, revealing a watermelon knife over a foot long.
A group of men immediately followed their boss’s charge.
The diners were experienced; instead of scrambling to flee, they first dove under the tables, since the intruders might hack at them as they passed by.
The waitress, unsure what to do, wanted to stop these people but her legs were shaking.
Han Suying stood up, thinking that Lin Baici, an outsider, couldn’t possibly have offended the local gangs, so they must be after her. She decided to intervene.
Lin Baici stood up and held back the Lady Boss.
Lin Baici leaped past the waitress, pulling her arm and dragging her back.
When the man in the suit was still three meters away, he suddenly lunged forward, reaching Lin Baici and swinging his knife.
Lin Baici grabbed the man’s wrist, then grabbed his hair and swung him around like a human sandbag, throwing him at the men who were following their boss.
The men dodged, two of them trying to catch him.
After throwing the man, Lin Baici charged forward, grabbing a nearby dining table and using it like a flyswatter to smash into the men in front of him.
Wood splintered and a man was left bloodied and injured.
A blonde man screamed, chopping at Lin Baici’s head.
Lin Baici charged forward, facing the incoming watermelon knife, and chopped the blond man’s wrist with the edge of his hand.
The blonde’s wrist bone broke, and he screamed in pain, dropping the watermelon knife.
Lin Baici caught the watermelon knife with his left hand in a scoop motion and chopped it down on the blonde’s arm.
Blood splattered, and an arm fell to the ground.
"You’re a young man, why get involved with gangs?"
Lin Baici kicked the blonde in the stomach.
Technically, the right move would have been to use the blonde as a shield, but Lin Baici had quickly assessed that these were just ordinary God Ruins Aboriginals, not monsters. Normal people were easy for him to handle.
Lin Baici moved like a tiger among sheep, every swing of his watermelon knife severing an arm, displaying fierce bravery.
Screams of agony soon filled the White Dew Barbecue Restaurant.
Han Suying and the waitress both shouted worriedly, but they froze when they finished.
It seemed that those who needed to be careful were the gang members!
"Your boyfriend can really fight!"
The waitress exclaimed.
The Lady Boss, hearing the word "boyfriend," blushed slightly but didn’t deny it.
In three minutes, Lin Baici had downed twelve men without breaking a sweat.
"Is that all? Not enough for me to chop!"
Lin Baici stood in the middle of the restaurant, not even warmed up yet.
The floor was covered with injured bodies and more than ten severed arms soaked in blood, resembling swimming fish.
Lin Baici walked over to the leading man in the suit and crouched beside him.
Lin Baici lifted the man’s chin with his watermelon knife.
The man in the suit hadn’t finished cursing when Lin Baici smacked him across the cheek with the back of the knife.
The man’s head jerked, spitting out two broken teeth.
Lin Baici emphasized.
Seeing Lin Baici’s cold gaze, the man felt a chill and finally confessed, "The boss from the Huanghai Hotel."
Lin Baici nodded, looking at the men, "Shall I call the police, or do you need an ambulance?"
"No... no need, we’ll leave on our own."
The man in the suit knew he had met his match and, though in pain, didn’t dare delay. If the police came, it would only complicate matters.
The men in Hawaiian shirts left as quickly as they had arrived, apparently planning to rush to a gang-affiliated hospital to reattach their arms.
The restaurant’s atmosphere was ruined; continuing the meal there was out of the question.
Lin Baici had thought the owner might call the police, which would have led to complications, but that didn’t happen.
"That gang isn’t easy to mess with, and if the owner had called the police, he could forget about running his business here afterward!"
The Lady Boss explained.
Lin Baici was concerned.
Han Suying shrugged her shoulders: "Soldiers to block, water to cover!"
Lin Baici nodded and, along with the Lady Boss, hailed a taxi to go to her house, to view that painting.
Han Suying lived at 69 Songtan Cave, in a villa area with buildings that had seen many years.
