Chapter 639 - Bad Luck Be Gone (2/2)

To hell with that!

Suzuki Ikuo was on the verge of letting the curses spew from his mouth. He had been doing well in the yakuza, only for everything to collapse in a single night. Now, he had no choice but to set aside his pride and run this road-side barbecued meat stall. It went without saying that this was hard work, and there was no easy money of any sort in this venture. He had to toil overnight while people slept, so what kind of potential was there to this?

He looked around furtively and then said, “The entire country is hunting for you now. Do you have the money to pay up?”

“Credit cards are all the rage right now, and you can even pay with your phone. Who still uses cash these days?” Xiao Luo replied, rolling his eyes.

“But can you pay with your phone here in Ri nation?”

“My mobile payment only works in Hua Nation.”

“Why you… You’re trying to get a free meal off of me!” Suzuki Ikuo snarled.

“How astute of you! Not bad, my man… Good job!” Xiao Luo said, giving Suzuki Ikuo a thumbs up with his eyes squinted in a smile.

That idiot!

Suzuki Ikuo almost flew into a rage, but he quelled his urge to flip the tables. He smacked the table lightly and said, “I gave my all in grilling that piece of meat for more than half an hour, only for you to rip me off like this! Why you… How dare you! Watch me call the cops on you!”

The corners of his mouth were twitching.

Xiao Luo ignored his words, feasting on the grilled meat and vegetables in front of him.

Utterly humiliated, Suzuki Ikuo smacked the table again and said, “Did you hear me? I said I am going to call the cops on you! You…”

“Give me another dozen oysters.” Xiao Luo cut him short with a wave of his hand.

“Sure thing, just a moment!”

Suzuki Ikuo immediately reverted to his role as the owner of a barbecued meat stall and rose from his seat to grill the oysters for Xiao Luo.

The mute man helped him.

The deaf man stayed beside Xiao Luo, fanning him to keep him comfortable.

Not long after, Suzuki Ikuo placed a plate of delicious oysters in front of Xiao Luo.

“Why don’t you have some?” Xiao Luo said to Suzuki Ikuo.

Suzuki Ikuo shook his head, “No, I shouldn’t.”

“I said, have some.” Xiao Luo’s face turned serious.

Suzuki Ikuo shuddered. He did not dare to refuse and immediately picked up an oyster to eat.

“Good?” Xiao Luo asked with a smile.

“Yes, very good,” Suzuki Ikuo replied with a stiff nod.

Xiao Luo patted him on his shoulder, wiping the grease off his hand. “There we go. This is how it should be. You should be thanking me for getting you into this grilled meat business. It has great potential. As long as you keep at it, becoming Ri Nation’s wealthiest man won’t be just a dream.”

“I…”

Suzuki Ikuo’s expression soured like he had eaten a mouthful of something unsavory.
