Chapter 337: Pretender (2/2)

”Nice to meet you.” Karl hurried a reply and then murmured to Wang Tong. ”Boss, I find it hard to see a connection between you and rich people. ”

”I will take that as a compliment.” Wang Tong said.

”Sister Jin!” Zhou Sisi called out to Zhang Jin with a smile. During their brief interaction at the hospital, Zhou Sisi had already been captured by Zhang Jin's wits and kindness.

”Long time no see, Sisi. You look so pretty!”

”Save the courtesy for later, let's go have a feast today. I will buy!” Hu Yangxuan suddenly announced. The presence of beautiful girls could always tease out his generosity.

”NO! I will buy, and you will pay! We talked about this.” Karl retorted as everyone laughed.

Eager to impress the charming guest, Hu Yangxuan wanted to take everyone to a fancy restaurant. However, Wang Tong had chosen to go to the DREAM cafe. Although it had just been recently renovated, it was no more than a mom and pop venue after all.

The sudden drop in sales and the disappearance of his lucky charm after the renovation had distressed the owner of the cafe, so when he saw Wang Tong and his friends, the owner's face bloomed like a flower.

”Welcome, WELCOME! Wang Tong, it's been a while. We have missed you. Are those you friends, please come in!”

”Where is your receptionist? Are there still spots at the booth close to the TV? we are here to watch the fight.”

”Yes, of course, there would always be seats available for you and your friends.”

All the while, the owner's eyes were fixated on Zhang Jin, as he found her face surprisingly familiar. As if noticed the owner's stare, Zhang Jin looked to the owner and smiled. Her smile reminded the cafe owner of her identity, and the sheer gravity of the fact sent a tremor down to his knees. The cafe owner took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. However, he could not hide his shaky fingers.

A few minutes later, it was the owner who had delivered the drinks to the group on a silver platter. ”This first round would be on the house. Let's toast for Wang Tong's coming victory at the METAL tournament.” The owner shouted out to everyone in the cafe.

Unfamiliar faces turned to Wang Tong as they suddenly realized that they were in the same room with the champion of the fleet combat tournament.

”Hey, what about a second round too?” Karl shouted out.

Wang Tong smiled and then said, ”This is Karl, my bro.”

The owner had immediately recognized the name, ”The Art of Karl, ah-ha! Of course, your second round would be on me as well!”

The crowd in the cafe cheered for both Wang Tong and Karl with a great measure of enthusiasm.

”I didn't know you are so popular here.” Zhang Jin jested.

”Just so-so.” Wang Tong replied. Although he would rather enjoy a low key setting, he appreciated everyone's support. It made him feel good about himself.

The owner was a shrewd businessman. The clamor inside the cafe had quickly attracted more customers, and some even sent messages to their friends, inviting them to come over to spend time with Wang Tong and Karl.

Amidst the cheers and shouts, Charcoal slipped into the terminal number five, while Mr. Wannabe rode on its square head.

Charcoal turned on the terminal and connected Mr. Wannabe to the PA system.

Excitement contorted Mr. Wannabe's face. Finally, after centuries of imprisonment, he would enjoy the thrill of a battle.

Two golden lights shone in Charcoal's eyes as he announced, ”Establishing a connection, ten percent...twenty...fifty... a hundred. Connection complete.”

Everyone who was already waiting for the fight watched as Einherjar Wannabe stepped into the arena.
