Chapter 112 Taking a Step Back and Gaining a Wider Perspective
Luna couldn't contain her excitement as she picked up her fork and knife. "It's been many years since I've eaten these home-cooked dishes. The Chinese restaurants abroad that serve them just aren't authentic enough. I've never had the chance to eat them before."
"Eat as much as you want then," Daniel chuckled.
"You studied abroad?" a voice called out.
Suddenly, a burly man holding a beer bottle approached them.
This man was muscular and had a tattoo of a tiger head on his arm. He appeared to be in his early thirties and was extremely tall. He stumbled as he walked, clearly a bit intoxicated.
"Haha, Gary's making a move!"
"There's no way anyone can resist those two beautiful ladies. They're so attractive, and they even look like twins. I'm captivated!"
"Just let Gary make the first move."
A few men whispered to each other at another table while watching the scene.
"I don't know you, and I refuse to answer your question," Luna said coldly, giving the man a disdainful glance.
"You don't know me? Well, let's get acquainted then!" The man grabbed a chair and sat down.
"Huh, this food looks delicious. I haven't eaten enough, I should have some more!" The man looked at the table, disregarding the utensils and using his hands to pick up a Reuben sandwich, which he began chewing.
"You're quite unsanitary!" Luna frowned, instantly losing her appetite.
The man grinned, "I never use any utensils when I eat."
His gaze was greedy as he licked his lips while scanning Lisa and Luna's faces.
"Hmm, you’re both beautiful. From a distance, you look like twins, but up close, there are some differences. Sisters are quite lovely too!"
"Are you two beautiful ladies free after this? How about I take you to a bar for drinks? Afterward, we can just go straight to a room to sleep. What do you think?"
Both Lisa and Luna's expressions turned icy cold when they heard that.
"Young man, we’re just ordinary people. Can you please not harass my daughters?" Daniel looked at the crowd behind the man, fear evident in his eyes. He quickly put on a smile.
"They’re your daughters?" The man glanced at Daniel, extremely surprised. "You’re so ugly, old man, but you managed to have such beautiful daughters. Are you sure they’re your biological children?"
"Oh... young man, how can you speak like that? You should respect the elderly and care for the young!" Daniel's face grew somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't dare speak up in anger.
Essentially, Daniel was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
"Respect the elderly and care for the young? I don't respect the elderly and care for the young. What can you do about that?" The man sneered coldly and swung his beer bottle.
Splash!
Half a bottle of beer spilled all over Daniel.
"Dad!"
"Daniel!"
Lisa and Luna both exclaimed.
Lisa pulled out a tissue and wiped the stains off Daniel's body.
"It's okay." Daniel waved his hand and smiled at the big guy.
"You spilled your beer too, young man. You shouldn't trouble us!" he said.
"You're really weak, old man!" the big guy sneered.
"It looks like Gary will have a chance tonight!"
"Two beautiful women, how delightful!"
"Their father is so weak. We can probably get them with a little force!"
The other big guys at another table looked at them with envy.
"Let's go, Daniel. I don’t want to deal with these scumbags!" Luna stood up and tried to leave.
"Hey! Don't go yet, beautiful! I didn’t say you could go!" The big guy grinned, reached out and grabbed Luna's wrist.
"If you want to leave, we'll leave together later!" he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he tried to reach out with his other hand to grab Lisa's wrist, but Lisa dodged him.
"Let go of my daughter!" Daniel said anxiously. "We just came here for a meal. We didn't provoke you. Why are you making things difficult for us?"
"Let go? Alright, I’ll let go as long as your two daughters accompany me tonight." The big guy smirked. "Of course, besides me, there's also my friends!"
The big guy signaled to the people at the other table.
"Damn, Gary is a true friend. We’ll get our share too!"
"Although it'll be leftovers, it's not bad!"
The eyes of the big guys at the other table lit up, becoming excited.
"Young man, how can I agree to such a thing... Can you make a different request?" Daniel looked troubled.
"No, this is my only request. Besides, your daughter is so beautiful. Who knows how many wealthy men she’s slept with? I'll just sleep with her for one night, what's wrong with that?" the big guy said seriously, rolling his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of sound exploded.
Crash! Beer bottles shattered and broken glass fell to the ground.
"Hiss!"
The big guy sucked in a cold breath, feeling a headache and dizziness. He touched his body and felt blood flowing on his palm.
The big guy looked at Noah and saw him holding half of a beer bottle. He suddenly had an angry expression on his face.
"How dare you hit me, kid!"
"Noah, you worthless person, what are you doing?"
Daniel also became furious and stared fiercely at Noah. "Why did you hit someone?! You might be looking for death yourself, but don’t drag us down!"
"I’m not like you. I won’t just stand by and watch someone pick on my girls." Noah looked at Daniel coldly.
Daniel immediately felt guilty.
He had been weak.
"Hmph, you don't understand anything!"
Daniel snorted, "You coward, are you blind? Can't you see the group of people sitting there? If you hit someone, do you think his friends will let you off?"
As Daniel had predicted, the seven or eight big men from the other table all slammed their hands on the table and stood up after they saw Gary getting hit, staring menacingly at Noah.
"Do you have a death wish, kid?"
"You’re tired of living, huh?"
"You dare to hit my friend?" Every face showed extreme malice.
"You want me to step back? Haha, I'm sorry, but I've reached my limit. There's nowhere to retreat." Noah looked at Daniel.
"Noah, you coward! How dare you argue with your father-in-law!"
Daniel was so angry that he blew his mustache and pointed at Noah, "You dare to defy me?"
Noah handed the car keys to Lisa.
"Take them outside, Lisa, I'll handle this."
"Okay." Lisa nodded. She had witnessed Noah's skills and knew he was extraordinary, but still reminded him with concern, "Be careful, Noah."
"I'll be fine," Noah smiled. This group of people was not worth his attention.
"Dad, Sis, let's go!"
Lisa led the two of them outside the restaurant.
"Stop them!"
"Just stop it! Deal with this kid first. He hit me, I want to kill him!" The big man stared at Noah with resentment.
They left the restaurant and got in the car.
"Thar Noah is really stubborn. He's courting death!"
Daniel closed the car door, blew his mustache and stared angrily. "They outnumber us, how can we confront them head-on? We can only go soft. Maybe they’ll let us off!
"Noah, that coward. He smashed a beer bottle on someone's head. If he's not courting death, then what is he doing? Just you watch, when Noah, that coward, comes out later, he'll definitely be seriously injured. Let me make it clear, I won't pay for his medical expenses for those injuries. If he wants to, he'll have to pay for them himself!"
