Easton and the Serpent's Coil Chapter 29

The lobby was full of guests, and the waiters were carrying trays from table to table to collect money. The sound of "clang" made shopkeeper Zhu very excited. He got into the kitchen and watched people working.

The cook was sharpening the knife, and shopkeeper Zhu urged: "That's almost it. Stand in the hall later and remember to put all the blood into the vat. Many people are asking for it."

The cook said: "That man was born with a lot of courage. I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with it later. Why don't we beat him half to death first, otherwise it won't be easy to kill him."

"It plays into your heart if you don't kill it well!" Shopkeeper Zhu said shrewdly, "You will have a battle between dragon and tiger later. The diners will be entertained and rewarded."

"What to do with those two people upstairs?" the cook said nonchalantly, "I don't know which brothers they are. If they are a big monster from outside, I will be eaten too."
