Marcellus calmly pushed open the office door as if nothing had happened. With a cheeky smile, he gestured for Huston to come out. "Let's go, Huston. There's a new Japanese restaurant nearby; it's not bad. Let’s have a taste."
His tone and actions made it seem as if what had just happened was just an illusion. The bodyguards in the room couldn't help but frown.
After they left, looking at the two people lying on the ground, the bodyguards could only sympathize with them silently. They could have provoked anyone, but they had provoked the two most powerful men in Jewel City. Who could they blame... So, never bully others. Maybe you would get into trouble one day.
...
It was almost nine o'clock when Huston came out of the Red Cauldron. He had called the hospital, but Evelyn was still asleep.
Hearing the general content of his call, Marcellus knew that Huston was free, so it was more suitable for them to go to the tavern this time. In addition, he had been crazy about Japanese food recently, so he dragged Huston over.
There was an alley next to the Red Cauldron, which was completely different from the bustling main street. Right after they entered the entrance of the alley, the dim light from the street lamps on the top of their heads made the quiet path even quieter.
Marcellus walked forward with his hands in his pockets. He raised his hand and touched his earlobe. He exhaled and looked up at the completely dark sky. After spending so much time in the noisy environment, he felt much more comfortable.
The tavern was called Jade House, which was situated in the middle of this path, and it was renovated from an old three-story residential building. Marcellus knew it because of the recommendation of the manager. He said that the dish here was delicious and worth a try.
