Peter had actually been paying attention to these guys for a long time. Ever since they showed up, they kept on peeking sideways at him every now and then. Obviously, they weren't here to eat; instead, they were here for him.
On top of all that, although they had disguised themselves as ordinary hooligans, Peter could easily tell that they were not just some street gangsters. He could sense that these guys were far more dangerous than they looked. Most likely, they were guys that had killed before.
"Hey sexy lady, how much for a night?" A young man, who looked like the leader of the group, drunkenly asked. His attention had been locked on Shelly and Lisa this whole time as if he was going to swallow them up.
The guys behind him were laughing loudly, all of them surrounding Peter and the two girls, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Lisa was a well-behaved girl. She had never been in such a tricky situation before. She was so scared that her face turned pale; she hid behind Peter immediately.
Shelly was much braver than Lisa. It was probably because Peter was with them. She didn't show any signs of being frightened at all.
"You asshole, take your money and go the fuck home to your mommy!" With dauntless courage and Peter's presence, Shelly screamed, grabbed an empty bottle from the table, and slammed it on the young man's head.
They had only wanted to have a nice, quiet dinner with Peter, but things had just been going awry. They had already drawn two bunches of thugs in one night.
Unfortunately, Shelly looked stronger than she actually was. Indeed, she was very fast but not fast enough to hit the young man's head.
Blocking the hit from Shelly, the young man whipped his hand through the air and flicked Shelly's soft and fair hand aside. The bottle flew away from them and dropped on the ground, shattering to pieces.
"What a hot chick! I love hot chicks. This should be fun, " The young man said as he licked his lips in thirst. Instead of getting mad at Shelly, he became more impudent.
Shelly ground her teeth and pouted. She could feel her cheeks flush with anger. However, she could not do anything but to turn to Peter.
With a scornful face, the young man suddenly laughed when he saw Shelly turn to Peter for help. He yelled at Peter, "Hey, little boy. I'm interested in these two girls, so you'd better get out of here right now, or I'll kick your ass."
Peter hesitated for a second, and then he turned away without saying a word.
His reaction made the young man's jaw drop. That wasn't what he had expected. In an ideal situation, Peter should have been mad at him, therefore giving him a chance to hit Peter. After all, he had disrespected the girls in public.
To walk away from the circle, Peter told the guys blocking his way, "Excuse me, bro."
"Excuse me?" The young guys were dazed at first, but then they broke into a laugh. They were here for Peter. How could they let him go?
The group of thugs didn't expect that the man that Mr. Gao had asked them to deal with was a coward. Since they found out that he was a wimp, they came up with a plan to humiliate him, instead.
One of the young guys smirked, lifted one of his legs, and rested it on the stool next to him. He, then, pointed at the gap between his legs and said, "Go under and crawl through like a dog. Then, I'll let you leave."
"Yeah, yeah, go under, or we won't allow you to leave!"
"Damn it, why hadn't I thought of that? I have to record it with my phone. Who knows? It might go viral."
The rest of the men were laughing hysterically. One of them even spat on the floor, pointed at the glob of saliva, and said, "In addition to crawling through, you have to lick that and clean it like a dog!"
"Yes! Lick the floor clean!"
"Hahaha!"
The laughs and noises these young guys made had attracted many people's attention. Some of them observed from far away, waiting to see what was going to happen next.
Looking at Peter and his friends who were surrounded by the hoodlums, they felt very sorry for the girls.
However, the spectators didn't feel sorry for Peter. They thought that he was so cheeky and ostentatious to have brought two hot girls to dinner. He deserved this bad luck.
The owner of the barbecue stall was scared, so he hid himself, avoiding the situation. He had no guts to stop the farce. All he could do was pick up his mobile phone and call the police.
"Bo.. boss. This is not right. Please let me off, okay?" Peter bit his teeth and begged. He looked extremely frightened.
"Bullshit! Kneel down quick and lick it. Now!" One of the young men rolled his eyes and jumped up immediately. He faced Peter and patted one of his hands on poor Peter's face, wanting to slap him.
Ouch!
