Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Hiring People to Cause Trouble at the Restaurant

Bai Su frowned slightly, looking at the men.

Their faces showed no concern for their companion, only furtive, shifty-eyed expressions as they glanced all around.

It seemed they weren’t worried about their companion’s stomachache from eating bad food; they were more eager to find her, the owner, and hold her accountable.

’I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on,’ Bai Su thought as she walked out. "What’s the matter?"

She brought the livestream camera out with her.

Live Comments: [Great, more people showing up to cause trouble.]

[Running a restaurant sure isn’t easy for the boss. How can there be so many people looking for trouble day after day?]

[Call the Leader over and have him execute them! How audacious! Daring to stir up trouble for no reason!]

[HAHAHAHAHA, no joke, our Leader would totally do something like that.]

[I don’t get it. How are these people so bold? Daring to cause trouble at the Leader’s Wife’s restaurant.]

The leader was a Crocodile Beastman. He looked Bai Su up and down. "You’re the owner, right?"

Bai Su nodded. "I am."

The Crocodile Beastman pointed at the Beastman on the stretcher. "This is my brother. He ate at your restaurant today, and not long after he got back, he started suffering from unbearable stomach pain. You’re the Leader’s Wife, so we wouldn’t dare do anything to you. We’ll let you decide how to handle this."

Bai Su smiled warmly at them. "If it’s his first time here, it’s normal to feel some discomfort after eating my food. It’s possible the food is helping his body detoxify. However..."

She glanced at the person on the stretcher. "This Beastman looks unfamiliar. I don’t believe he’s ever eaten at my restaurant before, has he?"

"Are you trying to deny it?" The Crocodile Beastman grew anxious. "Boss, you can’t use your status as the Leader’s Wife to bully us common folk! Your restaurant has so many customers. Can you guarantee you remember every single face?"

"My brother just left your restaurant. How could that be a lie?"

The man on the stretcher clutched his stomach and cried out even louder, "Owwww, my stomach! It hurts so much..."

Bai Su’s lips twitched. "My food contains a Healing Ability. If you had really eaten my food just now, I would be able to sense that Healing Ability on you. But there’s nothing on you at all. You clearly didn’t eat my food."

Hearing this, the Crocodile Beastman beside him looked displeased, but because she was the Leader’s fiancée, he didn’t dare to be too aggressive. "This is your restaurant, so of course you’d say he didn’t eat here. But my brother is in this state precisely because he ate your food."

"You have to give us an explanation. You can’t just ignore my brother’s life and death to protect your restaurant’s reputation."

"We’re not asking for much. Could you at least reimburse my brother’s medical expenses for a doctor’s visit?"

"He came to your restaurant to eat, paid for such an expensive meal, and ended up having to go to the hospital."

Bai Su’s expression darkened. She looked at them. "Fine. Since you claim he ate at my restaurant, where’s the proof? How do I know he didn’t just eat something bad elsewhere and is now trying to pin the blame on me?"

Live Comments: [This Crocodile Beastman’s attitude doesn’t seem that aggressive. It doesn’t look like he’s here to cause trouble.]

[Could it be real?]

[I don’t know. Let’s wait and see.]

[It’s not necessarily stirring up trouble. After all, the boss is the Federation Leader’s fiancée. I think he might have really gotten sick from the food.]

[I’ve read ancient history books. Before canned food was invented, there were many restaurants like this one, but they basically all had food safety issues. Most Beastman families chose to cook at home and rarely ate out.]

A troubled look appeared on the Crocodile Beastman’s face. "How are we supposed to give you proof? The food is already in his stomach. You can’t expect my brother to cut open his belly to show you, can you?"

Bai Su said, "Then I’m sorry. If you can’t produce any evidence, then this is slander. If I indulge you today, and two more people come tomorrow claiming they got sick from my restaurant, would I have to pay them compensation too?"

"If everyone did this, how could I possibly keep my restaurant open? If you’re going to say he got sick from my food, you should at least present some evidence, right?"

"Where’s the proof? You have none, yet you stand here spouting nonsense. With so many people in my restaurant, you’re ruining my reputation! How am I supposed to do business in the future?"

The Crocodile Beastman flew into a rage out of embarrassment. "You! So you’re just refusing to take responsibility, is that it?"

Bai Su replied, "It wasn’t a problem caused by my restaurant, so why should I be responsible?"

"Owwww, my stomach hurts so much! Boss, you can’t just ignore me! I really did get sick from your restaurant!"
