Tina herself was thinking that both parties involved weren’t nice men. She didn’t need to directly involve herself with them since they were just fighting among their own kind. However, she was ready to call the police if things got too messy.
At that moment, a loud crash was heard. Gerald had apparently knocked down a vase.
The shrill sound of shattering glass further attracted the attention of everyone in the bar.
“Good sirs, you’ve clearly done it now! Not only did you refuse to order anything, you even smashed one of the vases here!” sneered the woman as she crossed her arms. She knew that the trio before her didn’t mean well.
“F*cking hell! It’s just a vase! We’ll just compensate for it!” shouted Yoel in return.
“I’m glad you’re willing to do so! But I first need to ask my boss regarding the exact price you’ll have to compensate!” replied the woman as she looked toward the spot where Hugh was standing earlier. Hugh however, had already started walking toward the group.
“What’s the meaning of all this?”
“Boss! These three refused to order anything and they even broke one of our vases! They’re definitely here to create trouble! They have agreed on compensating for the vase, though,” explained the woman.
As he took a cigarette out, Hugh simply sneered before saying, “It’s good that you’re at least willing to compensate! Acting all bold and audacious before me, how dare you even offend me! However, I’m a nice person, so you’ll only need to give me five hundred thousand dollars!”
He then puffed his cigarette as he continued glaring at Gerald’s group.
Everyone’s eyes were glued on the scene happening before them now. After all, who wouldn’t want to watch others get hit by misfortune? Even the DJ had turned off the stereo system.
At that moment, a few men who had their hair dyed in multiple different colors began surrounding Gerald’s group. They seemed to be people who frequented the bar to have fun.
“What’s wrong, Hugh?” asked one of the men.
“So that’s why you looked so familiar! You’re the boyfriend of that Yorkes lady! Fck! And here I was thinking who you were! You audacious, bstard! Didn’t I teach you a lesson before? It seems like I wasn’t harsh enough!”
