Chapter 69
“Sure thing.” Upon seeing that Severin was acting so arrogantly in front of him, One-Eye slammed his palm on a nearby table, which shattered right away and was destroyed in one swift move.
Judith and Maurice had never seen someone so strong before, and the blood drained from their faces immediately.
Diane knew that One-Eye was no ordinary individual, but she was nonetheless taken aback as well. She also knew that the owner of such a restaurant probably did not come from a simple background, so she immediately stepped forward and stopped Severin out of fear that Severin might offend yet another powerful person again.
“I’ll go with you. I’m curious to know who this friend of mine is!” Diane agreed without hesitation. The manager could not be happier to hear that. “Smart choice, Miss Diane. Please come with me!” “Honey! No! You can’t!” Severin was worried and immediately tried persuading her, “I assure you I can deal with these people!”
However, Diane turned around, handed Selene to Severin, and said, “Didn’t you say that you’ll always listen to me? I’m going up to see who this friend is. If he can solve this issue, then it’d be so much better than you causing trouble here!”
Severin was speechless. There was nothing he could say to refute here because he did make a promise to always listen to Diane. He thought about the situation for a moment and said, “Okay. He says it’s only going to take ten minutes, right? You can go. But if I don’t see you back here after ten minutes, I’ll charge up there and come get you!”
