cing the dish on the table, she intentionally nced at the gnawed corner of the table. Feeling
surprised, she inquired with a smile on her face, “May I ask who ate the corner of my table?”
Emmanuel nced at her and immediately responded, “Please include the cost of the table in the bill
later. I will pay for it.”
“No, no. You misunderstood!” The woman waved her hand and smiled as she said, “I heard from Red
that someone here can eat wood.”
Emmanuel furrowed his brows. He pretended to be confused as he asked, “Eat wood? Even if it’s
cooked, isn’t it still inedible?”
He didn’t want Shane’s incident to spread, as finding a partner was already difficult for him. If the others
knew about his strange illness, it would be even harder for him to find a woman.
“Sir, you have quite a sense of humor!” The womanughed as she directly stated her purpose, “I’m the
landy of this restaurant. If you have someone who can eat wood, I invite you to perform in my
restaurant. I can pay you a performance fee. What do you think?”
In this era of the inte and social media, showcasing and live streaming a unique talent like eating
wood in a restaurant would definitely attract attention. Not only that, but it could bring explosive
poprity.
When her restaurant became popr, she would receive unimaginable profits-thendy was truly a
shrewd businesswoman.
To be honest, even Shane was a little tempted.
After working hard outside for a few years, he had always wanted to buy a house and a car and get
married. After enduring so much, he finally managed to buy a second-hand car. Nevertheless, he was
now facing unemployment. If there was a job that could make money, he was willing to give it a try.
However, Emmanuel shook his head as he refused, “You’ve misunderstood. No one can eat wood! My
friend identally damaged your table. Please stop making baseless ims!”
Emmanuel was knowledgeable in the medical field. He knew that eating too much wood would
definitely have long-term effects on Shane’s health, so he couldn’t let him harm himself for money.
However, thendy continued to persuade him, “You don’t have to lie to me. It’s obvious that the
table was gnawed by someone. Since no one saw you just now, why don’t you perform for everyone? If
you doubt my sincerity, I can pay you in advance—”
“Stop it!” Emmanuel interrupted. He then asked seriously, “Do we look like we’re in need of money?”
“Uh…” Thendy suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, if they were short on money, they wouldn’t be dining in the best restaurant in the vicinity, not to
mention that they even booked a private room.
“Fine. Since you all won’t cooperate, I won’t bother you!” Thendy left in displeasure as she
muttered to herself.
After she left, Shane couldn’t help but ask, “Manny, thendy does have a point. Why don’t you let
me go and perform eating wood to make money?”
On the other hand, Terrence burst intoughter. He found this fat guy honest and interesting.
“Listen, Shane!” Emmanuel suddenly turned serious as he called Shane. Then, he said, “Master said
that as martial artists, we should be guided by righteousness. We cannot be swayed by women or lost
in pursuit of money. If he knows about it, he will definitely not allow you to make money like this!”
Upon hearing his words, Terrence secretly gave him a thumbs up. He was once impressed by his
qualities, which led him to marry his granddaughter to him.
Unexpectedly, Shane immediately got excited and said, “Who said he won’t allow it? He said as long as
I can find a wife, he allows me to do anything! Manny, look at my condition-if I still don’t have money,
how can I find a wife?”
“Uh, you should have said that earlier!” Emmanuel shrugged and said, “How about I go back and talk to
the owner?”
Pfft!
Terrence almost spurted blood on the spot. Then, he burst intoughter as he found them extremely
interesting. It was an enjoyable deed to have a meal with them.
