Chapter 11: Commotion
I rubbed my belly as I finished eating my food.
"Do you like the food, Misha?"
She stared at me and nodded. "It's delicious."
There's some leftover on her cheek so I picked it using my index finger.
"I'm so full, isn't the food here the best?" Mehrad said as he leaned on his chair and gazed at both of us.
"Yeah, it is," I replied.
"Are you 2 planning to stay here for good?"
"That's my initial plan, but it still depends. If I want to stay here, I need to find a sustainable job first."nove(l)bi(n.)com
"There are very few jobs available in this place, in order to strive here, you need to be at least tough enough to survive, especially that business owners are wary of the newcomers, which is understandable. If you want a proper job and you think that you are strong enough to fight, there are some that I can recommend, being a faction leader's security personnel is one of the profitable jobs here, or you can go to the second faction and apply as a mercenary. That's a decent job as well if I must say." He covered his mouth as he used a toothpick.
I exhaled. "Is it just me or do the jobs in this place always involve fighting shits to death or being part of a shady syndicate?"
He removed his hand on his face and revealed his gentle smile. "Welcome to the lawless town of Agrona."
But our discussion was interrupted when a sudden commotion occurred inside the restaurant.
"Mister, please don't cause any violence in this establishment." The blonde cat girl waitress pleaded to the person who was responsible for the loud banging noises that disrupted the restaurant.
However, rather than stopping, the culprit flipped the table, throwing everything in it.
"What do you mean don't cause any violence? This place isn't called a lawless town for nothing right? There are no rules in this place! I will do whatever I please." He stood up revealing his appearance while flexing his muscular arms.
His entire body consists of a body of an ox except for his muscular human-like arms and hands, he's walking using his 2 feet. A gray towering beastkin with a threatening deep voice.
A freaking Minotaur!
That really is bad news.
I was about to stand up when...
"It's either you will leave this place on your own accord, or you'll never get out of this place alive. For the last time, I'm asking you to leave." Mehrad's voice still sounded gentle but there's something in it that instantly sent a chill down right in my spine.
The irritation emerged on the Minotaur's face as he violently breathed out. "Don't mess with me!"
The Minotaur hurled his muscular arms towards Mehrad, and the next thing we heard was a loud sound of something getting smashed to the floor.
What we saw next was the horrified face of the 7 Minotaur looking at their comrade lying on the floor with his head completely crushed.
It transpired very quickly, but I saw it happen. He completely annihilated the Minotaur in just one punch.
Without using a skill. Just pure physical strength.
Without a doubt, this guy is freaking strong!
The 7 Minotaurs immediately walked back with great fear in their eyes. One of them actually fell on his knees while shivering.
"Now, if you don't mind, kind gentlemen, I'm asking you again to quietly leave this place, and please bring this kind gentleman with you, his fine body will hinder the waitresses if he's in the way. Thank you very much."
As if a switch was pushed, the 7 Minotaurs immediately moved and dragged the corpse of their comrade out of the restaurant with pure terror written all over their faces.
After the Minotaurs left, the entire place remained silent.
Mehrad chuckled while scratching the back of his head. "Forgive the commotion I made, I hope I didn't disturb you all."
The crowd greeted him with cheering and roars.
The waitress held by the Minotaur earlier repeatedly bowed her head. "Forgive us that you need to settle this yourself, Master Mehrad."
"As I said earlier, don't worry about it."
