Chapter 955

As the door of the private room swung open, a middle-aged woman entered while carrying a dish.

Placing the dish on the table, she intentionally glanced 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 glanced 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 woman laughed as she directly stated her purpose, “I’m the landlady

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 internet 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 popularity.

When her restaurant became popular, she would receive unimaginable profits-the landlady 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

accidentally damaged your table. Please stop making baseless claims!”

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, the landlady 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…” The landlady 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!” The landlady left in displeasure as she muttered to

herself.

After she left, Shane couldn’t help but ask, “Manny, the landlady does have a point. Why don’t you let me go and

perform eating wood to make money?”

On the other hand, Terrence burst into laughter. 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 into laughter as he found them extremely interesting. It

was an enjoyable deed to have a meal with them.
