.

Marco walked away - perhaps he had already wanted to leave, he had long since wanted to continue listening to the merciless rants and rants of this rude guest, but he was afraid that turning his head and leaving without saying a word would make the man in gray feel that he was being despised and would be even more enraged, and that would be even worse, and he would be even more unable to eat and walk around.

Rhodes' sudden intervention was an unexpected surprise for him, like a lifeline when he was drowning. Although he didn't know why Rhodes did this, why he took the initiative to take the trouble on himself, he didn't care much, he just wanted to get out of this damn and uncomfortable situation as soon as possible. And he wasn't afraid that the man in gray would pull him back or something, because it was clear that now he and everyone else were focused on Rhodes.

The young man was dressed in a bartender's standard uniform, his hair was meticulous, and he still had that no-fault smile on his face. In front of him, the gray-clothed man's eyes were fiercely dangerous.

"I hope you understand what you've done, kid." He said in a low voice, word by word, and pointed in the direction where Marco had just disappeared without turning his head, "That person is very rude to offend me, this matter can't be so simple!" ”

"Do you want to continue to vent your frustration?" Rhodes smiled and tilted his head, "I guess you're not that interested anymore, are you?" ”

“……”

The man in gray choked. Rhodes was right, if he had been scolded like that, then he would probably have been scolding for half an hour before he could enjoy it, but after being interrupted for a while, he was very uncomfortable, he couldn't pick it up, and he didn't have enough gas to start again. But as he said, this matter is definitely not so simple.

How did the pig stand in front of him in this dress?

The smile on Rhodes' face didn't change in the slightest, but his eyes narrowed slightly. Maintaining his politeness and manners, he stepped back with one hand behind his back and made a gentlemanly gesture to the man in gray.

"Of course, I think you're absolutely right. Of course, this matter can't just be left at that. His voice was always light, but with a slight hint of a low voice, and he said to the man in gray, "So, what do you want?" ”

"What?" The man in gray's brow furrowed.

"It seems that I didn't explain it just now, I'm really sorry, it's 100% my fault, so I obviously have an absolute obligation to repeat what I just said, and this time I absolutely want to make you understand."

Slowly, Rhodes moved forward, little by little, approaching the man in gray, the corners of his mouth still smiling, but there was a hint of inexplicability in his tone.

"I said, you're right, you're right." "Marco's fool, that lowly servant, that ordinary man who has no comparison with you, in wealth or status, that he served you the wrong drink, and it happens to be the kind of wine you hate the most—it's unforgivable, isn't it?" How can this be forgiven? It is an intolerable offense, an insult not to be done to a noble man of high class like you, for whom he should pay a price that he cannot escape in any way, and I think no one will deny this wise and just decision, and all should weep and cheer with emotion—what are you going to do with him, then, distinguished guest? ”

“……”

"Shall you make a specimen of him and soak it in the finest wine and put it in your cellar at home, or will it be simpler and put it in a sack and throw it in the mail truck and send it to you?"

"No, I ......"

"By the way, if it's the second way, then there's a good chance he'll be struggling in the bag, right, it's going to cause you unnecessary trouble, and it seems that the mail truck can't send live things directly - so sure enough, it's still a bar?"

"Wait a minute......"

"Oh, are you going to stick to the mail? It's okay, but for your own safety, and for the convenience of mailing, it's too inappropriate for the whole person to send it, how about cutting it into pieces and putting it in a box? You can also cut it into shreds! ”

"Rhodes!"

A roar of anger disrupted everything, like a boulder falling from the sky, smashing the mirror-like surface of the water with a strong blow!

The man in gray trembled, his eyes blinked, and he suddenly regained his clarity. He suddenly realized that the squinting and smiling bartender had come to him very closely—too closely—the noses of the two were about to touch together, and the most important thing was that after he reacted now, he leaned back slightly, and his back arched out in a small arc, as if he couldn't bear the powerful and strange oppressive feeling of Rhodes leaning over.

The other party didn't even touch himself.

With a sharp dry cough, the man in gray took two steps back, glaring at his tie. He watched as Rhodes, who also slowly withdrew his upper body, stood up straight with his hands behind his back, and still looked at him with a smile, his throat moved up and down with his mouth closed, and he didn't say a word.

Rhodes glanced indifferently at the man in gray, then turned his head to look to his side. The fat foreman didn't know when he came to the two of them, and he shouted the voice just now.

The fat foreman's dark face showed that he was in a bad mood, but with a little doubt in his eyes, he looked at Rhodes and then at the man in gray. Originally, he didn't plan to come over, originally he thought that this kid Rhodes would look for death by himself, and it would be a big deal to replace Marco and be scolded. But he looked at it and found that things were going a little differently than he thought, how could the inexplicable Rhodes become the strong side? While talking non-stop, he pressed back on the man in gray little by little? And it's the kind that is so pressed that the man in gray has no room to resist at all?

That's not going to work! If the man in gray really suffered a loss here today and didn't vent all the anger and resentment in his heart, then it might not only be Rhodes and Marco who would be unlucky afterwards, but the bar might also be affected!

He had to take care of it.

"What are you doing, Rhodes?"

"Mr. Val." The foreman spoke, and Rhodes bowed his head politely and stretched out his hand in the direction of the man in gray, "Marco just offended this distinguished guest because of a low-level mistake, and I am doing a regular exchange on the issue of apologies. We had a very pleasant conversation until the first position, and we are about to have a result. ”

And then you idiot just jumped over and made trouble.

"Regular communication on the issue of apology? Still happy? The fat foreman Val raised his eyebrows, looked at Rhodes with distrust, and suddenly realized why he hadn't noticed that this kid was so slippery before?

With a snort, he turned his head to look at the man in gray, cleared his throat briefly, tried to make his voice sound humble and polite, and lowered himself by three points before he could speak.

"Mr. Gavrey," he said cautiously, "you...... You okay? ”

He originally wanted to say something else, but the man in gray did look a little bad at this time, and his face was ugly. But immediately, the high-class existence of Bablore quickly recovered, especially Val's awe-filled attitude allowed him to get rid of the strange discomfort he had before, and regain his usual noble momentum.

His nostrils flared, he took a deep breath, and nodded simply and haughtily, in response to Val. But his eyes were still on Rhodes, and the bartender who popped up out of nowhere made him uncomfortable.

"Rhodes just said that the exchange with you is almost concluded, may I ask you that you want to ...... Marco's fault" Seeing that Gavri seemed to be "normal" again at last, Val breathed a sigh of relief, and then cautiously asked again. Now that you have come over to interject, it is impossible to quit halfway, so you can only manage it to the end. Hopefully, Rhodes is right, and hopefully the exchange between them has indeed come to fruition.

"The ......"

Referring to the root of today's incident, Gavri was just about to say something, when he suddenly thought of what Rhodes had said to him just now, those "ways to deal with it", and he happened to see Rhodes standing there smiling and looking at himself in a friendly manner, and his throat suddenly tightened a lot. But soon, his eyes rolled, and his expression immediately relaxed.

"Just now you Mr. 'Rhodes'—" he gestured at Rhodes, in an arrogant, condescending tone, "with a couple of interesting offers to me, and I felt your sincerity. But I'm not a devil, and of course I can't really do such a cruel thing. ”

I didn't even think about it, I felt sick to my stomach when I thought about it, where did this neuropathy come from, and I really should be locked up in an insane asylum! Gavri added a few words viciously in his heart.

"But like I said, this can't be done that way!" He said in a low, clear voice, looking at Rhodes coldly, "Let that kid come out, kneel down and apologize to me, that's it!" ”

“……”

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and didn't speak. And Val next to him frowned suddenly.

"Kneel down and apologize?"

He hesitated, and even he felt that it was too much.

"That kid—or maybe he can do it too." Gavri snorted, squinting his eyes and pointing his finger at Rhodes, smiling hideously at the corners of his mouth, "Doesn't he like to help his friends?" I think he might be happy to help with that. ”

“……”

"Mr. Gaffrey......"

"It's all right, Mr. Val."

Rhodes reached out and stopped Val who wanted to say something more, still smiling, half-open and lowering his gaze.

"I think Mr. Gaffrey's proposal is good, and I think it's a good idea to get down on your knees and apologize."

"You-"

Val turned his head to look at Rhodes, his brow furrowed into a pimple. Gavrey, on the other hand, had a mocking and disdainful smile on his face, and adjusted his posture to face Rhodes, so that he could take it completely when he knelt, and not go in the wrong direction.

However, at this moment, a clear and somewhat low girl's voice suddenly sounded not far behind her, instantly piercing the frozen air of the bar, like black lightning domineering and incomparably slashing into the ears of everyone present.

"I also think it's a good idea, and it's a good idea to kneel down and apologize!"
