...

Luke picked up his glass, took a sip of Bamboo Leaf Green, and had no intention of going to the restroom.

Luke had lost patience with this cousin. He sought him out because he was part of the family, and only for the sake of his father and uncle did he not completely give up on him.

But to say that Luke cared deeply, not really.

Luke wasn't interested in talking to him alone, much less educating him.

He doesn't even listen to his own father, so how can you expect him to listen to me? Luke doesn't have Naruto's powerful persuasion.

Finding him was enough for Luke to complete his task.

He took out his phone and sent a text to his uncle, then continued eating.

The roast pigeon at this restaurant was genuinely good and paired well with wine.

After a while, Will finally came out of the bathroom, looking a bit uneasy.

A buddy with an earring jokingly said, "Why did you take so long to come back, man? We thought you fell in.

We were even thinking about drawing straws on who should go save you."

"Screw you, you're the one who fell in." Will playfully cursed back, linking arms with his companion as they sat together.

After the food was served, they all began to eat and drink heartily.

Will occasionally glanced at Luke, but Luke didn't respond at all.

Will seemed a bit distracted, drinking a lot and eating tastelessly.

An hour later, two of the group were already drunk, supporting each other as they stood up and left the restaurant.

At this time, a young girl yawning at the cashier said, "Mom, they haven't paid yet."

The landlady, busy with accounts, glanced up and said, "Don't bother with them."

"I remember they didn't pay last time either. Why didn't they pay again this time? Even us kids know you need to pay for your meals. Haven't they learned this?"

The landlady glanced towards the doorway, seemingly afraid that the group would hear, "You remember wrong, an uncle paid last time."

The girl huffed, "Even if I remembered wrong last time. Why aren't they paying this time?"

The girl's voice was not small. Luke glanced over and, perhaps it was just his imagination, but it seemed that Will's cheeks were a bit red.

If Will really joined the Flying Dragon Gang to find backing, then what's the difference between their behavior of shirking payment now and that of He Sheng Hall?

It's just a matter of changing the gang's name, and Will becomes an accomplice instead of a victim.

Fortunately, the bunch of hooligans drank too much, their hearing went dull, and they didn't hear the girl's words, leaving the restaurant together.

Of course, maybe they heard but simply couldn't care less.

Leaving the restaurant, Will sighed in relief. He wanted to leave quickly but was still supporting a drunk companion.

"Will!

Li Weier!" Two familiar voices called out, shaking Will to the core, instantly sobering him up.

Will looked up to see his father and mother.

How did they come here?

Of course, it must have been Luke who snitched.

Li Zhaonian walked up quickly, pointing at Will's nose, and cursed, "You brat, you're not dead yet.

You refuse to come home, and we've been worrying ourselves sick, while you're here feasting in a restaurant.

We've been worried for nothing."

Yao Xin grabbed her son's shoulders, looking him over, "Will, where have you been? You had us so worried.

Let's go home.

Zhaonian, stop scolding, let's take our son home first."

The tattooed guy asked, "Will, are these your parents?"

"Yes, Wolf Brother. I haven't been home for a while, I'll go back with them first, I'll find you guys tomorrow."

Wolf Brother nodded, said to Li Zhaofeng and Yao Xin, "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry.

As long as I'm looking after Will, he won't suffer any losses.

Just ease your minds and wait to enjoy life!"

Inwardly, Li Zhaonian cursed, "Enjoy life, my foot! You lot don't look like good people, if Will follows you, he'll surely be led astray."

At the same time, he blamed Will for not living up to expectations. They had just had a conflict with He Sheng Hall, and now he's messing around with hooligans again?

What kind of people are these?

Flower-arm Wolf Brother called out, and left with the three hooligans.

Will asked, "Mom, Dad, did my cousin tell you to come?"

Yao Xin asked, "If Luke hadn't told us, how much longer were you planning on keeping it from us?"

"I wasn't planning to hide it from you; I was going to come back after a while."

Li Zhaonian pointed at the backs of Wolf Brother's group, "Who are they?"

"My friends."

"Friends?

Just look at them, each one of them dressed like rascals. Can they be decent people?

Why are you hanging out with people like that?

Are you trying to give us a heart attack?" Li Zhaonian was filled with exasperation; if he wasn't worried about Will running off again, he really wanted to give him a slap.

"Mom, Dad, just leave it, I'm grown up, I have my own plans."

Li Zhaonian shouted, "Plans, what plans? Let's hear them."

If you can convince us, we'll leave now and never bother you again."

Yao Xin advised, "Zhaonian, stop speaking in anger.

Will, let's go home first, we can talk at home."

Li Zhaonian said, "What home? Can we still go home?"

"Then let's take Will to his grandparents."

"They're so old, us going to their place yelling and screaming would surely kill them."

Will asked in surprise, "Mom, Dad, what are you talking about? How's it that we can't go home?"
