Chapter 255: 254 Do Not Abandon, Do Not Give Up

254 Do Not Abandon, Do Not Give Up

"You've pissed me off to death!!!"

After the apple in its mouth was removed, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang spat out the sauce in its mouth with a series of "ptui, ptui, ptui" sounds, and roared in fury within Hearing Li Ang's soul:

"I am a demon! A Great Demon! That so-called Wang Erde, how dare he treat me like this? Don't stop me! Later, when we get out of here, I must tear him apart alive!"

Ah, yes, yes, yes. You, a little piece of trash with 8 points, will find it oh-so-easy to tear apart someone with 16 points.

Too lazy to bother with the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's impotent rage, Hearing Li Ang grabbed it by the horns it had used to skewer the two steamed buns, tossed the sauce-covered creature onto an empty plate used for trash, and then, while eating the other side dishes on the plate, watched the lip movements of the male and female leads chatting in the distance, carefully discerning their conversation.

According to the plot summary the Princess had given him, the male lead, Elijah, had originally only come to this small town to clear his head because he resisted a loveless marriage.

But after being attracted by Agatha's enthusiastic and cheerful personality and her endless vitality at the tavern, he invited her to show him around the small town. Their hearts grew closer over the eleven days of touring, and following Agatha being taken away and their subsequent reunion at the wedding, they became a couple for good.

After running through the plot in his mind, a look of contemplation flashed in Hearing Li Ang's eyes.

So the question arises: even if Agatha isn't a real waitress and is just working here, there are no other servers to be seen in this small tavern, and she has skipped work for over ten days in one go—doesn't the boss care?

Furthermore, judging from the content of the male and female leads' conversation, although both of them are a bit "lovestruck" and value love and freedom above all else, they aren't the type to be frivolous or casual.

With a marriage contract hanging over him and not having decided whether to run away, the male lead shouldn't be inviting a beautiful stranger to tour the town, and the female lead, Agatha, is of a relatively "reserved" nature; generally speaking, it's unlikely she would agree to such an intimate invitation to tour with a strange man for eleven days.

Therefore, in this first scene at the tavern, something must have happened to rapidly bridge the relationship between the two, if not making them accept each other, then at least establishing initial trust and sparking mutual affection.

Having deduced the possible shift in character attitudes for the first scene, Hearing Li Ang sized up the situation of the guests in the tavern and their states, and formed some guesses about what would happen next.

The most likely possibility is that some trouble arose in the tavern, the male lead tried to help Agatha, but it still resulted in her losing her job, so he invited her to be a tour guide to provide some financial compensation.

And because of the male lead's righteous words or something similar, Agatha developed trust and closeness toward him, and since she was planning to leave in two weeks anyway, she went with the flow and accepted the tour guide job. That would make everything reasonable.

As for the source of the trouble...

"Nonsense! My drinking capacity is excellent!"

Amidst Hearing Li Ang's thoughtful gaze, at a table of guests drinking until their faces were red, the male and female leads, who had been discussing poetry, finally saw a commotion break out.

A sailor, his face flushed red from drink, rolled up his sleeves, slammed his fist onto the tavern's broken wooden table, and argued with wide eyes and a bristling beard:

"I can drink at least five more! Even if both of you collapse, I'll still be standing straight!"

"Stop your damn bragging!"

The two sailors sitting opposite him laughed and scolded:

"Drink five more? With the way you're swaying, you'll be down after two more!"

"Haha, that's not wrong. If he drinks five more, he'll definitely be straight—lying straight on the ground!"

"Cut the crap!"

After being mercilessly mocked by his two companions, the sailor, who was already swaying, lost his temper, stood up abruptly, and shouted:

"If I lie down, I'm your grandson! This little bit of wine today doesn't even amount to a fraction of what I usually drink!"

"Alright, alright, I believe you. I'd even believe you if you said you could drink a whole barrel!"

"Haha, right, right. You usually drink a lot. Today you're swaying because of the sea breeze; it has nothing to do with the wine!"

"I... I'm telling the truth! If I'm lying, I'm a dog!"

After being teased a second time, the drunkard, feeling a bit backed into a corner, looked around, then grabbed "Agatha" by the arm, pulled her over with brute force, and roared drunkenly:

"A... Agatha or whatever! You're the waitress here, you tell them how much I usually drink when I come here!"

Having been suddenly pulled over while in the middle of a nice conversation, Agatha was startled.

But whether it was her natural disposition or the influence of the Princess, as the female lead, she quickly calmed down and replied gently:

"Guest, you are a bit drunk, perhaps..."

"Haha, hear that? She says you're drunk!"

"Still looking for someone to testify? Anyone can see you're done for, why keep up the act?"

Agatha's response might have been fine at other times, but to the strong man who was already in a dispute over his drinking capacity, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

Listening to the loud laughter of his two companions, the drunkard, with alcohol rushing to his head, turned red-eyed, gripped Agatha's shoulders with both hands, and glared with bloodshot eyes, shouting angrily:

"I'm not drunk! You little wench..."

"Let go!"

Just then, Hearing Li Ang felt the silk threads on his body pull violently, yanking him up from his seat, and then he shouted with eyes full of anger:

"Take your hands off! You are not allowed to harass my Agatha!"

Hmm? Is this my job? Shouldn't the male lead be the one coming out to help now?

Just as Hearing Li Ang was utterly confused, the drunkard, who was throwing a tantrum, widened his eyes, picked up an empty wine bottle from the table, and smashed it over. It hit the counter beside Hearing Li Ang and shattered into pieces!

"Ah!"

Accompanied by the scream of "Mr. Joseph," who had nearly been hit by the bottle, the drunkard twisted his thick neck and cursed with a glare:

"Get lost, pretty boy! I'm asking this little wench a question, what does it have to do with you? You just need to keep your own balls tucked away! One more peep and I'll beat you!"

Under the control of the silk threads, "Mr. Joseph," who had just been a "righteous warrior," actually followed the other's request, sat down with his legs crossed, his face pale, and shivering.

Got it... adding this bit suddenly is to use my retreat to highlight the male lead's rare courage, right?

Amidst Hearing Li Ang's slightly annoyed gaze, the drunkard turned back and was just about to continue, when he saw the guest at the next table stand up, cross his arms, and ask with a look of disgust:

"Are you lot sailors from the merchant ship 'Sea Sparrow'?"

"So what if we are?"

Seeing someone else stand up, the drunkard pointed at him and said impatiently:

"I said I was talking to him, not you, didn't I? Stop meddling in other people's business, hear me? Otherwise, watch out, I'll... hey!"

Seeing his hand being slapped away, the drunkard was furious. Just as he was about to take advantage of his drunken state to throw a punch, he saw the handsome man opposite him frown and say:

"I am very familiar with the first mate of the Sea Sparrow. If you cause trouble here, I will definitely tell him exactly what happened today!"

"Heh, you're threatening your father with him?"

The drunkard seemed provoked, walked over swaying, and said with a malicious look:

"So what if he's the first mate? Can the first mate stop me from drink... Ah!!!"

Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, the tip of a shiny leather shoe with a fake heel poked out from between the drunkard's legs... or to put it another way, that gaudily dressed kid who had been scared earlier had snuck over at some point and kicked the drunkard right in his "good brothers."

"Run!"

Taking advantage of the moment everyone was stunned, Hearing Li Ang, who had torn off the silk threads and rushed over, completing a secret kick to the balls passed down by a female police officer, scooped "Agatha" up horizontally and, amidst her screams, bolted for the door.

Even more outrageous was that before running, he didn't forget to kick over the table, dumping the leftovers onto the drunkard's companions, and before the three suddenly attacked men could react, he had disappeared around a corner after a few turns.

"..."

Watching the beauty leave him, the male lead, who was just about to continue his argument, couldn't help but be filled with confusion.

"..."

Watching the plot suddenly go off the rails below, the 【King of Drama】, who was holding the silk threads, was instantly stunned.

"There's still one who hasn't run!"

"Beat him!"

In the speechless silence, the three sailors who had suffered the loss were the first to react. Knowing they were drunk and definitely couldn't catch the two outside, they gritted their teeth, surrounded Elijah, who had been left behind, and prepared to vent their anger on him.

"Wait... wait! You can't hit me!"

Realizing that things were going south, the male lead could no longer care about hiding his identity and said with a pale face:

"I am a guest on the Sea Sparrow, and I am also..."

"Bang!"

Just as Elijah was about to reveal his identity to see if he could avoid the beating, he heard a door sound behind him. The pretty boy who had just run off with Agatha actually kicked the door open and rushed back in!

Amidst the stunned expressions of the few, Hearing Li Ang, dressed like a colorblind pheasant, rushed to the counter, grabbed the dog lying on it, then rushed to his previous seat, scooped up the unfinished "dishes" along with the plate, and finally flipped out the window, disappearing again at the corner of the street.

"..."

The three strong men were stunned.

"..."

The 【Drama Master】 holding the threads began to grit his teeth.

"..."

As for Elijah, who was surrounded by the three drunkards, he revealed an expression even uglier than crying.

No, you didn't just take the dog on this trip back, you even took the unfinished food on the table... what about me? I'm a living person, you could at least save me! ===== CHAPTER 256 =====
