“How could you bring yourself to deceive the innocents with your poisonous food! Get out of Brentwood!” “That's right! You have killed people! Can’t you see? This man is even foaming in his mouth and unconscious!” “Hurry up and compensate us already! You heartless restaurant! Do you still have any shred of humanity left in you? We have already called the police.” There were many more comments coming from the crowd. The closer Christopher approached Luna, the more voices from the crowd entered his ears. With every sentence, Christopher grasped the situation better. Immediately, he picked up his pace and arrived in front of Luna. He noticed that Luna’s expression was not good, and Scarlett, who was standing right beside her, was supporting her. Luna’s delicate face was stained with exhaustion; her eyebrows were slightly frowned, but she didn’t say a word. Christopher took a glance at the crowd next to him and saw that they were infuriated—most of them had an angry expression. At this rate, they looked as if they were going to stampede and get in a fight with the employees from The Serenade. Looking to the side, Christopher saw a man kneeling on the ground—his hair was messy, and he was wearing a tattered gray shirt. He wiped his eyes with his hands, and there were still tears flowing from his eyes. Beside this man in the gray shirt was a man who wore a white shirt and was lying on a blue stretcher. His face was very pale, without the slightest hint of redness; his eyes were closed, and the corners of his mouth were foaming. His body was twitching, and his lips were terrifyingly purple. “Director, what’s going on?” When Christopher saw the person who was lying down, looking like he was poisoned, he frowned tightly and he turned his head to ask Luna. As soon as Luna heard his voice, her frowned eyebrows relaxed slightly, and she quickly turned around to face him. When she saw that it was indeed Christopher, she breathed a sigh of relief then said helplessly, “I’m not sure myself. This happened not long ago. These two people claimed that man had been poisoned by a food they ate at The Serenade. This has never happened at The Serenade before. I told them to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but they refused to, and when I agreed to compensate them, they asked for 500,000.” After Luna finished speaking, Christopher immediately understood that they were looking for trouble with the restaurant. The others might not be clear about the purpose of their visit, but Christopher was. “500,000!?” As soon as Christopher heard this, he immediately understood the main purpose of these people. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his head to look at the two next to him. As a matter of fact, no one would give out 500,000 to others randomly before figuring out the actual situation, not to mention to the two people in front of him. Christopher then slowly walked toward these two seemingly miserable people. “Guys, what happened to you two? This man that is foaming his mouth next to you doesn’t seem to be doing very well!” Christopher went over to them and said with a smile. Hearing these words, a look of anger immediately spreaded on the face of Hansel Young, who was dressed in grey clothes. All of a sudden, he stood up from his spot and pointed at Christopher’s nose. “As*holes! All of you in The Serenade! You are as*holes! Didn’t you see that my brother has been poisoned and is now foaming at his mouth and unconscious? The hospital said that he was so severely poisoned that he could no longer be cured! Pay up now!” When the people surrounding him heard what Hansel said, they all began to openly accuse The Serenade again. They even started to swear when they saw the smile hanging on Chrsitopher’s lips. When Christopher heard what Hansel said, a look of astonishment painted his face. So he said while pointing at the poisoned man next to Hansel, “Well, what you are trying to say is that your brother is now very poisoned and can’t move at all; even the doctor said that there is no way to rescue him. So, your brother is equivalent to being dead now, right?” Hearing this, Hansel snorted and said with an angry tone, “Can’t you see for yourself? With the situation that my brother is currently in, how could he still walk and move? The food in The Serenade is poisonous, but you still refuse to admit it. I have already called the reporters and the Consumer Association. I must expose your restaurant’s heartlessness.” As soon as Hansel finished speaking, a bunch of news reporters emerged from the crowd nearby. Some of them were holding microphones with the logo of the magazine they were representing, and they also had cameras next to them. Just when they approached, they immediately started asking Luna questions. “Hello, Ms. Sear, is it true that the food in The Serenade is really poisonous? If it is poisonous, could you tell us what possible poisons are there?” “Over here, Ms. Sears. Are the food materials of The Serenade strictly screened? Could you please tell us more about the screening process?” “Ms. Sears, may I know whether the chefs in The Serenade had indeed cut corners before? Has it caused any harm to the consumers’ body?” “Ms. Sears, what do you think of The Serenade’s food poisoning incident this time? Have there been similar incidents before?” Countless reporters instantly swarmed Luna, all while throwing questions at her. Each question was very sharp, rendering Luna speechless. Christopher was taken aback by the crowd of reporters who appeared out of nowhere. It seemed that whoever was behind this came prepared, or else they wouldn’t even call the reporters and say that they had called the Consumers Association. How interesting, he thought. As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Christopher stood in front of Luna at once. To Luna's surprise, Christopher was able to answer all of the reporters’ questions.“Hi, everyone. I am Christopher Yard from The Serenade, and I am one of the chefs. I can assure you that the food in The Serenade is absolutely safe, and the rumor about our food being poisonous is fake. If you don’t believe what I said, I will prove it to you.” Hearing this, although she didn’t know how Christopher would solve this, Luna felt a sense of security in her heart randomly. Recently, she always felt that no matter how difficult things were, to Christopher, they were nothing but trivial matters. Upon hearing Christopher’s words, Hansel and the news reporters, who came here with their own purposes, showed an indifferent smile. Christopher could tell that there were some inexplicable meanings behind these smiles. “Mr. Yard, is it? This man beside you is already foaming in his mouth and has purplish lips. It has been diagnosed by the doctors that he cannot be saved. What else do you have to say for yourself and The Serenade?” The moment the reporter finished speaking, Hansel revealed a hospital certificate. Christopher glanced at the hospital certificate above and couldn’t find the slightest flaw on it at all.
