C86 I Just Want to Castrate You!!

Zhang Chen's eyes went wide as he asked in utter disbelief.

Despite bracing himself, the price still sent him reeling in shock!

Over two hundred thousand?

How could a dish be this outrageously expensive?

It wasn't that Zhang Chen was stingy, but he wondered if anyone would actually pay such a steep price for a meal.

Could the cost really be that high?

The waitress paused, a look of awkwardness flashing in her eyes.

She hadn't set the price.

With a sense of injustice, she bowed her head, at a loss for words.

Yee Qingsong and his companions exchanged glances, barely containing their mirth, though their eyes danced with mockery.

Zhang Chen snapped out of it and gave a frustrated eye roll.

After all, Su Mang didn't make money easily.

He mulled it over briefly before pulling a bank card from his pocket and passing it to the waitress.

She accepted the card promptly.

But before she could even turn away, the room erupted in raucous laughter.

"Hahaha!"

The loud outburst startled the waitress so much she nearly flung the bank card away!

Zhang Chen shot them a withering look, his heart sinking with resignation.

Quickly, Yee Qingsong quipped with a grin, "Mr. Zhang Chen, is that a bank card? Which bank does it belong to?"

"Don't even try to tell us you forgot your bank card later—we won't buy it!"

Monkey Man taunted, "Bro, you made a promise. If you can't cough up the cash or have someone else foot the bill, you're going to look pretty bad!"

The other young men joined in the laughter.

"Do you think his account might be frozen? Hahaha!"

In no time at all, they had cornered Zhang Chen with no way out.

Lin Zhiqing bit her lip, desperate to salvage Zhang Chen's dignity, but she was at a loss for words.

Zhang Chen resignedly assured them, "Relax, just make sure you come hungry."

A mischievous glint shone in Monkey Man's eyes.

The waitress quickly worked the PoS machine, and after keying in the amount, her expression turned to one of astonishment!

Yee Qingsong and the rest wore smug looks of disdain.

Lin Zhiqing's heart raced with anxiety.

But then, in the next instant, the waitress beamed her trademark smile. "Sir, your payment has been processed successfully. Please take your bank card."

With that, she handed the bank card back to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen accepted it with a beaming smile.

Yet, everyone else was utterly astounded!

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were wide with shock; she couldn't fathom where Zhang Chen had gotten so much money.

Yee Qingsong and the other young men were equally flabbergasted.

What was going on here?

Monkey Man glanced at Yee Qingsong, bewildered, at a loss for words.

Had Zhang Chen actually managed to pay?

They gulped, struggling to swallow.

It took a while, but Yee Qingsong finally snapped out of it.

"There's no mistake, is there?" he demanded, rising to his feet and barking at the waiter.

The waiter, still smiling, returned and handed the receipt straight to Zhang Chen.

Before Zhang Chen could react, Yee Qingsong grabbed it from him.

The three young men crowded around, inspecting it urgently.

They cross-checked each dish listed against what was on the table.

Everything was correct!

They were completely dumbstruck, their eyes brimming with bewilderment.

Zhang Chen chuckled, "Well, now that I've settled the bill, isn't it time for you to eat?"

At those words, Monkey Man visibly jolted.

He glanced at the spread of food on the table and felt his stomach churn.

After a moment, Monkey Man snorted disdainfully, "I've got other matters to attend to. I'm leaving now!"

He grabbed his coat and headed for the hotel exit.

Today had been a day of humiliation for him!

But he hadn't gotten far when Zhang Chen's teasing voice stopped him in his tracks. "Are you really going to renege on your promise?"

Monkey Man froze, his expression darkening.

Turning around, he caught Yee Qingsong giving him a conspiratorial wink.

Fury surged within Monkey Man, yet considering the Yee family's clout, he had no choice but to play along with Yee Qingsong.

He caught sight of Zhang Chen's amused grin.

Anger flared within him.

Did this nobody think he could mock him?

Monkey Man, seizing an outlet for his rage, retorted icily, "You don't want to let me leave?"

Zhang Chen flashed a wide grin, "You've got to finish all the dishes on this table. A deal's a deal."

Yee Qingsong's tension eased, and a sneer of contempt played at the edge of his lips.

Lin Zhiqing quickly came to her senses and stealthily tugged at Zhang Chen's arm.

The Lin family was no match for them now!

Zhang Chen simply smiled and paid him no mind.

Monkey Man's eyes narrowed in anger. "If I refuse to eat it, what can you possibly do to me?"

His fists were already clenched tight!

He had a bellyful of rage still waiting to be unleashed, and here was Zhang Chen, provoking him further!

Zhang Chen remained serene, smiling as he said, "If you don't eat it, it just proves you're not a man."

"Maybe you should just stop being one."

There was no longer any need for Zhang Chen to remain under the radar.

The more he was talked about, the better for him!

What the Lin family thought was irrelevant to him.

Yet his words left everyone astounded!

Their eyes were wide with incredulity.

Had Zhang Chen really said that?

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were a picture of bewilderment.

Had Zhang Chen lost his mind?

Monkey Man, his face a mask of disbelief, demanded, "What did you say?"

Zhang Chen's smile remained unchanged as he replied, "If you're not going to eat it, then you might as well stop being a man."

His voice was gentle, but his tone was resolute and unyielding.

Monkey Man was dumbfounded.

Moments later, a surge of intense fury shot up from the depths of his being!

Was he actually being threatened by a nobody?

Monkey Man clenched his jaw and hissed, "Are you challenging me?"

His complexion was so dark, it looked as though it might drip with moisture.

For him, this was the ultimate disgrace!

But Zhang Chen quickly shook his head and gestured dismissively, saying with a smile, "I wouldn't dare."

A mischievous grin tugged at his lips. "I can't stand people who break their word. I'm not trying to provoke you."

"I just want to emasculate you."
