Chapter 1537 Escaped When Tony, the restaurant owner, spoke, the group of people didn't react. Instead, they stared wide-eyed in shock, looking fearfully behind him.
"Didn't you hear me? Call the cops!" Tony yelled, fumbling with his phone. "You all are useless. I have to do everything myself, even calling the police." Before he could finish his sentence, a slender hand snatched his phone away, and a cold voice cfrom behind him, "Just dial 911." "I know," Tony replied, turning around, only to be stunned.
The short supply clerk stood behind him, holding his phone, and had already dialed the emergency number.

Tony's face turned pale, and he trembled, unable to utter a single word.
"Why aren't you talking? Didn't you want to call the police?" The supply clerk raised an eyebrow. "Speak up." "No need," Tony stammered, snatching the phone back in a panic. He muttered, "Wrong number," and quickly hung up.
"If there's trouble, call the police. Don't be afraid," the supply clerk patted his shoulder encouragingly. "I'm just here to grab something. Please move aside." Tony hurriedly stepped aside, and the supply clerk walked over to the cutting board, picking up a large, chipped kitchen knife. "This is mine. I'm taking it." "Okay," Tony nodded repeatedly.
The short supply clerk slung the knife over his shoulder and strode away.
The group behind him was so terrified they didn't dare make a sound.
It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared from sight that they snapped out of it and crowded around Tony, panicking. "Tony, what do we do? What do we do?" "If we call the police, will he kill us all?" "Yeah, the cops will take tto get here. By then, he might have killed us all." Lost in the world of this story?

How strange.
Sadie frowned and looked at Annika. "Did Jessica and Aurora scare them yesterday?" Annika turned to look at Jessica and Aurora.
"Ms. James, we were polite," Jessica quickly explained, adding, "But that supply clerk was super aggressive, like he was ready to explode." Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now!
"Exactly," Aurora said, feeling wronged. "The restaurant owner was very apologetic, but that supply clerk, despite being small, had a big temper. The owner yelled at him, and he pinned the owner to the cutting board. If that knife hadn't been steady, it might have cdown."
"Yeah, the restaurant owner was shaking so much, he was about to wet his pants." Sadie couldn't help but laugh at their description. Was it really that tic?" "Absolutely," Jessica and Aurora continued detailing the incident. "The supply clerk was shorter than me, but somehow, they seemed really intimidating." "Alright," Sadie interrupted. "As long as you didn't disrespect anyone, it's fine. Go get the car ready. I'm heading to the office." "Yes, Ms. James!" Jessica and Aurora went to prepare the car, and Arya went to handle other tasks.
Annika casually remarked, "Maybe the restaurant owner was so scared of offending us that he decided to close the restaurant."
"I doubt it. Jessica and Aurora said they were polite," Sadie said, sipping her tea. But that perite Supply clerk was certainly brave and young. Wait a minute!"
