CH 35

Stark very naturally sat down in front of the bar and beckoned Pepper to sit beside him.

He put his bandaged right hand on the bar, and said in an extremely provoking tone, “This uh… Mr. Awen, were you looking for me to apologize? Or do you want me to recommend you to the upper-class society? Let’s take a look at your restaurant.” He said pretentiously and looked at the restaurant, and plucked his lips in disdain, “To be honest, it’s really not that good here!”

Frank looked at Stark admiringly, he liked Stark very much. Because Stark’s way of seeking death looked like his own son.

To Alvin, it didn’t matter that Stark deliberately called his name wrong. It’s always right to have some respect for a future weapons sponsor and the one to take on all the blame, right?

Alvin looked at Stark with a smile and said, “I mainly wanted to resolve the misunderstanding yesterday. If you haven’t eaten yet, you can also try the steak here. Maybe you will like it.”

With an expression of superiority, Stark pointed at Alvin with his left hand, like a loan shark, “Boy, it’s too late to apologize now. I just spent $500,000 yesterday to find a Japanese judo master, I’ll be coming at you soon. I’m going to beat you! Not because your waiter hurt me, but to let you know, if you see Mr. Tony Stark in the future, you have to be respectful.”

Frank looked at Stark worriedly. If Nick was like him in the future, how many people would he have to kill to save his life?

Alvin smiled politely and said, “That’s your choice, but you’re injured today, aren’t you? You can try my steak first.”

Alvin gave the prepared portions to Director George, JJ, and Frank. Director George’s steak was only half the usual size. The little girl Ginny ate a bit too much in the morning, so she was not hungry now. Well, Jessica, it was estimated that he would have to wait until late at night to be able to mention any food!

Stark also mocked Chief George that a man could only eat so much, it really damaged his police image.

Not wanting to pay attention to this badmouthing Stark, Alvin smiled and asked if Pepper would like a steak too? Pepper politely declined, citing weight loss. Look! The girl loved beauty and even God had blessed her!

He chose the largest steak, replaced the olive oil on the iron plate with animal fat, flipped it quickly, trying to lock in the blood and gravy of the steak as much as possible, and cooked it in 2 minutes! The pasta was poured with thick tomato sauce, and topped with a fried egg, sweet, perfect!

When such a sizzling steak was brought to the bar, with Stark’s pickiness, he took a deep breath of the rich aroma of the steak, and had to say: “Man, the steak is fried very well, if you are not a liar, I’ll give you 50 points.”

Alvin was roasted by Stark for so long, and he still behaved like an honest farmer, hoping to use his warm hospitality to redeem the mistakes he had made in the past.

The proud Stark expressed satisfaction with Alvin’s performance, grabbed the knife and fork, and ate the steak in big mouthfuls.

No one said a word, only Pepper looked at Alvin with suspicion. Alvin smiled at her very gentlemanly, tilted his head, and indicated that he didn’t understand her suspicion.

Pepper shook his head suspiciously, indicating that it was okay, but she really didn’t think Alvin was such a good person, she always felt that Stark was going to be unlucky!

When Stark cut the first piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and chewed it, he gave a very enjoyable “Oh” and gave Alvin a sincere thumbs up.

An oversized steak was packed into Stark’s stomach.

Alvin offered him a glass of lemonade intimately so that he could digest it a little. He went to talk to his daughter for a while, letting Ginny and Jessica stay in the shop and play, and Thor and Dom would stay with them.

Alvin waved to everyone: “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s go and see what we caught yesterday. Let’s get Miss Pepper and Mr. Stark to identify them, maybe Mr. Stark, your image of me will change a little bit.”

Stark touched his neatly trimmed mustache and said with disdain: “Then let’s go and see, I can’t wait. Will it be, some interesting animal, or the masterpiece of a Hollywood special effect makeup artist?”

………………

The basement of Frank’s house next door, the newly renovated house was still considered clean. The basement was dimly lit, and there were some suspicious red marks on the floor and walls of the doorway. And it gave off an unpleasant smell. It was easy to think of the scene of murder and dismemberment.

Pepper covered her nose in disgust but didn’t speak.

The cheap-mouthed Stark fanned his left hand in front of his nose and complained to Alvin: “Is this place converted from a septic tank? It smells so bad, I can’t believe you live in such a place. When things are over, you can write me a letter, and I’ll send you a check to let you decorate your house.”

Alvin looked at Stark with sincerity and said, “Mr. Stark, I have to remind you that the contents inside are a bit scary, and most people may not be able to accept it. You have to be prepared.”

“Come on, stop pretending to scare me, man, let me see what you call a vampire,” Stark said impatiently.

Alvin shrugged politely, motioned Frank to open the door, and several people filed into the basement.

In the basement, in the dim light, three black plastic sheets covered three apparently living, humanoid objects.

Because no one spoke, the atmosphere was a bit terrifying. Pepper was hiding behind Stark at the moment, only showing her eyes over Stark’s shoulders and looking at those things.

Stark patted Pepper’s waist with a backhand, and sarcastically said: “The atmosphere is good, this is suitable for horror movies.”

JJ and Frank, who were already impatient, stepped forward, grabbed the plastic sheet, and pulled the plastic away.

Three already seriously wounded, miserable vampires that were tortured last night, were exposed to the lights.

The most unlucky one was the vampire who was hit by an iron gate yesterday. The exploding belly made his intestines and internal organs flow all over the floor. He fell at the door last night and was stepped on by Jessica. This time they were all neatly placed beside its head.

Another vampire whose eyes were knocked out by Alvin was the target of torture last night. At this moment, the muscles on one of his right hands were completely scraped off, and they were neatly placed next to his head.

The last one was a vampire whose arm was chopped off by Frank. This guy was not bad, and he was very energetic. After the plastic sheet was pulled away, he swayed violently, trying to break free from the big rivet that nailed him to the ground. He opened his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs at Alvin and his group, and let out an unpleasant scream.

The terrifying picture impacted the brains of the newly entering three people. Chief George worked as a police officer after all, and his performance was still outstanding.

Miss Pepper, seeing three moving tattered corpses, screamed and directly fainted.

Alvin thoughtfully said to the trembling Stark: “Mr. Stark, I have to remind you, don’t vomit here. The owner of the house is very bad-tempered!”
