Chapter 622 A Special Guest
Chapter 622 A Special Guest
With no protest from Gary, the group had ended up on Burnham food street. A row of mainly restaurants and bars that went on for around a mile side to side. It was compact and filled with people as it was one of the more popular places for people to hang out in the evening.
It was currently just about dinner time, so it was filled with people even now, and even the others could understand why. It was one of the nicer areas of Slough, this was, of course, because it was one of the areas that used to be run by Olivia, so it was already making more wealth compared to other areas.
There had only been slight improvements, getting rid of the more seedy places and replacing them, as well as investing in new equipment for the more run down restaurants.
"Wow, this place is busier than I thought it would be?" Rachel said.
"Yeah… I agree." Gary replied.
What he didn't realise was, due to the new factory and other developments, there were a lot more people in Slough than there usually would have been, causing quite the rush on the street.
"Hey… it's those guys again." Tyson pointed out.
He was facing his head towards the people dressed in black and gold. It wasn't the same ones they had met at the bakery, but they noticed that the street was filled with them. They were standing in between the restaurants as if they were guarding the place.
"It's most likely that the gang is in control of this food street as well." The guard satted. "But I guess we're in luck, the locals don't seem to be afraid, so as long as we're not trying to get involved in their business, we should be fine."
What the guard was more surprised about was how much a single gang dominated a tier-3 town. He had been to a few himself and hardly would there be just a single big gang. There would be those that stood out, or controlled the majority of the town or city, but in this case, the way it was being run was similar to Tier-1 cities. Where the whole place was owned by a single king.
While walking down the street, there were a lot of options for them to choose from. They were spoiled and struggling to decide, but as they got closer towards the end Gary was getting more nervous, as they were getting closer to where she would be.
"Why don't we just pick this restaurant… the Wild Boar." Gary said. "Otherwise we might not be able to get a seat."
Elanor thought Gary was right, by the look of things, it was so busy that they might be waiting a while.
The Wild Boar restaurant was themed somewhat like a jungle with leaves on the walls, and also a large painting of boars as well. There were a few tusks that were out on the table and the chairs were similarly themed as well.
Then, there was also a stage that had singing and was playing live music to top it off. It was clear why the place was popular.
It looked like the restaurant had quite a bit of fun decorating the place. However, as they had expected it was relatively busy. In the reception area there were already what looked like four groups waiting to be seated, all of them around four or five people.
And there was also a large group of around ten just in front of them that looked like they were asking if there were any seats. Since they were quite a big group themselves, with the camera crew, they thought it would be a while until they sat down.
"I'm sorry sir, but it looks like it's going to be at least a 30 minute wait for a group your size." The female waitress standing at the counter said. "As you can see we are quite busy today.
The man at front was wearing a fancy suit and had spiked blonde hair.
"Come on, is that really the best you can do? I can pay double, or triple if you want. Heck I'll even pay for that table's meal if they will get up and help us get our seats."
The waitress pulled a difficult smile, it was clear the man was being difficult.
"I'm sorry sir, but we wish that everyone can have an enjoyable experience and come back to this establishment over and over again, so I'm afraid we can't make exceptions."
Gary and his group stood behind the blonde man's group so they could overhear everything, and as expected it would be quite a wait, but since it was their fault, and it looked like everywhere on Burnham food street would be the same, they didn't mind.
In the end, the blonde man kissed his teeth in defeat and sat down in the waiting area where they served a few snacks for those waiting to nibble on and even had some board games.
"Hi there."Elanor smiled. "Unfortunately we didn't make a booking and we have quite a large group with us. We don't mind if you have to split us up into different tables."
The woman looked at the tablet in front of her before pulling a face that didn't say she had good news.
"Unfortunately, the best we can do is put you on two tables that will be free in around 45 minutes, is that okay?" The waitress asked.
Since there was no choice and there were at least snacks they could eat in the meantime, Elanor gave a smile and said it was fine.
The group was ready to sit in the reception area and wait with the others, but that's when something strange occurred. One of those in black and gold clothing that were in the restaurant had come over to the woman working the front desk.
He whispered something in her ear, and the woman had changed her tune.
"I'm sorry, Gary is it?" the waitress asked, looking at the green haired teenager. "We actually have a table that is prepared for you that you can all sit on. Please follow me."
The group were surprised, they were happy to wait, but for some reason now they suddenly had a seat, and they had mentioned Gary's name as well.
"Wait a second you dumb b*tch!" The blonde haired man shouted from earlier. "You told me a second ago, that there were no more seats, that we would have to wait. We came in before them and our group is just as large as theirs, so why the hell are they going ahead of us?"
Before the man could cause any trouble, the man who was wearing black and gold, walked ahead and stood in front of the blonde man making a fist.
"We can easily talk about this outside if you wish."
While walking to their seat, Clem still couldn't help but glance at Gary. Wherever they went in this town, as long as they were by his side, everyone was treating their group differently. It was happening too often to be a coincidence.
