Skyler scoffed. He darted into the crowd, throwing punches left and right. Within a few minutes, all the assailants had collapsed to the ground crying out in pain.
The man was at a loss for words, staring at Skyler in a daze.
Skyler was already making his way towards the man. "What the f*ck is wrong with you, man? Can't you mind your own business at a cafe? I'll be damned if | don't beat the shit out of people like you." The man clearly panicked after seeing what Skyler had done and turned to run right away while shouting, "Just you wait! More people will be coming!" Skyler was about to go after him when Wilbur called out for him to cback. "Dude, are you seriously just letting him leave like that?" Skyler asked.

Just then, the cafe owner stared at Skyler in disbelief. Who the hell was this man, beating up over twenty people on his own? "Don't be too shocked, sir. | can take on a hundred of them at once, you know," Skyler boasted.
Wilbur shook his head while chuckling. He asked for a few more plates of toast from the cafe owner, whose attitude had suddenly changed.
"Please take your time! I'm afraid Ed Young isn't going to back down just like that," the cafe owner said.
It was only then that Wilbur and Skyler knew of the man's name. Wilbur said, "It's fine. | told you I'd fix this before | left, and I'm staying put until then." "That's great!" The cafe owner heaved a sigh of relief.
The two men continued eating for a little over ten minutes. Then, two luxury cars pulled up outside the cafe. A bald, muscled man emerged with a few others, along with Ed. After that, the group made their way toward the cafe.
The smile on the cafe owner's face vanished, and he turned to Wilbur and Skyler. "Oh no! Sir Zemek's here. | can't believe Ed Young was able to get him to come! We're going to be in deep trouble now." "Sir Zemek? Who's that, is he really that scary?" The cafe owner sighed. "That's the top dog of the underground circle in Lincoln City, Howard Zemek. Everyone calls him Sir Zemek.
He's been running Lincoln City for years. He's ruthless." "Well, he's going to pay for that ruthlessness," Wilbur said calmly.

The cafe owner was about to say more when Howard and his men entered the cafe, walking up to Wilbur and Skyler.
Howard rubbed his head with a chuckle. "You've beaten my men up, and you're still in the mood to eat?" "Oh, my appetite's only gotten better because of that. It really worked up an appetite in me, you know," Skyler said with a grin.
Howard's expression darkened. "How dare you touch my men. You're going to die." "lI don't know about that. Maybe someone else might end up dead instead," Skyler retorted at once.
Howard was triggered. He planned to stay out of this, but he owed Ed a favor. Howard's plan was just to show his face and give these people a warning so they would apologize, only for them to be so cocky and show him blatant disrespect.
"How dare you! You're going to regret saying that. Get him, boys!" Howard shouted, and his men walked towards Skyler.
However, Wilbur interjected, "Hang on." Howard asked coldly. "Chickening out now? I'm afraid it's too late for that."
