John showed no particular reaction to the bustling around him; instead, he quietly ordered several meals and waited patiently.
He could sense the atmosphere growing more lively, with many people glancing his way, seemingly debating whether they might find some value in approaching them, or perhaps hesitating to strike up a conversation.
Silver Tear was highly alert and sensitive to these nuances, but John and Dark Fox seemed much more composed, as if they were oblivious to any malice from others.
Yet, they were internally calculating when someone would finally give in and come over to talk.
Just as John was mulling this over, a commotion at the door caught his attention.
A middle-aged man and an extremely corpulent man who resembled a mountain of flesh entered the restaurant.
The rotund man wore a brilliant smile, reminiscent of a jovial Maitreya Buddha.
