Face-Slapping System-Chapter 154 Situation Resolved ’Peacefully’

"What's going on in here?"

Gustav, the assistant manager, arrived to respond to the whole situation after the cashier called him over earlier.

"Who was it that wanted to talk to me?"

He looked at Karen, as if waiting for her to explain the situation.

In fact, Gustav was actually aware of the whole situation already. He was just waiting for Karen to explain herself.

On the other hand, the crowd cheered the moment they saw Gustav appear.

"She's causing trouble, that's what is going on here!" One of them stated behind the other's back.

"Ma'am, Is that true?" Gustav looked at Karen with raised eyebrows.

Karen was just about to reply in her usual tone when she recalled the strange rule of this place. Thinking that the assistant manager might ban her from coming again here for life, Karen shivered as she adjusted her tone.

"N-no it's not. It's like this. I just wanted to say how delicious the food here is. And from the looks of it, not only is the food here delicious, even their employees have great personalities, and they even have handsome and pretty faces." She stated in a clear flattering voice.

Gustav noticed her flattery but did not mind it the least. He nodded his head and smiled as if he did not notice her flattery, "Is that so? Well, thank you for your kind words, ma'am."

Before Karen could spout another generic flattery again, Gustav decided to cut her off and said, "However, I must say that we are delaying the crowd already ma'am. What would you like to order? I'll prepare it for you myself."

Hearing that, Karen suddenly felt pressured weighing down her shoulders. If it was just the crowd earlier, she would surely just ignore it and continue to hope that she would get a free sparkling fried chicken.

However, the man in front of her was the assistant manager who has the power to ban her from entering the store. If she did not order anything now, he might think that she was deliberately trying to create a ruckus.

Afraid of such a scenario from happening, and as the pressure on her shoulder intensifies, Karen immediately pulls the remaining pennies on her pocket. After counting it, she heaves a sigh of relief after realizing that it was above 80 Global Pennies.

Karen immediately looked at Gustav and said, "One order of Set 1 Sparklin Chicken, please!"

"Alright ma'am, just wait for a few minutes."

Gustav smiled in return, took her 80 Global Pennies, and handed it to the cashier before he went back to the kitchen.

The cashier handed her a receipt as well as a number tent.

Karen finally stepped aside and searched for another table to sit on.

Meanwhile, Karlo, who saw the whole situation unfold could not help but nod his head in approval upon seeing how the situation was resolved easily by the assistant manager.

It seems that not only was the product here top tier, even their managers and employees and ways of handling their customers were top tier as well.

His opinion regarding the Sparkling Buds was renewed earlier. And seeing them handle the situation calmly even made his opinion become even more favorable. At this point, Karlo has already promised to dine here every time and that he must bring his family and friends over and brag to them that he was one of the first 100 people who managed to taste the fried chicken of heaven.

And speaking of the manager, Karlo could not help but think that his voice was a little similar to the vulgar voice earlier.

He thought for a moment and decided to shake his head to get rid of such distracting thoughts. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

So, what if they are related and a little similar? I'm here to eat, not to gossip. Let nature take its course.

And after two minutes of waiting, it was finally Karlo's turn to order again. This time, he did not order the Set 1, but instead the Set 2 that cost 1.10 Global Dollars. The Set 2 includes two pieces of sparkling chicken, 1 cup of rice and 1 soda.

For Karlo, adding 40 Global Pennies for two pieces of sparkling chicken was more than worth it. After all, with that kind of taste, he would not even complain if it was sold for 2 Global Dollars per piece.

For him, the fried chicken of heaven- sparkling fried chicken was just that heavenly.

...

Roland looked at the whole scene unfold earlier with great interest.

He looked at the system screen and read the new face-slapping points he earned from face-slapping Karlo earlier.

Ding!

[You have successfully face-slapped a person: +10 Fs Points]

Perhaps because everyone was busy gobbling on their food, no one noticed Karlo embarrassing himself with his own actions.

When Roland walked away earlier, he was just about to get out of the restaurant when he noticed the commotion caused by Karen, from start to finish.

Roland only observes from afar and does not plan on interfering deliberately. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

With his powerful hearing, Roland was able to hear everything clearly even from afar. He even heard how Gustav incited Karen's reaction by speaking ill of her openly as he hid in the crowd.

Hearing Gustav's tactics only made Roland chuckle. Karen was truly being unreasonable earlier. If it was Roland, he might have immediately banned her from entering the restaurant already.

The way Gustav resolved the situation was very creative, although at the same time, it was also very offensive to the target party. However, Roland doesn't mind it one bit as he thought that Karen deserved it.

In fact, she was actually very lucky as Gustav did not let the matter escalate even further, else, others might also chime in with their insults and add salt to her injuries.

Seeing the Sparkling Buds had become almost full all of a sudden, Roland smiled in satisfaction as he thought that everything was finally going into place.

Now, he only needs to deal with the razor guy as well as the real mastermind behind the sabotage earlier. Roland already had some preliminary ideas of who was the mastermind of the whole situation, but he did not try and point fingers yet.
