Chapitre 177: Chapter 177 - That’s my seat

"Sorry, but that seat is already taken." She answered curtly, looking at the blonde-haired youth. 

"Yes, our friend has just gone to place our orders for tonight!" Cole chimed in, gathering up his courage from Mary's words.

Hearing this, the boy frowned then gave a slight, imperceptible nod towards his bald, muscled henchmen. The man, understanding the request, gave a loud boisterous guffaw, masking his intention as he gave a strong hit on Cole's back in the guise of a 'friendly' pat. 

Cole was almost thrown off the chair under the strong blow, barely able to hold himself straight and not hit the table helplessly.

"Ahahaha! Boy, you sure are funny!" he bellowed amidst his laughter.

Still, while he wore his armor, the single blow from the man gave him pain similar to if he was hit by a powerful blunt object. He coughed in response, spitting up small droplets of blood on the table.
