Bab 67: Manipulation? - I'm the best there is.

Johnny was taken aback for a few moments but he still returned to his suspicious self. However, his brief talk with Oscar had already relieved much of his suspicion but a man such as himself wouldn't believe simple words.

I broke the silence, "I can debate you for hours on how I can do what I say I can do but in the end, it's all just words. I think you'd be more convinced once you see my place for yourself. How about this? You can visit us for a short while and if you're not happy with what you saw, you can always come back here."

Johnny stared at me for a few seconds, "What's your situation on food?"

"What about yours? The last time I checked, Mrs. Thelma manages a large store right across the gas station. How come you're adamant about serving us food earlier? Furthermore, I left her a note. Did something happen in between?"

Johnny started to look upset and bitter the moment the words left my mouth. I thought he would reply but he just kept quiet.
