Tugging at his tattered clothes, he hastily shouted at the entrance, "Hey! You two rich ladies in front, I can't get in! They said I can't enter if I'm not dressed properly!"
"Sir, this is a public place, please do not make a scene, so as not to disturb others," the waiter said in a friendly manner as he approached Barrett Walker, the serving attitude was extraordinary. Of course, those who could enter and exit the Emperor's Court were people of high status, all focusing on their reputation. However, Barrett Walker clearly had no sense of this, only responding indifferently. After the waiter left, he continued to make a scene.
"Sir, if you continue like this, this restaurant will take action," the waiter finally got angry and said seriously.
"Heh! Can't get in, can you?" Saint-Harley, accompanied by a group of friends, laughed heartily at Barrett Walker causing a commotion at the entrance.
"Get lost! What's it to you?" Barrett Walker said irritably, then took off his clothes and threw them on the ground. Looking at the onlookers at the entrance, he said to the waiter, "Am I presentable now? You better not tell me I'm not dressed properly. Hmph! I'll make sure your manager has to speak to me."
"Sir, you're acting like a rogue," the waiter quickly stopped Barrett Walker, this person was simply asking for trouble!
"Let's go in, and let him embarrass himself out here!" Saint-Harley seemed to completely ignore Laurie Brown and Monica, walking past them with a calm expression. However, in that split second, the sharpness in his eyes was clearly caught by the two women.
"Alright, stop messing around," Laurie Brown said to Barrett Walker, knowing what he was up to. She then told the waiter, "Let him in!"
"Miss, the Emperor's Court has its own rules, no one is allowed to disrupt them," the waiter said respectfully to Laurie Brown, completely ignoring her.
Barrett Walker, bare-chested, looked like a skeleton. When he heard the waiter's words, he burst into laughter, feeling deliberately teased. Laurie Brown looked at Barrett Walker's triumphant expression and couldn't help but wonder how he could be so shameless. Glancing at Monica, who made an expression of not knowing, Laurie Brown shrugged and said to the waiter, "Can't you find him some clothes? That wouldn't break the rules, would it? If everyone served like you, the Emperor's could just close its doors. I will definitely complain about you!"
"Miss, these are your own rules, have you forgotten?" the waiter continued calmly.
"Ha! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist coming here. It turns out you really are a rich lady! You have no home field advantage here! Darling!" Barrett Walker, dressed in a waiter's white suit, was no different from the other staff walking around.
"Waiter, over here! We've been waiting so long, why haven't we been served yet? At least bring us some drinks!" Barrett Walker looked at the old man with a young lady by his side, getting intimate under the table, and immediately spoke angrily.
"What kind of manners is that?" the old man looked at Barrett Walker's displeased expression and said harshly. However, when he saw the two stunning beauties standing next to Barrett Walker, he immediately lost interest in the young lady by his side, stood up with a righteous look, and walked towards Barrett Walker. Then, in a gentlemanly manner, he said, "Sir, this is a public place, please behave appropriately."

Barrett Walker looked at the old man's wolf-like gaze towards the two women and became even more disgusted. He pushed the old man away, almost knocking him over. He quickly grabbed him and said, "Be careful, these days there are a lot of people looking to take advantage of others. If you have any accidents, your daughter will come after me, so stand properly." Barrett Walker pinched a pressure point on the man's shoulder, causing him to feel some discomfort.
"Ouch!" The old man cried out in pain, unable to say a word due to the numbness in his arms. He was sweating profusely, feeling like he wanted to kill someone.
"Ouch! Sit down quickly, you're sweating so much." Barrett Walker quickly helped the old man to his seat and looked at the young lady, who was only in her twenties, dressed in extravagant attire. The old man was at least in his seventies. Barrett Walker exclaimed, "Oh! My mistake! She's not his daughter, she's his granddaughter! Come here, dear granddaughter, take care of your grandpa."
Even though she was a graduate of an acting school, the young lady couldn't hide her embarrassment at that moment. But then she toughened up, thinking that chastity is worth nothing these days. She supported her grandpa, giving Barrett Walker an angry look.
"Ah, women these days!" Barrett Walker sat down, looking at the two women's strange expressions, and adjusted his hair, saying, "Am I handsome again?"
Monica could hardly recognize Barrett Walker. Since his mother's death, he had never spoken so much in front of so many people. The only time she saw him lively was in front of acquaintances. She couldn't understand Barrett Walker now, wondering if he was better now or before.
Barrett Walker ate his meal and felt like it tasted like horse urine and chicken poop. It was his first time eating such authentic Western food. But seeing the two women enjoying their meal, he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere. Looking at the bloody steak on their plates, Barrett Walker thought of the days when he had to eat wild boar meat in the border area, making him feel nauseous. He turned his head and saw Julia sitting at a table, wearing oversized sunglasses, and someone sitting across from her, constantly talking to her.
Barrett Walker saw Julia with a look of difficulty on her face, absentmindedly stirring her plate with a fork. Seeing her hesitant expression, Barrett Walker was puzzled. Despite being very hungry and needing a lot of nutrients to recover, he had no appetite for this Western food. He immediately said to the two women, "I have something urgent to attend to, I'll be right back!"
"Brother, I'll help you!" Barrett Walker, wearing a waiter's uniform, suddenly took a plate from a guard's hand and patted the guard on the shoulder, saying to him.
"I've never seen you before," the guard said, puzzled, seeing Barrett Walker dressed like him.
"I'm new here, I'm new here. You go do something else! Oh, right, the kitchen's head chef is short-handed, you should go check it out!" Barrett Walker said, then walked to Julia with the plate in his hand. As he got closer, he realized it wasn't anyone else, it was David Green! Barrett Walker opened the lid of the plate, revealing a small steak, and was almost sickened by the sight of the bloody mess.
"We didn't order this! Besides, there's only one dish," David Green was discussing important matters with Julia and was irritated by the interruption. But thinking about the Emperor's Court, he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"I'm not going back to the Green family, and I won't agree to your plan to capture Barrett Walker! So don't try to arrange anything at tonight's movie premiere. Otherwise, you'll know the consequences," Julia suddenly put down her knife and fork, as if she had made a big decision.
"Tama, you shouldn't make things worse. He's already a public enemy of the entire federation. You're standing on the same side as him, and you won't be able to handle all the consequences," David Green said, very displeased.
"Well done, my wife, I support you!" Barrett Walker's heart was filled with joy. A public enemy of the federation? So what? Once I'm in the War God Academy, what can you do to me?
