Rise of The Outcast

CHAPTER FIVE

"Alright, champ, get eating." Owen smirked, his finger pointing towards the food that was scattered around on the floor.

Bill clenched his fists in anger as he regretted his decision instantly. If only he knew better, he would have just left the restaurant without making a scene.

But there was no going back now..he already made the decision and all eyes was now fixated on him, even his friends and girlfriend he invited over were watching, but they made sure to stand few centimeters away from Bill so they won't get dragged along his humiliation.

Bill stood there with his head bowed down in shame..what he wished for right now was for the ground to open up and swallow him.

"Why is this guy taking so long?"

"He was the one who made the deal and now he's trying to back down!"

"Eat the damn food already!"

The crowd began to attack Bill from different angles with hateful words after he stood there like a statue for several minutes.

"What's the matter, bro? Weren't you the one that said...you would eat and lick it if i succeed?" Owen spoke as he walked towards Bill and stepped on the food.

'Huh?' A puzzled expression stretched across Owen's face as he heard what sounded like someone was crying, and the sound was coming directly from where Bill stood with his head bowed down.

Owen shifted his gaze to the floor and could see tears dropping on the floor.

"Wait...are you crying?" Owen placed his finger below Bill's jaw and lifted his head up to see his eyes red and filled with tears.

Catching a glimpse of Bill's face, Owen's heart twitched a bit and he realized he took things too far.

Owen had no idea who Bill was before now so he didn't have any special hatred towards him like he does with the Steeles. Even if Bill did abuse him and also harrassed Mia, he didn't see a reason to go too far.

Yes, Owen knew he shouldn't feel anything as he punished Bill since Bill was acting like an asshole few minutes ago and if Owen hadn't made the transaction successfully he would be the one eating it and Bill wouldn't have mercy. But just because Bill was this way doesn't mean he has to also act that way.

If he was to behave exactly as Bill, then there's no difference between the both of them.

"Is the motherfucker crying?" A spectator voiced out from where he stood with a look of disappointment.

"Stupid cry baby..maybe you should go crying to your dad after you eat from the floor like a dog!" Another guy backed up the first.

"I expected more from him, but he seems he's more stupid than we thought!"

Once again, the customers who curently watched and made live video of the ongoing situation began to rain abuses on Bill after realizing he was actually crying.

Who does that?

Bill grabbed unto Owen's arm and began to plead.

"Please, have mercy. I wi..."

Owen then set his arm free from Bill's grip and began to walk away without sparing him a glance.

"Get out of here before i change my mind." Saying those words, Owen exited the place and headed straight to the changing room.

Bill stood there dazed by Owen's words and actions before turning around and dashed out of the restaurant to avoid further humiliation.

***

Owen went straight to the changing room and got dressed in his white waiter attire and a long white cap. Since his in-laws already kicked him out of the house, he thought it would be best to work a night shift, and in the morning he would use his free time to go rent an apartment.

He already had the money to buy any mansion he wish to buy, but Owen knew it's better if he lie low for now and still live like he used to.

If a poor man like him suddenly starts spending lavishly, it would only raise suspicions and people might start suspecting that his father was still alive.

Even if Owen was mad at his father for keeping the truth of his well being from him for so long, he couldn't afford him getting exposed.

Albert did mentioned something about someone out to kill Gilbert Sinclair, so the best thing to do now was to lie low and avoid any means of suspicion.

Even if he did spent hundreds of dollars her tonight inftront of everyone, he could always lie his way out. Afterall, he was the Son in-law of the Steele's family, he can easily make them believe that the money was given to him by his in-laws.

After getting dressed in his uniform, Owen turned around to leave but saw Mia standing behind him with a questioning look.
