NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 64: Order Restored
Instantly, the area around the stall fell into silence.
Even Kim Haru was startled by the man's booming voice.
He glanced at the man and immediately understood why his shout had such an effect.
The man's appearance—both his physique and his rough features—made him look like one of those enforcers you'd see in crime movies, the type who worked for mobsters. A person like this, as long as they remain calm, might not draw attention. But the moment they lost their temper, anyone nearby would be afraid.
But the man wasn't done yet. He strode forward in two large steps, standing directly in front of those who had been pushing and shoving, scaring them so badly that they started trembling.
The man, with a menacing glare, pointed at them and growled, "If any of you try cutting the queue again, you can get lost and go to the back of the line! Now, line up! Whoever was here first stays in front. You have until I count to three to sort yourselves out. If you haven't figured it out by then…"
The man hadn't even finished speaking when the two scrawny men, who had just been pulling at each other's collars and stepping on each other's feet, suddenly froze. There was no need to count to three—immediately, one stood in front of the other, perfectly forming a straight line, as if they were ready to join a military training lineup.
Satisfied, the man didn't bother looking at them anymore.
"All of you, get in line, or get lost!" he barked at the rest.
In no time, the area in front of Kim Haru's stall cleared up, leaving behind a single, orderly line. Just moments ago, the stall had been packed so tightly that it seemed impenetrable.
Kim Haru's eyes brightened slightly.
He thought to himself: This guy is quite something,
He cast another glance at the man.
Sensing the attention, the once fierce and intimidating man instantly broke into a goofy grin as he looked at Kim Haru.
"Anything else you need me to do, boss? Is the line too long? I can get rid of some people if it's bothering you!"
"Haha, also, could you, uh, maybe save me just a bit more of those potatoes? Even just one little one would be fine. My wife loves potatoes the most."
In this look, his terrifying enforcer aura was suddenly gone. In the blink of an eye, the man had transformed from a fierce German Shepherd into a Husky.
Kim Haru couldn't help but chuckle.
He nodded and agreed to the man's request.
The man was delighted to the point of almost jumping up. He redoubled his efforts in keeping the crowd in check and working even harder to maintain order.
Kim Haru looked at the seemingly endless line of people snaking around, winding so far that he couldn't even tell where it ended.
It's likely it was stretching beyond the side streets. Seeing this, he decided to restock his stall and fill it up again to the brim.
