Suddenly, everyone started talking about the pressure and difficulties faced by young people today instead of the murder case.

"In my opinion, these businessmen nowadays have no conscience. Take our local company, Imbe Group, for example. They make so much money. They should pay their employees better wages!" Byron and Athena suddenly found themselves becoming the topic.

"Is your child working at Imbe Group? The money they give at Imbe Group is quite a lot. My son works in the research and development department there as a junior developer. He doesn't have much status, but with the bonuses and allowances throughout the year, he makes around 400 thousand, which is not bad!"

"What's 400 thousand? Haven't you seen the news? The president's son, who is just a few years old, is called a prodigy engineer. He probably hasn't even stopped drinking milk yet. It's just a fancy title. I heard he is earning several tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of wages per year! Your son's 400 thousand is nothing compared to him!"

"Oh, forget it. You're just jealous of the wealthy!"

The two old men couldn't agree and immediately split into two tables, each taking their own dishes to eat at separate tables.

Athena wasn't angry at all.

There were too few geniuses in this world.

Not everyone could accept the existence of geniuses.

She even found the argument between the old men quite interesting.

"Let's discuss it later and improve the welfare benefits for our employees," Athena whispered.

At first, Byron felt a bit uncomfortable sitting there.

But seeing Athena enjoying listening to the old folks gossiping, he gradually relaxed.

"Alright."

Soon enough, the local topics in the restaurant smoothly switched to several others.

However, in the end, they returned to the initial topic Athena and Byron had heard when they sat down.

"Let's be honest, since something happened at the park, let's all keep an eye on our children and avoid letting them run wild in the park recently," a middle-aged woman said seriously, "If anything happens to our children because of some lunatic or something, they won't take responsibility. We would just have to accept our misfortune!"

"Yes, this is indeed very serious!"

"Afterward, I will pick up my grandchild from school and talk to her on the way!"

Athena went to the cashier to pay the bill.

The boss was a kind woman in her fifties or sixties.

"Is it your first time here?"

"Yes." Athena nodded gently.

"Did the food suit your taste? Did you eat enough? If not, we can offer you another meal for free," the boss said.

"It was very appetizing," Athena replied and whispered to the boss, "My husband is known for being a picky eater, but he ate a lot today." The boss glanced at Byron.

Then she smiled at Athena, "Both you and your husband are attractive. If you have children in the future, they will surely be adorable!" Athena smiled and paid the bill.

The boss added, "Are you here for sightseeing? If you go down the road across the street, there is a park over there. Be careful if you plan to go. There have been some incidents recently, and it's not very safe."

"You mean the incident the old folks were talking about earlier?" Athena asked.

"Yes, in broad daylight, the janitor went to clean the men's toilet, and ah, she saw blood all over the place. It was so scary!"

Athena nodded.

When she and Byron left the restaurant, Athena mentioned,

"Is the boy living nearby? If he often comes over here, you should also warn him not to come recently," Athena said, while holding Byron's arm.

Byron nodded. "He should be staying in his hometown recently."

After the two walked a distance away, the boss took her gaze back. "He's so handsome, but such a pity he's a cripple!"

Just then, a customer came to pay the bill. "Cripple? Another cripple?"

"What do you mean by 'another'? Why are there so many cripples?" the boss asked, puzzled.
