"Mr. Quaker, I mean no insult, but aren't you an adult? Can't you decide for yourself?" Zangi simply snorted. "Do you think your friends are really doing this for your sake? What a laugh! You can doubt us, but surely you won't doubt your own family? Just call your grandfather, and everything will be clear!" In fact, Zangi had already smelled a rat-Mr. Quaker did not mean to chere and cause trouble in the first place. He was a greedy pig, but he was not that heinous.

Zangi was certainly not worried when he had just cause and even whipped out his phone too.
"Go on, do it!" he snapped coolly. "Hell, I'll do it if you won't! Fortunately for me, I saved your grandpa's number during one of his previous visits, so let him tell you how things really work here!" Seeing that, Mr. Quaker's friends started panicking—if Zangi really called Mr. Quaker's grandfather, their reputation would go down the drain! Hence, they traded a knowing glance as they cup with a plan on the spot.
One of them sneaked behind Zangi and pushed him.
Zangi was caught off guard—he was no martial artist like Frank, and if anything, he was frail.
And since he had gone a night without sleep and did not have breakfast earlier, he was already light-headed.

Mr. Quaker was going to catch him in reflex, but one of his friends yelled, "You prick! Trying a sneak attack because you can't win an argument?! You're really making light of us, huh?!" As soon as the man finished, everyone was on top of Zangi, clobbering him! While the apothecary owner did not like what Zangi did, he was still his employee, and he quickly tried to stop the fight. However, not only did he fail to have an effect, but things escalated when he inadvertently brushed against Mr. Quaker's face. Half an hour later, Mr. Quaker and his friends stormed off, leaving the apothecary in pieces.
The apothecary owner's clothes were in pieces, and his greasy, neatly combed hair was caked in dirt and disheveled. With his swollen and battered face, he was the picture of misery.
Still, Zangi was still worse off-those thugs really did not hold back, clobbering him unconscious! Seeing his employees finally poking their heads out, the apothecary owner sighed in exasperation. "Quit gawking. Call the ambulance!" He was still seething from what Zangi did, but the kid stepped up when he had to. In fact, he shielded the apothecary owner beneath himself, so that their punches only landed on him.

"It's sly of you to go behind my back, but you're not breaking any laws, and you had just cause n the end, Mr. Quaker and his gang are to be blamed, so don't worry about it."

The apothecary owner chuckled. "A man takes responsibility for his actions and never regrets them." Zangi nodded. "Don't worry-I'll cover your losses." "Cover? How?" The apothecary owner snorted. "Forget it. Someone else will be made to pay, and it's not you. Just remember- don't do this ever again!" Zangi was left bemused.
Don't do this ever again? Did that mean... he was not fired?
