all right, time for the REAL villains to show up. <IMG SRC="smilies/evillaugh.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/naughty.gif" border="0">
Meanwhile, two figures were walking into a restaurant. They were an odd pair, as one was so thin and dressed so flashy, while the other was chubby looking with ragged old clothes.
The chubby one eagerly smelled the fragrance of cooking food and quickly ordered several dishes. He sat down at one table and dusted a chair for his companion.
"Mother, what else would you wish to eat?"
His voice was high and piercing as if it belonged to a woman. His mother, the bony woman laden with glittering jewelry, beamed.
"Ah Jing, I can eat anything, you know."
She looked around at the customers with gleaming eyes and mentioned, "not many rich people in this area, still we might get few coins from them."
She noticed her son leering at some female diners and snapped annoyingly.
"Ah Jing! Don't you dare looking at women! Didn't I teach you to keep your eyes away from girls?" A hint of jealousy shone from her beady black eyes. She touched a slight scar on left cheek and sighed.
"If only I'm beautiful, your mother would not have to leave our peaceful home to search for your father."
She shook her fingers bedecked with rings and pointed at her son.
"Until we get the Sea Monster sword and your father, you are not allowed to see any woman but me."
Wong Jing sighed morosely but nodded submissively. "Yes, Mother."
The ordered food soon came, and the conversation temporarily halted. Both mother and son quickly stuffed as much savory in their mouths as if they had been starving for so long. Surprisingly, in contrast to the slim figure, the mother could eat ever faster and more than her son did. When they were done, the mother nodded at her obese son who was blurbing contentedly.
"Now!" She said and leaped to the restaurant owner who was counting money. In one swing of a saber in her hand, she murdered him and snatched his big bag of coins. Then, before anyone could have come out from the shock, the two had disappeared.
