The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the angrier he got, until he grabbed Grete by the throat.
"Aaaah!!! I thought I could finally treat myself to a proper feast now that I had some money! Freeloading was bad enough, but you didn't even fucking leave me any! I'll strangle you!!! I don't care! Pay me back!!"
