Chapter 220: You’re Right About Everything
John overheard Abigail and Leon’s conversation, but he didn’t chime in. Instead, he quietly kept working, slicing through the pig and cow before him.
Leon didn’t press further either. After all, he didn’t know John well, and whether the man had once been an adventurer wasn’t his concern.
Leon couldn’t say for sure how strong John was, but as a butcher, the man was unquestionably skilled.
In less than five minutes, John had broken down half a pig and half a cow into neatly portioned cuts and bones, packing the meat into bags as he went.
“Do you want the bones?” John asked, gesturing to the pile of pork and beef bones left on the table.
“No.”
Leon liked ribs well enough, but John’s deboning skills were so clean that there wasn’t a scrap of meat or even a shred of tendon left on them. Faced with such bare bones, Leon had no desire to take them home.
John nodded at his answer, then pulled a hundred-dollar bill from the cash Leon had just paid and handed it back to him.
“The bones don’t count toward your bill.”
