Chapter 370: Fatal Blow
Seeing what Natsu and Gray were carrying, Rhodes couldn't help but imagine several scenarios.
Did they seriously wreck the billiard hall until only two tables were left, just to deal with a few street thugs?
"Welcome back. Thanks for your hard work," Mira greeted Lucy warmly from behind the counter. "Did everything go smoothly this time?"
Lucy gave a tired nod. "How do I put it. The outcome was a little different than I expected, but hey, at least I made enough to cover the rent."
"I get the feeling something interesting happened," Mira said with a smile, pouring Lucy a cold drink.
"Check it out! This is how you're supposed to play billiards!" Natsu's voice rang out from across the hall. "Hyaah!"
Bang! Snap!
The cue ball rocketed off Natsu's stick, crashed into the cluster of colored balls with explosive force, smashed into the bottom corner pocket, then shot out of the table entirely and broke one of the legs of Lucy's stool.
"Wah—!" Lucy shrieked as the stool collapsed under her, sending her tumbling to the floor. She picked up the rogue cue ball and hurled it back at Natsu. "Natsu!!"
"Oh, thanks, Lucy!" Natsu grinned as he caught it midair. "Now I don't have to go pick it up."
"I wasn't helping you!"
