Gao Yang had hoped to sit down for a good talk during dinner, but once he found a restaurant, he realized the conversation couldn't even start.
Uriyangko and Ivan devoured their black bread and borscht as if reborn from starving ghosts, making an earth-shattering scene.
It wasn't just Uriyangko and Ivan; even the six people they brought along were eating ferociously, crazily, eating for their lives.
Gao Yang recalled being trapped in Aleppo Prison for over a month, but even upon release, he didn't eat like that.
They devoured loaf after loaf of black bread and bowls upon bowls of borscht, asking for nothing else, leaving the restaurant manager stunned, as Uriyangko and his group of eight ate for thirty people.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Uriyangko raised his head, pointed at his own face, and said quietly, "Look at my face; I've lost at least twenty-five kilograms, starved!"
