Wendy wore an unpleasant expression. This feeling was like when one was in a good mood and when it was about time to enjoy a meal, a fly kept lingering around them, making all sorts of disturbing noises from beside.
Jasper glanced at Mark and said calmly, “I’m not used to having my meals with someone pacing back and forth at a corner.”
A smile remained on Mark’s face, but the evil chills within his gaze were getting more intense.
Placing one of his hands on Jasper’s chair, Mark then leaned forward and whispered into Jasper’s ear, “I love seeing this arrogant side of you, because the more arrogant you are right now, the more miserable you’ll be later on.
“I don’t care what kind of person you are. In Brac County, regardless of your capability, it’s best you behave appropriately. Or else, your family won’t have a place to mourn your death once I’m done with you!”
As Mark was talking, he let out a burst of devilish laughter and immediately pulled a chair from the table beside. He then called the waiter over to order.
The man beside him also followed to take a seat. He went around Jasper with ill intention and said, “Young Master Zion, aren’t you going to make fun of him straight away?”
Another man joined in and giggled, saying, “That’s right, Young Master Zion. Just let us siblings torture him to death. That lady is f*cking gorgeous. Young Master Zion, you should personally go comfort that beauty. Isn’t this the perfect solution?”
Mark sneered, “What do you guys know about? It’s only meaningful if you slowly torture a person like that.”
“One glance and it’s obvious he’s not from here. I’m guessing this guy has some cash on him and brought this beauty over here for a meal to put on an act. If I want to make this beauty admire me, I have to first let her know that in Brac County, there’s no one richer than me nor more powerful than me.
“Just look at the day and age! We don’t kill and murder people anymore. That’s the lowliest method.” Mark deliberately raised his voice so that Jasper and Wendy could hear him crystal clear.
“He wants to use fortune and authority to make you admire him,” said Jasper to Wendy with a smile.
Wendy glared at Jasper, and for the first time, she gave him a warning glance. “Stop making me feel disgusted.”
At that moment, Mark had already summoned the waiter.
“High-quality foie gras, abalone vegetable dish, then according to the headcount, I want codfish from the deep ocean, tuna, and salmon. Also a set of platter Albino Sturgeon Caviar.”
Even though they were having their meal in a five-star restaurant, ordering dishes that were worth hundreds of thousands was enough to shock the manager of the restaurant.
The manager rushed over and said to Mark in a polite, cautious tone, “Sir, aside from others, in regards to the Albino Sturgeon Caviar, our restaurant does not have many in stock. One gram will cost approximately 20,000, and there are three of you here, which sums it up to 60,000.”
“Do you think I can’t afford it?” Mark’s expression was dark.
The manager quickly answered, “No, that’s not what I meant. I’m just trying to confirm with you, sir.”
“Then cut the nonsense and just serve what I ordered.”
Mark waved his hand with a calm face. Then, he glanced at Jasper disdainfully and said faintly, “That’s all. It’s just hundreds of thousands, a simple meal.”
Knowing Mark was trying to use his money to suppress other people, the two underlings he had brought with him naturally showed their support. With a mystifying manner, they worked together and said, “Young Master Zion is generous! However, for someone else, perhaps they won’t be able to earn these hundreds of thousands, right?”
“Don’t say so. It wasn’t easy for a certain someone to save more than half a year’s worth of salary to bring a beauty over to a five-star hotel to enjoy a meal. If you guys are here triggering him, won’t he lose his composure when he returns home?”
“Hahaha!”
Ear-piercing sounds kept traveling over, but Jasper’s expression remained calm.
“Manager, I’m going to order some dishes.”
The manager walked over to him. As someone with a discerning eye, one glance was all it took for him to know that the guests from those two tables were trying to compete with each other. This made the manager hope for more good things to happen.
“Give me a portion of whatever they ordered. For that Albino Sturgeon Caviar, give me two boxes of it.”
The manager was dumbfounded when he heard Jasper’s words.
“Two… Two boxes?!”
“Sir, you heard the price just now. One box has six grams, and two boxes will be 12 grams. It’ll cost 214,000…”
Subconsciously, the manager emphasized the price of Albino Sturgeon Caviar.
“For foods like this, what’s the meaning of being so calculative when eating? It’s only by having a big spoonful per mouthful can I make out the taste,” said Jasper calmly.
When the manager heard this, he dared not even let out a sound. He dared not offend someone who could afford a meal costing more than 200,000. He spun around and placed the order.
Mark’s expression changed for the worst.
He bought Albino Sturgeon Caviar according to grams while Jasper immediately ordered two boxes of it.
This made him feel that he was being overwhelmed by Jasper.
The truth was indeed that way.
Mark was rich, but there was a limit to it. After all, his money was sourced from the Zion family, which was the source of his monthly pocket money.
He had not reached a level where he was able to enjoy a meal worth 200,000 to 300,000.
If his family found out about it, he would be in trouble.
The corners of Mark’s mouth were twitching as he wore a dark expression. He stared at Jasper and said, “Cut the overacting. Later you won’t be able to pay for the bill.”
At that moment, the dishes for both tables were being served. Jasper immediately opened up a box of Albino Sturgeon Caviar and poured all of it on his foie gras. He took a bite and frowned gently.
It was not as delicious as he thought it would be.
Jasper took the remaining box of Albino Sturgeon Caviar and waved to a waiter who was doubting his life. He said a word or two to him.
The waiter’s expression changed drastically.
Wendy was laughing sneakily.
That scene made Mark curious because he did not know what Jasper had told the waiter. His sixth sense was telling him that it would not be a good thing.
Following then, the waiter looked at Jasper with a troubled look, then looked at Mark.
Finally, he gulped a mouthful of saliva and walked over while holding onto the box of Albino Sturgeon Caviar.
“What are you trying to do?!”
Mark saw the waiter who was walking toward him and asked, suppressing the unpleasantness and anger within him.
The waiter let out a dry smile and said awkwardly, “That man said he can’t bear to see you three eating on such a tight budget, so he’s giving you guys one box. Just help yourself to it… This is what he said.”
‘Eating… on such a tight budget?!’
Mark felt the flames of rage burning within him. In his entire life, he had never been humiliated in this manner before.
What was more, it was regarding the wealth he was so proud of.
Just when he was about to open his mouth and roar at Jasper, a young gentleman suddenly came in from the outside. He rushed over.
“I beg your pardon, Young Master Zion! I came late…”
Mark did not speak a word after hearing it. He looked unhappy.
Seeing Mark’s awful expression, the man thought Mark was exasperated because he was late.
When he was about to apologize, he noticed Mark’s dark gaze staring in another direction not far away.
The man looked in that direction. When he saw the familiar face that was not far away, his face was decorated with astonishment. “Wendy… Wendy Schuler?!”
