To be honest, it was not considered cheap for two people to spend 200 dollars on a meal in these times.
However, it was not the case if they were at Golden Pedestrian Street in Waterhoof City, a lively and bustling place.
Flynn Herrett’s hands had been cramping from the amount of money he handled each day ever since he opened up this restaurant. He had a relative working as a property manager who was initially against him opening up a restaurant here, but they were now on their knees begging him to extend his lease.
After all, for every customer they served, they would order at least 600 or 700 dollars worth of food that cost less than 100 dollars to prepare. These huge, sudden profits had naturally led Flynn to look down upon seemingly poor people who were taking up space like Jasper.
With his sudden surge in wealth combined with the fact he had a property manager backing him up, Flynn was never scared of customers complaining or finding fault with him. Had there been anyone who he failed to deal with?
Jasper gazed calmly at Flynn as he asked, “Do you treat all your customers like this?”
Flynn said exasperatedly, “F*cking hell, you two foreigners are trying to put yourselves on a pedestal now? I’ve always had this attitude. What are you going to do about it? You can eat here if you want to, or get the hell out if you can’t wait any longer!
“You’d best believe that I’ll get someone to throw you out if you don’t get the hell out right now!”
“I’m going to remain sitting here. Why don’t you try getting your men to kick me out?” Jasper asked calmly.
“Hey!”
Flynn laughed oddly as he said, “Have I met someone who doesn’t know what’s good for them today? Where’s security? Security!”
Two security guards appeared behind Flynn.
“Drag these two dumb foreigners out. F*cking hell, how dare they behave atrociously in my territory? They must be blind.”
Upon hearing Flynn’s orders, the two guards immediately walked toward Jasper so they could drag him down the stairs.
Just then, Julian placed himself in front of Jasper and grabbed hold of the two guards’ wrists with one hand. In a few simple moves, he had the guards howling as they knelt on the floor.
The expression on Flynn’s face turned ugly as he watched his guards clutch their wrists and howl.
“You hit them?! You dare hit my people in my restaurant?!”
Flynn yelled in surprise as he pointed at Jasper and shouted angrily, “Just wait, you stupid foreigner! We’re not done here. You’d best stay here if you have the guts to do so!”
As Flynn spoke, he fished his phone out of his pocket and began making a call.
“I haven’t even had my meal yet, why would I run off?” Jasper asked calmly.
Those who could start businesses on Golden Pedestrian Street all had some level of connections and power. After a moment’s thought, Jasper asked Julian to call and inform Victor of what was going on.
Dealing with the city hall was different from dealing with the usual forces. It was best to take care of things from the city hall’s level instead of utilizing brute force.
Besides, Jasper planned to publicize what had just happened. Else, bad morale would spread throughout Golden Pedestrian Street if other stores all began imitating them. It would be difficult to remedy the issue if that happened.
Flynn had strong connections. Several uniformed men walked up the stairs after a mere ten minutes.
A calm and composed middle-aged man was among them.
“What’s going on?” Scully Herrett asked the minute he arrived.
“Uncle, this is the guy who caused a ruckus in my restaurant and injured two of my guards. You must punish these foreigners severely, or I’ll never be able to do business here! They’ll all climb over my head!” Flynn immediately ran over to Scully and began complaining.
When he saw that many of the onlookers were tourists, Scully immediately frowned and berated, “Nonsense. Stop pinning the blame on foreigners all the time. How bad could their influence be?”
Then, Scully walked over to Jasper and asked in a low voice, “Did you beat up those two guards?”
Julian stepped forth. “I did.”
Scully sneered. “Alright then. I’m in charge of both the property and the security in this area! You two come with me.”
