“What?”Tiffany and Kai were stunned for a moment while the other alumni looked over in succession.They watched as Swallowston’s richest man, Mr. Donald, who seldom showed up in public, walked into the hotel with the president of Swallowston Bank, Mandy, the director of Nine Kings, Liam, and the director of Swallowston Jewelers.The hotel’s manager came to welcome them in person.Donald was the only person who was acquainted with Battle Warrior Lucas. He was Lucas’ friend. However, Donald had always kept a low profile and almost never got involved in any scandals. He seldom showed up in public too.“It really is Mr. Donald. I didn’t expect to see him here as soon as Kai mentioned him.” The crowd of people could not help feeling amused to see Donald’s arrival.Meanwhile, Tiffany narrowed her eyes and looked at Adrian sarcastically. “Adrian, didn’t you say that you’re acquainted with Donald? Why haven’t you gone over to say hi?”“Hahaha!” Kai burst out in laughter as well.He ha

A few women surrounded Adrian and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow! Samantha’s husband, you’re really impressive. You’re actually acquainted with Swallowston’s richest man, Donald Kushner. Moreover, he treats you with so much respect!”“That’s right, you must be someone very important, right?”A few women surrounded Adrian and inquired eagerly.Adrian shrugged. In truth, he had not expected to cross paths with Donald here either. However, he could tell that Tiffany and Kai were completely at a loss right now. They stood by the side, red in the face.They were planning on being the main characters today, drawing out the envy and flattery from their fellow alumni today. Yet, they were being ignored now. Tiffany enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. Otherwise, she would not have invited just the alumni who did poorly in life to today’s gathering. She was afraid that those who did well in life would steal her limelight yet she had not expected…Meanwhile, a chubby man sud

Kai was now in a great mood. He waved his hand to command the others because he assumed that Adrian was only acquainted with a fake Donald.The rest of the people refused to lower themselves to Kai and Tiffany’s level because they knew these two people enjoyed showing off since they were in university. Moreover, Tiffany and Kai were the types of people described as cowards who enjoyed bullying the weak.They would spare no effort to suck up to a wealthy person and would regard a poor person as worse than an animal.It was very apparent that everyone was aware that Tiffany invited them to the gathering so they could watch the show she put on for them.As for what type of show it was, it was apparent that they were there to witness Tiffany and Kai showing off while victimizing Samantha’s husband.***Soon, the crowd arrived at the private room Kai had reserved.He took a seat and behaved like a generous host. “Please take a seat, everyone!”The rest sat down while Adrian took a s

“You’re looking better by the day, Seth!” Tiffany quipped.Seth’s eyes landed on Samantha as soon as he walked into the room. He looked away after a quick glance and took a seat like he was a yogist and began to shut his eyes to rest.There was a saying “birds of a feather flock together.” Seth, Kai, and Tiffany were friends so one could tell that Seth was just as pretentious as they were. One could already tell that he was showing off when he shut his eyes and behaved as if everything around him was simply the wind passing wind.Kai and Tiffany were delighted that Seth was there to control the scene.Kai stood up and said, “Let’s order. Also, we’re going Dutch on today’s meal.”“What?”“Going Dutch?”Everyone was instantly stunned upon hearing that.Tiffany had claimed over the phone that she was paying for today’s meal. Yet, it turned into going Dutch when they got here.However, Kai and Tiffany looked toward Adrian with narrowed eyes when Kai made his proclamation. It was t

Adrian advised them out of kindness.One should not mess around by ordering everything on the menu of a five-star hotel’s restaurant. However, Kai and Tiffany could not be bothered to listen because they were already fixated on the idea of humiliating Adrian.Kai chuckled and said, “Why would I need your protection? You should be concerned about yourself first because you’ll be paying for the others. It’ll be hilarious if you can’t afford to pay.”“It’s not that I can’t afford to pay. I’m just worried that you’re fooling around. The human brain is great. It’s a shame that not everyone uses what they were given,” Adrian said.“Who are you pointing your finger at?” Kai was instantly furious.However, Tiffany said, “Dear, let’s not lower ourselves to the level of people who like to show off. He’ll make a fool of himself later and learn that there’s a price to being a show-off.”In truth, Tiffany was the one trying to show off yet she was accusing someone else of being a show-off.T

“How about it? Are you too much of a coward to drink? Are you scared I’ll get you drunk?” Kai looked at Adrian with a wide smile.One could say that he was sparing no effort in getting Adrian to drink.Adrian tutted upon noticing the situation and said, “Do I really have to drink? I’m driving so I think I should stay off the alcohol, right?”Kai said, “Are you scared?”Adrian had never found the act of drinking to be scary.“We’ve ordered so many drinks today so isn’t it a waste if we don’t drink everything? And we can’t return it either. Just be frank if you’re too scared to drink. We’re men, and men drink!” Kai said.If Adrian were to decline further after Kai’s urge, it would be disrespectful so Adrian said, “Sure, I’ll drink with you.”Upon saying that, Adrian poured himself a glass and drank with Kai.Adrian was planning on drinking responsibly but Kai finished his drink in a gulp and said, “Whoever doesn’t finish the drink is a p*ssy.”Kai turned his glass upside down to

“Kai!” Tiffany cried out and hastily went to attend to Kai.However, Kai was so intoxicated that he could not be propped up. As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw up all over himself.The private room was filled with a pungent stench.“Kai! Kai!” Tiffany was so panic-stricken that she was almost in tears. She shouted his name over and over.Meanwhile, Kai had fallen into a stupor from the intoxication. He lay on the floor and vomited again.The rest of the alumni were startled by Kai’s condition.“Is Kai an idiot? He insisted on drinking with Adrian when he is such a lousy drinker. Did his mother drop him when he was a baby?” a few male alumni scolded.Tiffany stood aside and was at a loss for what to do. She stretched out her hands and tried to pull Kai up but she was utterly incapable of doing so.She had been so fixated on the idea of Kai getting Adrian drunk. Little did she expect that Kai would get drunk before Adrian.“Blergh!” Kai threw up again and there was blood i

In reality, there was nothing high and mighty about him. Instead, he looked rather idiotic.Seth was instantly infuriated and said, “I’ve sat here for such a long time and have seen through your capability. I find you to be very off-putting.“I’m afraid that you’ll never learn to show respect to me if I don’t teach you a lesson.”Seth stood up, clenched his fists, and cracked his knuckles loudly.Everyone found his remark baffling.‘He’ll never learn to show respect to him?’ The other alumni laughed and they found his reasoning to be rather foolish.However, Tiffany became excited as soon as Seth spoke. She forgot about Kai as she said in excitement, “Seth, are you willing to stand up at last?“Adrian, Seth has another identity. He’s known as one of the best fighters in Northrive. You’re going to get beaten up today.“Seth, teach him a lesson!” Tiffany said in an attempt to start an uproar.Meanwhile, an alumnus stood up and said, “Seth, you just sat down and shut your eyes as

“Aaagh!”An intense, agonized scream was heard as Seth spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood before he dropped to his knees with his mouth wide open.He was panted heavily and his face was flushed.Seth had lost his self-assuming, lofty expression. Sweat poured down from his forehead and dripped down his face, and the teeth in his mouth had all vanished without a trace. His face was very swollen as well.His expression was filled with awkwardness and he was at a loss for what to do next.Tiffany was stupefied and her expression was filled with astonishment.The rest were shocked too.Seth was on his knees with his hands over his abdomen. He felt extremely regretful at this moment. He would not have stepped forward if he had known that this would happen.The reason why he chose to step forward was that he found Adrian to be off-putting. He felt that Adrian was stealing his limelight such that the alumni had neglected his presence. Yet, he failed to consider whose fault it was

Kai was drunk while Seth got beaten up. Tiffany was left all alone.She initially planned to be the center of attention and bask in the flattery from the other alumni. Not only had she not received any flattery, but she even encountered this situation and felt so embarrassed that she blushed scarlet.It could be said that Tiffany was overwhelmed with feelings of displeasure, and was on the verge of despair. She never expected this to happen.Ignoring Tiffany’s mood, Samantha said to the waitress, “How much is the total bill, miss? How much is it per person? Please get the bill for us so we can check.”The waitress smiled and grabbed the menu to calculate briefly before she announced, “Miss, your total is three million and three hundred thousand dollars. There are a total of ten people here so each person’s portion is three hundred and thirty thousand dollars.”Wow!Everyone was instantly stunned from hearing the total amount while Tiffany felt a crushing blow.Everyone was astou
