Upon hearing what Jonathan said, Troy smiled. “So you're from another city? No wonder you don't look familiar. Did you come to Yaleview to study, or are you here on a casual trip?”
“What's with all the annoying questions? It's none of your business.” Jonathan knitted his brows.
He did not enjoy talking to strangers and found Troy really annoying.
If it were not for Sophia, Jonathan would not have entertained him.
“Excuse me?” The young man, who hailed from the Zeller family, took offense in his response, but he suppressed his anger. “I only showed concern because you're a visitor in Yaleview. As someone familiar with the city, I just thought of bringing you around the city.”
“You don't have to!” Jonathan rejected his offer outright.
He was not in a good mood to continue this conversation with Troy.
“Don't you dare challenge my patience!” Troy's face turned grim right away as he could no longer stand how rude Jonathan was.
He's nothing but a country bumpkin. Where did he find the courage to act all high and mighty in front of me?
He's just asking for trouble. How atrocious!
A hard glint flashed across Jonathan's eyes. “Did you just threaten me?”
“I'd like to think of it as a friendly reminder,” Troy sneered. “As a visitor in a foreign city, you should watch your attitude to avoid any unnecessary problem!”
Jonathan scoffed, “Is that so? What kind of problem can I cause? I'm interested to find out too!”
Instead of wasting time with Troy, Jonathan turned to Sophia and said, “Come on. Let's go!”
“Okay!” Sophia nodded and was ready to leave with him.
But just when they were about to walk away, Troy stopped them from leaving. “Where do you think you're going? Why are you in a hurry to leave?”
“Get out of my way!” Jonathan frowned.
“Come on!” Troy was not ready to give in either.
“I said get lost!” Jonathan glared at him. He had completely lost his patience.
“What if I refuse?” Troy sneered.
“Really?” Jonathan responded with a snort. In the blink of an eye, he raised his leg and kicked Troy on his abdomen!
The kick sent the young man flying over three feet away.
“F*ck! How dare you kick me?” Troy shot daggers at Jonathan while covering his abdomen with his hands and crawling on the ground in pain.
A vortex of anger swirled inside him. He never thought a country bumpkin would have the audacity to attack him!
“Don't ever get in my way again, you hear me?” Jonathan gave the young man a cold stare before holding Sophia's hand and walking out of the restaurant.
Before they could step out of the door, Troy raised his voice. “Stop right there! Do you think I'd allow you to leave just like that?”
“What do you want from me?” Jonathan turned around and gave him a sullen glare.
If it were not for Sophia, he would have retaliated by giving Jonathan a tight slap. I'll not allow anyone to disrespect me like that!
