Chapter 70 Something Is Wrong
During the years he ventured the nation as the almighty Asura, he had encountered countless bottles of fine wine that would cost hundreds of millions. A bottle of wine worthy of a few thousand was child’s play as compared to those.
“Come again? Did you guys hear him? He says he doesn’t really appreciate something less than a century old!”
Charles burst into laughter instantly. He looked at Jonathan as if the man in front of him was nothing more than a fool.
Hello? A wine that’s a decade old is going to cost more than hundreds of thousands! If it’s something that’s a century old, it’s going to cost a few million! He needs to stop coming up with something as absurd as such!
“Has he lost his mind? I’m almost certain he has never seen a bottle of wine that’s at least a century old!”
“Are you taking him seriously when he’s nothing more than a fool?”
“I have a bottle of water that’s almost a century old! Maybe I’ll share it with him!”
Nana’s peers started making fun of Jonathan once they heard his seemingly arrogant remarks.
Charles, who was determined to get his revenge, asked in a provocative manner, “I’ve never tasted something as exquisite as such! What does it taste like?”
Jonathan wasn’t offended at all. He glanced at Charles and answered, “I can easily get myself the things you deem a luxury and can only afford to indulge in every once in a while.”
Once again, the guests burst into laughter when they heard his words. Charles questioned, “You’re not living in an imaginary world, are you? Who the hell do you think you are? The almighty Asura or Zachary, the King of War?”
The men next to Charles started pulling Emmeline’s leg. “Where did you find this fool? He can’t even engage himself in a proper conversation with others!”
“Shall we do you a favor and teach him the proper way to carry himself in such a social setting?”
“That’s enough!” When Charles’ friends were about to resort to violence, Nana, the host of the birthday bash, couldn’t take it anymore. She yelled, “Are you trying to ruin my day?”
Charles showed Jonathan his middle finger and beckoned his friends to leave the seemingly defenseless man alone.
In fact, Nana was of a similar idea as the rest and thought Jonathan merely was a pretentious man incapable of much.
Initially, she thought of doing Emmeline a favor, but she couldn’t take it anymore. She found Jonathan a despicable man whenever she recalled the incident Charles shared with her.
He’s the type of man I hate the most! Incapable men like him need to know their place and stop bluffing when there’s nothing remarkable about them!
Instead of picking on Jonathan, everyone else started engaging in different activities during the joyous occasion.
Apart from those who were drinking and singing, some of them were up to some raunchy fun in a dark corner.
No one, including Emmeline, had any intention to keep Jonathan company. It seemed as if he was the plague that everyone wanted to avoid.
