"It's alright. I'll pay." Maximilian said.
The waiter was astonished. He looked at Maximilian with curiosity and thought that the guy might have something wrong with his brain. That was 110,000 yuan, and Maximilian didn't look like having that much money.
He affirmed that Maximilian must be bragging to impress Liliana.
The waiter taunted, "Do you have that much money?"
Maximilian smiled and ignored him.
Cassius urged, "Cut the crap. We'll see it as soon as you swiping the card."
The waiter swiped the card.
Cassius stressed deliberately, "I can give you 110,000 yuan as long as you bend on your knees and kowtow to me. That way you can walk out of the restaurant without your ribs being cracked."
The on-lookers laughed when they heard this. One of them yelled, "Isn't that loss too big for him?"
"No, it's not. 110,000 yuan for 3 kowtows, I think that's a pretty good deal for both of us, because I don't care about that little money." Cassius said. All he wanted was to humiliate Maximilian in front of Liliana.
If Maximilian kowtowed to him because he had no money, no woman, including Liliana, would love such a coward. In that way, Liliana might give up on Maximilian.
He could let Liliana despise Maximilian and humiliate Maximilian at the same time. It was to kill two birds with one stone.
The waiter's attitude suddenly changed. His eyes checked Maximilian repeatedly. Then he gave the card back to Maximilian in a polite manner. He became nervous now.
Cassius still didn't feel what has changed. He said to the waiter, "Am I right? Is he lying?"
The waiter gave a bitter smile. He looked at Cassius as if he was an idiot. The waiter then said, "He's our VIP guest. Please don't talk to him like that."
"VIP?" Cassius felt so confused right now. It hadn't been one minute before the waiter changed his address and called Maximilian the "VIP guest". The waiter even talked back to him for Maximilian.
He suspected that Maximilian must have a fortune in his bank account. Cassius shook his head and couldn't believe this is true.
Maximilian took back the bank card, then looked at Cassius and said, "I'm sorry, I have the money. Guess I don't have to kowtow to you for the money now."
Cassius knew Maximilian was being sarcastic. He felt very upset. He was about to teach Maximilian a lesson and to show off. He didn't expect things to end up like this.
This had gone beyond his plan. He couldn't accept the fact that Maximilian might be richer than him.
His plan had failed, but he refused to accept the fact that he was defeated.
"What a surprise! How can you have 110,000 yuan in your bank account? Where did you get that from?" Cassius still trying to provoke Maximilian.
Liliana wanted to get rid of this man right away. She said, "Now, would you please excuse us. We want to have dinner first."
The waiter blocked Cassius and said to him, "Please go back to your seat and leave other guests alone."
Cassius looked sullen. He slapped the waiter in his face and scolded, "Who do you think you are to block my way? You sick of living?"
