Elliot, however, cautioned, “Young Master, I have a feeling that the kid might not be an ordinary person. He may be using a special technique to conceal his inner strength. We shouldn’t underestimate him.”
“Elliot, if you’re not confident, I’ll have someone test him later,” Henry felt that Elliot was being overly cautious.
The restaurant was spacious on the inside, with neat pathways, well-trimmed flowers, and trees. Alongside the green trees and clean streams, there were tables and chairs for patrons.
Looking around, many martial cultivators sat in groups of three or five, enjoying their meals.
Leo and Master Jennifer chose a spot near a flowing stream. A beautiful waitress walked over and handed them menus.
Leo took a menu and handed it to Master Jennifer, saying, “Choose whatever you like; it’s on me.”
Master Jennifer was not shy either and took the menu, placing her order. She mostly ordered vegetarian dishes, as women often cared about their appearance and weight.
Handing the menu back to the waitress, Master Jennifer remarked, “Most of the dishes in this restaurant come from Falling Sunset Mountain. Many of the wild vegetables have absorbed the aura of elixirs. Eating them can help with cultivation.”
Master Jennifer had just finished speaking when Henry approached again with his polar ice wolf.
Leo noticed that many customers in the restaurant, upon seeing Henry’s polar ice wolf, displayed envious expressions.
“Hello, beautiful. I sincerely hope to make friends with you,” Henry’s voice echoed near Master Jennifer.
Master Jennifer’s brows furrowed, and a cold expression appeared on her face.
Leo gave Henry a glance and thought, this guy was truly thick-skinned. If he angered Master Jennifer later, he’d learn that you couldn’t just hit on any girl.
With a confident air, Henry sat down beside the large dining table without waiting for Leo and Master Jennifer’s consent. He then said, “Ladies, you must be new here. To show my sincerity in making friends, I’m treating you to this meal.”
Leo smiled and looked at Henry, asking, “Are you sure you want to treat us to a meal?”
“Of course,” Henry responded with a carefree air, waving a fan.
Leo’s smile broadened, “You just said your name is Henry, right? I was right, you are indeed a generous man. Since you’re willing to treat us, why not order everything on this restaurant’s menu? My friend and I would love to try all the local delicacies. Is that alright?”
Henry’s mouth twitched, thinking, “Damn, this guy is really a driver knowing nothing. Do you think this is an ordinary restaurant?!” The restaurant was called “Falling Sunset,” and it was well-known in the local martial world. Furthermore, it was controlled by a top martial sect. The menu consisted of over two hundred dishes, and ordering everything would cost no less than fifty million.
The Lynd family, while a martial clan with no shortage of money, spending fifty million to treat two strangers to dinner would be a massive waste. It would undoubtedly earn Henry a “honorary title” – Super Prodigal! Henry stopped waving his fan and frowned, “Bro, the menu here has over two hundred dishes. Can you really finish them all? Wasting food is a significant crime, you know?”
Leo wore a contemptuous expression on his face and said, “It seems Mr. Lynd can’t afford it. He was boasting about treating us, but he turns out to be a fake big spender. Waiter, bring one of everything on the menu!”
The waitress thought she must have misheard and asked again, “Sir, are you saying you want one of every dish from this menu with over two hundred options?”
“Yes,” Leo affirmed confidently.
The waitress’s face immediately showed an astonished expression. She had worked here for a long time but had never encountered such a big spender.
“Don’t worry; I’m not like some people who pretend to be wealthy but don’t have money. If you’re concerned, I can swipe my card to pay,” Leo added, taking out his wallet.
This remark from Leo was undoubtedly a slap in Henry’s face.
Henry couldn’t endure this. In both the mortal and martial worlds, the primary condition for picking up women was to be generous. No woman would like a stingy guy. If today he left an impression of being miserly in front of this beautiful woman, he wouldn’t even have a chance.
Many diners had been paying attention to the situation here, and upon hearing that Leo wanted to order all the dishes, they were all surprised.
“I thought the guy standing with the beautiful lady was the chauffeur, but it turns out he’s a rich guy.”
“Appearances can be deceiving. The quieter someone is, the more remarkable they might be. This statement is absolutely true.”
“That guy with the wolf just said he’d treat us, but as soon as he heard about over two hundred dishes, he chickened out. Acting big without real money, doesn’t he feel ashamed?”
The discussions of the people all reached Henry’s ears, making his face alternate between pale and green.
An honorable member of the Lynd family couldn’t afford to pay for a meal? What a colossal joke! Henry knew that Leo was trying to provoke him, but for the sake of his reputation and the beauty, he must treat them to this meal.
Henry suddenly chuckled, “Bro, you’re quite a joker. I said I’d pay for this meal. Also, waiter, bring out your best wine. I want to treat my new friends well.”
Henry finished speaking and pulled out a black bank card from his pocket. However, he didn’t directly hand the bank card to the waitress. Instead, he infused it with his inner energy, making the card hover in the air, then it flew in a graceful arc before stopping in front of the waitress until she reached out to take it.
Henry’s move was impressive, subtly displaying his status as a great martial master. The nearby patrons no longer dared to mock him.
Everyone understood that Henry, who had reached the rank of a great martial master at such a young age, either had extraordinary talent or the substantial support of a powerful family.
Henry waved to the waitress, “Bring the food and wine quickly; my friends are hungry.”
The respectful waitress acknowledged and went to arrange the meal. Because of the sheer number of dishes, the restaurant’s staff led them to a massive private dining room.
The room had an oversized dining table, originally intended for thirty to forty people. Now, it was used to accommodate over two hundred dishes.
