Chris turned his head to look.
It was none other than Dylan Piper, the son of the Governor of the East Coast.
Chris said with a half-smile, “Master Piper, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other!”
Upon seeing Chris, Dylan Piper’s face changed dramatically.
He had heard about the Middleton incident.
Chris had not only leveled the Frost family’s walls but had also broken Lysander Frost’s legs.
If Lysander Frost was no match for Chris, what was he?
If Dylan Piper had come alone, he would have turned and left immediately.
But today, he was accompanying a very important friend.
At that moment, a young man beside him asked, “Dylan Piper, do you know this man?”
Dylan Piper nodded and replied, “Yes, I know him.”
“Since you know him, that’s settled then!”
The young man glanced at Chris and said, “Friend, please give us the private room.”
Hearing this, Chris couldn’t help but laugh.
Chris coldly said, “What a joke! Who do you think you are to ask me to leave? Would I not lose face then?”
Upon hearing this, the young man’s expression darkened immediately.
Seeing the young man about to lose his temper, Dylan Piper quickly said, “Mr. Hunter, perhaps we should go to another restaurant?”
“Go to another restaurant?”
Sean Hunter scoffed.
“I, Sean Hunter, walk sideways wherever I go, and no one dares to oppose me. Do you think I would go to another restaurant?”
“This…”
Hearing this, Dylan Piper became entangled.
It seemed difficult this time!
Dylan Piper was very clear about Chris.
Chris was not only a Primus of Amerosia but also the king of the East Coast with significant influence.
But Sean Hunter was no ordinary person either; offending him could lead to serious consequences.
Sean Hunter looked at Chris disdainfully and advised, “Kid, I suggest you hurry up and give the room to me. I’m not someone you can afford to provoke.”
Upon hearing this, Chris’s face turned cold.
Esther held Chris back and said, “Dear, let’s just go somewhere else to eat, shall we?”
Esther knew Chris’s temper.
Once Chris got angry, it would lead to a big storm.
For the sake of a meal, Esther didn’t want to escalate things.
But Chris was not as easily persuaded as Esther.
If he gave in today, how would he, the king of the East Coast, save face?
Chris told the waiter, “Please, prepare the private room for us!”
“Yes!”
The waiter nodded and immediately walked away.
Seeing Chris not giving him face, Sean Hunter’s expression grew dark.
“Kid, you’ve got guts! This is the first time someone hasn’t given me face. You just wait, this isn’t over!”
After saying this, Sean Hunter and Dylan Piper left the restaurant.
Chris scoffed lightly, not taking Sean Hunter seriously at all.
These spoiled young masters, all so arrogant, think they’re above everyone else.
Chris wouldn’t indulge them.
After entering the private room and starting their meal, Esther suddenly furrowed her brows and mused to herself.
“Sean Hunter? Could he be one of the Hunter family?”
Chris curiously asked, “Dear, do you know this Hunter family?”
Esther took a deep breath and explained, “Amerosia has many families, and besides the noble Middleton family, in the south at Riverton, there is one of the four great salt merchant families. These families have monopolized the salt industry in Amerosia for hundreds of years and are rich enough to rival countries!”
Salt, a lucrative commodity, was historically monopolized by governments because it was essential to everyday life.
Riverton was the hub of the Amerosian salt industry.
The four great salt merchant families nearly had a monopoly over Amerosia’s salt trade.
Among them was the Hunter family.
Chris said dismissively, “The four great salt merchant families? As long as they don’t bother me, I couldn’t care less.”
Chris, who feared neither the ten noble families, was hardly intimidated by the salt merchants.
Seeing Chris’s nonchalant expression, Esther warned, “Dear, don’t take it lightly. Each of the four salt families has controlled the economic lifeline of southern Amerosia for centuries!”
“Moreover, their influence in the south is significant, especially since they’ve been expanding martial arts schools. It’s said that they’ve opened thousands across the region.”
Chris stroked his chin thoughtfully.
It seemed the four great salt families were indeed formidable.
Meanwhile, outside the restaurant.
Dylan Piper cautiously said, “Mr. Hunter, please, don’t be angry!”
Even though Dylan Piper was a son of the East Coast Governor’s estate.
But Sean Hunter was the young master of the Hunter family, one of the four great salt merchants in the south.
The Hunter family’s influence was vast, and even Dylan Piper dared not offend him.
At that moment, Sean Hunter was seething with anger, as he was the young master of the Hunter family.
The Hunters were no less prestigious than the noble Middleton family.
To think that he would be disrespected on the East Coast was outrageous!
Dylan Piper attempted to placate him with a smile, “Mr. Hunter, don’t be upset. I know a club with great models, how about we…”
“Get lost!”
Sean Hunter cursed at Dylan Piper.
“I can’t swallow this insult. I won’t rest until I’ve settled this score!”
Dylan Piper looked desperately worried.
At this point, he despised Chris for offending Sean Hunter, which led to the current situation.
But whether it was Chris or Sean Hunter, Dylan was in no position to provoke either.
He felt like a rat caught between two enemies.
Sean Hunter didn’t leave but made a call and soon, several bodyguards were stationed at the restaurant’s entrance.
He was waiting for Chris to come out to teach him a lesson.
About half an hour later, Chris, along with Esther and Juliette, exited the restaurant.
Upon seeing Chris, a fierce look crossed Sean Hunter’s face.
Without hesitation, he and his bodyguards approached.
Dylan Piper’s face fell, sensing trouble.
“Hey kid, stop right there!”
Chris, who was about to leave, looked up upon hearing the shout.
Sean Hunter, flanked by his bodyguards, charged towards him with menacing energy.
Chris, seeing this, could only roll his eyes.
He knew without a doubt that Sean Hunter was here for trouble.
Sean Hunter approached Chris and snarled, “Kid, you think you can just walk away after offending me?”
