Chapter 435: I’m Laying My Cards on the Table_1

“This…”

The waiter stood in place, unsure of what to do.

It was his first time encountering such a customer.

Wasn’t everyone who came in a valued guest?

He couldn’t afford to offend any of them.

Even if a customer made the most unreasonable demands, he had to bear with it.

Actually, Julius Reed’s thoughts were quite simple: after all, he hadn’t brought any money with him, and his relationship with Itai Huntington was ambiguous. How could he spend someone else’s money?

But as it happened, Julius Reed had left home today without his card.

This was awkward. He decided that in the future, he needed to carry his wallet when going out.

“No problem, just do as I say.”

Julius Reed stood up, patted the waiter on the shoulder, and said, “Go on.”

“No idea where this poor fucker came from; probably sneaked in!”

A male student glanced disdainfully at Julius Reed and said to his girlfriend, “I can’t believe we’d come across such a freak even in a place as high-class as this. I’ll have to make a suggestion to the boss. People like him coming in here really ruins our ambience.”

“Exactly! What a lonely loser. He probably spent his whole fortune in here. You know what this is called? Trying to save face but making yourself suffer! Not like you, always bringing me here for coffee. Let me tell you, the coffee here is really great. Once you get used to it, coffee from anywhere else tastes like herbal medicine.”

The girl sitting across from the guy echoed the sentiment, clearly not taking Julius Reed seriously.

“What’s so special about the taste of coffee? It’s all the same stuff. If you could taste cat shit in it, now that would be impressive.”

Julius Reed muttered to himself, “Some people, after drinking a few days of foreign ink, don’t even know their own last name anymore. They drink coffee during the day, but who knows what they’re drinking after going back home with someone at night!”

His words made the girl’s face turn red instantly.

She had indeed been staying with a man recently, and things between men and women had happened.

Put on the spot like that, the girl became furiously embarrassed, stood up, and approached Julius Reed, “You poor fucker, what did you say?”

She was imposing and aggressive, which quickly attracted the attention of all the customers.

It was still quite busy at the time, with twenty or thirty people in the café, mostly young folks.

“Poor fucker? Where’s the poor fucker?”

Julius Reed stood up, looking around as if confused, then suddenly said as if he had an epiphany, “Oh, you’re talking about yourself? Being poor is no big deal, but you should at least respect yourself. If you sleep with someone just for a cup of coffee, that’s pretty cheap, isn’t it? How about I buy you a cup?”

“You… you fucking hooligan!”

The girl’s face turned instantly red, and she ran back into the arms of her boyfriend, crying, “Alton Bread, he’s talking about me!”

Men in front of women are prone to impulsiveness.

As the saying goes, a man would rage for the sake of his beloved.

Now that his girlfriend had been insulted, the man knew it was his time to show up.

He stood up, straightened his suit, and approached Julius Reed with an imposing air. “Buddy, what do you mean by this?”

Knowing that many eyes around him were watching, the guy even more dominantly placed a foot on the chair opposite Julius Reed. “Insulting my girlfriend?”

“Don’t call me buddy. What, you trying to be related to me, mooching off my plain water?”

Julius Reed raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, “Go drink your cat shit coffee, don’t even think about getting my plain water!”

“This guy is so funny!”

“I find him quite interesting, and to be able to enter the range, he must be rich or noble. Why would he insist on a cup of plain water?”

“That you don’t know. Some rich people just have these quirks. We can’t fathom what they’re thinking.”

Most people just laughed off Julius Reed’s remarks.

How could anyone coming to the range not have money?

The man’s drinking plain water for health reasons!

As for being free, who would complain about having too much money?

Even a tiny fly is still meat.

But when the man heard these comments, it felt like an insult to him.

Especially hearing the murmurs around him, he knew he couldn’t lose face!

The man named Dexter was a local from Gonzalez City, with some family assets. He took pleasure in changing girlfriends frequently.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Every week there’s a different woman by his side at the café.

That’s why so many people knew him as “Alton Bread.”

Now, humiliated in front of so many acquaintances, how could he stand it?

“Apologize to my girlfriend, immediately!”

Dexter said with a stern face.

“Apologize for what? To your girlfriend? Dude, with that body of yours, I bet from the moment you walked in, you wouldn’t last more than a minute. Go home and eat more kidneys; what do you need a girlfriend for?”

After Julius Reed finished speaking, the waiter just happened to bring over the hot water.

“You! What nonsense are you spouting!”

Dexter, hit where it hurt, immediately flew into a rage!

And the woman’s face turned red, obviously confirming Julius Reed’s words.

“Holy shit! So it’s true you’re impotent! And yet you switch girlfriends so frequently, got nothing better to do?”

“Exactly! I thought you were some tough guy, but turns out you’re just a pewter rifle, all show and no go!”

“This guy must be bluffing, how did he guess it right away?”

Everyone present was clever; just by looking at the faces of the two, they knew the odds were that this was the case.

And as a man, having it exposed in public made Dexter absolutely furious!

He wanted to kill Julius Reed!

But this was a shooting range and he couldn’t just lash out.

“Ender, come here!”

With a wave of his hand, Dexter called the woman named Ender to come over.

“Kid! I don’t care who you are, apologize to my girlfriend right now; get on your knees and apologize!”

He roared, trying to recover his reputation through sheer bluster.

Moreover, he was well aware that word of this would soon spread; how could he show his face at the café after?

“Apologies won’t do. How about I give you a remedy? I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Julius Reed took a gentle sip of the hot water, his face full of bliss as he said, “Water tastes better.”

“What remedy…”

Dexter asked in a deep voice.

Since Julius could tell Dexter was inadequate, it was probably not a guess; if there really was a remedy, it would be a godsend.

Because of this issue, Dexter had been to the capital several times, spending a lot of money with little to no effect.

And the frequent switching of girlfriends was because, once known, no woman wanted to stay with him long-term.

Though they were after his money, over time Dexter also worried that he might get cuckolded.

“Haha, ever heard of super glue?”

As soon as Julius Reed said this, what had been a quiet café immediately burst into laughter.

“You motherfucker dare to mock me! Poor loser, do you know who I am? I’m Dexter, my father is Atticus Wilson!”

Dexter shouted furiously, so angry he was about to hit someone!

“And do you know who I am?”

Julius Reed’s face darkened, he stood up and poured the boiling hot water directly onto Dexter’s face.

“I’ll lay my cards on the table; I’m Itai Huntington’s husband!”

“What!”

The café was in shock!

“Itai Huntington, the Black Widow? She has a man?”

“Holy shit! Does this kid know what the consequences of spreading rumors are?”

“Guess he’ll be thrown into Gonzalez City docks once Itai Huntington finds out!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking Julius Reed had gone mad.

Even Dexter laughed, wiping the water from his face, he smirked viciously, “Kid, you’re dead once Itai Huntington finds out!”
