| was exasperated.
Was Lina really going to start calling for reinforcements just because Ryan was unable to win against me?
Were we still in elementary school?
Wasn't that too cowardly of them?
A whole bunch of people rushed toward us very quickly.
Apart from the manager and a few waiters, there were also a few nosy diners.
When Lina saw that there were more people around, she finally had the courage to go up to Ryan and help him
to his feet. She put on a piteous look once more. "Please stand up for us, everyone! We only chere to have a
meal, and my boyfriend is actually a VIP customer here. However, we bumped into these two nobodies who
popped up out of nowhere while we were on our way to the restrooms. They beat my boyfriend up!"
She added, "The two of them aren't here to eat at all, especially the one who struck the first blow. He's dressed

The other diners immediately looked Felicia and | up and down.
Felicia said agitatedly, "No, it's not like that! We chere to eat too."
"Eat?" Ryan snorted. "Do you know that the Black Dragon restaurant only caters for guests who have made
reservations? Do you have a reservation? If you don't, then you're obviously a liar!"
Felicia immediately looked at me. "William, you insisted on bringinghere to eat. You made a reservation,
right?"
| said in resignation, "No, | didn't—"
Before | could finish, Ryan burst into laughter and interrupted me. "I knew it! He's not worthy of dining at the
Black Dragon at all! He doesn't even know that he needs to make a reservation before coming, and he's just
trying to show off in front of a beautiful woman! Everyone, don't you think we should kick them out?"
The onlookers had clearly been influenced by him, and they immediately began calling out together, "Yes, we
should!"
"Before you get lost, you should apologize to him, shouldn't you? How dare you beat him up?"
"| bet they cin to take photos so that they could post it on social media and boast about eating here while
pretending to be rich. I've seen plenty of people like them."
"It might even be a scam. That woman is dressed so provocatively. She's clearly up to no good!"
"Look at that woman! She's wearing such high-end branded clothes with a pair of scruffy canvas sneakers. What
a joke! | bet she stole those clothes."
Sdiners even took out their phones to take photos of Felicia and I.
Felicia was about to cry. She gripped my arm tightly. "William, let's go! You didn't make a reservation, so we
won't be able to eat here. Let's just go!" She was trembling with fear, and she buried her face on my back, too
afraid to look up. "Don't be scared," | comforted her gently. | took out my VIP card and handed it to the manager.
"I didn't make a reservation because I don't need to."
The manager had already raised his walkie-talkie to his mouth to contact security, but his expression changed
drastically when he sawhold out the card.

"You're the owner of this card?"
"es."
The manager did not seem to believe me. He looked closely at me. "I need verification."
| laughed coldly. "You're just a manager here. You're not authorized to verify my card. If you want to verify it, tell
Mr. Yale to cout and see me."
The manager's expression changed yet again.
The person in charge of the Black Dragon was supposed to be a general
manager named Oswald Warner, but the person who was really in control was Jordan Yale.
Jordan had giventhis card personally.
However, the manager still looked disbelieving. "Please wait a moment. I'll give Mr. Yale a call."
He picked up his phone immediately and walked over to the side.
Lina looked suspiciously at me. "What did you give him?"
