The bartender's mouth went wide like it just got hit by a frog!
" 100 bottles?!" He screamed in his mind and quickly rushed forward to meet Liam again.
In this way, he pushed Sarah, the timid bar assistant, away and faced Liam with a polite look.
Sarah, who was moved aside swiftly, ended up pulling her brows together as a small squirm escaped from her mouth, out of shock.
" Mr. Graceful, I am back. I don't have any other things to do again, so I will serve you now. You want 100 bottles right? For that, you will get an extra free drink." He unhurriedly said, respectfully attending to Liam, who narrowed his eyes with a displeased look.
" That's how we treat our good customers. And you know what? The 100 bottles aren't available at once now, but I will made a quick order now, and it shall be delivered before you know it." The bartender added to his words, without minding Liam's displeased look.
What he was inwardly calculating was the bonus and profit he was going to get from what Liam wanted to buy.
" You change your mind?" Liam scoffed and looked sideways towards Sarah. " Why do you suddenly want to serve me? Didn't you just disregarded me?"
Immediately, the bartender shook his head negatively, as he made a flattering face, replying, " No, no, you totally misunderstand me. I know you are a wealthy person, but you are just maintaining a low profile. It's pretty obvious. So how can I disregard you?"
Before Liam could respond to the bartender, a sneer came from his behind, and he turned his back.
There......
Beverly and her new lover, Max, were standing with grace oozing out from their body, with a presumptuous and arrogant look plastering strongly on their faces.
Instantly, Liam's face fell, and it was replaced with an annoyed and disgusted expression.
Seeing his ex again with her so called new lover, brought him nothing, but memories that made his heart to bleed and hurt again. It even almost made his soul energy to fade away. Indeed, love isn't something that could be easily forgotten.
The bartender also looked up and saw the two arrogant couple, but he had no idea who they were.
" Well, well, look who is here?" Beverly walked away from Max's side, crossing her arms over her chest with twisted lips, as she approached Liam.
" Liam Storm, I don't know you still have the gut to show your poverty sicken face and filthy self here? Bravo! You are indeed bold and shameless!"
Liam balled his fists but turned away from her. He couldn't face her but could only silently suppressed the fierce anger in him. He had totally forgotten Beverly was also part of the graduating student in the college.
If he had recalled, he thought he wouldn't have come here.
" Darling, don't be surprised. People like him don't have any sense of thinking and value, not to talk of having any shame! Don't waste your beautiful time on miserable worthless piece of no good thing like this trash!" Max buttressed Beverly's point, adding more fuel to the already burning flames. Then, he went ahead and circled his arms around Beverly's waist, nestling his chin on her collarbone.
" You know he doesn't even worth to see you or hear your voice. People swimming in extra poverty like him don't deserve to step here or see a beauty like you." He whispered huskily, with a smirk, but it was audible enough to everyone present.
Hearing all these, the bartender wore a conflicted look, his eyes glancing back and forth between Liam and the arrogant couple. He didn't know what to do.
Liam didn't say anything or reacted. He only shot them a fierce look, that was enough to showcase the amount of rage swirling in him.
Finally, the bartender gazed at Beverly and Max's dress, which immediately made him to have a second thought. His expression changed instantly, cause he realized Beverly and Max were putting on expensive outfits, that could be traced to one of the most renowned designers in the city.
Then, he faced Liam and called his attention.
" You........I should have known you were faking it! You are nothing but a good for nothing nasty bloody liar! Oh, you think you can just come to this expensive bar and act the way you like?! Hell no! Just look at you, if you are really rich, you won't be putting on simple mediocre cloth like this! I can even see that your shirt has faded and almost close to tearing! You look nothing less than a fucking rotten wretched farmer!" He hissed, snapping angrily at Liam. He scolded him severely, without stopping to have a taste of his own words and cared less about Liam's feelings.
This time, the bartender ignored Liam, who was now drowning in humiliation, more of shame and humbling. He was now reduced to a state of abasement, as if he didn't really worth anything, have a life of his own or signifies any importance.
This time, the bartender faced Beverly and her lover, with a more sincere flattering look, and he smiled in a polished manner, enough to convince them.
" I never know he is such a person like that. Trying to form he is capable of buying this and that." He warbled. " I am so sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you don't mind. Let me serve you."
Beverly glanced at Max and smiled sweetly.
" I am so glad I didn't choose him over you or if not, I guess I will be ridiculed just like him." She laughed slightly and rubbed Max's hands against hers with a loving face.
Liam couldn't take this view and statement. He had enough, coupled with the humiliation from the bartender, and all, he felt really angered and disgusted!
His face flushed, his eyes turning red rimmed. Tears were the only thing he couldn't shed.
In order to avoid more humiliation, he decided to take his leave from the counter silently, dragging his so believed wretched self......
But as he slowly walked away, he could still hear the bartender making fun of him and telling Beverly and Max about his attempt to buy 100 bottles of the most expensive drink in the bar..
Beverly and Max as usual, laughed hysterically, feeling so amused, and they couldn't help but admit Liam was a dimwit!
" That's the biggest joke I have ever heard!"
Liam didn't feel disappointed anymore. He was slowly getting used to this, and at this point, it only dawned on him the kind of person his ex was. He sighed and finally decided to take a seat to put all his thoughts together. As he sat down calmly, he seized himself up and down but actually, he was satisfied with his look. He believed he didn't have to show a flashy look, before his worth could be revealed. Just then, as he was thinking, the bar door clicked open and his coursemates in the college, started walking in, filling the bar at the same time. From their looks, it was evident they were all doing well, and appearing graceful and honorable as ever!They stormed in, with their expensive outfits, shoes, bags, watch, looks, and so on, with satisfied cool look all plastered on their faces. Some of them even came with their lovers. But as expected, none of them talked to Liam or even greeted him. They all ignored him like he didn't exist and just focused on others. Evidentl
What followed his statement, was nothing, but a hall engulfed in absolute silence! But soon after, a loud burst of laughter resounded, as everyone instantly regained their senses. They all made a derisive laughter and pointed their fingers at him. " Did you just hear that? A worthless idiot want to buy the most expensive drink here?" " He can't even afford an ordinary buns, not to talk of bread, worst of all, an expensive drink! Oh, he must be kidding!" " Kidding? This is far from that! He is just bragging, trying to make us know he is also not ordinary!" " He must be a fool to think like that! Who does he wants to impress? Us? What can a poverty sicken dog like him do to impress us? This is absolutely unworthy and just depict how dump he is!" " I agree! Even if he has the money to buy a drink, I suggest he should use it to improve his life, especially his condition of living. Just look at the ordinary cloth he is putting on, even my cleaner's salary can afford his cloth
Sarah couldn't understand what Beverly meant, but she didn't debate or think on that. She looked at Liam again and said, " Sir, please don't misunderstand me. The drinks are too heavy, that is why I came to call some of the waiters to help me and also to return your card." She explained carefully, ignoring Beverly's look. Then she passed the black golden card to Liam. " Here sir." Liam sighed inwardly, and collected the card. He had first thought the card was a fake one and was now prepared to rain so much curses on his father for disappointing him again! After Sarah's explanation, everyone shut their mouths instantly! They didn't dare to say anything, not after what they heard. It was unbelievable, and it made them stunned! Max in particular, stood up and went forward to meet Sarah with a conflicted look. " What do you mean the drinks are heavy? Did he really buy the drinks? But that's impossible!" He didn't gave Sarah a chance at all. Sarah struggled to maintained her b
Liam clenched his jaws, as his nostrils started to flare! He couldn't believe what these fried brains were saying! A great feeling of resentment and extreme anger roamed across his eyes, and he felt like unleashing a serious comeback at them!Jasper glanced at Liam and noticed he was annoyed just as he was. This even intensified his anger, and he lashed out at both Max and Beverly. " You guys are just envious that Liam can buy 10 bottles of the most expensive drinks here, while you guys can't even afford two of it!" " Oh, please!" Beverly waved indifferently at Jasper and snorted coldly. " Don't pretend as if you don't know how Liam got the money! I can sense both of you are involve in the same thing! Well, I am not amazed, birds of the same feather flock together." " Shut the fuck up Beverly! You are damn crazy for saying that!" Jasper yelled and stepped forward, growling. Max scoffed and pointed at Jasper and Liam. " I will make sure you two don't get away with this, sin
Bruce stared into Liam's eyes and saw how determined he was, feeling the weight of his fierce words. " Then I will make you become someone you never imagined yourself to be! I will make you mighty and invincible! That's the only way I can make it up to you." The atmosphere in the car turned something else, after Bruce's words. This was when Liam's eyes locked with the old man butler's eyes. It seemed they both understood something. After that, the car zoomed away. ~~~~~ Meanwhile at the bar. After Liam was taken away by the cops, Jasper also felt humiliated, but the anger that overwhelmed him was more than the humiliation he felt. The college mates all cheered Beverly and Max for what they did. They swam around them, discussed, laughed, and even exchanged contacts. " Beverly, I really didn't think you can treat that asshole like that, but he surely deserves it!" " Yes! I like the way he was taken away by the cops and the expression on his face." " Oh, that was
Five years later..Avalon city. A young man appearing to be in his late twenties, stepped out of the private jet and glanced around. His body was clothed with an exquisite tailored made suit, that hugged his well built body, perfectly accentuating his long legs and the uniqueness of his body. Although, he looked striking and pleasing to the eyes, but his aura wasn't. It felt as if there was a barrier around him, subconsciously stopping anybody from approaching or moving close to him. He was like an unfathomable mystery. His eyes were sharp and frosty as they scanned the city.It had been a while. " My....Lord..." A trembling short figure, tried to approached the young man, wiping his sweats at the same time nervously. " Get the car ready." The young man ordered calmly and stuffed his hands into his pocket, before he strode away coldly. The trembling short man adjusted his gold rimmed eyeglass anxiously and stepped back slightly, before nodding obediently. " Yes...My
This was when Liam put the call to an end and narrowed his eyes at the girl, who was standing in front of the car. The moment his eyes landed on the girl, they contracted, and one of the muscles in his face feathered. The assistant was terrified to see this, and he subtly bit the tip of his fingers, feeling nervous again. " Poor you, you are going to lose your job today! I hope the boss doesn't kill you." He scolded the chauffer and shook his head. For the first time since Liam got back to the city, his expression changed rapidly, and he felt unusual. Even the chauffer was anxiously praying for himself now. The assistant couldn't take the silence anymore. He felt he was going to burst out any moment, cause he was too uncomfortable. His jaws ticked , and he quickly unfastened his seat belt....But unexpectedly, Liam placed his hand on the assistant's hand that was holding the seat belt, to stop himInstantly, the assistant felt frightened, to the extent he froze, and his e
Along a narrow lonely valley, a young familiar girl could be seen. She was the little girl, who had an encountered with Liam and Gwin. The little girl hopped happily, still tightly clutching the money in her hands, with a face full of excitement. It didn't take long before she stopped, seemingly as if she already got to her aimed place. She took a deep breath and stole glances around carefully, before she twisted the door knob. " Angelina, is that you?" A timorous voice sounded, the moment the little girl pushed open the door, that made a loud creaking sound. " Yes mama." The little girl replied gently and headed over to where the voice was coming from. An unfamiliar lady laid on a small sized bed, with her back turned. A blanket could be seen covering half of her body, and she coughed slightly. From her back view, one could even noticed the lady doesn't appear too well. ." Mama," The little girl called Angelina, climbed on the bed and released the money she was tightly
