When Nathan left the manager's office, he saw that Declan and Hayleigh had already left. Only the female staff was there, and when she saw Nathan, she sarcastically said:
"Hey there, fancy man. How was your meeting with the manager? Did you finally manage to withdraw your 100 million dollars?"
She is upset with Nathan because she believes he pretended to be wealthy and sought respect from her earlier.
Nathan frowned and replied: "I don't think I need to report to you.”
She says: "Oh, please. You're probably just some poor guy trying to pretend you're rich. You'll never have that kind of money. Please don't act like that in the future.”
Nathan gradually lost patience: "The manager has verified my identity. I have every right to access my funds, and I don't appreciate your disrespectful attitude."
She: "Stop lying. You're just trying to scam your way into the bank."
Nathan: "I assure you, that is not the case. I'm not trying to scam anyone."
She sneered and said, "Oh please, so where is money? At least you had withdrawn as your original plan."
Nathan was offended: "I don't need to withdraw anymore, so I don't withdraw. Please get out of my way!”
She is in a dismissive tone: "Do you think I’m an idiot? The manager should have made it public that you had cheated. You must be punished!”
Suddenly, Manager Rory Heath came out of his office, visibly angry. He scolded the female staff and said, "How dare you speak to one of our most honorable clients like that? Nathan Jimenez is a valued member of this bank, and you will apologize to him immediately."
The female staff was terrified. Her mind was still in a panic, and she wasn't sure what kind of family Jimenez was from, but she immediately apologised, "I'm so sorry, Mr Jimenez. I didn't mean any disrespect. I let my emotions overwhelm my work, and I misunderstood you.”
Nathan clicked his lips, looking bored: "It's alright. I understand how you are feeling. I accept your apology."
The female banker seemed to have just escaped death: "Thank you. I promise it won't happen again."
After leaving the bank, Nathan thinks of Matilda Hamilton and buys her a gift. He is motivated by the fact that he now has more money and wants to show his appreciation for her. She helps him a lot.
Nathan visits "The Grand" mall, known for luxury and exclusivity, catering to the wealthy and fashionable. The mall features high-end designer stores, fine dining, and state-of-the-art cinemas, and it's a big complex with multiple levels and a spacious atrium.
It was the first time he felt confident enough to visit the mall, as he had been financially unable to do so.
Upon arriving at the mall, Nathan enters a designer fashion store, where he meets with disdain from a saleswoman. Despite her cold demeanor, Nathan looks around the store, scanning the racks of handbags.
Later, a wealthy-looking fat man, accompanied by a beautiful girl, enters the shop. The saleswoman's attitude immediately changes. She beams with a friendly smile and greets them warmly.
Nathan spots one that catches his eye, a sleek and sophisticated black leather handbag.
He picks it up and inspects it closely, noting its high-quality craftsmanship and luxurious feel. He turns to the saleswoman, who is helping the fat man, and waits for her to finish.Nathan saw that she seemed free, so he spoke up: "Excuse me, I'm interested in this handbag. Can you tell me more about it?"
The saleswoman is expressing her skepticism toward Nathan. She rolled her eyes and said: "That bag is out of your price range. You can't afford it."
Nathan replied casually: "I understand that it might be expensive, but I would still like to know more about it."
The saleswoman who in a dismissive tone: "Fine, it's a designer bag made of the finest leather, and it has a high price tag to match."
Nathan nodded: "I see, but can you please tell me more about the features and the craftsmanship?"
The saleswoman said rudely: "I don't have time for you; I already told you, you can't afford it. I have real customers to deal with."
Nathan refuted her words: "I'm not going to excuse you. I am a customer and have the right to know about the product."
The saleswoman was fuming with anger as Nathan spoke to her. She felt her blood boil as she prepared to argue back with him.At this time, a young girl, another sale, rushed to them. She was wearing a black blazer with the store's logo and a name tag that read "Caitlin" in her pocket. She approached Nathan and the saleswoman with an apologetic expression.Caitlin said sincerely: "I apologize for the wait, sir. It appears that no one has assisted you yet. I apologize for the oversight; our store's policy is to ensure every customer is served."Nathan tried to hide his frustration as he spoke calmly: "Yes, I've been waiting for a while now."Caitlin, sounding apologetic, said: "I'm not sure why no one has helped you yet, but I'll ensure you receive the assistance you need. Can you tell me what you're looking for today?"In fact, it was the saleswoman's turn to assist Nathan, but she chose to focus on the fat man who she believed would bring her more financial gain. She disregarded Natha
As Nathan announced his purchase, everyone was all shocked. They couldn't believe that Nathan was going through with buying the handbags. Especially the fat man, he felt humiliated.Still stubborn in her belief that Nathan couldn't afford it, the saleswoman looked on in disbelief. The cashier asked, "How would you like to pay for your purchase today?" Nathan replied, "I'll pay with my card, please."The cashier responded, "Great, can I see your card, please?". With a smile, Nathan handed over his card, saying, "Sure, here it is."Everyone in the store couldn't help but stare in shock as Nathan handed over his card. It was made of pure gold. The sight of the golden card turned their surprise into amazement as they realised that Nathan must be someone of great wealth and importance.The cashier instructed Nathan, "Please swipe your card through the machine." Nathan smoothly complied, inserting his card into the machine and passing it through the reader. There was a beep indicating
Nathan approaches Matilda's house gate, his heart racing with excitement. As he gets out of the Uber, he takes a moment to straighten his shirt and pants, feeling self-conscious about his attire. He walks up the driveway, his eyes fixed on the grand house at the end, imagining the fun and laughter that awaits him inside. But, as he gets closer to the gate, he notices a security guard standing in front of the entrance, checking the invitation cards. Nathan takes a deep breath and approaches the guard, trying to appear confident and relaxed.The guard, a tall and burly man with a stern expression, looks Nathan up and down, taking in his simple clothing and shoes. He then glances at the invitation card Nathan holds out to him."I'm sorry, sir. But I'm afraid you're not on the list." The guard says with a tone of disdain.Nathan is taken aback by the guard's response."What do you mean? Matilda invited me. Can you please check again?" He says, trying to keep his voice steady."I've chec
As Nathan went downstairs, he heard a female’s voice echoing through the hall. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to announce that we will have a charity auction here at my birthday party. In just a few minutes, we will auction some truly unique and exclusive items that support a worthy cause. Please all take the time to participate and bid generously. Thank you for your support, and let's make a difference together." He followed the sound and soon saw Matilda standing in the middle of the hall, holding a microphone. A group of well-dressed guests surrounded her. All focused on her words. Nathan made his way to the edge of the crowd and listened as Matilda announced the charity auction that would be taking place at her birthday party. He noticed a platform next to Matilda, on which there was an item covered with a luxurious transparent red cloth. He couldn't tell what was under the fabric, but he could see that something of value caught his attention. With Matilda's announcement of t
Declan was taken aback by Nathan's response. "Excuse me?" he asked. "What do you mean it's not enough?" Nathan looked at Declan sternly. "One more thing. An apology in front of everyone and a face-slap by yourself. Those are my terms." Declan's expression was a mixture of anger and disbelief. "You want me to apologize and slap my face publicly? That's ridiculous!" He couldn't accept losing, moreover, doing such a humiliating thing. "It's not ridiculous. It's necessary," Nathan replied. Declan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Fine." He added more to the deal. "And if you're found to be a scam, not only do you have to spend half of your life to spend one million dollars for me, but you also have to slap your face ten times in front of everyone as a symbol of your apology." Declan never thought that Nathan would have that much money. Therefore, what he just said was to scare Nathan. Moreover, if Nathan were still honorable and accepted his requirement, he would have a million
Nathan remained calm even though everyone was looking at him suspiciously. He calmly said, "I'm afraid I can't do what you asked." "What do you mean? Do you want to back out of your promise? Nathan, you know you can't do that. Everyone here heard you accept the deal. So don't act recklessly. I'm confident everyone here can make your life miserable if you don't keep your word." Declan sneered. Hayleigh added, "Nathan, I knew you were trouble before, but I never thought you would be this foolish." Many onlookers agreed with Declan's statement. "It's not my fault," Nathan replied. Declan laughed, "So now you're blaming it on someone else? You can't change anything here, Nathan. Admit your mistake!" Nathan looked at the butler and calmly said, "Can you please recheck your systems? I think there might be an error." He turned to Declan and continued, "You know, sometimes the system can have errors when many high-value transactions are happening simultaneously." The butler hesitated,
The atmosphere at the party shifts dramatically after Nathan's victory over Declan. Whispers fill the air as the attendees buzz with excitement and astonishment. Nathan stands in the center of it all, his demeanor composed and unyielding. Matilda, visibly impressed by Nathan's integrity and quick thinking, approaches him with a grateful smile. "Nathan, I must admit, you surprised me," Matilda says, her voice laced with admiration. "I don't expect you to handle the situation so skillfully. You prove yourself to be a person of honor." "Thank you, Matilda. I believe in fairness and trust, even in the face of adversity. It's essential to maintain integrity, especially in situations like these," Nathan nods appreciatively, still trying to figure out why she suddenly wants to talk to him. "Declan's behavior is disappointing, but it reveals his true character. It's unfortunate, as he was once considered a close friend. But your victory, Nathan, highlights the strength of your character," M
Nathan stands there, momentarily taken aback by Emily's formal greeting. He quickly recovers and offers her a warm smile, trying to ease the tension in the room. "Good morning, Emily," Nathan replies, his voice filled with genuine kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you too. I'm glad to have you here as our company's scholar." Emily raises her head slightly, her eyes still filled with uncertainty. "Thank you, Mr. Jimenez. I appreciate the opportunity." He just stands there in front of her, not saying anything when the Dean suddenly speaks again. “If Mr. Jimenez would like to, can you tour Emily around if it's not a burden?” The Dean states with hesitation but smiles widely after Nathan nods in agreement. After the door opens, Emily is still in a state of hesitation before going out. Nathan tours her in every corner of the school, but he can notice the way Emily tries to distance herself. It’s almost as if he has some contagious disease. “Emily, what’s—” He is just about to ask Emil
On the world stage, this young man is preparing to take flight in a way that will shock the world. And this kind of tennis is like adding wings to his dreams. "America team wins, 3-2, change sides." During the side change, Nathan's steps remained steady, despite the intensity of his running causing him to breathe lightly. He knew that his tennis had undergone changes and breakthroughs, but he understood that it wasn't enough for the World Cup final. The opponent wouldn't easily give up hope of victory, and there seemed to be something they were hiding from him. With this knowledge, Nathan became even more cautious and determined. He was well aware of the difficulties he had faced to reach this point, and he was determined not to lose here. A newfound feeling of determination washed over him, leaving him with only one obsession—to win! As he lifted his head, the youth's eyes shone brightly, captivating everyone around him. "Today, Nathan looks remarkably different," Aryan from
Well, now the cleaned uniforms are back in their hands.Holding Zeach's uniform, which he often spat on but actually treasured, Nathan raised the corners of his lips slightly.Gary Bowers raised an eyebrow, "When did Nathan learn to be so out of his depth, huh?" And in the nick of time.The uniforms of each school, which were selected, made the camp colorful and vibrant, with a youthful and enthusiastic atmosphere."Is it possible that everyone in the First Army from No. 11 to No. 20 were eliminated by these junior high school students?" The high school students asked, with deep fear, "That's terrible." They're just junior high school students, but they managed to eliminate the NO.11-NO.20 of this camp.After putting on the uniform, the vice-captain who was always on the move and never allowed to fail seemed to be back.It was difficult to catch such a ball in a hurry. But even so, the yellow ball was held firmly in front of the two of them, and could not be moved any further."So tha
"The game's over, isn't it?" Efrain from the side of the field comes over with a smile on his back. Coach Gideon, who was wearing the NO.4 badge on the newcomer's lapel, agreed to this without any argument, smiling in a way that made it hard to tell what he was thinking. "Yeah." The NO.3 next to him, Watanabe, replied with a smooth smile. The others are back with their badges, but... There's one missing. Nathan didn't answer, he just gripped his racket tightly, stared in the direction of the ball, and hit it back without hesitation. However, the strength of his opponent didn't make Nathan flinch or hesitate, but rather, he became more and more excited by this powerful stimulus. If that's true, then this little guy, Nathan, is even more interesting than he thought. "Huh?" Nathan looked up. "Is it the coaches' idea to have people from each stadium come out to greet you on the way?" The No. 1 of the Japanese Expedition Team, and truly the strongest person in this training program,
In an instant, all the gentleness in the face of his companions and friends was put away, and on the court, Archer's powerful aura swept across the field like Nathan's storm, without a word of nonsense, "So, let's begin."Gary Bowers had his finger between his eyes, his powers of observation were as amazing as ever, "Looks like the chosen one wasn't the only one who left." In addition to Nathan, several others had disappeared."What about you, Efrain?" Nathan was a little puzzled by his generosity, he'd been assigned to challenge the First Army, and he'd let him go so easily?Nathan's heart was still in the face of the flirtation, his attention, now, all focused on the man who had just entered, "No, thank you, Efrain."He came here to challenge an army of men, why is he waiting for someone else?And Nathan's match was one of the best, if not the best, of all of them.Finn Porter smiled a little, "It's called winning with strength." Nathan, he was afraid that more people would find out
"... Why does it feel like I'm not being comforted at all." Ellis Terry had a bitter face.First things first, the revolution, it's about to begin!"The man who goes out there and wins," Dylan says with conviction, "is the man who can only win and not lose." Otherwise, there's no revolution."I sent him back to reflect on himself, " Dylan's usual serious expression, as if he hadn't been the one who'd just ranted in the hallway, "I've got something for you.""Maximize the opportunity?" Dylan frowned, what did Coach Enrique mean by that.And the warmth, where it's just the body."Goff," Carson Boggs said with a deliberate look on his face as he held his racket, "I am not going to lose to you.""Eh!" Louis Ruiz was shocked to see the empty corridor with only pillows left on the floor... there was someone there, and they ran away so fast? !Ellis Terry didn't get to play ping-pong, but on the tennis court, even if it was just a practice match, she had a great time.And sure enough, Dylan
"Haha, it's normal, even Kansai and Shloma, have some very different Nathan customs." Ellis Terry waved his hand dismissively, "Not to mention you're not Japanese." He smiled, "If I just listened to you talk, it would be hard to tell."Nathan was stunned, "How did you know?" He and Finn, Porter and Marisa hadn't been standing in plain sight, and they'd been spotted one after another."Carson Boggs is here too." Finn Porter radically skims right over Kanzuki, grinning as he looks aside at Carson Boggs.Although Nathan often felt that Kanzuki's way of thinking was different from his own, he didn't have a bad impression of Kanzuki, just because Kanzuki took care of Carson Boggs, he couldn't possibly have a bad impression of Kanzuki, after all, Carson Boggs may be simple, but the youngster still had his own set of judgment criteria as to whether others were true or false to him. After all, although Carson Boggs was a bit simple, the young boy still had his own set of criteria for judging
"Because these flowers are more adaptable to their environment, they're easier to maintain," Archer said as he also picked up the pot of daisies, smiling softly, "It's nice to be able to bring plants with me, they wilted at one point when I was in the hospital." He said with great relief, "I almost didn't think it could be saved.""Ellis Terry, that was a textbook move back there."Nathan paused, "Ah." Finn Porter didn't mention it, but then he remembered why he hadn't gotten to the hot springs until now."Oh, well." Finn Porter stood up as well, knocking on the edge of the top bunk offhand, "Nathan?""Ah." Nathan thought that life on the cliffs would be interesting if it didn't involve being chased by monsters and wild bees and eagles.The U-22 camp is a first class camp with a large area, state-of-the-art facilities, and a wide range of amenities.This is a surprise from heaven, okay?"Eh?" Ellis Terry sounded a bit strange, "Didn't you go to the spa on purpose, how could you not kn
After mentally shaking his head in disbelief, Nathan admonished Maximo once more, "So neither Archer nor Finn is the young master's wife, is that clear?" And don't say it again, or he'll feel like he can't look his master and his best friend in the face. Not to mention the inexplicable feeling of weakness, which Maximo had nothing to do with!"Right." Nathan thought his education was paying off, seeing as how even a demon who didn't understand human society could understand if he was spoken to properly.Nathan reached out and bopped the little tengu on the head, "Now you get it all, don't you?" What's he good at, swatting birds?Wait a minute, this is killing him, he seems to have gotten Maximo's mind turned around, how did he get to the point of marrying which one, back to the point back to the point, "Maximo," Nathan thinks this is long enough and explains it clearly enough, "they're both friends of mine, and it's not polite to treat them like that, you have to treat them with respe
"It's hard to describe." Nathan thought for a moment, "Probably something like a bird in a hunting coat."Nathan didn't answer right away, nor did he stop Ellis Terry's enthusiasm, "Now there's more than George in the dormitory, even if I'm not here, he won't be lonely, right?" He said and pulled out a transparent box from his bed, and was about to hand it to Tail Red in front of him to introduce him to his new friend, when he looked at the size difference between Tail Red and George, he suddenly remembered a problem, and somewhat hesitantly took the box back and hugged it in his arms, "Wait, Tail Red wouldn't be able to eat Unicorns, would he?""What, again, is all this hustle and bustle?" Finn Porter was also pleased with the facilities at the U-17 camp, and seemed to be in a good mood.While Nathan and Archer were talking, Finn Porter came out of the shower and changed his clothes, and now that he's dressed, he's a smiling, clean-cut teenager again.But Ellis Terry isn't that bad l
