Chapter 111 The Ximenez Family Of Jazona A food deliveryman?
Upon hearing Kysonâs words, the crowd burst into peals of laughter.
It was abundantly evident that he was deliberately insulting Jonathan.
âWhy are the lot of you laughing?â At their hysterics, Kyson snorted before retorting, âTell you what, donât look down on the food deliverymen in my production team. I pay them over seven thousand a month! If it werenât for Josephineâs sake, I wouldnât have offered him such a cushy job.â
As his words rang out, the crowdâs laughter grew in volume.
Over seven thousand! It might be an astronomical sum to others, but itâs nothing to us! We effortlessly get paid over ten thousand a month without having to stand in the sun or rain. All weâve got to do is to tap away on the keyboard. Unlike us, heâs only getting five or six thousand a month when heâs running errands for someone else!
In a thrice, contempt brimmed in their eyes.
âYou think itâs a cushy job?â Jonathan threw Kyson a chilly look.
âOf course! Itâs far better than you having to stand in the scorching sun at the construction site yet making less than seven thousand a month, no?â Kyson sneered.
âSince you think that is a cushy job, Iâll pay you ten grand to deliver food to my house every day!â
Jonathan eyed him coldly, drawling, âWhat do you think about that?â
âWhat are you implying?â Kysonâs expression instantly darkened when he saw that the man actually dared talk back to him. âDo you think I look as though Iâm short of ten thousand?â
âThen, do you think I look as though Iâm short of seven thousand?â Jonathan riposted in a glacial voice.
âThatâs the truth, isnât it?â Kyson couldnât help guffawing after hearing that. âI really donât know where you got the courage to act all high and mighty before me when youâve only got a monthly salary of five or six thousand. If it werenât for Josephine, do you think youâve got the right to sit here with us? Every one of us sitting at this table has a net worth of a couple hundred thousand except you. Even the worst of us here makes more than ten thousand a month! Youâve probably never even been here in Empyrean Palace, have you? Actually, have you ever been to such a high-end restaurant or had such an expensive meal?â
âWhat an idiot!â Jonathan scoffed at the manâs pompous attitude, not in the mood to bicker with him.
Heâs no different from an idiot! He thinks Empyrean Palace is considered a high-end restaurant? Then, he must not have seen any high-end restaurants in his life before. Back when I was in Yaleview, a dozen state banquets chefs cooked for me, but I didnât find anything special about the food either.
Whatâs a mere Empyrean Palace in comparison?
âWho are you calling an idiot?â Seeing that he actually dared to call him names, Kyson slammed his hand on the table, seemingly on the verge of flipping his lid. Judging from his posture, he was going to get physical right away if Jonathan were to say a single word that displeased him.
âI said youâre an idiot!â Jonathan enunciated coldly.
âHow dare you?â In a flash, Kyson grabbed a beer bottle and swung it at Jonathanâs head. If the bottle were to find its mark, the man would certainly end up with his head bashed in.
By then, the timider women had already screwed their eyes shut in fright.
Conversely, many of the men had their gazes fixated on Jonathan with anticipation shining brightly in their eyes, fervently hoping that he would be beaten up badly.
Heâs just a gofer at a construction site, yet he dares to act brazenly at such a place? Does he have a death wish?
âYou asked for it!â
Harrumphing, Jonathan lifted his right hand slightly. A mere second before the beer bottle in Kysonâs hand hit his head, he grabbed the manâs wrist.
As he applied a smidge of force, the snapping sound of bones breaking split the air.
âAhh! My hand!
In an instant, Kysonâs agonized wail echoed in the private room. While he was howling in pain, Jonathan lifted his hand and struck him across the face.
The slap was so forceful that one of Kysonâs teeth was almost knocked out.
âYouâre too noisy. Keep it down!â
Then, Jonathan kicked him in the stomach, bringing him to the ground on his knees with a thud.
âHow dare you get physical with him? Do you know who he is?â Right that moment, Clay shot to his feet and pointed an accusing finger at Jonathan.
âDoes it matter?â Casting him an indifferent glance, Jonathan murmured, âI only know that he disrupted my peace.â
âHow dare you!â
Clay pointed at Jonathan, yet he didnât dare do anything.
At the end of the day, they were mere students who had only graduated a few years ago. They had no qualms picking on ordinary people with no power or influence, but in the face of a ruthless man like him who almost killed someone, they were so frightened that they hardly dared to breathe.
âJust you wait! How dare you hit me? Youâre done for!â
Kyson, who was lying on the ground, had struggled up at some point in time. Blood trickled out the corner of his mouth, and he couldnât even remain steady on his feet, yet he didnât forget to threaten Jonathan.
âAre you going to make a call and have someone come to back you up?â Eyeing him apathetically, Jonathan ordered, âIn that case, make it quick. My patience is limited, and I donât have that much time to waste with you!â
âJust you wait!â Kyson shot him a furious glare before he tremblingly picked up his phone and made a call. âHendrick, someone beat me up at Empyrean Palace! Come and save me!â
âWhat? Someone beat you up?â A manâs harsh voice drifted out of the other end of the phone. âHang in there! Iâll come over with some men right away!â
Subsequently, a beep sounded as the man hung up the phone.
Gritting his teeth, Kyson pointed at Jonathan. âYouâre dead! Just stay if youâve got the guts and see whether Iâll send you to meet your maker later!â
âI wonât be leaving. Iâll just stay and wait right here.â To Kysonâs surprise, Jonathan didnât flee. Instead, the man snagged a chair and sat down, even pouring himself a cup of tea.
Meanwhile, Kyson was so livid to see the scene unfolding before his eyes that he almost burst a blood vessel.
Hmph, go ahead and continue acting all high and mighty! Youâll be getting it later, you punk!
âJosephine, is Jonathan usually t-that v-violent?â Tanya stammered softly, tugging at Josephineâs sleeve.
Oh God, he almost gave me a heart attack!
âHe doesnât usually act in such a manner.â Josephine felt a headache coming on.
I only wanted to bring him to a class reunion with me. I never thought that he would end up brawling in mere minutes! While Kysonâs words were rather nasty, he was still too impulsive!
âJosephine, you should really advise Jonathan to make a run for it quickly. I heard that Kysonâs brother is a notorious ruffian in Jazona and has dozens to a hundred lackeys! If he continues to tarry, itâll be too late!â Tanya urged, whispering into Josephineâs ear.
âMake a run for it? Is that even possible?â Although Tanyaâs voice was barely audible, the conversation was still overheard by a woman with heavy makeup beside her. The woman curled her lips and drawled, âHow could anyone take off after beating Kyson up? The Ximenez family is not to be trifled with, you know? Do you know how powerful they are in Jazona?â
