Bill was going to continue when a knock resounded in the private room and he said casually, "Come in!"
Five beauties enter the rooms in a row, in their fair hands were trays full of aromatic dishes. They gracefully arranged those dishes on the table one by one with a radiant smile on their faces.
Between setting the dishes those beauties 'wink' toward Ace with a tingle of blush on their faces. He was extremely handsome and Bill seems like some toad hunkering in his presence.
Yet, alas Ace was like a rock and didn't even blink at their 'special signal' because in his viewpoint these girls were extremely average compared to Eva. It was like he was immune to these 'beauties.'
Ace's central focus was on those delicious-looking dishes. After all, he was traveling in the wild for years and only eat roasted meat, and even before never smells or saw food this good before. He salivates for the first time after he becomes a cultivator!
On the other hand, Bill narrows his eyes as he becomes disconcerted and a little angry after observing; those beauties looking at only Ace like some prey and ignoring him like he was some stone in the presence of a crystal.
'This Young Master is the most outstanding genius of lands of cities and they dare to ignore me! Unforgivable!'
Bill takes a glance at Ace and saw him completely ignoring those five 'blind' girls and become even more ashamed.
Bill pulls a long face while saying, "You five can go now and send some male servants to bring Jade Wine." After, he thought proudly, 'Since you dare to ignore this young master see how I deal with you. Hmph!'
Subsequently, receiving Bill's command those five maidservants glare daggers at Bill first and left grudgingly after taking a final glimpse of Ace's handsome face. This tode didn't even give them any chance to serve this Suave Young Master, how could they not be resentful?
Bill pretends to not notice those five beauties' hostile glare and cough to hide his embarrassment before saying, "Brother Asher please help yourself. These dishes are made by 3rd Qi Gate realm demonic beast and taste best while still hot." He introduces those steaming dishes to Ace, "This is your brother's treat so don't be shy."
Ace also didn't stand on ceremony either and begun to eat. After taking a bite his eyes widened a little and a hint of delight flash in his eyes, 'This flavor is out of this world! They deserve their reputation as the number one restaurant of the lands of cities.' He devours the meat even faster.
Bill grin broadly, watching Ace's delightful expression and felt it was worth it to bring his new friend here. 'No one can resist good food after all. Heh.'
After they were done eating, Ace has a blissful expression on his face. He never eats something this good before and really enjoys it.
'From now on I should enjoy these kind delicacies more since I have so much wealth. What is the point in being constantly on edge? Just like the system said I'm a free thief!' Ace considered seriously and begins to understand what it truly means to be 'free'!
Ace was deep in thought when Bill claps his hands and the door open, two manservants enter with a tray of a white transparent wine bottle and wine cups.
Bill's eyes instantly brighten seeing the wine bottle, "Leave the wine bottle and scram!" He didn't care about those manservants at all.
Those servants didn't mind Bill's blunt tone and do as he says. It was very normal after all they were in the number one restaurant of the lands of cities so almost all the customers who can afford to eat here were arrogant to the extreme.
Ace grimaces a little but didn't say anything, he can't expect to everyone be like him, right?
Bill didn't notice Ace's frown since all his focus was on the white wine bottle that looks like jade. "Brother Asher this is the jade wine! Only VIPs can order this wine and you can only get one bottle on the third floor. If you want to drink more of this you have to go to the higher floors. But I can't since my cultivation isn't enough." He said regretfully.
Ace's eyebrows lifted a little hearing this. He didn't think, just to drink wine one has to be a VIP and was astonished by this restaurant's way of dealing with different kinds of people. Now he was quite interested in this wine.
Bill quickly open the wooden lid of the wine bottle and a sweet aroma spread in the air. Ace sniff the aroma and felt a hot feeling arouse.
Bill pours clear crystal-like wine in two crystalline wine cups, "Brother Asher this cup is in your welcome." He picks a cup and gestures toward Ace.
Ace didn't reject Bill's courtesy and pick the other cup, "Thank You."
Both of them drink at the same.
The wine enters Ace's mouth and a strong sweet yet sour flavor explodes within, "Good Wine!" He couldn't help but praise this wine even he never drinks wine before.
"Hahaha, Brother Asher really knows the taste of good wine. Let me pour you another cup." Bill laughs heartily and filled Ace's cup again.
Ace didn't reject it and drink again. He was really enjoying this wine, they were Qi in it but for Ace only taste matters since this Qi can't affect his cultivation. Even if it can, it would be neglected since he's a Heavenly Foundation Realm Cultivator!
After a few cups, Bill's face was bright red and his eyes were a little hazy, he was drunk even with his Peak Qi Gate cultivation. On the other hand, Ace was completely sober this wine does not affect him because of his HD-Qi.1
Ace looked at the empty bottle of wine and felt little regret since he can't enjoy that strong taste anymore. He saw Bill was completely drunk and smile, 'This guy is not bad.'
Ace claps his hand like Bill and those two manservants enter again, "Where's the bill?" He asked.
Those two saw this handsome young man completely fine after drinking the jade wine and were surprised by this, but they didn't dare to delay and one of them take a palm-size paper slip and handed it to Ace respectfully while saying, "Young master your total bill is 40,000 Ruby Coins."
Ace was a little surprised, forty thousand for a meal was not a small amount at all. He saw that paper slip and on it was a detailed account. 'That wine alone cost twenty-five thousand ruby coin. Heh, What an extravagance.'
"B-brother Asher what are you doing?? It's my treat!" Bill quickly said it seems he was a little sober up now. After all, he was a cultivator.
Ace smiles and pays the bill with a hundred-thousand ruby crystal card, "Don't worry you did treat me with all these delicacies, and to show my gratitude let me pay." He didn't give Bill any chance to reject and signal those two to take it.
Bill wanted to oppose but was still drunk so it was already too late. After the payment was done they both left in toe.
Bill was now completely sober, "Brother Asher you didn't take me as a friend at all." He was quite bitter and ashamed.
"Don't worry you can pay next time." Ace chuckles lightly. He didn't care about Bill's remonstrance.
"You're really not like all those overbearing mutts. Sigh…' Bill sighs helplessly. He can't see through this friend of his.
"It's already late I should get going. Let meet again if fate permits." Ace said with a smile. It was time to leave maybe he won't be able to see this naïve guy again. He still didn't consider Bill a friend but not an outsider either.
Bill didn't think much of it, since Ace was still in the city he can find him anytime, "Farewell Brother Asher, I hope we'll meet again."
Ace take another road and vanished between the masses.
'What a peculiar fellow.' Bill recalled with a chuckle and be on his way as well.
After Ace and Bill left the Jade Pavilion, on the top floor of the building.
There was only a huge hall on the entire floor and was quite lavishing at that. The whole floor was decorated with jade and expensive marble.
In the center was a red jade round table with beautiful patterns. Around it was only four chairs.
Currently, two middle-aged men with lavishing robes were occupying two chairs.
"Why did the Pavilion Master summon us here at such short notice?" The middle-aged man with a long beard mumbled confusingly.
"What's the hurry, Colton? Don't tell me you're dissatisfied?" The middle age with a deep scar on his left cheek sneers at Colton. It was clear these two didn't get along.
"You dare to slander me, Wes?!" Colton was a short temper person and on top of that didn't get along with Wes.
Therefore, after seeing Wes smirking face he was going to attack when he felt a mountain-like pressure. His heart jolt and quickly stands down.
Even Wes shut his mouth and his face turn ashen after feeling that mountain-like pressure.
However, the next moment that huge force vanished, and a graceful figure walk into the grand hall.
