Chapter 327
Marcus’s words were followed by a brief silence before Adrian and the others burst into laughter.
Adrian shook his head, looking at Marcus as though he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. “Oh, really He can afford it? Then tell me, what’s the name of the wine she wanted p>
Erena immediately answered. “Louis XIII p>
Ryan burst out laughing. “Louis XIII? Are you kidding me? That’s a thirty-thousand-dollar bottle of cognac
He pointed at Kylan, laughing harder. “I swear, this guy can never afford it! Thirty thousand dollars for a bottle! Someone who doesn’t even own a house? Someone who lives in a cheap apartment? I can bet my entire fortune that he can’t afford it p>
Daniel chuckled, shaking his head. “Maybe he can afford a bottle of ordinary wine from the supermarket p>
Adrian laughed along with them. “Come on, look at him. Does he look like someone who can afford thirty thousand dollars? He’s probably struggling to pay his rent. Yet he’s walking around pretending to be some wealthy celebrity p>
Their voices were becoming increasingly loud, attracting the attention of several guests nearby. Some turned around to see what was happening, while others moved closer, curious about the commotion.
Adrian noticed the growing audience and immediately decided to make things even worse.
“Everyone, look at this!” he announced, pointing toward Kylan. “This poor guy has been hitting on my girlfriend, and that’s not even the worst part. He forged his invitation just to get inside this gathering. Now, he and his companion are pretending they can afford things they clearly cannot p>
A few people laughed.
“Can you imagine?” Adrian continued. “He comes here with a borrowed Ferrari, a fake invitation and a man pretending to be his driver. Now they want everyone to believe they’re wealthy enough to compete with us p>
The laughter grew louder.
Kylan’s face darkened. He wanted to say something, but the situation had become so ridiculous that he didn’t even know where to begin.
Marcus, however, finally stepped forward.
“What about this?” he asked calmly.
Adrian turned toward him. “What p>
“Let’s play a game p>
Marcus glanced at the people gathered around before looking directly at Adrian.
“Since you’re so certain my boss cannot afford anything, let’s put that to the test. Whoever spends the most money here wins. The loser will kneel, bow and apologize to the winner. In front of everyone p>
For a moment, the entire group went silent.
Then Ryan burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha! Did you hear that? He wants to compete with us in spending money p>

Daniel shook his head, laughing. Ethan covered his mouth, while Adrian looked at Marcus with an amused expression.
“Are you actually serious?” Adrian asked. “You want to challenge us p>
“Yes p>
Adrian laughed again.
Meanwhile, Kylan quickly moved closer to Marcus and leaned toward his ear.
“What the hell are you doing?” he whispered anxiously.
Marcus didn’t even turn his head. “Saving your face p>
“Are you out of your mind? Do you know who these people are? They’re the Ultimates! Do you have any idea how much money they can spend?, and you have nothing, you told me you rent that car to impress me p>
Marcus glanced at him briefly.
“Just you chill and watch”
Kylan stared at him. “Watch how we are about to get humiliated, if you are doing this just to impress me. look, I’m impressed enough p>
Marcus simply adjusted his cufflinks.
“Relax”
Kylan swallowed nervously. He had absolutely no idea what Marcus was planning.
Adrian burst into laughter when he noticed Kylan whispering anxiously to Marcus.
“What are you two discussing? Looking for a way out? No backup plan this time!” He pointed at Kylan. “You’re already in this, my friend p>
Ryan chuckled, looking directly at Kylan’s face. “Look at him! He’s already scared. His expression says everything!
Ethan joined in. “I think his rented man has just put him in serious trouble p>
The others burst into laughter.
Marcus glanced at them indifferently. “Will you keep yapping, or are we going to play this game p>
Adrian’s smile widened.
“Alright! Everyone, I hope you’re witnessing this. We have a little competition here, and I wouldn’t want anyone missing what happens next p>
He turned toward the bartender.
“Bring me three bottles of Louis XIII p>
The bartender nodded and immediately went to retrieve the order.
Kylan’s eyes widened.
Three bottles?

He knew exactly how expensive that drink was. One bottle cost thirty thousand dollars, meaning Adrian had just ordered ninety thousand dollars’ worth of cognac.
The surrounding guests began whispering.
“Did he just order three bottles p>
“That’s ninety thousand dollars p>
“This competition is already over. Who can possibly match that p>
Ryan laughed, glancing at Kylan. “You heard that? Ninety thousand dollars. I hope your boss has enough money in his account p>
Soon, three bottles were brought to the counter. Adrian casually picked up his card and paid for the entire order without hesitation.
The guests immediately applauded.
“Wow! That’s impressive p>
“That’s what being wealthy looks like p>
Adrian smiled proudly, clearly enjoying the attention. He glanced at Marcus before turning toward Kylan.
“Well? What’s taking you so long p>
Kylan leaned closer to Marcus, his face filled with anxiety.
“I told you! We’re finished! Three bottles? That’s ninety thousand dollars! Where are we supposed to get that kind of money p>
Marcus ignored him.
Adrian placed his hands on his waist and laughed.
“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Come on, I thought you wanted to compete. Or should I just consider this your defeat p>
He pointed toward the floor.
“Now, get on your knees p>
Marcus finally raised his head.
“Three bottles of Louis XIII?” he asked casually.
Adrian smirked. “Yes. What’s wrong? Too expensive for you p>
Marcus turned toward the bartender.
“Bring me three bottles of Château Mouton Rothschild 1945 p>
The bartender froze.
For a moment, he thought he had misheard.
Even some of the guests nearby turned around sharply.

“Wait… What p>
Château Mouton Rothschild 1945 p>
“Are you serious p>
A few people immediately exchanged astonished looks. It was one of the most prestigious and sought after vintage wines in the world.
Ryan blurted out, “Isn’t that wine worth $100,000 per dollar p>
