Chapter 822
“Vulgar, absolutely no manners p>
However, his voice was barely above a whisper.
Jax wanted to throw a punch, but Mira stopped him.
Being far from home, she didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Reluctantly, the man walked over and began loading their luggage onto the carts.
The Iron Wolves followed closely behind him, taunting, “Why aren’t you smiling? You were giving everyone else service with a smile a minute ago.
What, suddenly you can’t understand human speech? Since you’re so clueless, I guess you won’t mind if we keep insulting you, right p>
The server was speechless.
Suppressing his anger, he shot back in fluent, flawless Mavarian, “First time out of the country? You’d better keep a low profile out here.
It’s not like I’m refusing to serve you. What gives you the right to insult me p>
After saying his piece, he repeated the exact same thing in English.
From then on, he adamantly refused to speak his native tongue.
Just a few sentences in, his confidence returned, and he used English to mock Mira and her group. “This is a foreign country. Haven’t you ever heard of ‘when in Rome’? Speak an international language p>
Seeing no reaction from them, he sneered, “Heh, I knew you couldn’t speak it. Bunch of hicks p>
Furious, Jax raised his fist to hit him again, but Mira held him back.
“He’s just a nobody p>
They were on foreign soil; picking a fight was unwise.
“Haha, this is great. Going abroad is way more entertaining than staying in school.” Wesley remarked.
Mira naturally understood the server perfectly, but she insisted on replying in Mavarian.
“Judging by your accent, you’re from Aethelgard. Couldn’t make a living back home, so you ran off to work odd jobs abroad p>
The server seemed to take immense pride in this; his scowl lifted, and he boasted in heavily accented English, “Who says I couldn’t make a living? I’m here because I actually had the means to come.
I sold out my tenure and my house just to get here. Do you have any idea how many people would kill to be in my shoes p>
Hearing his arrogant tone, Jax’s fists clenched again.
Mira extended a hand to block him. “He’s just a nobody, why stoop to his level p>
“Keep that filthy mouth running, and I’ll scatter your teeth across the lobby p>
Jax threatened menacingly.
“Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue p>
Seeing the intimidating glares from Jax and Silas Vane, the man’s bravado faltered.
But it didn’t take long for his smugness to return.
“The air here is so much cleaner. I’d rather be a beggar here than slave away for a dead-end salary back home. This is true freedom, but what would you know about it p>
“Right, right. When you become the boss of The Syndicate, I’ll be sure to come work for you p>
Wesley mocked with a heavy sigh.
Housing prices back home had
already appreciated and were projected to skyrocket Pensions were rising, while people like this guy were genuinely destined to end up with nothing.
“When the domestic economy booms and surpasses this place, and you’re stuck here with no degree and no real career, are you going to regret it p>
“What kind of fantasy are you living in? Surpass? How many capable people like me actually stay?
How could they ever surpass anything? The only ones left behind are the poor p>
He glanced back at Mira’s group-dressed in designer brands, exuding elegance and undeniable wealth, Remembering that only the truly rich could afford to stay at this hotel, a flicker of pure jealousy flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly found a way to comfort his bruised ego.
“Actually, you guys are just here trying to pull some strings to secure a way to stay, aren’t you p>
Beatrice hid her laugh behind her
hand. Before Mira could even
answer the man continued, “Take
back what you just said,
ton v

krices and apologize to me, and “
might forgive you.
I might even give you a few tips to help you stay p>
Far from angry, Mira found the sheer absurdity of his words hilarious.
“You p>
But Jax had reached his limit. Hearing the word “kneel,” his knuckles cracked as he
prepared to feed the guy a fistful of justice.
One sharp look from Mira stopped him in his tracks.
“Why bother with someone like this? He’s completely out of his mind p>
The man frowned deeply. “Who are you calling out of your mind?
My name is Gene Kingsley. My English name is Mike p>
“Gene? Sounds more like a germ. No, a germ is too strong. You’re just a parasite,
haha p>
