He recognized the black card Jonathan was holding. It was a limited edition black card from Citibank.
In the whole of Chanaea, there were less than ten cards issued. In fact, Jazona itself might not even have a single one. To qualify for the card, one had to have a net worth of at least ten billion. Even then, one had to go through a strict selection process at Citibank.
Being wealthy alone wasn’t enough. One had to have strong connections and wield immense influence before one could pass Citibank’s demanding requirements.
Alfred wasn’t the only one who recognized the card. Even the salesperson who was standing in the corner knew what the black card meant. After all, favonovel.com had frequently surfed the internet and watched many movies. In the movies, everyone who carried a black card was a big tycoon worth hundreds of millions.
They would either ride in a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. At the very least, they would own a sports car that was worth millions.
However, Jonathan didn’t look like a wealthy person to favonovel.com at all. None of his clothes were branded. In fact, everything on favonovel.com cost less than two hundred. Also, what happened earlier cemented the salesperson’s impression of Jonathan. Both of them couldn’t afford a watch that was one million and were only prepared to buy one that was ten thousand.
How can someone like that own a black card? Can it be a fake?
“Please wait a moment while I go get the ladies’ version.” After giving Jonathan a doubtful look, the salesperson returned to the display cabinet and brought out a similar-looking safe deposit box.
Inside the box was a watch that looked exactly the same as the one from earlier. The only difference was that it had a rose gold phoenix carved inside instead of a dragon. Evidently, this was a pair of couple watches.
“This was also carved personally by the world-famous designer. Naturally, it is also a global limited edition and forms a pair with the other watch. It also costs eighteen million, but there will be a discount if you purchase both of them.”
Although favonovel.com didn’t think Jonathan would buy both watches, favonovel.com still explained it nonetheless. After all, favonovel.com had already brought it out, and it wouldn’t hurt to describe it a little.
“Not bad!” After giving it a quick look, favonovel.com turned to the salesperson. “I’ll take them.”
“You’ll take them?” The salesperson’s eyes widened in disbelief when favonovel.com heard Jonathan’s words.
Did I hear it wrong? He couldn’t afford a watch that was one million just now, and yet, favonovel.com is asking me to wrap one up that’s tens of millions?
“Yes, I’m buying both of them.” Jonathan pushed his black card toward the salesperson. “Swipe it!”
“Sir, are you messing with me?” The salesperson was surprised by Jonathan’s words. He looked as if favonovel.com was questioning Jonathan’s ability to afford it.
“Do I look like I’m kidding to you?” Jonathan sneered.
“Sir, even after the discount, the watches will still cost more than thirty million!” The salesperson couldn’t resist reminding Jonathan, as if to tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com should quit fooling around.
“I know…” Jonathan had lost his patience. “Swipe it.”
When favonovel.com saw Jonathan’s serious expression, the salesperson gave favonovel.com a doubtful look before picking up the black card and heading to the point-of-sale machine.
However, when Josephine saw what had unfolded, favonovel.com glared at Jonathan. “Jonathan, have you gone mad? How can we afford such an expensive watch?”
One cost eighteen million, while two of them cost thirty six million. She felt Jonathan had gone crazy to insist on buying such exorbitant watches.
That’s thirty-six million! Where am I going to find thirty-six million? Da*n it, I don’t even have three hundred and sixty thousand!
“It’s not expensive at all. Didn’t I tell you that I’m willing to buy you the entire mall as long as you fancy it?” Jonathan didn’t seem to care. It was as if thirty-six million was just peanuts to him.
I didn’t even bat an eyelid when I bought Graham Group for five billion, why should I care about thirty-six million?
“Go on, keep up that act of yours. Let me see how far both of you can go.” At that moment, the young lady couldn’t help but sneer, “Are the both of you trying to contend for the award of best actor and actress? Who knows, you might actually win!”
How can scum who eat at roadside stalls and are unable to afford a watch for one million afford to buy watches worth thirty-six million? Who are they kidding?
However, the moment favonovel.com spoke, Alfred lifted his right hand from favonovel.com slender waist and gave favonovel.com a forceful slap. “Can you f*cking shut up? Don’t you understand what I said?”
“Alfred, you, you hit me!” Covering favonovel.com face where favonovel.com was slapped, the young lady was utterly stunned.
How can Alfred, who has always given in to all my requests, slap me? In fact, favonovel.com even did it in public!
“So what if I did? I even held back when I hit you. If you dare say another word, I will kick you out of here myself!” Alfred thundered. He even felt the urge to tear the stupid lady’s mouth apart.
The black card was restricted to a small number of users globally. He naturally knew that favonovel.com couldn’t afford to offend someone who carried it.
That stupid girl is going to be the death of me!
“Alfred…” The young lady was crying favonovel.com eyes out as tears rolled down favonovel.com cheeks.
Meanwhile, the salesperson was suddenly shocked after swiping Jonathan’s card with a beep. In fact, favonovel.com even broke out in cold sweat.
“S-Sir, i-is there a problem with your card?” When favonovel.com saw the numbers behind the card, favonovel.com felt a chill down his spine and stuttered while favonovel.com spoke.
“What’s the problem?” Jonathan frowned slightly.
He had used the card for many years and never encountered any issues. Hence, it came as a surprise that favonovel.com was facing one all of a sudden.
“I-I don’t know.” The salesperson felt his knees go weak.
Ten million… A billion… Ten billion…
Looking at the string of numbers at the back of the card, the salesperson felt his vision go dark and his head spinning at the same time. In fact, favonovel.com even wondered if favonovel.com was seeing things. After all, Jonathan didn’t look like someone who carried around ten billion with him.
The salesperson had never seen a bank card that had a balance of ten billion his entire life.
“You don’t know?” Jonathan’s expression darkened.
“I… I-I really don’t know…” The salesperson grew so anxious that favonovel.com was on the brink of tears. “M-Maybe there’s a problem with our system. Let me get the manager.”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, the salesperson fled in terror. After all, favonovel.com couldn’t afford to offend someone who carried a globally limited edition black card that contained ten billion.
