Dragon Master

The door was opened slowly.
In that moment, Marcus and others felt their breath caught in their throats as if the door was not to this room but to the hell.
“If it's Jonathan, we will all be screwed”
Franklin murmured, shivering. The back of his shirt was soaked with sweat.
Humphrey's swollen face started twitching when thinking of how he got humiliated by Jonathan, and he was extremely
frightened.
But Maximilian remained calm and looked at the door with great interest. He could not help laughing when he saw the beautiful
waitress smiling behind the door.
“Haha, it’s just a waitress. Why are you all so nervous?”
Hearing Maximilian’s laughing, they all found it harsh and sarcastic.
“No one is nervous, you idiot! You are in no place to talk. If you keep doing it, we won't be so polite to you!"
Franklin feigned fierceness to hide the fear inside him.

Humphrey looked confused because they didn’t even finishing ordering, but the waitress already started serving foods.
“We haven't ordered yet. Are you sure you entered the right room?” Humphrey asked.
“There's no mistake. It's Manager Thomas's order”
The leading waitress answered with a smile and put the dishes on the table, “This is the Sweet Abalone”
The two-headed Abalones were placed neatly in a big plate, piled up like a mountain.
Humphrey was stunned when he saw them.
He had only heard of this dish before and believed it would cost dozens of thousand at least.
If other dishes were as expensive as it, Humphrey believed he would go bankrupt scon.
“This is Scallion-flavored Sea Cucumbers. “
“This is Black Truffle with Goose Liver. “

“This is...
They were all shocked by these exquisite dishes.
These dishes cost at least worth two million, which was beyond their expectation.
Humphrey thought of something and started looking through the menu. He stopped at the page of Emperor's Feast.
His hands started shaking as he looked at the stunning price on the menu.
“Are you... serving us the Emperor's Feast? ”
“Yes. This is the complete set of Emperor's Feast”
The pretty waitress placed a bottle of wine on the table, and said, “Should I open this 90's La Romanee-Conti now?”
Humphrey almost lost his mind because it was 90s La Romanee-conti, which at least cost 50 thousand dollars a bottle.
“I didn't order it. How could you make the decision for us? I won't pay the bills!” Humphrey decided to deny this feast.

Because the Emperor's Feast was at least worth 1.5 million dollars, which was almost half of his total assets!
Although Humphrey was a rich man, he didn't have enough cash to pay for such a fancy dinner.
Therefore, instead of going bankrupt after the meal, he thought it was better to refuse the bills.
Marcus looked at the luxury food on the table. Although he'd like to stay, he just cannot hurt Humphrey when he saw price on
the menu.
“Humphrey's right. You serve food even before we finish ordering!” Marcus said.
The waitress smiled and took a bow, “It's the manager's order. He will be here soon and he will answer your questions”
The manager of Lasdun? It could be none other than Thomas.
Hearing that Thomas was coming, Marcus's heart sank and felt something wrong.
No one in this room had met Thomas before, and they only heard tales of this mysterious man.
“Why would Thomas come and bring so many dishes to us? I assume the food will probably cost more than one million dollars”

Marcus said with suspicion and cast a sweeping glance of everyone around the table.
“About 2 million dollars with the wines served.” Humphrey said in a low voice.
Iris shot a glare at Maximilian and said with dissatisfaction, “It was definitely arranged by Jonathan! He wants to humiliate us
when we are unable to pay the bills and use Thomas to punish us”
“What!” Marcus and others gasped and found it quite reasonable.
“That sounds reasonable. When Thomas comes, we should flatter him, especially Maximilian! If you say anything stupid again,
then don’t blame me for your punishment!”
Marcus glared at Maximilian, worrying that this man might do stupid things later. If they offended Thomas, they would be totally
screwed.
“l won't say anything.” Maximilian shut his mouth.
Marcus felt relieved. Then he heard footsteps and stood up in haste.
“Manager, I didn't expect that you would come. I should have welcomed you at the door”

Marcus said humbly.
“It's good to see you, Mr. Thomas. I'm Humphrey of DK Investment. We actually have met once in a party. I have been admiring
you for a long time” Humphrey said with respect.
Franklin and others started to flatter Thomas.
Thomas was smiling and nodding at whoever was speaking to him, which seemed to be a boss who was speculating his
employees.
However, he would cast a glance at Maximilian from time to time. Noticing that Maximilian was silent, he was somehow afraid.
He wondered if there was anything wrong with the food.
He was frightened and wanted to finish his job and left as soon as possible.
“You are so polite. These foods are all free! Please enjoy yourself”
Marcus, Humphrey and others gasped and found it so unbelievable!

Shouldn't it be Jonathan's scheme?
Why did the foods turn out to be free?
Mr. Thomas just sent them these exquisite food and wine, which was worth 4 million for fee?
Or was he so rich that he didn't care about it?
Even the cost of food ingredients was at least 1 million dollars.
“We're truly blessed. But Manager Thomas, may I ask why do we have this honor to enjoy a free fancy dinner?” Marcus asked
tentatively.
The others all gasped, waiting for Thomas's answer.
“This dinner is for Mr. Lee”
Thomas said smilingly, his eyes narrowed.
