Britney encouraged them to drink up some more and looked at her boyfriend, Matt. “You too!” she spoke. “You have to drink more, you hear that?”

Annoyance spiked in Matt’s heart but a smile was still plastered on his face. “Definitely, my dear! I’ll listen to whatever you ask me to,” he responded.

After a while, everybody finally entered the lobby hall of the Lotus Bar and Lounge. The lobby was on the first floor, and the atmosphere was lively. Jack and the others found a private room and sat inside.

This private room was separated from the outside with tempered glass in between. Whatever happened outside the private room could be seen, but this could be resolved by pulling the curtain on the tempered glass.

“Dear Sirs and Madams, if you’d like to use this private room, the minimum consumption will be 50 thousand dollars. The price in this menu is for your reference when you’re ordering snacks and alcohol!” A lovely server approached the group, showing the group her most beautiful smile. “There’s no time limit, so you may have fun here until the sunrise!” the server continued.

“Jack, you don’t think this is expensive, do you? Since there are a lot of us, a small private room can’t fit us all. Moreover, we really want to help to save some hard-earned money of yours, so we’ve no choice but to pick a medium-sized private room.” Carl said as he sat down and lying her leg over and across the other leg, an indifferent smile surfaced on his face.

“I think it’d be so much better if we go to the opulent big private room. They got a top-notch soundproof system there, and it’s on the second floor too. You could watch everything from above like a king overseeing his kingdom! The best part there is a grand piano inside that big private room. Selena was an excellent pianist back then, and she graduated from The Bachelor Fine Arts in Dance! It’s been a

long time since we’ve seen her dancing and playing the piano!” Rachel, on the other hand, whined unhappily about their room size.

“You’re right. We’ve all graduated from the Fine Arts faculty. Unfortunately, I do think that the luxury big private room is a little too much for us. Besides, I heard that the minimum consumption in that huge room is a million!” Rosa chimed in with her own opinion, smiling bitterly. “My current pay is around 10 thousand at most. I can only go there once if I stopped drinking and eating and instead, work my butt off for 10 years.” Rosa then turned around, facing Carl and asked, “Oh right! How’re you doing now, Carl?”

Carl offered a small smile and replied to Rosa in a pretentious humble manner, “How am I doing? Nah. I’m doing so-so, just a shareholder of a tiny company. Annual income plus the bonus will be around 10 million dollars or so. I could only visit the big-sized private room in Lotus at most 10 times in a year.”

“My goodness! I never thought that you were this successful! You’re amazing!” Rachel responded in a surprising tone, “There are so many employees in my husband’s factory, but the net earning is also around 10 million.”

Rosa, with an envious expression over her feature, looked at Hugh and asked, “How about you, Hugh? You were helping in your folks’ hypermarket store, right?”

Hugh smiled abashedly. “Yup, the same old job,” he meekly replied. “We used to have only three stores, but now we’ve managed to expand to another seven stores. It’s enough for house expenses, I’d say.” Hugh was genuinely humble, not at all like Carl. Carl’s humility was pretentious and intentional.

“It seems like I’m doing the worst here!” Trevor gave a bitter smile and continued, “I haven’t attended my interview, so I’m kinda an unemployed person now.”

“Hey, you just came back from oversea, right Trevor? It won’t be hard for you to apply for an assistant manager in the Drake family’s company. I heard that for this position, the monthly salary can be up to

20 to 30 thousand dollars!” Britney responded, smiling. “Not to mention, your lovely girlfriend is the supervisor of that company and can surely help. This job belongs to you!”

At the end of her speech, Britney cast her glance towards Selena and continued in a mocking tone, “Well. You’ll never be as bad as someone who picks up trash for a living, will you Trevor?”

“Honey, I never thought that you knew how to dance and play the piano. Let’s go to the big private room! I want to see you dancing and playing the piano!” Jack said to Selena excitedly, ignoring Britney completely.

Everyone who was boasting confidently a moment ago went silent in a blink of an eye. Their jaws dropped and their eyes widened into spheres as large as saucers.

“Wow! We didn’t hear it wrong, did we? Are you talking about the big, opulent, private room of Lotus Bar and Lounge?” Rachel was taken aback. She started to doubt that she heard it wrongly. Jack wanted to go to the room that had a million-dollar price tag as its minimum consumption?

Everyone in the scene was suspicious of Jack’s words. ‘How could Jack request for the big room when he did not even have the spending power for the middle room?’ they questioned.

“Didn’t you say there’s a piano there? I want to listen to my wife playing the piano. We have to go there.” Jack shrugged.

“That room is so expensive… No way, we’re not going there! I’ll play piano for you when I’m free. Be a good boy for me, okay?” Selena rolled her eyes at Jack, and continued, “We’ve already spent more than 5 million for two cars today! You think your wallet is bottomless? Don’t squander anymore!”

“Huh? Porsche 911 for 5 million dollars? Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a Porsche, Selena? You’ve already exposed yourself!” Dylan interrupted the couple in a mocking tone. “You should at least see how fishes swim even if you haven’t enjoyed them!”

“They were saying two Porsche 911s and that the price will be around 5 million for two. Don’t twist their words!” Rachel echoed in a sardonic tone, laughing uncontrollably. “They wouldn’t make such a shallow joke, okay?”

“Stop faking your spending power! If you really have 5 million, take it out and treat us tonight in this medium room! That big room of Lotus is for world class businessmen to have their business discussion. I don’t even dare spend money alone there.”

Carl grinned sardonically. “Stop pretending! I can’t bear it anymore!”

Matt, who stayed quiet all the time, finally voiced out, “You have my respect for being the most pretentious couple, echoing one another! How shameless!”

He then looked at his ex, Selena and said, “Selena Taylor, are you trying to prove that you’re doing better than I am? Do you really have to do so? Don’t you dare to think that we didn’t know what happened to you in the past few years! You think you could cover it up by not contacting us all this while?”

“I agree! Who doesn’t know that you had been cast out by the Taylor family, couldn’t find a job anywhere, and was forced to pick up trash for a living? Someone even saw you picking up trash with a kid! What now? Trying to fake your wealth in front of us? Is it so hard for you to admit that you’re actually poor?” Britney stepped forward and chimed in perfectly.

She then continued, “If you really want the big private room, ask me. I’m the richest and wealthiest here! Our family, the Lee family, is a third-class aristocrat family! A million is a mere peanut to us!”

“You’re right. I was forced to pick trash for a living, it’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Selena’s face dropped and replied, icy-cold as she did so. “But that was before. Now I’m with Jack, and we both have proper jobs with medium range salaries. It’s not as bad as you think. It’s enough for us to live comfortably.”

“Wow! You sure? You have a job?” Matt smirked. “What kind of job can you do? A bodyguard? I’m so curious!”

A wry smile hung on Selena’s face. “You’re right. Jack is indeed a bodyguard right now, but he’s so much better than you anyway. Do you have a job now? Or your own business?” she retorted expressionlessly.

“Oh, I forgot! You, too, have a job! Your job is to please Miss Britney, right? She’s the only daughter in the Lee family, and you’ll get all her money when you marry her, am I right?” She continued bluntly. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. I knew you pretty well back then. Your two criteria for a life partner is good money and her being the only child of the family.”

“Bullsh*t!” Matt snapped.

Selena’s words pierced right through his weak point, sharply. Matt’s expression indicated that he was truly exasperated. “We love each other earnestly. It’s not your place to critique and destroy our relationship! What about yourself, huh? Married to a soldier must be the most agonizing incident in your life! It’s such a waste that an attractive woman like you married a poor man.”

Selena burst out laughing. “That’s because I’m not you, and I never wanted to leech off of somebody. Besides, I don’t think that my man isn’t excellent enough. Just a moment ago, he was willing to spend a million just to see me dancing! What do you think of that? It says that my man loves me more than

anything and is willing to spend for me even if there’s only a hundred thousand in his bank account!” Selena chuckled as she spoke. She leaned toward Jack and held his hand with pride.

Jack was a little shocked by Selena’s action, and he felt happiness blooming within him. This was the first time Selena initiated the first move in public!

“Well said, dear! Our love is true love and theirs is just living under a roof together!” Jack was overly excited that he turned his face toward Selena and stamped his lips on her cheek.

Selena’s face immediately turned as red as a tomato. She never thought that Jack, this sneaky yet adorable b*stard, would exploit this opportunity to plant a kiss on her cheek! The sight of Selena’s gorgeous face searing with blush harbored the jealousy in the others and further induced their poor self-esteem. Although Jack was a bodyguard and seemed like someone who was incapable of anything, he was able to make Selena his wife! This point itself had already made others drown in envy. Besides, their relationship seemed wonderful and stable!

Matt, on the other hand, was seething inwardly. He recalled that during the one-year relationship with Selena back in university, Selena was so conservative that she had only let Matt hold her hand, let alone a small peck on her cheek. That was what made his fury spring to life and decided to sleep with Rachel; his childish act to madden her. Of course, right now, the scene before him defeated him terribly.

“Keep on boasting! If you’re as capable as you say you are, let’s go to the big private room then!” Matt gritted his teeth with anger, and before long, he sneered, “The minimum consumption in that room is one million. Listen carefully: one million, minimum consumption. It also means that it might exceed that amount. Since you have the gall to treat us, please don’t be a crybaby when you realize you have no money for it!”

“Humph, forget it! He’s just a poor, stinky, and useless bodyguard. How much money will he have to treat us there? Moreover, it’s been only a few days since he returned from the military, right? This bodyguard job is probably a new job, and he might not have gotten his first pay yet!”

Britney sang a duet with Matt delightfully, seeing that her boyfriend was hostile with the couple.

“A useless bodyguard?” Selena was speechless for a moment. “Have you seen a useless bodyguard with 20 million pay a month? I really don’t understand what you’re bragging about when your salary is like a peanut next to my husband’s.”

“Wow! Your joke is getting better now! Which family on the earth can afford a 20 million bodyguard? Even the Drake family’s bodyguards aren’t paid such a high salary!” Britney was so angry that she could feel her resentment growing inside her like a tumor. She stepped forward and yelled, “Don’t think that I don’t understand the market. I belong to a third-class aristocrat family! I know exactly how much a bodyguard earns!”

“Oops, sorry! Then you really don’t understand the market. I do so happen to be the Drake family’s bodyguard, and for them to hire me for only 20 million, it’s a boon!” Jack retorted.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 224

After hearing that statement, everyone present almost burst out laughing. How outrageous would it be to say that the Drake family benefited from hiring a bodyguard for 20 million? If that was the case, it would mean the family members were complete idiots.

“how comical this is! A bodyguard for 20 million and they benefited from it? Please, they can hire a few hundred bodyguards with that kind of money. Excellent ones, even!” Rachel cackled out loud.

“Right, are you taking the Drake family for a bunch of fools? Not even their commander gets paid that much, right?” Carl added.

The statement Selena made earlier was basically saying Jack was more impressive than them, and they were more offended than what they let on. They could not understand how a mere bodyguard could be better than them who made more than 10 million annually.

“It doesn’t matter if you guys believe me or not, but that’s how much my husband is getting paid. That was personally assured by Miss Tanya herself, so it can’t be a mistake!” Selena was incredibly furious as she originally thought of this as a simple casual gathering. She never expected that there would be a few snobs among them.

Moreover, if she had known both sugarbabies Matt and Rachel would be here, she would never have come. Since the situation had already progressed to the way it was, she had to fight for her pride. She had been very patient toward them from the start, yet she did not expect them to keep testing her patience by calling Jack a useless soldier. If it was not for Jack fending off the enemies in the frontlines, would they still be able to enjoy their comfortable and peaceful life?

“Alright, alright. Everything you say is true, okay?” Trevor chuckled. He then turned toward Selena and asked, “Didn’t you get a job as well? What job is that? Share it with us and let’s see if it’s better than the job I found.”

Selena frowned. She was rather close with Trevor and Hugh when she was still studying back then, and she was only willing to come this time mainly because of them both. She did not expect Trevor would come forward at this moment to target her as well.

Selena did not answer his question. Instead, she questioned him back. “You’re going for an interview tomorrow, right? For the position of a manager’s assistant? 20, 30 thousand per month? What company is that to have offered such high wages to an assistant?”

Trevor chuckled. “It happens to be a prominent company. It’s Drake Dynasty Real Estate under the Drake Group. Not to mention, they’re currently in charge of a major project, the same project over at

South Hill Real Estate!”

Trevor had a prideful look on his face as he pompously added, “Don’t worry. I’ll nail the interview tomorrow, no doubt!”

“Really now? That confident?” Selena frowned. Was that not the same company she was currently working in? “Which department manager’s assistant are you interviewing for?” she prodded further.

“The procurement manager’s assistant,” Trevor answered, another short chuckle escaping his lips. “My girlfriend happens to be a supervisor there as well, so my interview will go on smoothly. Besides, my resume is pretty impressive too. When they heard that I returned from overseas, who wouldn’t worship me? It doesn’t matter if I had wasted my life overseas or didn’t learn much… Who knows what exactly I was up to overseas, right?”

“Moreover, with the sheer mention of being abroad—on top of me boasting a little on my resume— would naturally win over people these days. Of course, my girlfriend is the supervisor there, so she can help put a good word in for me. How is that not a guaranteed success?”

Trevor then added, “I heard that the procurement manager is a beautiful lady. However, she might’ve had an affair with the Drake family’s young master to be in that position. Otherwise, how could she be a manager the moment she entered the company?”

Trevor had a smug look on his face.

Jack felt awkward while he listened on the side. Was this manager he mentioned not Selena?

“That female manager had an affair with the Drake family’s young master? Your girlfriend told you that? Does she have any proof?” Selena’s expression dimmed. She did not expect Sonia would say that about her behind her back. It was a good thing she came to this reunion, and it was fortunate that Sonia was absent today. Selena might never know about this if this did not happen.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 225

“Is it necessary for proof now?” Trevor cackled out loud and spoke in a very prideful manner, “Do you know who my girlfriend is? She’s a distant relative to the Drake family and had worked there for a good number of years now. She should be the one getting promoted to the position of a manager, but that manager of theirs appeared out of nowhere. She’s attractive and dresses suggestively, so if she isn’t having an affair with the Drake family’s young master, would she even get special treatment like this?”

As he was making that statement, he continued with a much more exciting statement, “The previous manager only had about a few hundred thousand dollars per month but when this manager enters, guess how much she makes a month? A monthly wage of over a million! Now you tell me: isn’t that fishy? This woman has to be hooking up with the young master and had sexual relationships with him privately. How else would she get such treatment?”

“Too many women are making a living based on their appearance these days!” Matt joined in.

“Do you think anyone is exactly like you?” Selena was beyond furious as she gave him a murderous glare.

“I wasn’t even talking about you! What are you getting so worked up for?” Matt had a very dissatisfied look on his face.

“You guys are making baseless accusations. You’re asking for a beating!” Jack’s expressions dimmed as he subtly clenched his fist.

However, Selena who was sitting beside him shook her head and signaled at him not to act so rashly. Jack held himself back after seeing Selena’s reaction.

“I heard Rachel mentioned that you’re a rash brute for being a soldier previously. I see that it’s true. You keep saying that people are asking for a beating for minor things. Do you think that everything can be

solved with violence? You have to use your head next time!” Hugh’s girlfriend rolled her eyes at Jack.

Jack laughed. “As long as you’re powerful enough, everything can be solved through violence,” he spoke. “If a single punch can’t, then two punches can do the trick!”

After he was done speaking, he immediately spoke to the waitress, “Hey, lady, mind switching the room for me? I won’t be stingy on your tips later if you’re still going to be our waitress!”

After the waitress heard that, she was immediately delighted. “Thank you, Sir!” she beamed.

After she was done, the waitress immediately led them to a different room. “This way, please!”

“Don’t be too happy so soon, Miss. This man just so happens to be a veteran and now he’s working as a bodyguard. Do you genuinely think his monthly wage is 20 million?”

“Even if it’s true, he was only back a few days ago. He hasn’t even gotten his paycheck yet, so I think he might not be able to foot the bill later. Everyone will be detained here!”

Everyone got into the elevator and arrived at the second floor together. From the second floor, everything on the first floor could be observed. The second floor encircled the entire perimeter and its middle portion was empty.

The huge building looked like an overturned bowl.

“No, I believe him. He was willing to fork out a couple million just to listen to his wife play the piano. Someone who loved their wives this much would never lie!” the waitress replied with a smile. Since she had worked as a waitress here for a long time, she had seen and met all kinds of people. She believed in her judgment.

“Since you have a sweet tongue, your tips tonight won’t be lower than 10 thousand!” Jack replied, a smile on his face as he did so.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 226

“10 thousand dollars?” Rosa gasped after hearing that; Jack must have been lying.

She had worked so hard for a month only to receive meager pay. To put it in a much better way, she was only a supervisor yet she felt extremely exhausted. Yet, here Jack was: casually telling the waitress that he would give her 10 thousand as her tip. That was too much, was it not?

“Thank you so much, Sir!”

The pretty waitress was also very delighted. The usual source of income would be the commissions they make from the alcohol they serve. Nonetheless, these commissions were very low. Adding that to their base salary, the total was not even close to 10 thousand.

Indeed, there would be customers who gave them tips, yet getting 3 to 5 thousand as their tip would make their day.

Even if their guests were some young masters from second or third-class aristocratic families, a generous tip from them would be about 2 to 3 thousand dollars; waitresses like them were very insignificant to their eyes. If they enjoyed their company, they would reward them. If they did not, they might even yell at them.

“Don’t worry about it!” Jack smiled; the impression the woman left on him was positive. She basically would not say anything she should not on top of keeping a professional smile on her face. She looked very respectful.

Suddenly, Trevor chuckled. “A boastful man you are,” he commented. “The thing is that someone actually bought it!”

Upon noticing Trevor was going out of his way to pick on Jack, Selena smiled and said, “Trevor, you said it yourself earlier: You didn’t study much while you were abroad. You spend every day enjoying life there then boast about it when you return. You’re telling me that you want to work as that manager’s assistant with that behavior? I think you’re a little too full of yourself!”

“Full of myself?” Trevor cackled out loud and said, “There isn’t much of a choice for that female manager. My girlfriend faked a preliminary interview and rejected everyone that came for that position, leaving only my resume and another girl’s resume. However, that girl doesn’t even exist. Till then, all Sonia needs to do is tell their manager that the girl caught a cold and couldn’t make it!”

“That means I’m the only one left to be chosen. Besides, I had been abroad for some time, and that fake resume won’t be more outstanding than mine. So you can tell me now: If it isn’t me who will attend the interview, who else can it be?”

The longer Trevor spoke, the more prideful he became. “This is called benefiting from having a mole on the inside. Do you understand?”

“that’s pretty impressive!” Selena chuckled before looking at Rosa beside her. She said, “That’s right, Rosa, your monthly wage is about 10 thousand, right? That’s not bad, what job is that?”

A sigh escaped Rosa’s lips. “It’s not worth mentioning. That tiny company is depressing. Sometimes, they wouldn’t pay me for the overtime I did. I’m just a supervisor and yet I had to do a lot of things outside my job scope. Moreover, it’s construction work! Such meager pay. Now that I’ve paid my rent, I don’t have much left to save up after my meager budget for food and other necessities.”

Upon bringing up her job, Rosa cracked a bitter smile as she said, “Supervisor on paper but in reality, I’m busier than anyone else…”

After she was done speaking, she looked at Selena and said, “Selena, I remembered you being quite capable at work. Why don’t you come work for my company? I’ll talk to my manager to see if they’re

able to offer you some work. Now that you’re exiled from the Taylor family, you’re no longer the lady you once was and you should accept reality now, okay?”

After Selena heard that statement, her heart was moved. It seemed Rosa cared about her a lot since she hoped that Selena could have a better life for herself.

It was then when Hugh spoke out, “Yeah, my purpose of inviting Selena out today was to ask everyone if any of you have any suitable job for her. However, since Selena mentioned she got a job earlier and it’s uncertain if it’s real or not, I was a little shy to bring it up!”

“My factory lacks manpower to move things. If a pretty lady like you thinks it’s okay, then you can come to work!” Dylan mused.

Rachel chuckled coldly before mocking her intentionally, “What are you talking about? Her husband makes 20 million a month. It doesn’t matter if she works or not, right? Does she even need to do hard labor?”

“Fair point. I almost forgot about it!” Dylan laughed hysterically.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 227

Selena merely shrugged him off as she took out a name card and handed it to Rosa. “This is my business card, so just hold on to it first. The offer will be much better than your current job. I have faith in your abilities. You’re a smart and hardworking person!” novelbin

“Alright, alright. I’ll keep it.” Rosa assumed Selena was on her high horse again. Still, she could not be bothered to expose her so she awkwardly laughed instead before shoving her business card into her purse.

A cynical grin appeared on Matt’s face. “Not bad; you can still recommend jobs to people. I didn’t expect you to be recruiting, judging from the look of things. Your job isn’t too bad!”

Selena simply ignored him in silence as they made their way to their luxurious private room.

“Holy sh*t. This is the luxury room? This is my first time here… It’s so big!”

“The piano here is a Yamaha! The screen here is huge too!”

Rosa was extremely excited after inspecting every nook and cranny.

“Not bad! Not bad!”

Everyone else was also nodding in agreement.

“Jack, you said it yourself that you’d be footing the bill tonight. We won’t fork out a single penny!” Britney once again reminded Jack. She was interested to see how long Jack could keep up his facade.

Jack nodded carefreely. “Of course. Order to your heart’s content, guys!” he spoke. “Order anything, and we’ll have as much fun as we can! Besides, it’s not every day we get an opportunity to loosen up.”

“Alright, alright. Bring the menu here and we’ll order now. Everyone is drinking red wine right, and we’d be ordering the more expensive ones. Besides, the lowest one can spend here is a million. We’re not going to order anything too cheap!” Trevor got seated and started ordering.

The veteran then turned to his wife. “Honey, I want to watch you dance!” Jack beamed.

Selena was flustered in an instant. “I haven’t danced in years!” she squeaked. “Forget it, I’m too embarrassed!”

“Someone should be playing the piano while she dances, right? Who’s playing? I haven’t played in years and I think I’ve even forgotten how to play!” Hugh let out a bitter chuckle and said, “If one wishes

to dance while someone plays, both must be in sync. If they are, it’ll unite and become a beautiful symphony both visually and auditorily.”

To this, Matt started chuckling coldly as he stared at Jack. “If Selena dances, it wouldn’t be appropriate if we played the piano, right? Someone would be jealous if the duet turned out nicely, no?”

“That’s difficult. If he’s the one playing, he wouldn’t be jealous.”

Trevor chuckled coldly. “Of course, someone here didn’t even have proper education. He could be playing a chaotic tune too,” Trevor mocked, to which everyone started laughing. “How else can Selena dance to the music?”

In their eyes, Jack was nothing more than a mindless brute. How would he know a thing or two about the piano?

Never did they anticipate that Jack actually approached the piano, sat down, and said, “Honey, I’ll play and you dance. Let’s both perform a duet!”

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 228

Selena became skittish right away. This fellow here was a soldier; how could he possibly know how to play the piano even though he was not always a mindless brute?

Music and dance would be extremely sacred to people who understood them as it was something that could connect souls. How could one not take it seriously?

She would not mind if her husband was to play poorly, but even if she was to dance majestically, she could never be in sync with a ‘chaotic tune’.

Jack’s level should not be too poor at the very least. Only then could she forcefully dance with his tune.

“F—Forget it. Everyone will be singing and drinking later anyway…” Selena laughed mirthlessly, her statement sounding more depressed than what she let on. Even in her eyes, there were shreds of disappointment and sadness inside.

She had not danced in a very long time, and she had almost forgotten that ‘Selena’ who used to dance so elegantly on the stage like a swan. She would feel different every time she got on stage to dance back then; it was as though the entire stage was hers and only hers. The cheers from the audience would make her feel incredibly fulfilled.

Of course, these were things of the past and she could no longer have the same feeling she felt from back then; the feeling of understanding the deeper meaning of a dance through her heart and soul.

“I think you should just forget about it. Your hands are made for swords and spears, so please don’t embarrass yourself with elegant things like holding a pen or performing a dance!” Britney laughed, a cynical undertone detected in her chuckle.

“Matt, your piano skills are pretty impressive back then. It’d be a perfect performance if you play the piano and Selena dances. That’d be a perfect balance of music and dance!”

Rachel then added fuel to the flame, saying, “You’re no longer together, but you’ve dated back then, no? Why don’t you just give it a shot, Matt? I believe both of you will be a perfect match!”

Needless to say, she said all that to provoke Jack.

“Let’s begin, Honey!” Jack simply ignored her as he gently touched the black and white keys; it was as though he was caressing a baby’s skin.

A press on a key made Jack titter. Five years of battle had almost made him forget about his childhood dream.

His childhood dream was to become a pianist. He had never expected he would become a soldier. Even more so, he never expected he would be fighting on the battlefield to defend the borders. Of course, times have changed and he no longer held regrets. It was being on the battlefield that he felt true friendship between his comrades. He felt the fighting spirit between his comrades. If it were not for the countless near-death encounters in the last five years, he would not have been honed into such a sharp blade.

A simple touch made his thoughts race endlessly. Soon, he found himself swimming in childhood memories as he immersed himself within that sacred ground. All of that turned into an orchestra of music and notes surrounding him as they danced.

“No way… He knows how to play the piano!” Britney was so shocked that her lower jaw almost fell to the ground. Was this brat not a takeout delivery boy that had gotten enlisted as a soldier for five years? Surely there was no piano on the battlefield.

Moreover, Jack was just an ordinary man back then, and if he could keep himself warm and fed, it would have made his day. How could he still have the time and money to learn how to play music?

Yet, here Jack was. His fingers seemed to be moving on its own and the harmonic tone made everyone feel as if they were floating mid-air. It soon picked up the pace and turned softer like water flowing under the bridge.

“Good lord. This… This is way better than our piano teacher back then. He’s amazing!” Hugh gulped, completely flabbergasted.

“He… He’s playing the Croatian Rhapsody!” Rachel was electrified. That was how Maxim described music as it mainly focused on the aftermath of war.

No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 229

The aftermath of a war, a dusty battlefield, mountains of corpses laid dead while a crow wept under the setting sun. This single song surprised everyone as their hearts were instantly touched, so much so that those images came alive in their minds. At that instant, they no longer perceived Jack as a mindless brute. No one else dared to think he knew nothing about music. Instead, they were the complete idiots.

Selena was completely stunned. She never knew Jack’s piano playing had already reached such godly heights.

“What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go!” Rosa nudged Selena soon after she snapped out of her trance.

It was only then did Selena eventually settle back into reality. Selena then gracefully lowered and did a split while raising her body slightly, resembling the image of an injured swan.

Her body was lithe and flexible as both arms swayed along to the music. At that moment, both music and dance started to merge into a single entity. With a counter spin of her legs, her body started to slowly get up as she was completely lost in the harmonic balance of music and dance, unable to escape. She had returned. Everything had returned. Selena felt like she had once again returned on stage and found the familiar feelings she felt back then; that excitement and determination she felt in her heart way before.

The melody stopped and the dance concluded! Everyone was entranced, and they stayed that way for a good amount of time.

“That was magnificent!” Dylan suddenly started clapping, and everyone else could not help but applauded them thunderously.

It no longer mattered how much they looked down on Jack before; all of them were clapping. They were praising their duet, their emotions sincere from their hearts and free from their feuds and petty

grudges. Their souls seemed to be completely cleansed at this instant.

“That was amazing. A perfect performance, perfectly done!” Hugh was extremely emotional, at the brink of tears. “I’ve never expected even after graduating so many years ago, I’d still be able to hear such a powerful piece of music and witness such a perfect dance,” he gushed. “Both aspects were perfectly combined.”

Hugh was so emotional, he repeated the word ‘perfect’ four times.

“Honey, you compliment me well!” Jack smiled as he got up.

“You played it exceptionally well!” Selena was slightly flustered as she rolled her eyes at Jack. However, her heart felt like it was slathered with a sweet essence as though she had eaten honeydew.

“Right. If anyone wants to play, go ahead. I want to grab a drink!” Jack smiled as plenty of snacks and red wine were already brought in.

“Forget it. After your impromptu recital just now, we don’t want to embarrass ourselves!” Hugh waved his hand and he no longer dared to mention he was a music graduate in front of Jack ever again.

“Let’s drink, let’s drink!” Dylan was still lost in the music earlier. “Good lord. After listening to that, I feel like money is merely worldly possession, so let’s all drink to our hearts’ content. Come on guys, cheers!”

Jack smiled at Selena as Dylan with his rounded waist chugged down a glass full of wine. It made him seem more like a mindless brute than Jack would ever be.

Rosa pulled Selena to a corner.

“Selena… They said that your husband was a mindless brute and I genuinely believed them,” Rosa whispered. “I didn’t expect him to know how to play the piano, and he played it so well too. I don’t believe he’s just some grunt anymore… Anyone who knows how to play the piano can never be a mindless brute!” she added. “I think he’s a well-versed person as he knows how to fight and play the piano!”

“Hmm… Has he become god-like to you now?” Selena chuckled humorously as it seemed this change in attitude was a little too quick.

Rosa sighed. “After thinking about it earlier, that has to be some nonsense Rachel concocted. Man, that woman has gone too far since she never seemed to like you even in our university days. She always assumed you were stealing the spotlight away from her. We’ve all graduated, and it’s been so long. I thought it’s all behind us now and we don’t care much about the past. I didn’t expect she could be this petty!” Rosa seemed to have understood something as she then grabbed onto Selena’s hand and murmured, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you a while ago.”

“Don’t worry about it, I didn’t really take it to heart anyway,” Selena assured her. “Besides, I offended Rachel this morning, so her trying to ruin me in my absence is well within my expectations!”

Selena offered a bright smile before adding, “Consider my offer well when you get back. You can help me out in my company since we lack the manpower.”

“Alright, I’ll think about it,” Rosa replied, a smile gracing her face before she tugged on Selena’s arm. “Let’s go pick some songs to sing!”

On the other side, Britney was sitting next to Matt as she whispered to him, “Do you know how much in total we’ve ordered?”

“How should I know? My job is to drink and drink some more. If it’s not enough, we can order more. F*ck it, I refuse to believe a veteran would be able to fork out that much money. We’ll spend a little

more and when he can’t pay up, the owner here will never let him leave!”

Matt was ruthless in the way he spoke, and he glanced at Jack from across the room. Jack was nothing more than a veteran, and no one expected Jack would be able to marry Selena. Selena’s current figure seemed as though she had never given birth before. She was still as stunning as she was back then. Not to mention the way Selena looked when she danced. She looked like a pure and innocent swan. Her beauty was mesmerizing, and the feeling of regret bubbled in him.

If only he persisted a little harder back then, he might have been the one married to Selena. Even if he was not married to her, he might still end up dating Selena. A shame he could only be with Britney, whom he had no feelings for whatsoever. Dissatisfied was he in silence.

“Our bill is over 1.3 million dollars. That idiot is doomed!” Britney chuckled and took a sip of red wine from her wine glass before saying, “Alright, I need to use the washroom real quick!”

When Britney was on her way to the washroom, she noticed an extremely intricate display case in the hallway housing two bottles of red wine. Moreover, there were two servers guarding that case while every corner around the red wine had spotlights shining at it. It was very attractive to look at.

“What are you looking at?” Rachel who had just exited the washroom noticed Britney was staring at blank space in front of her. Rachel approached her while she giggled.

“Rachel, do you think Jack has the money to actually foot the bill?” Britney frowned after she pondered about it.
