Life at the Top

Jasper decided to order only three dishes and one stew since it was just two of them. He also picked common dishes that were comparatively cheaper.

It was not that Jasper was frugal. It was just that food and drinks were the one thing he would not compromise on. In his opinion, one did not get rich by saving but rather by earning. However, being wasteful was not condoned either.

The waiter who was serving them was not too happy with this, though.

“This is all two large-sized men are eating when they come to Waterhoof City? These are all cheap dishes that don’t even amount to 200 Somer Dollars. How stingy.”

The waiter had a strong accent belonging to residents of Waterhoof City. Coupled with their sarcastic tone, it immediately caused those listening to feel uncomfortable.

“The two of us can’t eat that much in one go. Please just serve what I ordered,” Jasper said calmly.

“Foreigners,” the waiter muttered irritably to themselves before they turned and walked away.

“Jasper, that waiter has such a bad attitude,” Julian frowned as he spoke to Jasper.
