Life at the Top

It was Hello Hotpot’s first branch opening today, so there were many customers around.

The commotion had long attracted the attention of many people—most of whom were fanning the flames and watching the scene unfold. Some were even jeering rowdily.

Jasper’s expression turned to ice after hearing Magnus’ words.

At this moment, Darrel and Jonas had anxiously rushed over as well. Coincidentally, they overheard what Magnus had said.

Darrel was, after all, a young man. He admired his cousin Jasper tremendously and treated him as his idol. When he heard those words, he felt his blood boil and rushed up to punch Magnus to the ground.

When Darrel, the boss of the restaurant, hurled a few punches himself, the whole place slid into chaos.

Jonas’ expression fell as he grabbed the startled and astonished manager, ordering, “Quick, arrange for all staff members to pacify the customers and try your best not to let news of this get out. Otherwise, our restaurant will close down in just a day.”

Having said that, Jonas rushed toward the chaotic scene.

At this time, Darrel and Magnus had become entangled with each other. Magnus had brought a friend with him, and just as Darrel was about to lose the fight, Julian arrived.

Julian’s moves were straightforward and clean-cut.

When Jonas squeezed his way in, Julian already had the entire situation under control.

“Are you okay?” Jasper asked Darrel.

Darrel huffed and puffed, saying, “I’m okay. Men like him are simply despicable. They deserve to be beaten up!”

“You’re not wrong, but this is your restaurant and your first day of business. Aren’t you worried about bad publicity?” Jasper asked.

“What bad publicity? If Hello Hotpot is good enough, then even if this affects our customer base now, we can still make up for the loss sooner or later. If Hello Hotpot is terrible, then things will remain the same regardless of what happens today.”

Jasper thought highly of Darrel after hearing what he said.
