of rubbing someone like Kingsley wrong.“So, you realized that the bank card is just a piece of plastic, huh, Mr. Lowell?” Noah pointed out sarcastically. “Honestly, there’s no need for you to treat this desperate wannabe here with such respect. Call security over and have him thrown out!”“Shall I call security, sir?” Frank asked, but much to everyone’s astonishment, he was addressing Kingsley.Noah’s eyes widened in shock. “Mr. Lowell, what are you asking him for? He’s just a village idiot—”However, he had yet to get his insult out when Frank turned and gestured toward the boutique behind him, then bowed at Kingsley in reverence as he added, “If you do not wish to resort to calling security, then you are welcome to take the fight into our boutique. There’s ample room in there for scuffling, not to mention air-conditioning. It’s the optimum boxing ring, if I do say so myself. Should you require back-up, we have three shop assistants, all six-feet-two walking blocks of muscle, at your disposal. I am proud to say that I have a black belt in karate as well, and I would be honored to help you beat up this man.”The crowd, alongside Noah, gaped at the manager in stunned silence.None of them could understand why Frank had gone from wanting to throw Kingsley out to offering to beat up Noah for him within minutes. “M-Mr. Lowell,” Noah stammered in disbelief. He was starting to think that Kingsley had put some kind of mind-controlling spell on Frank.Presently, Kingsley eyed Noah coldly and asked, “What do you say, Mr. Morris? Care to take this fight inside where there’s air conditioning?”“You—you little—screw you! You just wait till we get to the Bayou! I’ll get you then!” Noah glared at Serena, then at the eager-to-please Frank. Realizing that he had nothing to gain from picking a fight with Kingsley here, he spun on his heels and stormed off.Frank asked earnestly, “Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?”Kingsley paused in thought. “Just a moment, please.” He turned to Serena. “How many people are attending the banquet today?”“About twenty or so, I suppose,” Serena answered, though not without confusion.”Why are you asking?”“I have to make you look good in front of them, no?” Kingsley grinned. He tossed the card to Frank once more and said, “I’ll take thirty of the finest belts in your boutique.”Frank nearly sputtered in surprise as he bowed his head and said with utmost respect, “We have sixty-eight belt designs in our boutique collection, the best of which retails for eighty-eight thousand.”The crowd drew in a sharp breath collectively when they heard this. Eighty-eight thousand was money that the average working-class person would only see after two years’ worth of labor!Even Serena swallowed upon hearing the price. She muttered under her breath, “That’s the bounty for killing a Grade C Target.”Kingsley waved his hand dismissively, unaffected by the lucrative price. “Very well, I’ll take thirty of that design. Could you pack them up nicely and have them sent to the Bayou in a short while?”“I-I shall get to it right away,” Frank said with a bright smile, then hurried back into the store with the Elite Gold Card in hand.The passers-by who had gathered here were incredulous as they frenziedly whispered among themselves.“Holy crap, I didn’t just imagine that, did I? Thirty of those belts? That’s over two million, isn’t it?”“Maybe this is one of those prank shows. You don’t think that credit card was just a prop, do you?”While the crowd debated
