Chapter 628 In The Restaurant
Richard and Ren went to a famous restaurant that was selling food made from rare beasts. This was a place frequented only by the rich and powerful. The cost of a single meal in this restaurant is in the hundreds of thousands some of them even reach millions.
It was a good thing that Ren was wealthy since the Mo Clan gave him lots of riches and even the Void Sect had offered him great wealth just to quell his anger. There were also the bandits who tried to rob him of his things in turn he beat them up and took their stuff, Ren even raided their bases and got all their riches. At this point, Ren was richer than most Clans and Sects in the Eastern Region.
Still, even without those Ren could easily get rich as he had the ability to find those so called spirit ores, and with his strength, it was just a flick of the wrist for him to get them.
Upon entering the restaurant the people eating as well as the staff looked at Ren and Richard with curiosity. The first thing they noticed was Richard's cultivation it was nearing the Nascent Soul Realm, he was so strong while being so young.
While everyone was impressed by Richard's cultivation they finally noticed the one standing in front of Richard. When they also probed the other person they were even more surprised than when they looked at Richard.
The other person who came with Richard was just an ordinary mortal man. Even using some special artifacts they could not detect the slightest bit of immortal cultivation within Ren.
'Why does that Golden Core Realm genius stand behind the mortal as if in respect?'
As most of the people were confused about the relationship between Ren and Richard, the two people in question took a seat. One of the waiters came in front of the two with a professional smile on his face as he handed a menu to Richard and Ren. The waiter was looking at Richard and did not even bother to glance at Ren.
"What do you wish to order?"
"Just bring everything on the menu."
When the waiter heard what Ren said he finally turned his head toward Ren. What Ren said sounded absurd as the worth of all the things on the menu would be in the billions, even powerful aristocratic clans with a lot of money can't afford to waste so many spirit stones, not to mention that amount of food was something a single or even a group of several people cannot hope to finish. Then finally there's the fact that the person who spoke those words was a normal mortal man. If someone without immortal cultivation eats so much meat that has a lot of Qi in it his body would explode.
The people listening in their conversation were looking at Ren in a weird way. Some of them even started to chuckle at the foolish mortal man.
Still, even though what Ren said was ridiculous to everyone present except for Richard, the waiter remained professional and spoke without breaking his smile.
"Sir due to the price, quality, and rarity of the materials in the food we serve, we require our customers to pay half of the bill before we start cooking. The total amount of spirit stones for the entirety of the menu cost six billion five hundred seventy-eight million medium grade Spirit Stones. So half of that is three billion two hundred eighty-nine million medium-grade spirit stones."
When the other customers heard the number they could not help but gasp. They already guessed the number of spirit stones needed would be astronomical but listening to the price it was still incredible making them speechless. On the other hand, Ren was not bothered by the number and took out a hundred rings from his shadow.
"Each one of these storage rings has a million high-grade spirit stones. I'm sure that's more than enough, right?"
The waiter and everyone present was stunned to see Ren produce so many storage rings out of nowhere, but when they heard that each storage ring had a million high-grade spirit stones the people had their mouths wide open. Even the waiter almost opened his mouth but gulped dryly as he nodded his head and quickly picked up the storage rings.
"Of course, sir this is definitely enough. Is there anything else you wish to have?" The waiter was already polite before but now he was truly respecting Ren, it was as if he was looking at a God.
"No need, just bring the food faster."
"As you wish, dear guest." The waiter nodded his head took the menus from Ren and Richard's hands and called some other waiters to take the storage rings.
The people watching from the side were now confused as to what kind of identity Ren had. Even some of the old monsters quietly eating were now inserted in the young-looking mortal man sitting nonchalantly as he handed so many spirit stones. It was now obvious to everyone present that this guy wasn't just an ordinary mortal man, he must be masking his cultivation and his way is so powerful that none of them was able to discern the truth.
...
In the back of the restaurant, the staff was able to confirm that the storage rings do have millions of high-grade spirit stones in them. In fact, Ren gave more than was asked, it was enough for two full sets of everything on the menu.
The treatment they gave Ren and Richard quickly changed, the waiter even asked Ren if he wanted to head to the VIP section. Ren did not want to move anymore and refused, he also told the staff to not disturb them and simply give out the food.
The staff happily obliged, but they were still some people on standby near Ren just in case he needed something.
...
"So are you going to tell me who you are, now?" Richard asked as he looked at Ren feeling even more curious about the other's identity.
"No need to be so impatient, let's have some food first then we talk."
