Fifty million!
As soon as the waiter announced the number, everyone was dumbfounded, including Austin's parents and elder brother.
"That... No, that is impossible. You must have made a mistake!
These people are penniless! How could they have fifty million dollars in their bank account?"
Aunty Afra stammered. She was at a loss for words, clutching her chest for this unexpected turn of events.
"Recheck it!"
The manager of the restaurant urged the waiter to investigate this matter further, in case anything went amiss.
The waiter complied, and to his surprise, the number that reflected on the screen of the POS terminal was accurate. The waiter
rubbed his eyes to check if he indeed saw the whole thing right—and it was! The number displayed on the screen was longer than
a cellphone number.
"lI am not mistaken. The balance of this bank card is indeed fifty million!"
The waiter couldn't peel his eyes off the screen of the POS terminal. He wanted to doubt the outrageous amount that appeared,
but he checked it several times, and it remained the snumber. These people were wealthy!
"What? Fifty million?"
Everyone in the room, including Austin's parents and Chad, was stunned to the core.
"No! I don't believe it!
You must have made a mistake!"
Aunty Afra protested like a madwoman.
Of course, she had every reason to doubt this preposterous claim. After all, she personally confirmed herself that the Lin family
were paupers a few moments ago.
These people, who she claimed as "paupers", actually owned fifty million dollars on their bank account! She truly despised them to
the core.
"What the hell, Aunty Afra? You toldthey were poor, and they would listen to whatever | ordered them to do! What's this whole
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthing about?"
Kate slammed her fists at the table. She felt like she was duped.
"Are you sure this is correct?" the manager once again asked the waiter. He was having a hard taccepting this as well so he
looked at the POS screen himself to confirm the amount. He was at a loss for words. "This is... unbelievable!"
The manager fumbled between words as he held the edge of the table for support. He fixed his gaze on the amount as if waiting
for something to change. To his dismay, the number remained fifty million. He didn't know how to act around them now; he was
extremely embarrassed about his behavior towards them.
As a manager in a luxurious restaurant, it was in his nature to seek the favor of the more affluent customers. He fawned on them
and tended on them more often compared to his less luxurious patrons. He scoffed at people who couldn't afford a single meal at
his restaurant! It was inherent to his materialistic nature.
In this society, only a few people, either stupid or insane, were willing to make trouble with the rich for no reason.
"Well, if you're done with that card, can you please check the balance of the other cards | brought? | don't have the habit of
memorizing the contents of each account, so maybe you can helpcheck them individually," Austin asked. He quickly withdrew
the first card he gave from the still-stunned waiter.
"It's troublesto have so many bank cards. At this point, | can't even distinguish them from each other, so I'm not really sure
how much money | have earned already."
Then, he took out five more cards.
Then he handed them over to the waiter, each issued by a different bank.
All of them were issued by the major banks in the country.
A large portion of the two hundred and fifty million dollars Austin had accumulated from the Xu Clan had been deposited into a
famous foreign bank in another country out of concern for safety.
As for the rest of the money, Austin asked lawyers from the Xu Clan to set up accounts under his nin several major banks
within the country. This money was split and deposited into domestic accounts so that he could conveniently use it across the
country.
However, Austin didn't know how much money had been deposited in each of these domestic bank accounts, so he wanted to
know it as well.
The waiter hesitantly took the cards from Austin's hands and checked them one by one.
"The balance of this card is thirty million!"
"This one is sixty million!"
"This one is forty million!"
The waiter couldn't help but raise his voice in surprise as he scanned them one by one.
By the end of it, his hands were practically trembling. He hadn't encountered anyone this wealthy before!
He had worked in the Luxury Restaurant for eight years.
It was part of his job to socialize with rich people daily over his years of service.
But throughout his employment of almost a decade, he had never cacross anyone as loaded as Austin. Each of his bank
accounts roughly had forty to fifty million, and he had a handful of card at his disposal! It was incredibly rare to meet someone as
affluent as he was!
Silence dominated the whole room.
Every tthe waiter read the balance out loud, audible gasps would be heard from the other people throughout the luxuriously
decorated private room. It took their breath away every tthe value of each card was announced.
It was beyond surprising!
It all felt like a dream.
They had a hard tbelieving that the total amount of the bank cards was approximately two hundred million dollars!
Austin was a billionaire? That was unbelievable!
They found it unimaginable and absurd that all this was true. Something felt amiss for them.
Austin was just an unassuming guy that they looked down on a few moments ago. They all thought that he had nothing with him.
But now, pieces of evidence had shown that he was indeed an affluent person. This sudden change in perspective towards him was
too much to handle!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven Austin's parents and elder brother had their mouth agape. Their hearts thumped violently for the unbelievable fact.
"Tell me. Is this a dream?"
Austin's mother muttered to her husband with a wry smile on her face.
She was not elated with this discovery. Instead, she felt a little apprehensive about it. She couldn't imagine this happening in real
life—her life! This felt too good to be true. Something must be off!
Her younger son had been missing for ten years, but all of a sudden, he cback out of nowhere. That whole thing was a
mystery in itself. Doubts and suspicions swirled in her mind about her son's disappearance and sudden return. To top it all off, he
had way too many bank cards with him, each of them having an exorbitant amount. Anyone would find these chains of events
scary, or suspicious, at least.
