Chapter 11: The Pride of St. Louis
"Lucius?"
Lucius came back to his senses, put it aside, saw Virginia's cheerful expression, and realized that he was still in Matiel's restaurant.
"That's it," Virginia said cheerfully, excited to work with his brother to create a brand that might lead the fall trend in the imperial capital, and he realized that the food and drinks had been thrown aside by him, and the other diners in the Flowing Water Restaurant had already turned all kinds of eyes on the three of them, and he smiled awkwardly and bowed his head to the guests in apology.
Lucius couldn't help but feel a headache for this second brother, Virginia is such a temperament, and when she gets excited, she exaggerates abnormally. He hurriedly asked the waiter to clean up and prepare a new table of dishes.
"This is what you call the best restaurant in the imperial capital of St. Louis with the most Dominic charm?" a female voice suddenly sounded, "I don't see any difference here, the food is too far from the restaurant in Brooklyn, and it can still allow this kind of person to come to the restaurant?"
Lucius followed the prestige, and not far from them, a woman surrounded by two men was sarcastically speaking, the woman was slightly fat, but she was still wearing a beautiful sundress, revealing a large area of skin, but she had a good-looking round face, with heavy makeup, and her black eyes glanced at the messy table on Lucius's side.
Virginia smiled at her without embarrassment, and then apologized, after several years of experience in the company, it was obviously much smoother.
However, the woman did not respond to Virginia's apology, she glanced at Lucius and the three men, and then began to talk to the two men.
"I'll just say that St. Louis is so far away from Brooklyn that even people dressed like this can come in, with a little beggar. The woman waved her hand as if there was a fly under her nose, and the two men opposite nodded and smiled elegantly.
However, this sentence silenced the entire restaurant, and most of the people eating in the restaurant were from the imperial capital of St. Louis, and they looked at the woman who mocked the imperial capital in disbelief. Brooklyn is better than the imperial capital of St. Louis in many ways, such as its booming economy, more democratic free trade, but the rapid development in a short period of time is definitely not enough to keep up with the thousand-year-old heritage of God, St. Louis people jokingly call Brooklyn "the city of nouveau riche". And the people of Brooklyn have never looked down on God, they feel that they are the center of the country's development.
Virginia's face was gloomy, he was dressed in a colored shirt, and his casual leather shoes were pulled at his feet at will, and he didn't mind being ridiculed for his taste in dress, but his brother- Lucius has the best appearance of the family, although he wears a low-key dark gray suit today, without a name brand, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is worth a lot, the fitting stitching and fit perfectly set off his slender figure, and the ridicule of a woman can only show her short-sightedness, and although Andy rarely enters such a high-end restaurant, and eats ugly, as a servant of the Mikalis family, it is definitely not a random person who can insult him.
Virginia was thinking about how to teach this woman a lesson, he didn't rely entirely on his father to become the president of MGM, and what made him angry was that the woman actually spoke again:
"Find a way to get the three of them out so I can taste some of the so-called Dominica dishes." ”
The two men beside her stood up and walked obediently this way.
Virginia's eyes narrowed, Lucius knew this was a precursor to what he was going to do, the Mikallis family was mild-mannered, but it didn't mean that there were no sharp minions. Virginia is not athletic and has no combat skills, but his company has a large number of thugs, and Lucius remembers a few years ago he personally poured a family of seven that had ruined his business plans into cement barrels and thrown them into the vast McLaren Sea.
Lucius stopped him, and his father had warned him that there had been little trouble lately, especially in this delicate time when the political situation was about to shake up. He stood up, blocking the two men who were trying to "invite" them out of the restaurant, and smiled politely at the mean woman.
"I think this lady must be from honorable Brooklyn. ”
The woman raised her head haughtily, Lucius was really worried about her IQ, and on occasions where most of the people were from St. Louis, she had been making sarcastic remarks as a Brooklyn native, and she was extremely brainless. The diners around him were already showing a little anger.
"If you're a guest from Brooklyn, I'd welcome you, but put away your arrogance, this is St. Louis, the lifeblood of the empire for thousands of years, and the history of any ten-square-meter shop on St. Lucian Avenue could write a book, far from being comparable to an upstart like you. ”
Lucius's language was harsh, and the St. Louis people at the table around him naturally puffed out their chests, although the economic growth index of the imperial capital has lagged behind Brooklyn in the past few years, they still have the pride of St. Louisians.
"And what right do you have to be sarcastic about someone who has fled Brooklyn to be a person who eats at the same restaurant? ”
The recent bloodshed in Brooklyn has spread to all walks of life, and law and order is extremely poor, and many wealthy people have fled to the imperial capital to avoid the limelight, and the people around them look at the woman with contempt.
"By the way, the two gentlemen beside you," Lucius looked at the two men standing beside him, who were not aware of what was going on or off.
"The people of St. Louis don't need to bow their heads to curry favor with others in order to gain wealth, and as far as I know, Martiel's is not the best restaurant in the imperial capital that you have told the nouveau riche lady, but it is a restaurant known for its elegance and chic, for all the people, and for the poor every day. The beautiful female manager of the Flowing Water Restaurant on the second floor nodded at Lucius, despite the high price, Martiel's Restaurant still maintained the usual practice of relief meals.
"So, using this 'best restaurant' gimmick to deceive an upstart with perhaps other purposes for gaining wealth is really inferior. ”
The two men's faces turned red, they were not the class that could come to this kind of restaurant in the first place, and the anger after the purpose was revealed exploded instantly, and they clenched their fists and swung towards Lucius.
However, the two of them were definitely not Tom's trained warriors, and Lucius cleanly struck them in the neck and knocked them unconscious, carrying one in each hand.
"Excuse me, can you open the window, I don't want to break anything in the restaurant. Lucius politely spoke to a couple at a table by the window, and the man opened the window.
"Bang, bang"
With two loud bangs, the two men who had fainted were ruthlessly thrown down by Lucius.
