Celestial Jade Tea
Sherry rolled her eyes dramatically while Bobby let out a low chuckle, clearly amused by Kade’s calm response. To them, his confidence felt misplaced, almost laughable, especially for someone who had just admitted to being jobless.“Look at him,” Sherry said with a smirk, leaning back in her chair as she folded her arms. “Still acting proud despite not having a job.”Bobby nodded in agreement, his lips curling into a teasing smile as he studied Kade.“Confidence is good,” he said casually, “but there’s a difference between confidence and denial.”Elara’s expression tightened as the mockery continued, and she quickly stepped in before things escalated further.“That’s enough,” she said firmly, her voice carrying a hint of frustration. “You’re both going too far.”Sherry waved her hand dismissively, her tone turning playful again as if the insults had only been harmless jokes.“Alright, alright,” she said with a light laugh. “We’ll stop messing with your cute boyfriend.”The word cute c
Stop Bragging
Lydia, Elara, Sherry, and Bobby all froze at the same time, their expressions locked in stunned disbelief as Kade finished speaking. The words lingered in the air, heavy and difficult to process, because what he had just implied was far beyond ordinary exaggeration.Did he just say he was personally served tea by Mandrake Kent?For several seconds, no one spoke.Lydia blinked slowly, her brows drawing together as she tried to confirm what she had heard, her professional composure wavering slightly.“Mandrake Kent?” she repeated carefully, her voice low and deliberate as she stared directly at Kade. “Did you just say Mandrake Kent personally delivered tea to you?”Kade met her gaze calmly, completely unbothered by the growing tension.“Yes,” he replied simply.The response landed like a spark in dry grass.Lydia suddenly burst into laughter.The sound came out sharp and incredulous, her shoulders shaking as disbelief completely overtook her restraint. Sherry quickly joined in, covering
A Bet
Lydia’s face flushed instantly, her calm professional demeanor shattering as fury erupted inside her.She slammed her hand lightly against the table, her voice rising sharply.“How dare you criticize my tea!” she barked, her eyes blazing with anger as she stared directly at Kade. “Do you have any idea how many years I’ve spent mastering this craft?”Her chest rose and fell with agitation, pride clearly wounded.“In all of South City,” she continued heatedly, “the only person acknowledged to be better than me in tea preparation is Master Mandrake Kent himself.”Her words carried authority, and the room seemed to tighten around them.Sherry quickly leaned forward, eager to support the attack.“Exactly,” she said loudly, glaring at Kade. “You’ve been talking nonsense since the moment you walked in here.”Bobby nodded with a scoff, crossing his arms as he looked at Kade with open disdain.“You don’t even have a job,” he added mockingly. “Yet you’re sitting here acting like some expert cri
Mandrake Kent is here
Immediately after Kade ended the call, the table stared at each other in confusion.“Did this man seriously just ask Mandrake Kent to show up in ten minutes?” Sherry said mockingly, her voice loud enough to draw attention from nearby diners.Bobby leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms with a smug expression on his face.“This is beyond ridiculous,” he added, chuckling. “Even high-ranking officials have to wait months just to book a session with him, and you think he’ll rush here because you made one phone call?”Lydia nodded firmly, her lips pressed into a thin line as she stared at Kade with growing contempt.“You’ve clearly lost your mind,” she said coldly. “This isn’t just arrogance anymore. It’s delusion.”Their mocking voices filled the room, echoing with disbelief and ridicule as they continued to talk over one another, each comment sharper than the last.Gradually, their perception of Kade shifted.He was no longer just an arrogant man to them.He had become someone they
Who is Kade to You?
Lydia’s legs suddenly felt weak.The proud tea master who had stood so confidently only moments earlier now staggered backward, her balance faltering as the reality of the situation crashed down on her. Her breathing became shallow, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably at her sides.She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.The legendary Mandrake Kent had truly appeared.And he had come because of Kade.Meanwhile, Mandrake walked forward calmly, his steps steady and composed, his presence commanding immediate respect from everyone in the room. His sharp eyes swept across the space briefly, but he didn’t even acknowledge Lydia.Instead, he walked directly toward Kade.The movement alone stunned everyone.When he reached the table, the elderly master stopped and offered a polite, respectful smile.“Hello, Sir Kade,” Mandrake said warmly. “I came as soon as I received the call.”The words echoed through the silent room.Sir Kade.Not Mr.Not young man.Sir.Kade simply gave a small no
Bark like a dog
Mandrake turned his head slowly toward Kade, his eyes calm and respectful, then shifted his gaze back to Sherry.He understood the weight of her question.More importantly, he understood the danger of answering it truthfully.Revealing Kade’s real identity was not his place, and certainly not in a room filled with strangers who had just disrespected him. So he chose his words carefully, maintaining a composed expression.“Sir Kade,” Mandrake said evenly, “is a very good friend of mine.”He paused briefly, letting the words settle before continuing.“And he is someone I respect greatly.”The statement carried quiet authority.But instead of clarity, it created even more confusion.Around the table, skeptical expressions quickly formed.Sherry’s brows knitted together as disbelief flashed across her face. Bobby narrowed his eyes, clearly struggling to reconcile the image of the young man sitting casually before him with the powerful figure standing beside him.How could someone in his e
A perfect Tea
Mandrake gave a respectful nod.Without another word, he stepped forward and began preparing the tea.The room, which had moments earlier been filled with tension and humiliation, now settled into a quiet, almost reverent silence. Even the restaurant staff standing near the doorway instinctively straightened their posture, watching carefully as the legendary tea master performed his craft.Mandrake placed the polished kettle gently on the table.He first opened a small lacquered container and revealed the tea leaves inside. They were a rich, vibrant jade-green color, perfectly shaped and uniform, carrying a faint natural fragrance that immediately began to spread through the air.The aroma was subtle at first.Then, as he warmed the teapot with steaming water, the scent deepened, unfolding into layers of sweetness and earthiness that filled the entire private room. It was not overpowering, but refined—like a quiet melody that demanded attention without raising its voice.Elara found h
A Memorable Date
Kade held her gaze for a brief moment, his expression was calm.He had expected this question.Elara was intelligent, observant, and not easily fooled. What she had just witnessed would raise doubts in anyone’s mind. Revealing the truth about his connection to Mandrake—or about his past—would be a dangerous move, especially now when too many things were still in motion.So he chose his words carefully.“My master was very close to Mandrake Kent,” Kade said evenly.His tone carried quiet confidence, steady enough to sound convincing without revealing too much.“And as for today…” he continued, pausing briefly as if recalling the moment, “I happened to see him earlier while I was on my way here. He was already nearby, attending to another client.”He leaned back slightly in his chair, maintaining a relaxed posture.“We exchanged greetings,” he added. “So when this situation came up, I simply contacted him.”The explanation sounded simple and ordinary.But in reality, it was a carefully
The Sovereign of South City
A few minutes later, the soft hum of an engine approached the quiet street outside the Imperial Lotus Restaurant as a sleek black sedan rolled smoothly to a stop near the curb, its polished surface reflecting the warm glow of the streetlights. The driver’s door opened, and Victor stepped out, adjusting his jacket while scanning the area with sharp, practiced eyes as the cool night breeze rustled faintly against the trees lining the road.He quickly spotted Kade standing calmly near the entrance, his posture relaxed, hands resting casually in his pockets as if he had been waiting without a care in the world, and without wasting time, Victor walked straight toward him.“What’s up, Boss?” he greeted respectfully, giving a slight nod.Kade leaned lightly against the side of the sedan, his expression calm but thoughtful. “I need your help with something,” he said, his voice steady and direct.Victor didn’t hesitate for even a second. “Just say the word,” he replied firmly. “What do you nee
I’m the last survivor of the Hollow Family.
Victor’s expression stiffened the moment he heard the question.“Yes,” he said slowly. “I’ve heard about it.” His voice carried a cautious weight, as if he were stepping into dangerous territory.“The Hollow Incident was one of the biggest disasters in South City,” he continued, glancing briefly down the quiet street before returning his gaze to Kade. “It happened years ago. The entire Hollow family was wiped out overnight.” A faint crease formed between his brows as memories surfaced.“No one ever found out what really happened,” he added. “The only information released to the public was that it started with a fire outbreak—a tragic accident. That’s what the authorities said.” He paused for a moment, his jaw tightening slightly. “But everyone in the underground knew something felt off. A family that powerful doesn’t just disappear because of a simple fire.”The night air suddenly felt colder as Victor shifted his weight uneasily, his mind drifting to a particular place—one tied direc
