The Super Billionaire System

Chapter 4

There were no security personnel by the door, so he just waltzed in. Places like this restaurant used to have a high security system.

It’s quite strange that they didn’t have anyone by their front door.

Lyon didn’t think much of it, he just walked to the corner of the restaurant that barely had anyone. He saw the waiters moving about to serve the other customers so he stayed put for his turn while observing the ambience of the place and all the types of people that came in.

After a moment of observing, his mind lingered on the money he had gotten from system X. Getting a house would be the first  thing on his agenda, there was no way he would go back to live in the apartment that would remind him of the kind of life he had lived in the past.

Raising another man’s kids and letting his wife whom he thought truly belonged to him dictated how he lived.

He gave her his salary once he received it then she would give him a portion for bus fare for the month, while she spent the rest on whatever she liked.

Lyon didn’t mind this as long as she was happy and they had food to eat, plus the kids were in school. 

Unknown to him, he had just been a fool.

“Sir, are you waiting for someone?” A waiter asked, shifting his focus back to reality.

“No! I am waiting for my order to be taken.” He replied subtly as his eyes went straight to the clock, an hour had passed.

With a sarcastic smile on the waiter’s face, he replied, “I am afraid our policy doesn't allow us to serve free food.”

Lyon looked at the waiter confused, who continued speaking.

“We are aware that other low-class restaurants may offer that but I think you should know that luxury places like ours would not do such a thing.”

The waiter scanned Lyon’s appearance from head to toe. “You have a fine face and a great body, perhaps you are waiting to pick up a sugar mommy or daddy here. whores like you should be at a brothel!” 

“Excuse me!” Lyon exclaimed in disbelief. “I can't believe I have been waiting an hour for you to come take my order and this is what I get.”

“Whoa Whoa, one would think you’ve got some money sitting in your account from the tone you are using with me.” The waiter frowned. “But you are in luck tonight, I am in a good mood and your face is speaking to me.”

He slipped a card on the table. “Give me a call later, I will link you up with some of our VVIP clients. Knowing how they are, they will be interested in you. So be a good boy,leave before things get a bit messy.”

Lyon was overly irritated, as hunger was starting to cloud his emotions. He was literally starving. “Pass me the damn menu before things get ugly!” He threatened.

Ding!

[Operator is advised to keep their cool and not let their emotions cloud their judgment.] 

Lyon ran his hand through his hair. There was no way he could at that moment reply to the system, especially with the waiter who was a natural guesser.

He had already assumed he was an escort or whore of some sort, if he replied to system X, he might add madness to this assumption about him and he did not want to add that to the mix.

The only way to work this out was to remain calm, “Look, I just want to buy some steak and a bottle of liquor. I am not here for free food, I am going to pay for everything I am having.”

Why would anyone walk into this place for free food? 

“We do not sell cheap steak or alcohol here. Save yourself the embarrassment and leave before my manager comes here herself.” the waiter warned him.

“X, are you seriously going to make me beg before I have some food?” Lyon thought to himself but of course the system could not hear his thoughts.

“How about you just take my order, let me pay and get back to work?” Lyon asked, still managing to keep it together as he brought his phone out of his pocket to check the time.

“Is that an iphone 6s?” The waiter scoffed. “Even my little brother uses an iphone 14 pro max. Am I supposed to believe that someone like you that is yet to upgrade from a phone that was released in 2015 could afford to buy anything off our menu?”

“Take a look around, can you see anyone using any iPhone model older than the iPhone 16  here?”

Lyon took a look around the waiter was right but he had his money in bank app, isn’t that what should matter,

“In fact, I will get my manager right away.” the waiter said before disappearing into the kitchen.

Lyon looked into his phone and searched for other steak places, but it was almost 4am, the next place he could find some was about an hour away. He  palmed his face and threw his head backward and he completed walking away and going to bed on an empty stomach or just fighting to get his order.

“Hello sir,” a female voice called quietly, he looked in her direction, the waiter from before was standing behind her.

“My staff had explained the situation to me, he said you are here for a free meal and he had explained that we do not offer  that to you but you insisted on getting a plate of free food and even requested that he get me.”

“I am a very busy person, sir, and the only reason why we haven't had security kick you out is because we do not want to irritate the other customers as they do not like that. I would like you to leave to avoid interference from the police.”
