Chapter 8: The Supreme Box (4)

After the waitresses took the order they poured some tea for them and left.

The atmosphere inside the box suddenly became quiet.

Lee Minho didn't utter a single word, after all he was in the evaluation. In line with the principle of adapting to all changes he's always prepared.

Choi Jaywon and the others were also sitting there obediently without saying a word, resulting to the atmosphere becoming a litle awkward.

'It's not going to work like this, if you don't say a word, how can you evaluate it?' As Lee Minho has this kind of thought.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, then put them down the teacup while thinking about how to speak to break the awkward atmosphere.

Kang Taehyun, who was sitting across from Lee Minho, suddenly stood up and strides toward Lee Minho's side.

He then picked up the teapot himself, and poured the tea for Lee Minho.

That moment made Lee Minho surprised. The action was fast that Lee Minho couldn't help but be stunned.

After pouring the tea for Lee Minho. Kang Taehyun then sat back to his seat then poured for himself.

He then looked at Lee Minho with a smile. "Thank you very much for letting us go with your box otherwise we don't know where we could have dinner tonight."

This attitude cannot only be called respectful but also looked like a flattering.

"You're welcome."

Despite being puzzled by his attitude Lee Minho picked up his teacup and clicked glasses with him.

Kang Taehyun's cup can be seen was lower than Lee Minho's.

With Kang Taehyun's action the awkward atmosphere in the room was finally gone.

Choi Jaywon and the other three did the same. They offered a cup to Lee Minho one by one.

Soon after, the food that they ordered came. They then began to talk at each other while eating.

During the meal Lee Minho perfectly performed the dinning etiquette that he learned from the system.

Every movement was not only graceful but also elegant. It can be said the he is performing well.

Facing the topics that Choi Jaywon and the others raised enthusiastically. Lee Minho was able to pick it up with ease.

Fortunately the topics were just ordinary. It's just some small talk about friends and family. When it comes to the high-level topics it is about the finances and economics which Lee Minho can't keep up.

The whole meal process took over about one and half hour.

The food and their delicacies are very delicious from dishes to the soup all the way to the desert. It's really worth it.

When Choi Jaywon went to pay the bill. He found out that the meal was already been paid.

And after knowing that Lee Minho didn't come by a car. They immediately offered to drive him back home but Lee Minho refused.

He just met this rich second generations by a chance. And he's only here for the systems evaluation.

Lee Minho knew that although he have the system to pay for everything but Lee Minho was still poor.

Looking at back of Lee Minho who was walking away. The smiles of Choi Jaywon and the others disappeared and only a serious face remained.

Yoon Jungsu asked suspiciously. "That's the Supreme Box just now. Just who is he? I've never heard his name before."

Choi Jaywon also echoed. "Yeah. When I went to pay the bill just now, I found that it has been already paid. But he didn't even leave his seat."

Seo Inguk remembered something then said to Kang Taehyun. "Taehyun do you know his identity? Otherwise why would you toast a cup with him just now?"

Jung Jinso look simple and a little fat but actually very smart also said. "Yeah Taehyun hurry up and tell us what's his background of that man?"

Although they are called rich second generation but they're only at the fifth line in the Kyoto circle.

But Kang Taehyun is different. Kang Taehyun comes from the Kang family in Kyoto although it is a collateral branch but with the power of his Kang family's main branch they can afford the Supreme Box in Autumn Winds Restaurant.

Kang Taehyun didn't answer but asked. "Have you guys seen his watch?" After asking he then give them a omnious glare.

"I saw it. That's a pretty good watch so what about it?" Choi Jaywon ask with puzzled face.

After hearing that Kang Taehyun gave Choi Jaywon a black looks then turned at Yoon Jungsu and the others.

"What about you guys. Did you see it."

Yoon Jungsu and the others shook their heads in unison.

But Seo Inguk couldn't take it anymore and said directly. "Taehyun don't be foolish and get straight to the point."

Jung Jinso said anxiously. "What's wrong with that watch?"

Kang Taehyun finally answered.

"That is not an ordinary luxury watch but the Star Series Limited Edition Collectors Watch." He then added on.

"That watch is made by the president of the Star Company himself and there's only an exclusive of five designs in world."

"What!!"

Choi Jaywon and the others exclaimed in surprised.

That collectors watch is very known to the high echelons. It is said that the other four was already have an owner and the other one is still a mystery.

Now the mysterious owner have appeared in front of them just now.

Yoon Jungsu wondered. "Could it be fake? Taehyun did you see it clearly?"

Jung Jinso also said. "You just glance at them a little maybe you took it wrong and mistake it for the collectors watch."

Seo Inguk didn't speak but there's a suspicion in his eyes.

Kang Taehyun got angry.

"Are you stupid? People who can book the Supreme Box are wearing a fake watch? Besides I already know what the original looks like."

Seeing Kang Taehyun's certainty they became even more puzzled.

Who the hell is Lee Minho? A young man who's wearing a 58 million worth collectors watch.

The extravagance of gestures, elegance and confidence truly doesn't belong to normal people.

With that they began to check his background and identity.
