Chapter 256 Too Many Dishes


    Around noon, the five of them were gathered in a private room at the most upscale five-star hotel in Viremont.


    Cameron slid the menu over to Bradley, who was sitting next to him. "Brad, what do you want to eat?"


    Bradley took the menu and started flipping through it. Meanwhile, leaning back in his chair, Xander snapped his fingers and called, "Waiter."


    A staff member came over right away. "Yes, sir?"


    Xander said, "You guys have imported lobsters, right? Bring us ten to start."


    The waiter froze briefly, then double-checked, "Sir, each imported lobster is about 1, 000 dors. Are you sure you want ten?"


    Xander nodded. "Yeah, I''m sure."


    The waiter nodded and got ready to ce the order on his tablet.


    Bradley frowned. "Xander, can we even finish ten? Why are you being so over the top and wasteful?"


    ''Cameron is seriously strapped for cash, and Xander is only making things difficult for him on purpose,'' Bradley thought.


    Xander shrugged. "There''s five of us. How could we not finish ten lobsters? If you guys can''t eat it, I''ll handle it. If I can''t finish, I''ll just pack it up and take it home."


    Bradley was speechless, but Cameron said, "It''s fine, just order that."


    Xander shot Bradley a smug look, raising his eyebrows in victory. Then, he added, "And let''s get ten king crabs too."


    This time, Elijah frowned. "You here to eat or flex? Are you even paying for this?"


    Xanderughed. "Isn''t Cam footing the bill? He just won 300 thousand dors. What''s a fancy meal to him?"


    Elijah was rendered speechless as well.


    Then, Xander kept rattling off more extravagant dishes.


    Austin repeatedly coughed to remind him. "Xan, I think you ordered way too much. There are only five of us."


    Xander shrugged. "So what? Cam''s loaded."


    This time, Austin was the speechless one.


    The server, clearly sensing the tension, looked at Cameron for direction.


    Cameron waved him over, took the tablet and started trimming things down quietly-

    ten lobsters became five, same with the king crabs. She kept the variety, but just reduced the volume of each.


    Xander crossed his arms and shot Cameron a cold look. "What''s wrong, you little punk?


    Can''t afford it? If you can''t, why bother treating us?"


    Cameron replied, "You can always leave if you want."


    Xander sucked in a deep breath.


    Austin stepped in. "Come on, Xan and Cam. Let''s not ruin lunch. It''s rare we all get to hang out like this. Can we just get along?"


    Xander clicked his tongue. "Fine. Just for you. I won''t lower myself to his level.”


    Cameron didn''t even bother to look at him. But she thought, ''Childish idiot.''


    The server left with the revised order, and the room finally settled down a bit. Elijah looked over at Xander. "Didn''t you get 150 thousand dors too? When''s your treat?"


    Xander replied carelessly, "I''ll treat tonight. I''m not like a certain someone who''s so stingy you can''t even enjoy a meal. Order whatever you want tonight, and I won''t say no to anything."


    Bradley said coolly, "I''m busy tonight. You guys go ahead."


    Cameron chimed in, "I''m busy too."


    Xander rolled his eyes. "Come if you want, don''t if you don''t. Austin, Elijah, and I can celebrate together."


    Austin nced at Cameron and coughed a few times. "Sorry, Xan. I''ve got a doctor''s appointment tonight. Probably can''t make it."


    Elijah added, "I''m not going either."


    Xander was speechless, cursing inside, ''Damn it. Are they doing this on purpose? When it''s Cameron''s treat, everyone jumps at the chance. But when it''s my turn, no one can make it.


    ''Fine. Don''te then. Saves me money anyway.''
