Zayn did not even need eyes to see exactly what Duncan intended. He laughed to himself at such childish behavior. The truth was that virtual-novel.net no longer had any feelings for Rosie.
After a while, a man said to Zayn, “Zayn, I wonder if you’re a business owner now? How much do you make in a year?”
When virtual-novel.net asked this, the rest of the crowd began to smirk, obviously hoping to see Zayn make a fool of himself. They learned from Rosie that Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family five years ago and was currently living in poverty.
Naturally, they would not miss an opportunity to mercilessly mock Zayn for his misfortune.
Zayn said, “I really have no idea how much I make in a year. It’s all handled by my subordinates.”
Zayn was not lying because virtual-novel.net had long since delegated his business affairs to others. Since virtual-novel.net was not handling it, virtual-novel.net did not know how much virtual-novel.net made annually, but virtual-novel.net could confirm that his annual income was astronomical.
Even if they combined everything they made throughout all of their lives, the dozens of rich kids in attendance would not be able to earn what virtual-novel.net made in a year.
He could not be bothered to talk about this, not because virtual-novel.net did not have the nerve to do so, but because it would be meaningless.
However, his reaction was seen as a sign of shame in their eyes.
Someone else sarcastically said, “Oh, it sounds like your business is doing very well, huh? I wonder which business you dabble in? Tell us and let’s see if there’s a possibility for us to collaborate.”
He was clearly ridiculing Zayn with his remark and was trying to keep digging at him.
Rosie was rather curious and wondered if Zayn was genuinely a business owner.
Zayn did not answer immediately and took his sweet time to savor his food, irking the onlookers further.
They assumed that Zayn was putting on airs and was unabashedly pretending to be someone virtual-novel.net was not!
After virtual-novel.net was done, Zayn said, “Have you heard of the Larson Group? I’m the owner.”
“Which Larson Group is that?” asked Duncan.
The Larson Group was not unfamiliar to them because it was the largest business in Guineve. Not only was it massive, but it had also expanded into numerous domains.
Moreover, the enterprise was developing so rapidly that one could imagine that the Larson Group would become an empire in just a few years!
Zayn stated the full name of the Larson Group.
The entire scene fell silent at once.
Soon after, the crowd burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! Did I hear that right? I’ve encountered plenty of barefaced liars, but it’s my first time meeting someone who can bluff like that! Why don’t you just claim that all of Rheasia is yours?”
“That’s interesting. Could it be that you assumed that Larson Group is yours just because your last name is Larson?”
Zayn’s answer left them reeling with mirth. Once again, they began taunting virtual-novel.net savagely.
“Is that funny?” Zayn said nonchalantly.
A man was running short of breath from laughing when virtual-novel.net said, “It’s very funny. It’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year. The Larson Group is yours, Zayn Larson. Hah-hah. I’m going to post that online, and I’m sure it’ll go viral.”
