Ethan's suggestion left everyone speechless.
Mike looked at Ethan in astonishment, "Man, are you sure?"
Martin smiled slightly, "Heh, since Ethan is so interested, how can we let everyone down? Waiter, bring the drinks! Twenty bottles of whiskey! Tonight, let's make sure everyone has a good time!"
A sly smile appeared on Martin's lips. 'Since that's the case, I'll make sure you lose all your dignity in front of Sophia.'
Soon, a waiter arrived and placed twenty bottles of whiskey on the table.
Mike opened a bottle of whiskey and provocatively said, "If you can't handle it, don't force yourself. We won't have time to take you to the hospital!"
Sophia looked at Ethan with concern, while Ethan calmly opened a bottle of whiskey, "I haven't had the chance to drink freely in a long time. Tonight, let's have a good time!"
Saying this, Ethan gulped down the entire bottle of whiskey in just three seconds, leaving everyone stunned. 'This is whiskey, right? How did he down a whole bottle in three seconds? Did he just pour it straight into his stomach?'
Ethan put down the empty bottle and smiled, "Mike, do you need me to wait for you?"
Ethan's taunt infuriated Mike. He gritted his teeth and downed a bottle in about ten seconds. This was already to fast for him, and his stomach began feeling hot and uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Ethan grabbed two bottles of whiskey, opened them simultaneously, and gulped them down in another three seconds. He licked his lips, seemingly unsatisfied, "Is this really whiskey? I don't feel a thing!"
Everyone was shocked. 'This is the strongest whiskey they have! Did the hotel fill the bottles with water?'
Mike's face turned pale. He glanced at Martin, who gave him a fierce look. Not daring to embarrass Martin, Mike opened two more bottles and drank them. After two minutes, he finally finished, only to see Ethan opening four more bottles.
Ethan put two bottles of whiskey in front of Mike and smiled, "Here, I've opened the wine for you. Go ahead!"
The strong smell of alcohol hit Mike, and he couldn't hold it in anymore. He sat on the ground and threw up. Then, he lay down and instantly fell asleep.
Ethan took another bottle and drank it like it was water. After finishing, he looked at the others, "Anyone else want to drink? Whoever wants to, I can drink with you until you pass out!"
Martin's face turned sour, and he signaled the waiter to drag Mike aside. Then, he sighed, knowing he probably wouldn't get a chance to talk to Sophia tonight.
Soon, the food arrived. Sophia and a few female classmates she used to be close with started chatting. When they were almost done eating, Martin gave Tiffany a look.
Tiffany understood and smiled, asking him, "Martin, I heard you're having a personal concert at the National Stadium tomorrow?"
Martin smiled warmly, "Yes, I've been fortunate to achieve this thanks to my teachers' guidance! This time, I have the honor to hold a personal concert; I hope everyone who attends will enjoy the music!"
Tiffany pretended to be astonished, "Oh my God! Martin, you're amazing! I heard only top-tier stars can hold personal concerts at the National Stadium!"
Another female classmate also admired Martin, "Yes, I heard that too. All 100,000 tickets were sold out in less than three hours. Martin, you're incredible!"
Sophia politely said, "Martin, I'm really happy for you. I hope you keep excelling in music!"
Martin took out some tickets, "Thank you, Sophia! Here are some tickets I prepared for everyone. I hope you all come to my concert tomorrow!"
Martin handed the tickets to Sophia with a sincere expression, "Sophia, you'll come tomorrow, right?"
Sophia hesitated, "I…"
Tiffany snatched the concert tickets, "Don't worry! Not only will Sophia be there, but we'll all be there!"
Tiffany held Sophia's arm, feigning intimacy, "Sophia, I've completed your employment procedures. Let's take a day off tomorrow and go to the concert together!"
Seeing Tiffany's enthusiasm, Sophia could only nod, "Alright, let's go together tomorrow."
Martin chimed in sincerely, "Sophia, I hope you'll be the first person I see in the audience when I'm on stage tomorrow."
Everyone's eyes turned to Ethan, curious about his reaction to such a blatant challenge.
To their surprise, Ethan's expression remained unchanged. He smiled at Martin, "Martin, I have an interest in the piano myself. Could I also get a ticket?"
Martin looked at Ethan with curiosity, "You play the piano?"
Ethan replied calmly, "I know a little."
Tiffany suddenly sneered, a trace of disdain in her eyes, "Ha, it seems anyone can pretend to be cultured these days! Do you know how much a ticket costs? Giving it to someone who pretends to know how to play the piano is such a waste!"
Then, noticing Sophia's anger, Tiffany quickly put on an innocent and cute expression, "Sophia, you know me. I'm straightforward and say what's on my mind. I didn't mean anything by it. Don't take it to heart."
Sophia smiled awkwardly.
Martin generously handed a ticket to Ethan, "Since you like the piano, Ethan, you're welcome to enjoy my performance tomorrow."
Tiffany admired Martin, "Sophia, don't you think someone as handsome, talented, generous, and wealthy as Martin is rare in this world? If I were as beautiful as you, I'd marry him at all costs, even if it meant being his mistress!"
Tiffany held Sophia's hand, "Sophia, am I right?"
Sophia angrily replied, "Tiffany, that's not funny at all!"
Ethan's voice echoed, "Well, sorry, Tiffany, but you don't look as good as Sophia, so you don't even qualify to be a mistress."
