"Shut up!" Bruce roared angrily. "Apologize immediately and beg for the esteemed guest's forgiveness!" "Mr. Lewis, I really didn't make a mistake. Why should I apologize?" Startled by Bruce, the sales clerk stammered,, "If you don't believe me, you can check the machine yourself. This card has no balance!" "Nonsense, I'll explain why today!" Bruce raised his voice. "That's right! During your training, it was mentioned that our Centurion Black Card is entirely black. Yet, we never anticipated that a top-tier black card would appear in Philadelphia! The distinguishing mark of a top-tier black card is the gold trim around the head! Only black cards with gold trim are the most elite! For such a top-tier black card, the World Bank would pay for it, without the holder spending a single penny!" Bruce trembled, realizing the terrifying value of the card. . He had only seen pictures of it and had never witnessed a physical card. So, who exactly was Talon to possess such a card "This!!!" The sales assistant's body went limp. She understood and knew what a top-tier black card meant. Holy Christ! This kind of card shouldn't even appear in Philadelphia. Who exactly was this person to hold such a top-tier black card? All the guards' bodies went weak, collapsing to the ground, while the two women stared at Talon in shock. How could this be? Not only did he have a bank-recognized black card, but he didn't have to pay for it himself. Bruce's last words were crystal clear: being able to pay for someone holding this card was a lifelong honor and a lifetime of luck. Who exactly was this Talon? "I told you this card couldn't be fake, huh." Talon barely glanced at Bruce, who was bowing in front of him, and instead, he asked the sales assistant indifferently, "You charged me thirty six thousand dollars for trying on clothes earlier; what should I do about that?" The sales assistant felt like jumping off a building. If the owner of the top-tier supreme card wanted to make things difficult for her, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger. With just one word from him, she wouldn't survive until tomorrow morning. "I'm sorry, sir, please forgive me. I really had no idea there was a top-tier black card." The sales assistant was trembling all over, constantly apologizing. I will pay for the fitting fee out of my salary! I promise I will never make the same mistake again at work! Please, please forgive me..." "This..." Ariya was already paralyzed with fear. She never imagined that the bank card Talon held had such prestige. What kind of background does her man have? Just Skysoar Group shouldn't earn such respect. She realized that she knew too little about her man. "Never mind, pack the evening dress my wife likes." Hearing this, the sales assistant didn't dare delay any longer, sincerely and swiftly prepared everything, and handed it to Talon. The two women were so shocked that they couldn't move, only watching the couple leave with wide eyes. Did they... provoke such a big shot? *** Half an hour later, Talon and Ariya reached the hotel entrance. "Talon, can I ask you, what exactly is with that card?" Ariya hesitated as she got out of the car. "You mean this card? Someone gave it to me. If you like it, you can have it." Talon handed the top-tier supreme black card to Ariya as if it meant nothing to him. "You..." Ariya was both amused and exasperated. "If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to lie. I just checked, there are probably only three of these cards in the world. Who could give it to you?" "I'm serious. Tina begged me to accept this card." Talon said helplessly. "I don't believe it even more. Miss Tina is a legend in our industry. How could she have any connection with you?" Ariya pouted. "These days, even when you tell the truth, no one believes you." Talon shook his head in frustration. The valet who had been waiting at the entrance parked the car in the underground garage, and Talon led Ariya into the Philadelphia Hotel. Just as Ariya was about to enter the main hall and Talon went to the restroom, a voice suddenly came from the side. "Ariya? I didn't expect to see you here! I heard the Willis family sold their clothing factory. Why are you still around?" Ariya turned around and saw a woman with long hair in an evening gown, her hand resting on the arm of a bald man. The woman stared at Ariya in surprise. "Angel?" Ariya was also stunned. It was the classmate she had a bit of a grudge with in college. After graduation, they lost contact, and she never expected to meet her here. She heard that after graduation, Angel Hughes married a businessman, presumably the bald man beside her. Angel looked Ariya up and down, seeing her dressed in an evening gown with a sparkling necklace around her neck. Her eyes immediately filled with disdain as she said, "A woman who has been used up, and a woman who got pregnant before marriage, how can you appear so well-dressed here? There must still be plenty of rich men around; otherwise, how could you afford such nice clothes?" "Angel, we used to be classmates. Please don't speak so harshly!" Ariya retorted angrily, raising an eyebrow. "What did I say wrong? Weren't you pregnant before marriage, leading the Willis family downhill? And you cheated the Gray family; Bertie canceled the wedding. Do you think I don't know?"Angel looked Ariya up and down with disdain. She added. "By the way, all the elite families in Philadelphia might be at this event today. You wouldn't be trying to cling to someone powerful and pull another scam, would you? If so, you're mistaken. Do you think men are fools? The same trick doesn't work twice! Oh, I forgot, your oral skills must be good. Maybe some men are still willing to pay for that!" Her hostility toward Ariya was obvious, as she was not giving Ariya a chance to speak and deliberately saying the most hurtful things. "Oh, so Mrs. Willis is really good in bed?" The bald man greedily eyed Ariya, swallowing hard. "That's great! You can name your price!" "After the banquet, my friends and I would be interested in spending time with you together. As for the price, you can rest assured." "You're willing to take someone used by others? You're so annoying." Angel gave the bald man a push. "What's the problem? Sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone. Everyone having fun together is the best." The bald man remained unmoved. "Alright then. Count me in. I'll record it for you." Angel laughed happily from the side. "You, you..." During their four years of college, Angel's sharp tongue had always been a challenge for Ariya. Ariya couldn't believe that Angel had become even more vindictive after graduation. Ariya gritted her teeth, her face flushed as she said, "I'm here representing Yuvi Group by Miss Tina's invitation, not like what you said!" "Oh, really? Yuvi Group is your Willis family's rival. How could they hire you? Isn't Pola at Yuvi Group? I haven't heard her mention anything about it. And invited by Miss Tina? Just because you're prettier and show more skin?" Angel sneered with contempt. "Not because of that, but because I have the invitation!" Ariya was furious and began to rummage through her bag. But her initial anger quickly turned to panic. She clearly remembered putting it in her bag, so why was it missing? "What's wrong? Don't tell me you lost your invitation!" Seeing Ariya's panic, Angel took out an invitation from her own pocket. "Look, is this yours? Oh, it's not? So you admit you sneaked in to try and hook a rich guy?" Angel couldn't stop laughing. Ariya was not only prettier but also had better grades, so she was naturally happy to see her in a tough spot. She wondered if Pola would take a video of Ariya's embarrassment and post it online. "For events like this, we don't need invitations. They're just for common people like you." At this moment, Talon walked over and stood beside Ariya, speaking calmly. Angel was slightly taken aback but couldn't help but laugh. "Who is this? Could it be your husband who left for five years and just came back? How ridiculous. Do you know who my husband is? Owen Webb, the chairman of Wanzone Group!" "Wanzone Group's power in Philadelphia is well known! Even at its peak, your Willis family's wealth couldn't compare to a tenth of Wanzone Group's! For example, our family received two invitations for this event, while you didn't get any. That's the difference!" She added. "Ha, what if we get in without invitations?" Talon remained unfazed, looking at Angel. "Ha, are you challenging me?" Angel's eyes widened. "Alright, let's bet! Whoever loses will beg here. If you get in, I lose. If you can't, you lose! Do you dare to bet?"
