Chapter 131 Being Followed
Although it was George’s first encounter with such a peculiar card, he quickly remembered the rumors of a ard so rare that only three of them existed within the country.
Naturally, even the richest Diatoranian couldn’t get their hands on this card.
It was the Golden Dragon card. The card had no limitations–even the most impossible amount of money would simply be accumulated by pooling together the funds of every single bank within Diatoran itself.
Anyone with such a card commanded respect akin to the divine. Their position and authority within society weren’t like that of any simple affluent businessman.
George started sweating buckets as he slowly realized the plain–looking man sitting before him was probably the biggest of big shots in Diatoran..
George lowered his voice and asked politely, “Is that the Golden Dragon card you’re holding?”
He couldn’t comprehend how Caspian could possess such a novelty. He could only wonder what terrifying identity Caspian was hiding in plain sight.
George composed himself and began to act cautiously. He was still suspicious of whether the card was genuine or not.
James was surprised to find George having such a sudden shift of attitude toward Caspian. Caspian was visit
Caspian was visibly annoyed. “It doesn’t matter as long as I can pay for the food.”
He felt that the owner was being too noisy.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring him the card machine!‘
George turned and raised his voice at the waiter beside him.
He couldn’t wait any second longer to find out if the card was truly genuine or not.
The waiter nodded his head and ran to fetch the machine.
Caspian had never planned to use the card if not for such a special occasion.
He saw fit to use the Golden Dragon card to treat Stephanie to a meal as a show of gratitude.. After all, he was only able to become the man he was now because of Stephanie’s care for him during his younger years.
Caspian keyed in the correct PIN numbers on the machine and successfully paid for the meal. James was also surprised that the peculiar–looking card was able to authorize payment. And the most surprised of all was George himself as he finally confirmed that Caspian’s

He already had his suspicions that Caspian was a man of extremely high status when he witnessed Sylvia dealing with his expensive b*dyguards with ease.
How else would such a powerful beauty be by his side if not for his even greater authority?
“Are we done here?” asked Caspian.
“My apologies. We’ll be leaving now.”
George was fully covered in sweat as he took a step back.
He realized he was lucky that a big shot like Caspian didn’t pay much attention to his disrespectful behavior.
James and the waiter were utterly confused as to why George was suddenly treating Caspian with the utmost respect.
“What are you guys doing? Get out! And make sure that their dishes are served first!” George ordered and led them out of the private room.
He realized that while Caspian had scared Jeremy and his men away, Caspian’s social standing was also probably even greater and more powerful than Belvin’s.
He also realized that he should just forget about the details and remain neutral between these two powerful individuals.
James went up to George and asked, “Boss, what’s going on? Why are you so polite all of a sudden?”
“Shut up, you dumbass! That customer isn’t someone we can afford to disrespect! We could’ve
died!”
James was still confused. “What? How do you know?”
“Shut up and just remember his face! If he were to show up at our hotel again, we must give him our best services and absolutely nothing but the best!”
George decided to remain silent about the Golden Dragon card as he knew that powerful men hated having their details exposed to the public.
“Yes, sir. I understand.”
James didn’t dare to ask any further questions as he noticed how serious George was about the
whole situation.
George continued, “Take this as a lesson. Never judge a book by its cover. Men who are truly powerful never flaunt their affluence and power.”
“What should we do about Mr. Lincoln, by the way?” asked James.

“Look, we’ll let them settle it themselves. We’re just gonna pretend nothing happened here in the hotel. I know we can’t afford to offend Jeremy, but the customer inside the room right now is even worse!” answered George.
He realized at Jeremy was probably just a mere ant in front of a holder of the Golden Dragon card like Caspian. Maybe even Belvin would have to lower his head in respect before him.
“I understand.”
James was trembling from fear as he listened to George’s warnings.
Stephanie was finally at ease as she watched the hotel employees leave.
“I think I almost had a heart attack, Caspian,” said Stephanie as she patted her chest.
“Sorry, Ms. Wildman. I didn’t mean to scare you like that.”
“Oh, no, it’s not your fault! Those hooligans are to blame for this. But anyway, why did the boss become so polite all of a sudden when he saw your card?” asked Stephanie.
“Customer is king, after all. It’s only natural that he would be polite when we’re paying the bill.
Caspian simply brushed off her question with an excuse.
He didn’t want to reveal much about the Golden Dragon card as it would be simply too much of a hassle to explain.
The three of them then enjoyed their meal and left the hotel.
On the way back to Stephanie’s house, Caspian requested Sylvia to park the SUV at the nearby
bank.
He wanted to take out some money and give it to Stephanie.
He pitied her and wanted to help out after seeing her working at the stall.
“Excuse me for a moment, Ms. Wildman. I’ve something I need to do in the bank.
Stephanie nodded and didn’t think much about it. “Okay.”
Caspian got out of the car and headed into the bank.
He took out 150 thousand dollars and returned to the car.
However, he didn’t immediately give the money to Stephanie.
“Ms. Wildman, you’re still single after all these years?”
Caspian tried to initiate some small talk

Stephanie was slightly embarrassed by the sudden question. “Nope, why do you ask?”
“I’m just worried that you don’t seem to be in a hurry to look for a partner. Are you really just going to remain single for the rest of your life?”
“Hey, new, are you suggesting that I’m unwanted? I’ll get married when I meet the right person, of course.”
At the same time, Caspian glanced at the rearview mirror and realized that there were multiple SUVS tailing after them..
Then, Sylvia asked for his opinion on the matter, “Caspian, what should we do about the cars following us?”
“We’ll teach them a lesson if they’re coming after us to cause any trouble, no matter who they are.”
Sylvia nodded and continued to drive. “Of course!”
Stephanie looked at the rearview mirror curiously as she overheard their conversation. She was shocked when she recognized who the cars belonged to.
She was visibly frightened as she explained, “This is bad! It’s Tony Brook’s men!”
