Chapter 764


    Holy cow!


    ke found himself slightly overwhelmed as he noticed the collective gaze


    aimed his way.


    Who on earth did I rub the wrong way? I stepped out of the car, and now, I’m


    being branded as ugly?


    With a fierce re, he locked eyes with Tommy and issued a threat. “You little


    brat, have you no sense of manners? Has your father not taught you


    anything? How can you speak so rudely? If you were my child, I would


    definitely spank your little butt for sure!”


    “Well, it’s true that you’re uglier than my dad!” Tommy retorted.


    He even made a funny face before promptly seeking refuge behind Tia, using


    her as a shield against the situation.

    “I’m sorry about that! Kids have a knack for the unexpected. I’ll certainly


    reprimand him once we’re back. My deepest apologies…”


    Ryder offered a swift apology on behalf of his son as he bowed repeatedly.


    “ke, why are you getting so worked up?”


    At this moment, Magnus also got off the Coro and smiled as he said, “In


    fairness, the kid isn’t entirely wrong. You are a tad uglier than his dad. Kids are


    honest, you know, and that’s a fine quality!”


    After enduring ke’s yful banter over the past days, Magnus finally


    seized the opportunity to strike back. A sense of revenge settled in.


    ke remained silent in frustration.


    Attention shifted to Magnus, and gradually, a sense of awe spread through


    the crowd.


    There was an ineffable aura surrounding this young man-an inexplicable air


    of presence.

    His background seemed well-off, yet his attire wasn’t extravagant. Still, he


    emanated a distinct air of superiority.


    Donning sses and carrying himself with a poised and gracious demeanor,


    he nodded in acknowledgment to anyone who met his gaze.


    When his gaze fell on Tia, she quickly averted her eyes.


    Only then did Magnus and ke proceed to step into the restaurant.


    The spectacle unfolding at the entrance left the onlookers bewildered. A rural


    farmer driving a luxury car with a beautiful woman for a meal while a


    sophisticated young man arrived in an ordinary car with an unattractive


    man? Such a scene sparked spection among the bystanders.


    “Well, Tia, shall we head in as well?”


    Ryder felt very uneasy. He worried about any mistaken assumptions of his


    financial status-after all, the Maserati was not his.


    “Okay.”


    Tia took the initiative to hold Tommy’s hand as they entered together.


    The interior of the restaurant was quite modest, the space manageable. All


    the dining tables were arranged within arge hall.


    Misled by their respective vehicles, the restaurant owner seated Ryder’s


    group at arger table and Magnus and ke at a smaller one.


    “Why the staring? Do you want to call me ugly again?”

    ke noticed Tommy’s gaze had been on him the whole time, so he yfully


    bared his teeth and ws. “Let me tell you, when I was your age, I was even


    fairer, more handsome, and cuter than you!”


    “I don’t believe you!” Tommy responded innocently, “You’re not only ugly, but


    you’re also a big bragger! My dad doesn’t do that. He’s more handsome than


    you and way more honest. He admits that he’s not good-looking!”


    Pffft.


    Tia couldn’t hold back herughter.


    Ryder’s face turned red with anger. This bratty kid sure has a lot to say!


    “Oh, you don’t believe me, huh? I’ve got a witness! If my words aren’t


    convincing, just ask him!” ke eximed excitedly, pointing at Magnus.


    He was determined to win this argument against the brat.


    Magnus innocently blinked his eyes.


    “Hmph, he’s your friend, so he’d take your side! Anyway, you’re just uglier than


    my dad. There’s no way you were cuter than me when you were younger!”


    Tommy ced his hand on his lips and held his head high.


    “Oh my, you’re driving me crazy!”


    As ke thought about how to turn the tables, his agitation grew to a point


    where he began to scratch his head in frustration.


    Without uttering a word, Magnus looked at him and smiled.

    He was acutely aware that, in his earlier days, ke had been regarded as


    strikingly handsome, perhaps even more so than himself.


    Unfortunately, ke’s intensive training and indulgence in women made him


    less appealing than the weathered-skinned elderly farmer seated across the


    table.
