บท 56: Two different worlds of people
"Wendy, you should know my feelings for you!" Carlton said to Wendy, "How could you be like this with another man?"
"Why can't I?" Wendy still didn't look at Carlton. "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with others."
"But your parents also hope that we can be together!" Carlton said, "They definitely wouldn't want to see you with a man like this in such a small place."
"I told you, this is my business, it has nothing to do with others!" Wendy finally looked at Carlton, her beautiful face covered in frost. "Not even my parents can interfere!"
"But you shouldn't be with a man like this either," Carlton said.
Jake didn't want to speak, just be a tool, Jake couldn't help but speak up at this moment. "But what do you mean? What's wrong with a man like me? Am I missing an arm or a leg? Or maybe I have three hands and two heads?"
"Hmph! You should look at yourself in the mirror, just a toad dreaming of eating swan meat!" Carlton said.
"I've noticed that you rich people like to be self-righteous," Carlton's words reminded Jake of Bill from last night. Both of them were wealthy and thought highly of themselves. "Besides having parents who are richer than me, what else do you have?"
"Just based on that, I can crush you like a bug!" Carlton said.
"Carlton! If you dare to use your despicable means against him, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wendy glared at Carlton, then stood up and said to Jake, "Let's go."
"Are we leaving just like that? We haven't finished the meal yet," Jake said with some regret. After a half-day of exercise in the afternoon, Jake was tired and hungry. He thought he could eat more tonight, but now they were leaving after only a few bites. However, seeing Wendy's expression, Jake knew that he couldn't continue eating.
"Jake!" Carlton said to Jake, "I advise you to have some self-awareness. You and Wendy are people from two different worlds. If you have any unrealistic ideas, the one who will end up in misery is you!"
"Thanks for the reminder," Jake clasped his hands together and smiled. "My biggest advantage is self-awareness."
"Hmph!" Carlton snorted, "Words are useless! This world speaks with strength, and you're like an ant in front of us."
Jake raised an eyebrow and said, "Sometimes, ants can bite elephants to death."
After saying that, Jake turned around and left the private room with Wendy, leaving Carlton standing there with a gloomy expression. It was only after Jake and Wendy's figures had completely disappeared that Carlton took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Dirk? I want you to help me investigate someone, Jake! The physical education teacher who competed against the head chef at Kailomen last night! I want all his information!" Carlton said.
After hanging up the phone, Carlton muttered to himself, "How dare he snatch away the woman I've set my eyes on? Jake, I'll make you realize your own insignificance!"
When Carlton saw Jake yesterday, he didn't have any special impression of him. In fact, he even praised Jake's culinary skills. He didn't expect that they would meet again so soon, and their relationship would reach this point.
However, even so, Carlton still didn't pay much attention to Jake. As he said, Jake and their worlds were completely different, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to get rid of Jake if he wanted to.
On the other hand, Jake was also thinking about what just happened. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect Carlton to be such a formidable opponent."
When Jake realized that he had become a scapegoat and might become enemies with Carlton, he secretly used an appraisal technique on Carlton. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy leads to victory in a hundred battles. Since they might become enemies, it was better to gather information about each other in advance.
However, the information Jake obtained was somewhat surprising. Name: Carlton, from the capital city of HX country, 26 years old, proficient in Black Shadow Fist style, arrogant, willing to use any means to achieve his goals. Although Jake obtained more information than before, it was still relatively limited compared to others. This indicated that Carlton's strength was similar to Jake's, or perhaps even stronger. Among the information, there was one piece that caught Jake's interest.
"Proficient in Black Shadow Fist style." This was the first time Jake encountered an introduction to martial arts in reality. He thought he would only see such things in another game-like dimension, but he didn't expect to encounter it in reality. This indicated that the world he was in was not as simple as he had initially thought. Perhaps the martial arts described in novels also existed in reality.
"No wonder Carlton said that he and I are from different worlds. He probably thinks of himself as just an ordinary person while they exist on a level that ordinary people cannot reach," Jake thought as he looked at Wendy in front of him.
He remembered that when he used the appraisal technique on Wendy before, he obtained limited information. This indicated that she was in a similar situation to Carlton, and she might have also learned some martial arts, making it difficult for him to explore her detailed information.
"I wonder what kind of world they come from. The previous me might never have had the opportunity to come into contact with it, but now it's different," Jake thought.
Being able to be transported to another world, constantly enhancing his strength through upgrades, Jake had infinite possibilities. Although he was currently weak and might not even be able to defeat Carlton, Jake believed that given some time, he could surpass Carlton and even Wendy without much difficulty. Therefore, Jake didn't feel too much pressure at the moment.
"Wait!" Just as Jake and Wendy reached the entrance of the restaurant, a familiar voice called out to them, causing Jake to feel somewhat surprised. The person who called them was Alan, the one who had competed against Jake last night.
"Mr. Jake, I have something to tell you," Alan said to Jake.
Wendy looked at Jake and said, "I'll wait for you outside." Since it wasn't Carlton, Wendy didn't have any concerns.
"Alright," Jake replied.
