I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 930

Joaquin didn't notice Yulia's expression as he continued to exclaim, "Back then, I could already tell that you two were different. Now, it's clear that you both have become extraordinary individuals! One has blossomed into a stunning beauty, while the other has grown into a majestic figure! You've really made something of yourselves!"

Yulia smiled brightly and said, "That's because we have you to thank, Mr. Mccarty. Thank you so much for treating us to so many delicious plates of Spaghetti Bolognese all those years ago!

Now that I think about it, you have been suffering a tremendous loss by selling us a plate of delicious pasta for just 15 cents!"

"Oh, pish posh. It isn't a loss now that I've known the both of you have grown so well," Joaquin answered.

"If it weren't for you, you stubborn little lady, insisting on not accepting free food, I wouldn't have taken a single penny from you!"

Yulia took out her phone and scanned the QR code for payment displayed on the wall.

"However, I can't just pay you 15 cents for the meal I had today."

After she paid, she said solemnly, "Mr. Mccarty, I'm facing some financial difficulties with my job right now. So, I don't have much money to spare. However, I swear that the moment I overcome this hurdle, I'll make sure to repay all the money I owe you!"

Joaquin quickly waved his hand in dismissal and said, "Hey, now. What's with all this paying me back nonsense?! I'm more than happy to have both of you as my regulars again! I'll even personally cook the dishes you order whenever you come by!"

While they were talking, Kingsley had quietly taken out his phone and scanned the payment code.

At the same time, a mechanical female voice suddenly came from the counter, announcing robotically, "Received on Venmo, 150 thousand."

"Received on Venmo, 150 thousand."

"Received on Venmo, 150 thousand."

It repeated three times in a row!

Joaquin was so shocked that he immediately fell silent, trying to decipher whether he had started hearing things due to old age.

"B-But this is too much!" Joaquin anxiously exclaimed, "No, I absolutely cannot accept this money!"

"Why can't you accept it?" Kingsley sincerely asked. "If it weren't for you adding so much beef to my pasta back then, how could I have grown such a strong body? Let alone earn this much money! So, you see, this is exactly what you deserve!"

Joaquin repeatedly waved his hands and blabbered, "But this is too much! Way too much!"

He was so anxious that his face had started flushing crimson. Alas, he had yet to learn how to operate all these contraptions just to return the money to Kingsley.

He didn't even understand how to use a smartphone, for God's sake, let alone operate a transfer!

"It's not too much!" Kingsley placed his arm around Yulia's shoulder and said to Joaquin, "We will still come here often to eat your pasta in the future! When we do, we'll only pay 15 cents per plate! So, consider this as me paying in advance! Besides, you wouldn't want to tarnish this beautiful memory that we share with something like money, would you? I sincerely hope that our 15-cent bond will stay strong!"

When he noticed that Joaquin was about to say something else in protest, Kingsley gently ruffled Ethan's head.
