Chapter 154 Limited Edition Black Card
He recognized the black card Jonathan was holding.
It was a limited edition black card from Citibank.
In the whole of Chanaea, there were less than ten cards issued. In fact, Jazona itself might not even have a single one.
To qualify for the card, one had to have a net worth of at least ten billion. Even then, one had to go through a strict selection process at Citibank.
Being wealthy alone wasn’t enough. One had to have strong connections and wield immense influence before one could pass Citibank’s demanding requirements.
Alfred wasn’t the only one who recognized the card.
Even the salesperson who was standing in the corner knew what the black card meant. After all, he had frequently surfed the internet and watched many movies. In the movies, everyone who carried a black card was a big tycoon worth hundreds of millions.
They would either ride in a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley.
At the very least, they would own a sports car that was worth millions.
However, Jonathan didn’t look like a wealthy person to him at all.
None of Jonathan’s clothes were branded. In fact, everything on him cost less than two hundred.
Also, what happened earlier cemented the salesperson’s impression of Jonathan. Both of them couldn’t afford a watch that was one million and were only prepared to buy one that was ten thousand.
How can someone like that own a black card? Can it be a fake?
“Please wait a moment while I go get the ladies’ version.” After giving Jonathan a doubtful look, the salesperson returned to the display cabinet and brought out a similar-looking safe deposit box.
Inside the box was a watch that looked exactly the same as the one from earlier. The only difference was that it had a rose gold phoenix carved inside instead of a dragon.
Evidently, this was a pair of couple watches.
“This was also carved personally by the world-famous designer. Naturally, it is also a global limited edition and forms a pair with the other watch. It also costs eighteen million, but there will be a discount if you purchase both of them.”
Although he didn’t think Jonathan would buy both watches, he still explained it nonetheless.
After all, he had already brought it out, and it wouldn’t hurt to describe it a little.
“Not bad!” After giving it a quick look, he turned to the salesperson. “I’ll take them.”
“You’ll take them?”
The salesperson’s eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Jonathan’s words.
Did I hear it wrong? He couldn’t afford a watch that was one million just now, and yet, he is asking me to wrap one up that’s tens of millions?
“Yes, I’m buying both of them.” Jonathan pushed his black card toward the salesperson. “Swipe it!”
“Sir, are you messing with me?” The salesperson was surprised by Jonathan’s words.
He looked as if he was questioning Jonathan’s ability to afford it.
“Do I look like I’m kidding to you?” Jonathan sneered.
“Sir, even after the discount, the watches will still cost more than thirty million!”
The salesperson couldn’t resist reminding Jonathan, as if to tell him that he should quit fooling around.
“I know!” Jonathan had lost his patience. “Swipe it!”
“Alfred…” The young lady was crying her eyes out as tears rolled down her cheeks. Meanwhile, the salesperson was suddenly shocked after swiping Jonathan’s card with a beep. In fact, he even broke out in cold sweat.
“S-Sir, i-is there a problem with your card?” When he saw the numbers behind the card, he felt a chill down his spine and stuttered while he spoke.
“What’s the problem?” Jonathan frowned slightly.
He had used the card for many years and never encountered any issues.
Hence, it came as a surprise that he was facing one all of a sudden.
“I-I don’t know.” The salesperson felt his knees go weak.
Ten million… A billion… Ten billion…
Looking at the string of numbers at the back of the card, the salesperson felt his vision go dark and his head spinning at the same time.
In fact, he even wondered if he was seeing things.
After all, Jonathan didn’t look like someone who carried around ten billion with him.
The salesperson had never seen a bank card that had a balance of ten billion his entire life.
“You don’t know?” Jonathan’s expression darkened.
“I-I really don’t know.” The salesperson grew so anxious that he was on the brink of tears. “M-Maybe there’s a problem with our system. Let me get the manager.”
Just as he spoke, the salesperson fled in terror.
After all, he couldn’t afford to offend someone who carried a globally limited edition black card that contained ten billion.
