This was too Incredible!
So... so... so these tokens would give everyone here 4/10th (40%) off any meal or beverage they purchase for the next Two years?
~Hiss!
Many sucked in their breaths, too shocked by what they just heard.
Great! Great! They stayed loyal and won the bet!
Many smiled so hard that their mouths began hurting crazily. Their lips were quivering and their eyes dancing in excitement.
Lily Rain Restaurant was now their all time favorite restaurant engraved in their hearts. Seeing their excitement, the staff smiled while taking down their names.
Additionally, everyone was to whisper Two passwords only they can know. In future, before each meal, they will be asked to whisper the secret names to confirm authenticity.
Striking facial features were also noted without them even knowing it. All information will be kept in a safe place and can only be assessed by a special group of people in the restaurant.
Everyone might think one of those people might be a manager, but Julius wouldn't make it so obvious.
Only a special group of people can confirm the authenticity of the token holders who eat at the restaurant. These people will be the only ones who can bill the Token holders since they will be the only ones allowed to access Holder information.
Julius planned to purchase another building close by, whether they can run to in order to check the information and return.
The token holders must whisper their passwords before every meal so that these special people can go verify and return before the meal ends. They will have ample time to do so since the email hasn't even been served yet.
It was amazing that all this came into Julius's mind in just a few seconds after seeing the loyal group still eating at his restaurant.
…
One by one, the staff took down all needed information about all their loyal customers… all 21 of them, including Susan and Oden. In the past when Lily Rain was bustling, one could walk in and see at least 200 people from the ground floor up at any time of the day. And during the nights, the number increases even more. And on special occasions, one can find up to 600 people, as that was the maximum capacity.
Lily Rain was a 4 story structure, one of the grandest in the Capital city. Yet, only 21 people now sat in this majestic structure. These 21 long-time customers seemed to highlight the bleak state of Lily Rain.
As the staff walked around, Oden was dumbfounded, feeling Julius was insane.
Do you know what Two years of 40% off is?
"Susu, have you ever heard of such a thing happening in Etratis? How is he to revive Lily Rain if he has decided to start by losing even more money?"
How is his sister supposed to live well off after marrying such a thoughtless man?
Oden was worried, but Susan smiled, still unbothered. "I don't know, but I believe him. Only he can do the impossible."
"—"
… Forget it.
Oden now considered his sister a lost cause.
Why was she so confident in Julius? Is it because he saved her?
The loyal guests below were ecstatic, talking happily about Julius. His earlier words resonated in their hearts, and many began thinking deeply about the rumors they heard.
"Yes, yes. It's always better to see than to hear. How does the young master Julius look evil? Bah! I'm sure some jealous people spoke I'll of him to smear his name."
"That's right! With how kind Concubine Ava is, how can her son be anything else?"
At the same time, some passersby who heard the commotion inside the restaurant, quickly went in to take a look and were shocked by all they heard.
What? New dishes?
40% off for Two years?
True or false?
Well, the passersby were now greedy for such benefits. "Hey, you there… I am a loyal customer. I want the token-thingy too!"
Before the staff could reply, many loyal customers woke up and confronted the shameless group.
"Bah! Loyal customer, my foot! Don't claim to be one of us. We deny you."
"That's right. Where were you when Lily Rain was under attack? I tell you now that if you want to become one of us, there is no shortcut."
"Exactly! I would rather cut my own leg than let you have a token!"
"Shoo! Shoo! Back off, and stop bothering us, the loyal customers."
"Don't give them any TOKENS!"
"Hmph! If you want the tokens, then you will have to pass our test to prove it!!"
"—" [Passersby]
Test?
??????
Without even knowing it, the loyal customers had now formed a fan group.
And while they were dealing with the shameless bunch, Julius was now in focus mode, fully concentrated on creating the new dishes.
