 “This is my boyfriend, Lucian!”
 Instantly, an awkward atmosphere settled over the surroundings.
Lucian reached out his hand towards Eric and introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Lucian, Tammy’s boyfriend.”
Eric’s mood shattered into pieces. He narrowed his eyes and cast a deadly glare at Tammy, filled with murderous intent. He never expected that the woman he had admired for so long would have a boyfriend. Even though he had never been with Tammy, the news of her having a boyfriend filled him with sorrow as if he had experienced a breakup. After all, in his heart, Tammy had always been the woman he desired.
 “Hey there, I’m Eric.”
 “Are you sure you want to shake my hand? I’m quite strong, and I’m afraid you might *not be able to handle my strength.”
Eric firmly grasped Lucian’s hand with a grim expression, squeezing it forcefully, attempting to make him wince.
However… As soon as Eric squeezed Lucian’s hand, he realized Lucian’s hand was as tough as a boulder. Despite putting all his might
into it, Eric could not crush Lucian’s grip. This left him amazed. It was undoubtedly the firmest handshake he had ever encountered.
 Unaware of Eric’s intentions, Lucian maintained a smile as Eric greeted him.
Although none of them spoke, the tension between them lingered in the air, primarily emanating from Eric.
When the people around them saw this, they sensed that something was amiss.. They shook hands for too long, and anyone with common sense could tell that they must be discreetly fighting.
Audrey and the others exchanged glances, their eyes harboring malicious intent.
They knew Eric’s nature and were well aware he would not let Lucian off easily. This handshake was bound to cause pain to Lucian.
From their perspective, even if Eric managed to crush Lucian’s hand, they would not feel sympathy for him either.
– For a man of his age to date such a youthful and attractive young lady seemed to suggest that Eric might have used some tricks to win Tammy’s favor.
He’s definitely not a nice guy!
Eric continued to exert his strength, yet Lucian remained unfazed. This baffled him immensely. Just before he could react, Lucian unexpectedly retaliated.
Oh no!
Sensing the overwhelming strength, Eric felt as though his palm might shatter.
 “Please, stop…”
Eric bent down in agony, and tears were about to fall.
This left everyone around them dumbfounded. In their perception, Eric was a powerhouse. Not only was he physically strong, but his boxing prowess was also unmatched. He was essentially an unbeatable force in the school.
And now, he was defeated by this older man?
“Hey, Tammy, can’t your boyfriend exercise some restraint?” Audrey quickly stepped forward, remarking, “It’s just a handshake. Is there a need to use such excessive strength? He’s just shaking hands, yet it seems like he’s intentionally crushing people’s hands.”
Audrey’s statement prompted the rest of – the group to direct their disapproval towards Lucian.
Observing this situation, Eric turned to Tammy with a pitiful gaze and complained, “Tammy, your boyfriend lacks manners. Upon our first meeting, he singled me out like this. Is it because he’s jealous of me earning so much money? Does he think I’m more handsome than him?”
These words left Tammy utterly speechless.
He’s so ugly, and yet he thinks he’s better- looking than Lucian?
She did not know where Eric got his confidence from.
“Tammy, I didn’t use too much force. Perhaps it’s because of my firm grip and his softer hands, almost like those of a girl’s. They tend to hurt easily upon contact!”
Lucian dismissed Eric’s ego and commented.
“Ha!”
Tammy burst into uncontrollable laughter, causing Eric to embarrass himself in an instant.
Eric had been boasting about his strength, yet Lucian’s tight grip left him unable to stand up straight, completely undermining his pride.
– Unperturbed by the situation, Eric resolved to use a different strategy to embarrass Lucian.
His aim for the day was to convince Lucian to end his pursuit of Tammy.
“Would you all mind stepping into my office?” Eric led the group into his office. The interior of the boxing gym was luxuriously decorated, but Eric’s office took it up a notch. The centerpiece was a lavish tea table, its exorbitant price tag of over 200,000 dollars prompting astonishment and admiration from the visitors.
Even Tammy regarded Eric with a slightly different perspective.
Is Eric trying so hard to show off his wealth?
This only fueled Tammy’s hatred towards him.
“Please take a seat, everyone.”
Eric displayed gentlemanly manners as he ushered the group to their chairs. He then turned his attention to Lucian and asked,
“Mr. Lucian, what do you do for a living?”
Lucian responded, “I’m a retired soldier, currently waiting for employment opportunities at home.”
 A retired soldier, huh?
A collective air of disdain emanated from the group, now understanding why Lucian appeared poor. People wondered why Tammy chose him. Did she overlook financial stability? Did she find his potential earnings insignificant compared to Eric’s impressive boxing prowess?
Upon learning of Lucian’s military background, Eric even went so far as to pour out the tea he had been cherishing.
 “Eric, this tea is quite delightful,” a male student remarked.
 “It’s decent. I usually drink this kind of tea. It costs 20,000 dollars per pound. Feel free to give it a try,” Eric responded nonchalantly.
The news of its price piqued the group’s interest, prompting them to eagerly take a sip.
Lucian took a sip and smirked before placing the cup back down.
 “What’s the matter? Is it your first time drinking tea worth more than 20,000 dollars? Feeling out of place?” Eric taunted without delay.
Judging by Lucian’s reaction, Eric surmised that he likely had not experienced such high-end tea before.
Audrey joined in, sneering repeatedly, “Clearly, he’s unfamiliar with the taste of premium tea. No wonder he’s making a fuss. People who’ve never enjoyed the finer things in life are just like that. Being – a poor, retired soldier, he’s unlikely to understand this luxurious lifestyle. Tammy, what were you thinking, choosing such a boyfriend?”
“That’s right, a tea priced at over 20,000 dollars per pound must be beyond his wildest dreams. It’s only natural that he’d feel uncomfortable tasting it for the first time. Let’s cut him some slack, shall we? I’m used to such luxury. Usually, I indulge in teas worth even more than 10,000 dollars per pound. Our social standing speaks for itself.”
“This tea is truly exceptional. I’m quite taken by its fragrance. Eric truly has refined taste. The aroma is simply captivating!”
Tammy frowned, her gaze fixed on the group with clear displeasure. Their mockery of Lucian as her boyfriend did not sit well with her.
Just as Tammy was about to intervene, Lucian motioned for her to pause. He smiled and said, “Well, you wealthy folks certainly have unique tastes. This tea is actually spoiled. However, each sip is surprisingly delightful. Moreover, even if it wasn’t spoiled, its value wouldn’t exceed a few thousand dollars per pound, far from the claimed 20,000 dollars.”
“You’re talking nonsense! Eric’s tea couldn’t possibly be spoiled!”
“You ignorant soldier, do you even know what you’re talking about? This is the flavor of premium tea. Do you even comprehend?”
 “If you’re clueless, just leave. Drinking such exquisite tea is like giving pearls to swine!”
Lucian’s taunt ignited fury among Audrey’s group, prompting them to unleash a barrage of insults.
Upon hearing Lucian’s words, Tammy promptly picked up the tea bag from the table, tore it open, and took a sniff. Her expression changed significantly as she looked at the group and said, “It appears that this tea has a spoiled aroma.”
The office fell into silence in an instant. –
 “Stop fooling around, let me smell it.”
Doubting Tammy’s claim, Audrey snatched the tea bag and took a sniff. Her expression immediately changed.
Though not immediately noticeable, a thorough sniff revealed a subtle, musty smell.
“Eric, this tea is spoiled,” Audrey stated with a hint of disgust.
Eric took the tea bag, smelled its scent, and felt deeply embarrassed. The bag of tea had been a gift from an old friend long ago, and he had been hesitant to drink it. To his dismay, it had indeed spoiled. –
“I don’t understand why wealthy people like you enjoy drinking spoiled tea.”
“May I ask if the spoiled tea is more fragrant?” Lucian sarcastically inquired while lighting a cigarette.
 In an instant, everyone felt a wave of shame and humiliation, especially Eric, whose embarrassment was evident. He had initially planned to use the tea to humiliate Lucian, only to discover that the tea had gone bad.
To make matters worse, Lucian was the one who discovered it was spoiled.
“Well, tea leaves do occasionally spoil. If you don’t store them properly, mold can develop.”
“Perhaps Eric has too many premium teas that he can’t finish, causing this one to spoil. Maybe he should serve us another batch of equal value that isn’t spoiled. After all, Eric doesn’t care about this amount of money.”
With a puff of smoke, Lucian added his mockery from the sidelines.
