Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

Little did he know, this was precisely Kong Haodong's ploy to humiliate Ye Fan.

Just moments before, in front of the restroom, he asked the hall manager Gao Lan to find a French-speaking waiter, and then take an opportunity to deeply humiliate Ye Fan in front of him.

Though Gao Lan certainly didn't want to, constrained by the power of the Kong Family, she had no choice but to bow her head.

Tang Shishi looked at Ye Fan and said, "Big Brother Ye, it seems like she spoke in French, do you understand French?"

Tang Shishi really wanted to help Ye Fan, and she wasn't a naive sweet girl; she could tell that the waitress was most likely sent by Kong Haodong specifically to embarrass Ye Fan.

Even though Tang Shishi was highly educated, she only mastered English, and truly did not know French.

"Ye Fan, what are you standing there for? Didn't you hear the lady speaking to you?"

Kong Haodong struggled to suppress his laughter, his face filled with mockery as he said, "What's this, you couldn't possibly know French, right? Damn! Coming to such a high-end place and you actually don't speak French? That's hilarious! Don't just stand there, if you don't speak French just say it! Rest assured, we definitely won't laugh at you."

"Je-nai-pas-besoin-de-ton-aide!" Just as Kong Haodong burst into laughter, Ye Fan replied nonchalantly.

Hearing Ye Fan's reply, the waitress said with a shocked face, "Sir, you... you actually speak French?"

"A bit of it, I guess!" Ye Fan said with a faint smile.

Kong Haodong looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his laughter abruptly stopped. "French? This guy can actually speak French? Waitress, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I'm not mistaken at all! Not only does this gentleman speak French, but his French is very impressive—it's with a standard London accent. People who didn't know would think this gentleman was a local from London. I used to study at the University of London, and I've been abroad for several years, yet my pronunciation is nowhere as professional as this gentleman's!" the waitress said with genuine admiration.

Gosh!!!

Ye Fan not only spoke French but also with a standard London accent?

Once these words came out, Kong Haodong was struck as if by a bolt out of the blue, and he was utterly confounded.

Initially, he had wanted to use French as a means to embarrass Ye Fan, but he hadn't anticipated that not only did he fail to humiliate Ye Fan, he actually made Ye Fan look even more impressive.

Ye Fan scoffed and said, "Young Master Kong, what's so surprising about that? Judging by Young Master Kong's tone just now, it seems like Young Master Kong is quite good at French. How about the two of us converse in French then?"

"No, no, I'm not in a good state today; I've completely forgotten my French. Let's communicate some other time!" Kong Haodong quickly waved his hands.

He knew no French at all, and if he tried to converse in French with Ye Fan, he would be exposed after just one sentence. Not only would he fail to embarrass Ye Fan, but he might also end up being thoroughly humiliated by Ye Fan himself.

Ye Fan knew that Kong Haodong was just putting on airs. He said to the waitress, "You go on with your work. I'll call you if we need anything!"

"Very well, sir!" the waitress responded with a smile.

Little did they know, what the waitress had said in French was whether the gentleman needed any help, and Ye Fan's answer was that he didn't need any, thank you.

When Ye Fan came down from the mountain back in the day, he roamed from home to abroad for experience, and fortunately, with his gifted ability, even though French was somewhat difficult to learn, he had managed to master the London accent.

The next moment, Ye Fan no longer paid any attention to Kong Haodong, and he said to Tang Shishi, "Shishi, this fillet steak is quite good, how about we order this one?"

"Isn't it too expensive?" Tang Shishi quietly said.

She sneaked a glance and saw that a serving of the fillet steak was priced over two thousand, which was nearly half her monthly salary.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Shishi, tonight, Young Master Kong is treating. Just order as you like!"

"That's right, Shishi, eat whatever you want—I'll take care of it, you don't need to worry about money!" Kong Haodong said generously.

Only then did Tang Shishi whisper, "Then I'll follow Big Brother Ye's lead. I've never tried it before; whatever Big Brother Ye eats, I'll eat the same!"

"Alright!"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Waiter, bring us two orders of the fillet steak, and make one of them well-done, please!"

"Well-done? Are you sure about that?" Kong Haodong asked.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Shishi has never had a steak before, and for a girl trying steak for the first time, it's best to have it well-done. If it's medium-rare with blood in the steak, most girls can't handle it. Surely Young Master Kong understands such basic knowledge, doesn't he?"

"I'll follow Big Brother Ye's advice, I want mine well-done!" Tang Shishi nodded earnestly.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Tang Shishi listening to Ye Fan, Kong Haodong was extremely displeased.

Ye Fan continued, "That's right, let's get two glasses of iced lemonade! Shishi, you don't drink alcohol, right? When eating steak, lemonade is the perfect match if you're not drinking!"

"Mm-hmm!" Tang Shishi nodded again.

"Hold on!"

Kong Haodong said irritably, "Ye Fan, you're supposed to be a grown man. Why order two glasses of iced lemonade? Are you going to drink iced lemonade? That's laughable! A real man drinks alcohol. What are you trying to say by drinking lemonade? Are you implying that I, Kong Haodong, can't afford the liquor bill?"

"Oh? So Young Master Kong means to challenge me to a drink?" Ye Fan replied with a sneer.

Kong Haodong said coldly, "Indeed, I want to have a few drinks with you tonight. Do you dare to drink?"

"Sure! I was just thinking of having a drink with you, Young Master Kong!" Ye Fan was completely unafraid.

"Alright! Just wait, I'll get the liquor!"

Glaring fiercely at Ye Fan, Kong Haodong headed straight for the hotel's front desk.

The lobby manager saw Kong Haodong approaching and hurriedly came over to ask, "Young Master Kong, how are things? Did you achieve your goal?"

"Don't even mention it, Sister Lan. I never expected that scumbag, Ye Fan, to actually speak French, too. The plan's been botched!" Kong Haodong said with a grim face.

"The plan failed?"

Gao Lan was somewhat surprised; she hadn't seen anything remarkable about Ye Fan and hadn't expected him to be proficient in French.

After pausing, Gao Lan asked, "I don't know what Young Master Kong plans to do next? Just command me if there's any way I can be of use!"

"Sister Lan, it's like this: bring me the strongest liquor in your restaurant," Kong Haodong said straight out.

Upon hearing this, Gao Lan's eyelids twitched wildly, "Young Master Kong, You're not joking, are you? The strongest liquor—most people can't handle that at all!"@@novelbin@@

"Oh? Is the strongest liquor here really that strong?" Kong Haodong asked curiously.

"Of course!"

Gao Lan looked serious, then she walked to the front desk and took a bottle of liquor, saying, "Young Master Kong, do you recognize this liquor?"

"How could I not recognize it? Isn't this just a bottle of vodka?" Kong Haodong asked in surprise.

Gao Lan spoke earnestly, "Young Master Kong must have heard that vodka is a distilled spirit made by distilling fermented grains, a high-alcohol beverage and a part of Russia's traditional alcoholic drinks. But, of course, that's not the point—this bottle of vodka is no ordinary vodka!"

"Really? What's so special about this bottle of vodka?" Kong Haodong inquired.

Gao Lan emphasized, "This is Spirytus Vodka, with an alcohol content as high as 96%!"

"Damn! An alcohol content as high as 96%?" Kong Haodong's face was one of shock.

It was known that normal grain alcohols on the market typically have an alcohol content around forty to fifty percent, and high-proof alcohols usually reach 60%. To encounter an alcohol content of 96%, this was truly the first time Kong Haodong had seen such a thing from childhood till now.

If this Spirytus Vodka truly had an alcohol content of 96%, this wasn't just drinking liquor—it was practically drinking pure alcohol!

Gao Lan looked at Kong Haodong with surprise, "Young Master Kong, are you sure you want to use this vodka?"

"Use it! Of course!"

Kong Haodong said with a mischievous smile, "Sister Lan, trouble you to bring all the Spirytus Vodka to our table. Tonight, I don't plan on returning sober!"

At that moment, a sinister expression crossed Kong Haodong's face, and he thought of a good way to deal with Ye Fan.
