569: Chapter 564 Friend of Nature 569: Chapter 564 Friend of Nature In high-end restaurants, tipping has become a norm, but how much to tip varies without a standard.
Although it’s a high-end restaurant, giving a doorman one hundred dollars is already quite generous.
Even for those who are rich and prestigious, a typical tip is around ten to twenty dollars, and it’s common to see the stingy give only a dollar or two, or not tip at all.
The blond young man gave the doorman one hundred dollars, which was very generous indeed, but he said that giving this one hundred was nothing extraordinary to him.
Although it was a minor incident, it revealed a lot.
At least now Gao Yang knew for certain that this young man was wealthy, and beyond being wealthy, he must also be very influential.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been allowed into the restaurant without the proper attire.
Famous high-end restaurants all have certain rules, and the more famous the restaurant, the stricter the rules.
The likelihood of an exception being made is very small, and the Sun King Restaurant is undoubtedly a very famous restaurant.
The ease at which they bent the rules for Gao Yang and his companions clearly indicated the young man’s significant clout.
Very wealthy and very influential, that essentially suggested the young man was a second-generation rich kid.
This wasn’t a certainty, but there was at least a seventy percent chance of it being the case.
Beyond being wealthy and influential, Gao Yang concluded something else important: this young man had too much time on his hands.
Gao Yang didn’t want to be regarded as an oddity and treated differently.
Dressed inappropriately for the occasion, he really didn’t want to eat at this restaurant, but after following the young man around the lobby and into a private room—which was rare in Western restaurants—Gao Yang felt more at ease.
After seating Gao Yang and his companions, Justin pointed at the young man and said with a smile, “Let me introduce…
well, you should introduce yourselves.
You might all prefer to keep your identity a secret, so I won’t introduce you.”
Gao Yang quickly responded, “Nice to meet you, my name is Ram, and this is Rabbit.
This lady here, um, just call her Beauty.”
The young man clapped his hands and laughed, “Very good, you’re indeed people who mean serious business, never revealing your own identity.
Alright, you can call me Friend of Nature.
That sounds more professional.”
Not wanting to prolong the conversation, Gao Yang cut straight to the chase, “Justin, we’ve met twice now.
What did you have in mind when you wanted to see me?”
Justin shrugged, “I’m just an intermediary.
My role was simply to facilitate this meeting.
As for the business at hand, um, let Friend of Nature explain it.”
Friend of Nature rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, “Friend of Nature, this name sounds pretty strange.
It’s like someone quirky’s name.
But let’s think about that later.
Mr.
Ram, the reason I wanted to meet you is because I greatly admire your deeds.
To put it simply, I idolize you, that’s all there is to it.”
Gao Yang was taken aback, “Idolize me?
Are you sure?
I don’t think there’s anything about me worth idolizing.”
Friend of Nature waved his hand excitedly, “When I saw the video of you sinking those whaling ships in the Antarctic Sea, I was shocked…”
Gao Yang immediately interrupted Friend of Nature, speaking sternly, “Mr.
Friend of Nature, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.
We sank whaling ships?
That’s not a funny joke.”
Friend of Nature looked at Justin, and after Justin shrugged apologetically, he said, “Ram, there’s no need to be so sensitive.
Everything said here, I assure you, won’t leak a single word.
You should listen, um, let Friend of Nature finish his story.”
Gao Yang smiled, “I don’t see anything worth discussing because you’ve got the wrong person.
Since you’ve mistaken who you should be talking to, what else is there to say?
But out of curiosity, may I ask why you believe I’m involved with the sinking of a whaling ship?”
Justin replied with a smile, “A guess!
Truly just a guess.
I have no concrete evidence against you.
However, through my channels, I’ve located two places that sold torpedoes, and then the clues pointed to an arms dealer in South Africa related to you.
Considering several other minor factors, I thought it must be you.
So, when Friend of Nature asked me to identify the founder of the Green Terror Organization, I immediately came to you.
Honestly, it’s a guess, but I can’t think of anyone more likely than you.
Finally, I must say, rest assured that no one else in this world can reach the conclusions I have.
You should believe me.
I’m the best at this, you know what I mean.”
For the first time, Gao Yang truly appreciated Justin’s scary intelligence capabilities.
He shrugged, “I’m sorry, Justin.
Really sorry, but you got it wrong this time.”
Justin laughed, “Alright, let’s assume I’m wrong now.
However, would you be willing to listen to what Mr.
Friend of Nature has to say?
Hey, even if you prefer to use a nickname, can’t you pick something better?
Friend of Nature is just too awkward to say.”
Friend of Nature shrugged, “Let’s start over.
In fact, the name Friend of Nature was something I decided to use on the spur of the moment.
It was originally the name of an organization.
When I decided to invest in this organization and lead it myself, I decided to take the old name as my alias.
Alright, I admit it’s an unpleasant name, both for an organization and for an individual.”
Gao Yang gestured, “Please, continue.”
Friend of Nature cracked his neck, “To tell you the truth, I’m not interested in environmental protection.
Well, not very interested.
But then, when waving my checks around, purchasing everything that could be bought, and feeling that the world was getting somewhat boring, I saw that video, um, and I felt I found a direction.
I discovered something worth doing.
Such an act, it’s so damn cool.
Therefore, I decided to become a staunch eco-warrior.”
After listening to Friend of Nature, Gao Yang immediately confirmed his thought that, indeed, Friend of Nature must be incredibly bored, supremely so.
Seeing Gao Yang’s lack of reaction, Friend of Nature shrugged, “So, I went ahead and established Friend of Nature, let them go at it, but the people I found, well, they somewhat lacked in execution.
They weren’t really up to the task, so I dissolved Friend of Nature and set up a new organization that I would lead personally.
Because of my admiration for the name Green Terror Organization, I’ve decided to apply for membership in your organization.
So, um, would you accept me?” (To be continued.
