While Zhao Kai frowned and despaired at the thought of lining up, Xu Feng nearly wanted to laugh.
It was honestly comical that Zhao Kai still hadn't gotten used to his social status.
"Let's go," Xu Feng mused and patted his shoulder.
"Go where?" Confused, Zhao Kai glanced at him with his eyebrow raised. "The line is the opposite side. Or are you trying to get us blacklisted by trying to force your way in?"
"Kai, what is your family name?"
"Zhao duh."
"Ahh, then can you tell me who is at the top of the business pyramid?"
"Ohhhhh!" Realization quickly dawned upon Zhao Kai. He pointed at himself and giggled silly, "Ain't I a part of that top business pyramid!"
"Yes, so do you think the High Table Club would deny people of your status?" Xu Feng shook his head and proceeded to walk forward.
Zhao Kai hurriedly followed behind, his smile clearly filled with a tinge of slyness. Having been labeled as illegitimate and never allowed to actually use the Zhao family name, the thought of him now being able to use it legally was out of his mindset.
Just like that, the two walked straight to the front of the line, quickly garnering the displeasure of those who were in the line.
"Hey, the line is at the back. What are you trying to do?"
"Don't you even try to skip the lines! Otherwise, you're going to get it from all of us."

Sure enough, the presence of them clearly didn't scream noble or high class whatsoever. Not to mention, none of these people recognized them. Added to the fact that Xu Feng and Zhao Kai didn't have any bodyguards around made it more difficult to tell their status aside from being a country bumpkin.
Xu Feng ignored their remarks as he continued forward, only to be halted by the security guards.
"Halt, do the two of you have a reservation?" One of the security guards asked. They didn't outright command them to head toward the back of the lines just in case of the slim possibility of them being bigshots.
After all, there surely weren't any brainless fools who wanted to test their luck and bluffed their way through.
As if that wasn't enough, the security guard even pointed at the sign. Within the top of the entrance door was a large sign posted in neon light: Troublemakers are swiftly dealt with!
Naturally, swiftly dealt with didn't mean a few punches and tossing aside. But rather serious injuries that would have them bedridden in hospital for weeks.
Special clubs that entertained a ton of high-class people would obviously get special privileges to ensure the safety of these "important" people.
"Allow me, Feng." Feeling prideful, Zhao Kai patted his chest and walked forward.
"I'm Zhao Kai. Now let me in." He declared, his chin raised upward. It was clear that he was enjoying the feeling of throwing his status around to get those special privileges.
However, contrary to his expectations, the security guards' expressions darkened and sneered coldly. "Zhao Kai? Who the heck is that? I give you three seconds to scram or don't blame me."
Dumbfounded, Zhao Kai twitched his mouth. "You don't know me?"
"Why would I know some nobody like you?"
"Nobody…" Speechless, Zhao Kai didn't expect his show-off in front of Xu Feng to backfire.
"Let me handle this instead." Amkused, Xu Feng decided to show Zhao Kai how it was done.
He stepped forward, directly confronting the guards, his eyes narrowed as he exuded a cold demeanor.
"If you don't know who the Zhao Family is, then I suppose you don't want to exist any longer in Avalon City. Shall I call the owner of this place and have a chat with him?" He threatened solemnly.
In response, the security guard felt his breathing became difficult. The gazes and demeanor that Xu Feng unleashed weren't some fools who wanted to test their luck for fast entry.
"Quickly check up on the name Zhao Kai." The guard turned to his fellow co-worker and exclaimed.
A few minutes later, the guard returned and their expression was rather pale.
Since Zhao Kai was accepted back into the Zhao Family, his data was naturally publicized— just not in a grand manner. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but Zhao Kai was too occupied with a lot of things to be introduced to the high society people yet.
Zhao Kai needed to learn the business from his sister, followed by his time playing the Divine World.
If they added a party, then it would only turn into an embarrassment, given he had yet to learn all the etiquette and necessary information.
When the guards finally confirmed Zhao Kai's identity as someone from the Zhao Family, the guards realized they messed up. This was especially true for the guard who was confronted by Xu Feng. Your next journey awaits at Freewebnovel
"Sir, may I ask for your name?" The guard smiled bitterly and asked, feeling like he had just swallowed a mouthful of dirt.
To not recognize someone in that top position was equivalent to being sentenced to death when working in such a fancy club that was meant to cater to the rich and influential people in the city.
"Your status isn't enough to know my name." Xu Feng coldly responded.
"Now can we head inside or are you going to make us stand outside like these bunch of clowns?" He added, pointing at the few people who had shouted at them in a terrible manner.
Those who got pointed, hurriedly lowered their heads, clearly unwilling to meet eye to eye.
Normally, Xu Feng wouldn't act that arrogant, but in such a setting and atmosphere. The more humble you display yourself, the less respect you actually have.
As if he would allow that kind of thing to happen. Arrogance was no longer considered arrogant if one had the status and wealth to back it up. At that point, it was power— one that could overwhelm another with just a single glance.
"Right away, Sir." Indeed, the guard didn't even dare to raise his tone as he allowed Xu Feng and Zhao Kai to enter.
As they entered inside, Zhao Kai gave him a thumbs up. "God damn, that was cool and sick."
"Now you have learned." Xu Feng mused. "Remember, never react like you did before. You need to demonstrate your dominance and presence if you want to be respected."
"Got it. How to enter 101 lessons has been placed in mind and heart." Zhao Kai laughed heartily.
