Fiona learns about Michelin stars as Mira explains the concept. Meanwhile, Gina and Jason discuss plans for a joint vacation with Hesbeath and Riyala, which doubles as a baby shower. Esdath urges Jason to finally undertake his Qi training in the Eastern Mountains. The group then arrives at the Seraphina restaurant in a limousine, causing a stir among the wealthy patrons.

There were politicians, movie stars, and celebrities in that crowd outside the restaurant, but at that moment, none of them cared about their position in society! They were all fans of one man!

Vroom!

The limo finally arrived at the end of the red carpet, and the driver came down from his seat and came around to open the door for the guests. The first three people to come down were the three mothers. Mira, Fiona, and Betsha were surprised by the sheer number of people standing and waving from the crowd, and Mira waved back kindly to some of them. But Fiona simply ignored all of them as she unfurled her fan and used it to cover her lower face while walking forward.

"That’s Jason’s mother. The one waving at us!"

"Do you know those women beside her? I haven’t seen them before."

"I don’t know, but they’re so beautiful. Maybe I should try talking to them."

"If you want to die, sure."

Behind the mothers, the children finally began to get down. First, Stella with the little kids, and then Janet, Georgia, and Hendrix also came out. They were all stunned to see the crowd that formed in front of the restaurant. Jason had tried to make sure his visit to the restaurant was as discreet as possible, but it was obviously impossible to hide anything from anyone in this day and age!

"Look at the little kids, aww so cute!"

"But who are those people? I don’t recognize any of them."

"Are they also part of Jason’s family?"

"I’m not sure, but don’t you think they look a lot like him. Especially that tall man there. It’s like they’re brothers or something."

"You’re right!"

The crowd was all confused about who the unknown people in the group were, but many of them slowly began to realise that this might be Jason’s siblings as well! And if that was the case, then didn’t that mean that the women they saw at the start were all the wives of Jason’s father!?

Theories and articles were already being created online about what the true nature of the Marc family tree was! Since Jason was so popular, there were entire groups of people who had dedicated their entire lives to trying to understand everything about Jason’s life, and this would be just another thing that they would want to figure out as soon as possible!

But everyone’s attention suddenly pulled back towards the car as Jason finally stepped out. The people all brought out their cameras and began to click pictures excitedly, and some of them called out to Jason, asking him to turn to them! But Jason ignored them as he reached his hand out to help Gina out of the car. Gina stepped out in her lovely dress and jacket, but the first thing the people noticed the moment they saw her was her stomach!

"Oh my god, she’s pregnant!"

"Gina Fey’s pregnant!?"

"This is the news of the century! We have to send this to the news channels right now!"

Even though they were members of high society, every single person there understood just how big of a deal this was! The fact that Gina was pregnant was major news that would shake the entire country! Jason and Gina didn’t really care about whether or not people knew about Gina’s pregnancy, but over the next few months, the couple was going to be receiving gifts from people all over the world! People that they had never even heard of before would send gifts to their mansion in hopes of gaining the favour of the power couple!

But Jason didn’t care about all that right now! When Gina stepped out of the car, Jason gave her his arm, and Gina hugged his arm with a smile as the two of them followed behind their family and walked the red carpet leading into the restaurant. The chauffeurs lining either side of the red carpet all bowed respectfully as Jason passed, and Jason didn’t bother paying them any attention as he walked through the front door.

The inside of the restaurant was even more extravagant than the outside. There were pleasant golden lights shining around the entire restaurant, with close to thirty tables spread out across the floors and a receptionist desk at the side. Usually, when someone comes in to have a meal, they would go to the receptionist and tell them what reservation they had, but Jason could already see a woman in a neat suit standing beside the receptionist’s table, and she bowed to the Marc family.

"My name is Ruby, and I am honored to guide you and your family today, Lord Jason. If you’ll follow me, I’ll lead you to your table upstairs."

The woman gestured towards the stairs as she began walking, and Jason followed after her with the others. There were already many people in the dining hall, and they were all looking towards the family with wide-eyed surprise! But since they were inside the restaurant, no one dared to try and walk up to them for a greeting, and Jason was glad for it. But Jason hummed as he turned to the side, and he noticed some people that he hadn’t seen in a long time.

"Jason!"

A loud voice called out from a table, and Jason huffed with a small smile when he saw Darren and Henry, the two boys that he had taken his SMD assessment with all those months ago, sitting at a table with their families. The entire family was staring at Jason with surprise on their faces, and Darren was the only one who had the courage to stand up and call out to Jason! Jason smiled as he walked over to their table with Gina. There were six people in total at the table, and the moment they saw Jason walking towards them, they all stood up respectfully!

Darren’s father was an older man who looked to be in his forties, and Darren’s mother was a lot younger; she didn’t look a day above thirty. Meanwhile, Henry’s parents looked like they were both in their thirties, and Jason could not deny that Henry’s mother was a very beautiful woman. Jason could remember Darren telling him once that Henry’s mother was a model or something, so Jason couldn’t understand.

The moment Jason reached the table, Darren’s father immediately extended his hand.

"Lord Jason. It’s a pleasure to meet you again."

Jason smiled as he remembered the previous meeting between them back when Jason was in high school. Darren’s father had invited him for lunch at their house, but Jason never honored the invite since he was just so busy. Jason shook his hand.

"It’s nice to meet you too. Darren, Henry, it’s been a while. How have you two been doing?"

Jason turned to speak to his two friends, and Darren grinned happily!

"I’m doing just fine, boss! I’m speeding up my graduation to join your guild as soon as possible."

Jason smiled at Darren’s enthusiastic answer, but Henry couldn’t even look Jason in the eye! Jason remembered that although Henry enjoyed dressing as a boy, he was actually a girl, and Jason was one of the only people in the world who knew about it!

Henry’s mother elbowed her when Henry didn’t say anything for a few seconds, and Henry’s face grew red as she bowed her head to Jason!

"I-It’s nice to see you again, Lord Jason."

"Please, just Jason is fine."

Henry nodded shyly, and Jason shook hands with Henry’s father before speaking to Darren and Henry.

"I’d love to catch up on how things have been going with you two. I have a rare free day today, so if you’re interested, I wouldn’t mind your families joining us upstairs."

Both families felt their eyes widen in shock!
