Ma Cheng's net worth was in the millions and his strength could be considered above average. Usually when he went to brothels and hotels, the staff there would always fawn on him. However, this was still insufficient.
What was the point of having a sense of superiority when facing lackeys and prostitutes? Ma Cheng wanted to make those nobles and officials in high society respect him, but this was impossible.
The Middle-Earth Nine Provinces were the same as ancient China. They had a feudal system where the officials were ranked at the top. Authority was worth more than money. Hence, Ma Cheng would always be as obedient as a grandson whenever he met an official.
(I'll admit this, but you are someone who isn't even a 1-star great teacher. What qualifications do you have to display a sense of superiority before me?)
