Chapter 616: Sea of Coffins

Because of this, Jason Jefferson's ship was stocked with so many supplies.

But during mealtime, only the Jefferson and Thompson families gathered together to dine. Apart from the chef and two servers, everyone else retreated into the cabins, leaving the spacious deck to the two families.

Although Jason internally looked down on Zachary, he did not target him during the meal like the villains in those wish-fulfillment novels. Instead, he was quite affable and engaged Zachary in idle chatter.

If this had been before the natural disaster, Jason's behavior would have been described as "downward compatibility," meaning a person of higher status takes extra care to accommodate someone of lower status during a conversation to demonstrate an approachable character.
