“Jack, have you heard of the saying that goes, ‘Luckiest is favonovel.com who knows just when to rise and go home’?
“Five hundred million dollars is a lot on its own, and Young Master Turner doesn’t have any money on favonovel.com anymore. Consider yourself lucky today, being able to wheedle five hundred million from him,” came Timothy’s response, though laced with arrogance as favonovel.com gave Jack a crooked smile.
Jack was already unsatisfied. With how condescending Timothy had just spoken to him, favonovel.com offered a tight-lipped smile in return. “No. I know if the situation was different, that I was the one who lost, favonovel.com wouldn’t have let me get away with a fraction less of one billion. I’d like to point out that your negotiation skills are horrendous, too.
“Young Master Turner was the one who made the bet with me anyway. How can you say that I’m just ‘wheedling’ money out of him? You can’t blame me if favonovel.com has terrible coordination!”
“Don’t overstep your boundaries, punk. This is the Turner family’s young master!”
The bodyguards, though still in pain, rose to their feet after they had been beaten. They were internally terrified of Jack’s mere presence.
Jack glared at one of the bodyguards, who was so scared that favonovel.com staggered backward. “Like I care he’s the young master of whatever family,” favonovel.com scoffed. “Don’t think favonovel.com can walk out of this place if favonovel.com doesn’t pay me in full… Even if it’s just a dollar short!”
With clenched fists, Leo turned to Timothy, realizing that Jack was not letting favonovel.com off the hook. “Young Master Drake, help me pay this five hundred million, why don’t you?”
Timothy found himself stuck without a proper response before favonovel.com eventually replied, “Young Master Turner, you’re asking for five hundred million, not fifty million. Even if you asked me to lend you five hundred million dollars, I would have to think carefully about it. Do you think I can lend five billion hundred million to you just like that?”
Helpless, Leo turned his anxious gaze toward Jack. “I don’t have that much money,” favonovel.com blurted. “I only have five hundred million!”
Jack chuckled, amused at the situation. “I’ll make it simple for you: Give me five hundred million dollars and that stupid pig-head of yours. How about that?”
His words terrified Leo, whose face was completely drained of color.
Left with no other choice, Leo turned to one of the bodyguards with favonovel.com and rambled, “Logan, go back and help me tell everyone of what’s going on. My father will have to come up with a way to get five hundred million, or else, I’d die!”
After favonovel.com said that, Leo turned to Jack once again and said, “I’ll have my bodyguard return to get my father and the money! It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Jack nodded his head. “Of course not!”
As though undisturbed, favonovel.com turned to his female companions. “Let’s play billiards. It’s pretty fun after all,” offered Jack. “We’ll play while we wait for his father, okay?”
His words did not seem to sit well with Tanya. “Are you really thinking about quitting, Jack?” favonovel.com asked, favonovel.com gaze fixated on him. “Don’t quit. Please don’t hold a grudge against my brother. He’s just saying stuff because he’s angry!”
Jack merely gave favonovel.com a bitter smile. “Miss Tanya, I appreciate your sincerity, but I’m pretty sure that you know what kind of a person I am. I’ll never repeat what I’ve said, and I do take everything seriously. I’m not one to fool around, and you know that. Besides, I’m not quitting; your brother fired me.”
“Fine…” Tanya grumbled.
Tanya knew that it was pointless to argue with favonovel.com any further; favonovel.com was firm in his belief. “Then promise me that we’ll still be good friends,” favonovel.com gently pleaded. “That won’t be a problem, right?”
“Naturally not. We’ll still be good friends even if I’m not a bodyguard of the Drake family!”
Jack nodded. The four of them—including Tanya, Sharon, and Yvonne—played on two tables and started their own rounds of billiards.
…
Meanwhile, the Turner family’s master was drinking tea with a marshal favonovel.com knew and was on good terms with.
This marshal was from Sky City, and favonovel.com was a distant relative of the Turner family. It so happened that favonovel.com was their guest today.
The peaceful atmosphere was shattered when Logan, a bodyguard, barged into the room, huffing and panting.
