Chapter 30 One Billion
Last night, after a drink and heart-to-heart with Zoe Evans, Gabriel Edwards felt refreshed.
The next day, he seemed like a completely different person.
He looked radiant and was even humming a tune.
After breakfast, he leisurely strolled to North Street.
Atop a ten-plus story building, there was a sign reading "Apex Bank."
The entire building was the office of Apex Bank.
It was also the headquarter of Apex Bank.
It was still more than ten minutes before ten o'clock.
But Thomas Taylor was already waiting at the entrance of Apex Bank.
Thomas Taylor hadn't slept at all the previous night.
All he could think about was money.
One billion!
Gabriel Edwards was going to transfer one billion to him.
Up to now, he still felt dazed.
He was a bit unclear about the situation.
He acknowledged someone as his boss and got a tip of one billion?
This was too extravagant.
"Not bad, you didn't get too drunk last night. Follow me in!"
Gabriel Edwards extinguished the Liggett Select he had half-smoked and threw it into the trash can.
Then, he waved to Thomas Taylor.
This bald thug could even manage not to litter.
Being a good citizen himself, he obviously couldn't fall behind.
The two entered the main hall of Apex Bank together.
A uniformed beauty approached them.
Her name tag was prominently displayed on her chest.
It read "Ms. Martinez."
After Ms. Martinez walked over, she sized up Gabriel Edwards and Thomas Taylor.
Her expression was not friendly.
Bald Thomas Taylor, at first glance, didn't look like a good person.
And Gabriel Edwards, the Adidas shoes he wore were misprinted as "abibas!"
Perhaps they were misprinted during production.
"May I ask what services you two gentlemen need?"
Despite her thoughts, Ms. Martinez still asked with a smile.
That smile looked a bit constipated.
"Oh right, we want to make a transfer!"
Gabriel Edwards said while looking around.
"How much do you want to transfer? If it's below 50,000 yuan, you can use the self-service machine. No need to use the counter!" Ms. Martinez reminded.
Based on her many years of experience as a lobby manager, she believed that even if these two were making a transfer, it would definitely not exceed 50,000 yuan.
"Oh, then I'll have to go to the counter. I want to transfer one billion!"
Gabriel Edwards said, squinting his eyes and speaking indifferently.
"One billion?" Ms. Martinez almost shouted. Her face changed, and she said with some displeasure: "Gentlemen, one billion? Are you joking? Our bank doesn't transfer Zimbabwean dollars!"
After saying that, she immediately turned her head and glanced at the security guard at the door.
Transfer one billion?
A bald guy and another wearing fake shoes, how could they possibly have that much money?
They were clearly here to cause trouble!
"Zimbabwean dollars?"
Gabriel Edwards was taken aback and didn't react immediately.
But the security guards at the entrance were approaching.
One of them shouted at the two, "What business do you two have here? If you have no business, leave!"
Saying that, he reached out to grab Gabriel Edwards.
It was Thomas Taylor's chance to show his worth.
He stepped in front of Gabriel Edwards, pushing away the security guard's hand, "You bunch of shortsighted fools, don't you know who my boss is? Dare to touch him again, and I'll deal with you!"
At this moment, Ms. Martinez was certain that these two were here to cause trouble.
Losing her patience, she waved at the security guards.
The two security guards immediately understood and drew their batons.
As a fight seemed imminent, Gabriel Edwards was still puzzled, muttering, "What the heck is this Zimbabwean dollar?"
At that moment, a voice from afar, Leon's, rang out, "According to the current exchange rate, one billion Zimbabwean dollars can only buy a few pieces of bread! Mr. Gabriel, if all the money in your card were converted to Zimbabwean dollars, I reckon this building even couldn't hold them.''
