Nandar turned to Fade and Rachel once Kingston finished his sentence. An evil grin curled on his lips, "I can exempt you two from paying this amount."
"There are conditions of course, but don't worry, it's pretty simple."
"You're Fade, yes? Your combat skills are quite good. I like that. If you're willing to work for me, consider yourself off the hook."
"As for this pretty thing right here, it's a no-brainer. You spend one night with me and I'll put you on a flight back to your country."
Rachel immediately shot that offer down. "Ew! Over my dead body!"
The other tourists looked at them with envy and admiration.
Hazel became a little too excited when she thought she had found a way to save herself. She went up on her own accord, yanked down her collar, and said quickly, "Mr. Nandar, l-l can accompany you. If one night is not enough then let's go for two or three. As long as you..."
He answered with a disparaging smile, "Did you look at yourself in the mirror? You really think you're beautiful enough to offer your company?"
"I..." Hazel froze on the spot, speechless.
Nandar then faced Fade and Rachel with a polite smile and asked, ''What do you think about my proposal?"
Rachel shook her head with conviction, "I will never agree to it. If you dare to touch me, I will kill myself."
“You have quite a temper, don't you? I like your type!" Nandar chuckled, not really taking her answer to heart. He then turned to Fade, "What about you?"
Fade lifted his eyes towards him and said, "You want me to be your subordinate?"
"That's right!" Nandar nodded. "As long as you agree to it, you're definitely off the hook. Not only that but you'll be my right-hand man. By then, you will also have a share of my business in Mancho City.
Nandar tempted him, "With me as your boss, you can have anything you want. Money, women' all of these are yours to have."
The looks directed at Fade were complex to say the least.
Some people hoped that he would agree. They could perhaps then play the 'nationality' card to have him give them a fighting chance.
There were also those who didn't want him to agree. The reason was that they were quite ruthless with their insults of him. If he took this opportunity to retaliate, they were done for.
Everyone's attention was focused on him.
Fade's lips curled into a mocking smile. He finally replied, "Did you actually think you're qualified enough to have me work for you?"
"What did you just say?"
A thunderous look appeared on Nandar's face instantly, and his eyes glared daggers at Fade.
"I said, did you actually think you're qualified enough?" Fade repeated what he just said.
Nandar was provoked, and he questioned Fade in an arctic tone, "Do you know what you're saying? Do you understand the consequences when you said that to me?"
The rest of the tourists were stunned too.
Some of them sighed while a few others panicked. There were also those who gloated. In other words, the responses given were varied.
Fade, on the other hand, did not take him seriously at all. He replied, unamused, "Consequences? I'd love to see what those consequences are."
"If it's death you want, then death you will have!" Nandar was outraged. He waved his hand and ordered, "Kill him!"
The remaining fifty gangsters rushed towards Fade like a torrent in an instant.
Things didn't go as planned though. The outcome was similar to the previous scenarios with Fade knocking down around 20 people in the blink of an eye.
The look on Nandar's face was unpleasant when he saw this. He knew that he had to make his move.
