The corners of the mouth of the group of men before Fane began to twitch.
"I... I don't have that money?”
The man with the buzz cut said after a pause, "We don't usually make that much money. We also have to pay Green Hall a monthly protection fee. Whatever we have left, we usually eat and drink it away. Where do you want us to find a million bucks?”
"Eight minutes left!"
Fane was too lazy to be engaged in mindless chatter. He looked at the time and mercilessly pressed on.
"I...”
The man with the buzz cut got really angry. He thought and said to his group of men." What about you guys? However much money you have, give it to me now. F**k, let's pool it. Looks like we have met our match today. What more, he is not afraid of death and he is so relentless. I don't think w e can get away with this.”
The men were speechless and helplessly paid up their share to the man with a buzz cut.
Moments after, one of the men looked at the balance in their bank accounts and bitterly said to Fane, "Brother, I'm so impressed. You’re not even afraid of Green Hall?”
"Stop bullshitting. Get us the money! Send i t to Tiger!” Fane said curtly.
Tiger was too scared to accept the money. H e stepped forward, smiling awkwardly, and said, "Hey big brother, let's not cause them any more trouble. Let it go now so that we won't get into any trouble in the future!"
The truth was that Tiger was still afraid. When he heard the gangsters talk about large and powerful forces backing their clan, he was afraid to offend them any further-to offend such strong powers would not bring them any good.
