Jasper picked up a piece of fish and placed it into his mouth. He looked at Samuel who was furious and spoke in a shocked tone, “Why are you still here, Mr. Ray? Did you want to eat with us too? Oh, why didn’t you say so earlier, Mr. Ray? We would’ve prepared a set of utensils for you too.”
Kai almost laughed aloud. Although he was joyful, he pretended to look sad. “That’s right. I would’ve brought you to a large hotel for a meal if I knew you were eating with us, Mr. Ray.
“How could someone as formidable as Mr. Ray eat take-out with people like us?”
John asked Samuel mirthfully, “Are you hungry from watching us eat, Mr. Ray? While I do want to let you sit, we don’t have another chair or another set of cutleries. If you don’t mind, Mr. Ray, you could wait until I’m done to use my chair and cutleries?”
Bang!
Samuel slammed a palm on the table and glared at the three of them furiously. He was seething, and he spat out the words from the gaps in his teeth. “Have your fun now, but I’d like to see if you three can still smile this afternoon!
“There’s no way you can earn six million. I’ve been investing for more than a decade and there has never been a time since I started working in this line of business that I’ve seen a seven-fold increase in prices! You’re going to screw yourselves over, just you wait!”
“If you don’t welcome me here, fine! I can leave. But I will be back when the market reopens in the afternoon. I’m gonna claim that six million Somer Dollars from you!”
With a furious expression, Samuel turned to leave.
“Hold on, Mr. Ray.”
Jasper’s voice sounded.
Samuel halted and turned his head to sneer at Jasper. “What’s this, begging for mercy now? Sure, it’s not too late yet. Kneel before me and beg and then hand me the six million. I can consider leaving you alone if you do that.”
Jasper took a sip of his drink and spoke calmly, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Ray. I wanted to remind you to bring your checkbook when you come back in the afternoon. Six million and not a cent less.”
The corner of Samuel’s lips twitched as his gaze grew cold. His furious expression was slowly darkening as well.
“How about you worry about yourself first?! You’d better be able to take that money out later or I won’t be blamed for f*cking you over!”
