Chapter 792 Have A Look
“What? One hundred sixty-eight thousand and eight hundred?” The elderly woman’s face was filled with disbelief when Alex told her the actual value, but then she continued to mock the man, “You must be out of your mind! Fifty is definitely more than enough to buy a new pair of pants, and you dare ask me for one hundred sixty-eight thousand and eight hundred? Not even your life is worth that much!”
The elderly woman held nothing back as she tried to show Alex just how upset she was.
Even the man who stood up for Alex thought that Alex had intentionally named a high price to get back at the elderly woman.
At that point, the commotion was enough to attract the flight attendants’ attention, so the one who had attended to the elderly woman before came over to see what was going on.
Even though she would rather not talk to the elderly woman again after what had happened, she was obligated to do so because it was part of her job.
“Excuse me. May I know what’s going on here? Is there something I can help you guys with?” asked the flight attendant politely.
As soon as the elderly woman saw the flight attendant, she leaped to her feet. “You’re just who I needed to see. This man demanded that I compensate him with one hundred sixty-eight thousand and eight hundred for a pair of crappy pants that my grandson ruined. I don’t think the man himself is even worth that much money.”
Although the flight attendant did not like the elderly woman, she listened nonetheless and checked Alex’s pants, which were already covered in spits and black ink, not to mention the gum stuck on them.
The flight attendant could tell that the pants were utterly ruined and that no effort would be enough to restore them.
Still, she agreed that the amount Alex had demanded was somewhat ludicrous since no regular working- class man could ever afford a piece of clothing that expensive.
Besides the pants, Alex was all dressed up in cheap clothing and shoes, so everybody simply assumed that he was not a wealthy person.
Although the flight attendant owed Alex a favor since he had helped her, it would not be reasonable for her to force the elderly woman to compensate Alex with such a large amount of money.
On top of that, because she suspected that Alex was trying to con the elderly woman, the flight attendant suddenly had mixed feelings toward the man.
“Sir, since you stated that these pants are worth one hundred sixty-eight thousand and eight hundred, do you have any way to prove that?” inquired the flight attendant courteously, even though she was convinced that Alex was just as terrible a person as the elderly woman.
“Yeah, do you? You can’t just go around asking people for that much money without anything to back it up. I bet I can’t get that much even if I sell you, you shameless bastard!” the elderly woman chimed in while Billy made a face at Alex. The boy would have liked to doodle on the man’s face if he was given a chance.
