“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you… It’s not a big deal. My company has been having some financial trouble lately. Several banks loaning to our company suddenly withdrew their loans for no reason…”
“These banks withdrew their loans all at once, so my company is now experiencing financial problems. The capital chain might break… I’ve been trying to get a loan from another bank, but we haven’t reached an agreement yet.”
With that said, Benji gave a long sigh.
“How much money do you need?” Nana asked directly.
Without hesitation, Benji immediately replied, “At least 50 million dollars…”
50 million!
It was no small sum.
Gabe and Derrick were silent. After all, both of them made just over 10,000 dollars a month. 50 million was countless months of their salary.
“Forget it… Forget it. Let‘s not talk about it. It will only upset us… Let’s continue drinking,” Benji said as he changed the subject.
He also did not want to put Gabe, Derrick, Morine, and Nana on the spot. He was a tough guy who did not want to worry his old comrades with his affairs.
Besides, why would he want Nana’s help when he already felt guilty about Nana?
He was not a shameless man.
Nana said nothing more and proceeded to drink with Gabe and the rest, as did Morine. They did not leave until midnight when Sky Restaurant was about to close.
Back at the hotel, Nana called his staff at Joules Town to get 80 million dollars and wired it into his bank account.
“We’ll go to Benji’s security company tomorrow and give him the money.”
Benji said in the private room at Sky Restaurant that he needed at least 50 million dollars. And, Nana had received 80 million dollars, which was definitely more than enough for Benji.
Morine was excited as he nodded heavily.
Nana and Morine took a taxi to the Liamson Security Services building in Midwich.
“We’re looking for the chairman of your company, Benji Liamson,” Morine answered for Nana.
The woman was instantly taken aback at Morine’s words. After all, Benji was the chairman of her company and had the highest position. However, she could not help feeling shocked that the two men had asked to see him.
