Without further hesitation, the bearded man turned to a gangster beside him and said, “Call Freddy now and tell him to send over 1.8 million dollars.”
The gangster gritted his teeth and pulled out his phone.
1.8 million was a lot. The price Yolanda mentioned was far more than the loss he suffered. Although the hotel lobby was badly damaged, repairing the place probably cost slightly over 100,000 dollars at best.
It would be 300,000 dollars at most if one include the compensation for the 20 female attendants.
Yolanda asked for 1.8 million, wanting to punish the gangsters.
“What’s your name?” Yolanda asked, looking at the bearded man.
The bearded man looked up at Yolanda and replied, “My name is Joe Greyson…”
“You’re pretty good, Joe. Would you be interested in working for me?” Yolanda asked with a smile.
Joe looked at Yolanda in shock as if not expecting Yolanda to invite him.
After a while, Joe smiled wryly and said, “I now work for Freddy. I can’t quit. If I quit, Freddy will go after my family. Besides, I’m doing fine now, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
“What a pity.” Yolanda shook his head but said nothing more.
Soon a gangster walked in from the hotel entrance with a briefcase. He brought the 1.8 million compensation.
“Count them.”
The bearded man opened the briefcase, and money appeared before everyone.
“That’s not necessary…” Yolanda said casually and asked Vivian to take the money.
“You’d better apologize to my attendants again. You scared them. It’s inexcusable if you don’t apologize, right?” Yolanda said with a smile.
Joe bowed once he finished speaking. Then he looked up inquiringly at Yolanda to ask if that was all.
Yolanda looked at the gangsters with a smile and said, “I mean an apology from all of you, especially the first 30 men. It’s insincere of you to apologize alone.”
