The Man's Decree novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 A Rented Car

Finally, the moment everyone was afraid of had arrived. Excuses and complaints soon followed.

“I… I only have a thousand with me.”

“I don’t have money! I haven’t even paid my personal bills!”

“I have ten thousand, but that’s far from enough!”

They could barely pitch in eighty thousand, so there was no way they were going to pay up the sum.

While they were scrambling around, Jared sat comfortably on a couch in the lobby. He was served with refreshments by the staff as soon as he sat down.

“If you guys don’t pay up, we can’t let you leave.” The cashier was getting fed up while waiting for the payment. She then announced on her walkie-talkie to request for the hotel security guards. “To the security department, please be informed that we have a situation at the payment counter. There are customers who can’t pay for their meals.”

Upon hearing that, Lincoln and the others jumped in fright.

Within a few seconds, they were surrounded by more than ten armed security guards.

Their knees were wobbling in fear because they had never been in such a tense situation before.

Under the dire circumstances, everyone’s eyes were glued to Lincoln. If they were ever going to get free, he was their only hope.

However, Lincoln’s face turned pale when he saw the murderous looks the security guards had on their faces.

“Lincoln, you came in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, right? Why don’t you just tell them you’ll leave your car here as collateral?”

“That’s right! Just leave your car here. Once you’ve received the money you mentioned, you can just come back and pay.”

“Exactly. Unlike you, Lincoln, we aren’t rich. I’m sure a million means nothing to you!”

The others came up with the idea and showered Lincoln with compliments again.

At that moment, Lincoln’s face had embarrassment written all over it. “The car… The car is rented. I’m supposed to return it after dinner. I can’t leave it here.”
