“Hey, chubby! Just forget it! She’s a beauty anyway! If you’re really persistent, then here! Take three dollars from me instead!” offered one of the passengers as he laughed.
“You can’t be serious! To think that such a girl exists! Wanting to eat yet not even willing to pay three dollars!” pouted the fat man.
Hearing that, the girl frowned even harder.
Instantly after, however, a brief fierceness flashed in her eyes as she said, “If you really want my money, then get off the bus with me later. If you accept the dare, forget three dollars, I’ll give you three thousand dollars if you want! What do you say?” asked the girl coldly.
“I say why wouldn’t I dare to do so! However, you said it yourself that you’ll hand me three thousand dollars! It’s not too late to take that statement back!” replied the fat man as he snorted.
“Deal!” shouted the girl before taking in a deep breath.
Throughout their conversation, the man in black had constantly been sneaking gazes at the girl. Though one of his brows was raised, he quickly withdrew his gaze before anyone could notice.
It was only when things had settled down a little later when the girl yelled out, “Stop the bus, driver!”
“Here? In the middle of nowhere? Beauty, you’ll be stranded out here alone if I drop you off here!” replied the driver with only kind intent.
“Mind your own business and just stop the vehicle already!”
Hearing her cold yet resolute response, the driver had no choice but to obey.
Once the bus stopped moving, the girl looked at the fat man before carrying her white box and getting off the vehicle.
With his bag of biscuits in hand, the fat man then followed her down before saying, “Humph! Here I am! Where’s the three thousand dollars?”
As the bus driver continued looking at the two of them, he was surprised to see the man in black—along with the two weak-looking men—getting off the bus as well.
His surprise turned to concern when he saw another five burly men carrying their luggage with them off the bus!
“What on earth are all of you doing? We’re only midway there!”
Though he was curious about what was about to take place there, he was old and experienced enough to know that he shouldn’t stay to pry. As a result, he simply drove off with the remaining passengers.
