Chapter 1246: Give Me Change
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Right now, challenging the already choleric Ottle was like kicking a tiger in the ass.
“Who are you? How dare you poke your nose in my business?! Do have a death wish?!”
The crowd parted to make way for the person who had spoken. It was another Chinese youth. Following closely behind him were Focker and Hades.
“Brother-in-law!” The other young Chinese man ran over to them.
Obviously, this young man was Lin Nan and his brother-in-law was none other than Chen Xiaobei.
“So, this is the idiot’s brother-in-law? I thought he was some kind of big shot! But apparently, he’s just another dumbass!”
“I told you! Ignorant fools are fearless. They hide in their shells thinking that they are the better than others!”
“Yeah! There are only few people who are as incredible as Master Ottle? These two Chinese are just a pair of phonies!”
“This is going to be one hell of a show! These two Chinese boys will get beaten up for provoking Master Ottle! If they don’t apologize, they might even get beaten to death!”
…
The crowd began to gloat, eager to watch Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan get pummeled to the ground.
“So, you’re this dimwit’s brother-in-law?” Ottle looked glanced mockingly at Chen Xiaobei. “I thought you have three heads and six arms! But you’re just a commoner! Who are you to trumpet in front of me?”
“You are the one who’s trumpeting! My brother-in-law’s a real badass! He doesn’t have to pretend to be one!”
Lin Nan adored Chen Xiaobei and would not take kindly to people badmouthing his idol.
“Badass? Hah!” Ottle smiled. “If he really is that badass, then ask him to pay me the ten million you owe me! If you can’t even take out such a small amount of money then why are you here? Any one of these customers here are much more powerful than the both of you!”
“It’s not we don’t have the money!” Lin Nan’s voice was seeped in poison. “I had just accidentally broken your crappy little cup and you’re trying to extort us for money like we’re fools!”
“Heh! What a joke! Why would I Ottle Rothschild need to extort you of your money?” Ottle let out a cynical laugh. “Ten million yuan is not even enough to place a bet! Why would I need to need to blackmail you?”
“I…” Lin Nan did not have an answer to that question.
Ten million yuan really was just a tiny amount of money to him. Even if there were ten million yuan in cash next to his feet, he might not even bother to strain his back just to pick it up.
Accusing him of extortion was not the most solid of arguments.
Even though ten million was nothing to Ottle, he refused to overlook this sum of money that Lin Nan supposedly owed him because he simply wanted to mess with Lin Nan. It was deliberately done to humiliate him! This was his twisted version of entertainment!
Lin Nan, on the other hand, locked horns with Ottle because he felt that the cup was not worth so much money,
“The truth is, I did not take you for a fool. In fact, I don’t need you to pay me the money! I just want you to confess that you and brother-in-law are poor destitute urchins, and I want you both to beg me for forgiveness in front of all of these people. Then I will overlook the ten million yuan! What do you think? Sounds like a bargain, right?”
“I…” Lin Nan wanted to throw the ten million yuan at Ottle’s face but he did not have that kind of money.
It was alright for him to confess that he was poor but he could not accept dragging Chen Xiaobei down with him!
The crowd hooted with laughter at Lin Nan’s silence.
“Hehe! What a joke! They don’t even have ten million with them. How the hell did they even get into Paradise Island?”
“That moron even said that his brother-in-law is a real badass! Now, he’ll have to eat his own words!”
“Oh, how humiliating! If I were those two, I’d be looking for a hole to bury my face in!”
…
Lin Nan’s face turned as red as a tomato. So red, it looked like it might burst out with blood.
“Who said we don’t have money?” Chen Xiaobei took out a piece of low-grade Spiritual Stone and said, “Give me my change!”
“That… That’s a Spiritual Stone! My god! That kid is paying with a Spiritual Stone!”
“One stone is worth one billion RMB! Not only would this kid be settling the debt, Ottle have to give him a change of nine hundred and ninety million!”
“Wow! This is one heck of a plot twist! He took out a Spiritual Stone just like that! This guy really is something!”
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. They now saw Chen Xiaobei in a different light.
Spiritual Stones were an extremely rare resource on earth. Even if you had one billion RMB, you might not be able to buy one! That was how priceless Spiritual Stones were!
Chen Xiaobei taking out a Spiritual Stone like that was equivalent to taking out a VIP card!
Even an idiot would know that Chen Xiaobei was no common man and ten million yuan was nothing to him!
“This…” It was Ottle’s turn to be speechless.
Paying the nine hundred and ninety million in change was not a big deal to Ottle.
But he had just mocked Chen Xiaobei for being poor and now Chen Xiaobei had returned the favor with a slap to his face!
To Ottle, face and reputation was above everything, even money!
For the sake of humiliating Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan, Ottle was willing to forgo the ten million RMB. But his ploy had backfired and he was the one now who had to eat the humble pie!
This could not get any worse!
“Brother-in-law! You’re just too incredible!” Lin Nan cheered like a child high on a sugar rush. “Brother-in-law! You’re my idol! My god! You are a transcendent superhero! I already told you that my brother-in-law is a badass! Who else dares to challenge that? Who? Else? Wahahaha…”
The onlookers too, had quieted down. None of them dared laugh at Lin Nan now.
Ottle’s face darkened, his voice laced with anger as he asked, “Who are you?”
“You will know who I am later! But right now, you have to pay me the difference!” Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me that the young master of the Rothschild family can’t even take out nine hundred and ninety million. If you can’t then all you’ll have to do is admit that you’re a poor bastard and you won’t have to pay me back!”
“Huh…” Boiling blood rushed to Ottle’s head. “Me? Ottle? Poor? Have you lost your mind?! Give me your account number! I will pay you every single cent!”
“Alright! My account number is…” Chen Xiaobei gave him the numbers.
“Transfer the money!” Ottle shouted.
Behind him, his secretary immediately transferred nine hundred and ninety million to Chen Xiaobei.
“Master Ottle, take a look at this…” After the secretary had transferred the money, she brought the laptop before Ottle. “The hundred billion Mr. Focker transacted yesterday was to this kid’s account as well! It seems he’s was the person of interest in our investigation!”
How did ten million become one hundred billion?
The crowd gasped.
