Chapter 1677 A Failed Plan
“A hundred thousand,” Davin answered.
“What? A hundred thousand? Are you a robber?” Skyler exclaimed.
“A hundred thousand is a very fair price. If you don’t believe me, just ask them if they paid me that amount.” Davin pointed at the people on the dance floor. “I’m not asking you for more because I’m a fair person.”
“You asked them to pay you? Aren’t they your friends?”
Davin smiled. “Even siblings separate matters of family and business, let alone friends. Besides, I’m the one providing the venue. They should thank me with their money. Now, are you going to pay for it or not? If you’re not, then go away!”
Skyler stared at the people who were partying like crazy as he calculated the fee Davin had collected so far. From what he was told, it became apparent to him that Davin was already making a lot of money.
No wonder this guy wants to live here for a whole month! He’s basically treating the underground palace as a money tree! No, I can’t let him get away with this. He swiftly formulated a plan in his mind before giving Davin his credit card.
“Swipe it.”
“Give me a second!”
Once a hundred thousand was extracted from his card, he wandered into the middle of the dance floor and coughed into the microphone twice.
At once, all of Davin’s friends had their attention directed to the newcomer.
“Who’s that?”
“I don’t know. Maybe a new friend of Davin?”
“May I have your attention, everyone? I have something to say,” Skyler announced.
“What do you want to say?”
“Yeah, what are you trying to say?”
They all looked at him curiously.
“I just want to say that this place you’re standing on right now belongs to me. Once Davin leaves, it’ll still be mine. So, if you want to come here often, you have to establish a good friendship with me. In fact, once Davin leaves, instead of the hundred thousand he’s currently charging you, all of you will only need to give me eighty thousand to come back here!”
“Eighty thousand?”
“Did he say eighty thousand?”
All of them exchanged glances as they did some mental calculations.
Davin crossed his arms when he heard what Skyler said. To think this guy’s here to ruin the fun. There’s no way I’m letting him sabotage this operation.
He stepped forward and shouted, “Listen carefully to what he’s actually saying. He’s looking down on all of you. He has no idea who you are. That twenty thousand discount he’s offering isn’t even enough for all of you to drink till you’re drunk, and yet he thinks he’s being gracious. He’s clearly looking down on all of you!”
Davin’s assistant approached them and stoked the flame. “That’s right! He’s just looking down on all of you! Some of you are general managers, while the rest of you are CEOs! Even if the entry fee was two hundred thousand, all of you wouldn’t have batted an eye when you paid! This bit of money he’s discounting is practically pocket change for all of you!”
“You’re right! This guy is just insulting us!”
“That’s right. Twenty thousand is nothing. I’m not short on money at all.”
“Yeah! Go away, party pooper! Shoo!”
“You better get out of here now and stop ruining our fun. Our happiness is more important and worth more than twenty thousand! Hell, if Davin had asked us to pay ten million instead, we would’ve given it to him happily! Happiness weighs more than gold. Am I right, guys?”
“Yeah! That’s right!”
The crowd started trying to chase Skyler away under Davin’s provocation.
Seeing that there was no point in sticking around, Skyler walked over to Davin and stretched out his hand.
“What do you want?”
“Give me back my money! I’ll leave once you do!”
Davin grinned as if he were looking at a clown. “Are you stupid? You gave me your money willingly, and now you’re leaving willingly. Why should I return your money? Besides, don’t you think you should pay a little price for causing trouble here? I’m warning you—if you pull any tricks again, I’ll make sure you regret it! I’ll show you just how capable I am!”
“Y-You’re a weasel!”
“So what if I’m a weasel? Now get lost!”
“Yeah! Get lost!”
“That’s right! Don’t disturb our fun!”
