'What the fuck?! Why did Javier react so differently than I expected?! He added 120 thousand dollars just now, so properly, he should have only added 240 thousand dollars, yet he instantly rose to 300 thousand dollars instead. Most importantly, I can't pay five times 240 grand, let alone 300 grand!
'Five times 300 thousand dollars would be 1.5 million dollars ... Where should I get that kind of money?!
'My father might have it, but he would definitely beat me up if I really asked for it!!!'
After pondering for a while, Luca, who could not shout that he would donate 1.5 million dollars, became furious.
“This is really unfair! You purposely set a trap for me! You will only donate a small amount of money, while I have donated almost 3 million dollars!”
Javier sat down next to the table and chuckled while looking at Luca. “Did I force you to do this? Did I put a gun to your head and ask you to donate five times what I donated? It was you who started it in this case, yet you shouted that it was unfair just because you couldn't pay five times what I donated? Did you throw away your dignity when you took out the trash today? ”
Luca was really angry, so much so that his face turned a little pale. However, it was true that he was the one involved of his own volition. He had even done so in front of Edelgard and Jade, so it would be very difficult for him to try and wriggle out of this mess.
Next to them, Jade looked at Edelgard, who also looked a little troubled, and tried to mediate the men. “Alright, let's set aside our donations for now. Donating money to them will not solve the problems of the village, so let's try to find other ways to help them.”
Luca finally found a way out and hurriedly said, "I agree ..."
"Agreed, your leg!"
Javier begins to criticize Luca.
After finishing, Javier went on to say, “I've made plans for this afternoon. I plan to open the village road to the mountains first. Then, I will also open a factory of processed foods and fruit juices to take advantage of the abundance of fruit trees in the village.”
He then raised his head and looked at Luca. “Easton Group has a complete sales channel for food and drinks, right? You can use that channel to help the village with sales.”
Luca turned around and asked, “What are you going to do? Are you going to be a factory manager without paying a dime? Are you kidding me?"
Javier sneering. “Then, we will both split the cost of road and factory construction. I won't interfere in those things. Instead, I will arrange for the person you will definitely agree to deal with the matter. ”
Luca was silent for a moment. He thought about it for a while but ended up returning to the same topic.
However, now that they had paid the same amount, whatever he shouted just now was indisputable, which was why he felt much more confident again.
'I won't be able to fight this poor miser in a battle five times his money, but I can definitely slam him if we stand in the same position!'
Therefore, Luca very generously said, “Sure, but you don't need to match my expenses. You go ahead and pay first. I'll match yours instead. ”
Javier nodded his head and took out a cigarette, lit it before he said, "1.5 million dollars."
Javier said that in a very calm tone, but Luca ended up almost spewing out everything he had just eaten.
'Are you seriously throwing away 1.5 million dollars as if it was nothing?!'
Luca thought about it and decided that roads and factories could be built for under 500,000 dollars. In fact, Luca had even imagined how cool he would be when he took out 750,000 dollars and slammed it on the table, revenge on Javier for humiliating him and making Javier squirm in pain as he struggles to match his numbers.
However, now everything was developing very differently from what Luca had imagined! Javier plays his game very differently, raising the pot by a significant amount even before his cards are revealed. Most importantly, Luca had a pair of aces in his hands!
Javier didn't bother to explain to him how much it would take to develop land in the mountains. Besides, he has next plans for later. He would sell stones dug out of the mountains to earn money, which would be a project for the next stage of the development of Xerxes Village. Therefore, it was clear that if they contributed 1.5 million each, it would not be enough to cover all of it!
However, Javier would not explain all that to a mere fool. Instead, he simply said, "Pay or forget!"
Luca is panicking. There was no way he would allow himself to be humiliated in front of Edelgard once more.
Therefore, he slammed the table and said, “Good! I will pay 1.5 million dollars!”
At that time, Javier very calmly said, “Hmm.1.5 million dollars will definitely not be enough to cover all the costs incurred, I'll pay 3 million dollars in exchange.”
Luca initially plans to see if Edelgard shows any admiration for what he has just done, but he ends up hearing Javier's sudden change of heart before he can even turn his head to her. Mentioning the words '3 million dollars' alone almost drove Luca crazy!
“3 million dollars?! Are you not sane? Do you even have a lot of money to start with, you idiot ?! ”
Javier sneerily looked at Luca. “I personally feel ashamed that you always do this rich kid's act. Just seeing you. Are you really surprised just because you have to pay 3 million dollars? You can forget about it if you can't even spend that much money. Also, stop acting like that rich-ass brat in front of me from now on!”
Luca becomes so angry after being criticized continuously that he will equal Javier's price once again.
After all, Javier, the man with the broken G63, already equals the price. Luca has no desire to let himself be humiliated again.
However, his biggest problem was that he did not have that kind of money! "Are you willing to pay for it?"
As he hesitated, Edelgard, who was beside them, finally said, “You don't have to pay 3 million dollars. I'll do it."
Luca immediately felt a stinging pain on his face. He had just been completely humiliated by a woman, which was the worst humiliation of all!
Most importantly, the woman who does this is the person she is romantically interested in!
Luca really wanted to shout that he would pay 3 million dollars, but he could not find a way to pay the cash.
Therefore, he immediately gave another explanation from a different angle. “You can't trust him, Edelgard. We don't even know if he can really afford to pay up to 3 million dollars. Plus, there are a lot of bad guys in the world right now, so he will probably come up with blank numbers just so he can cheat out of our money!
“I have no hesitation now because I have no money. I tried to figure out how I could reveal his true intentions! ”
After finally being able to hide the truth behind why he couldn't pay the money, Luca turned to Javier once again and almost sounded arrogant as he questioned him. “Don't you say you'll find someone I'll definitely agree to manage the funds with? Go then! Let's see who you'll find, con man!”
Javier pulled out his phone, but there was no signal.
Fortunately, they were in a committee meeting, so there was a landline nearby. Javier got up and dialed Mary Jane's number.
After telling him about what had happened, Javier told Mary Jane, “That's it. I'm leaving you in charge of this right now, Mary Jane!”
Javier put the phone on speaker before returning to his seat.
Right after she sat down, Mary Jane's voice came from the house phone. “Where is that little bastard? Get your ass out of here, Luca!”
