Chapter: 709
"Are you trying to scare me? Ha, you’re on!" Chubster retorted boldly. "I’ll get down on my knees and start barking if you can produce ten million dollars."
"We have a deal." Dustin smiled and pulled out his card, tossing it to the owner. "I’d like to treat that lady to ten million dollars."
"Are you serious?" The owner gripped the card, bewildered. His entire establishment wasn’t even worth that much money.
"Why would I lie? Swipe it. The PIN is 666666," Dustin replied calmly.
"Alright, then." The owner gulped and ran to the counter to process the request.
Chubster started feeling nervous when he saw how confident Dustin was. "Don’t tell me that shabby kid actually has that much money," he thought.
The rest of the crowd also began exchanging uncertain glances.
Despite how plainly dressed Dustin was, his confident and collected demeanor made people think twice about their opinions of him. They began to believe that he was either a regular braggart or someone who actually had ten million dollars.
As everyone waited silently for the results, the restaurant owner walked over and said, "My apologies, sir, but the PIN was wrong, and the transaction failed."
"Wrong?" Dustin was surprised.
Wasn’t his PIN 666666? Did he remember wrongly?
"What about the ten million you were talking about?" Chubster burst out laughing. "Why bother pretending if you’re poor? Did you think you could get away with it by acting? What a joke!"
"Tsk. Turns out he’s just a braggart. I nearly believed him."
"I know, right? And it must be embarrassing to get your lie exposed like that."
Everyone cast their mocking and disdainful gazes at him, believing that the wrong PIN was his excuse to escape from paying. There was no way they’d allow him to get the attention without paying the money.
"That’s such a stupid trick. Only you would use that kind of excuse!" Mike scoffed loudly.
"What kind of friend do you have, Abigail? He’s so shameless! Isn’t it bad enough that he’s poor? How could he pretend to be wealthy?" Nina sneered.
*Exactly. Who knew someone who looks as good as him would do something like that?"
The group Dustin was sitting with began chipping in with scornful comments, feeling ashamed.
"I told you not to act like a hero." Abigail frowned, her face burning slightly.
