Chapter 19 Martinez Brothers
On the other side, inside the Stellar Lounge private room, several thugs sat on the sofa, munching on fries and sipping drinks while Jennifer, Ashley, and Sandra huddled nervously in the corner.
At this moment, Jennifer deeply regretted her actions because she never fathomed that the yellow-haired man had such a significant background.
Had she known about his identity, she wouldn't have dared to kick him with her high heels yesterday.
His name was Kevin Martinez, and Kevin himself wasn't particularly remarkable; he just happened to be Brian Martinez's younger brother!
Brian was a notorious big shot in the vicinity of the University of Lumina.
Bars, KTVs, and massage parlors around the University of Lumina all fell under Brian's control.
If a student from the University of Lumina offends Brian, it generally won't end well for them.
Just then, a series of knocks sounded at the door of the private room.
"Come in!"
Sitting in the middle of the sofa, Brian called out coldly.
Michael entered the private room nervously, then bowed respectfully to Brian and humbly said, "Good day, Brian!"
"It's you, Michael!"
Brian seemed to recognize Michael, and a smile crept onto his face.
Seeing Brian's smile, a glimmer of hope flashed in Jennifer, Ashley, and Sandra's eyes.
If Michael knew Brian, there might still be a chance to rectify the situation.
"Brian, I apologize sincerely. My girlfriend acted impulsively, and hit your brother."
Michael humbly beseeched Brian, "Could you please give us a chance today and spare them? I promise to repay you properly in the future."
Brian smirked, "Since Mr. Brown is pleading for them, I'll give them a chance."
Brian chuckled coldly and continued, "I was actually thinking of letting my brother enjoy these three women, but since Mr. Brown is interceding, let's call it off. You cover my brother's medical expenses, and you can take the three with you!"
"How much are your brother's medical expenses?" Michael asked, taken aback.
"Your girlfriend laid hands on him; she owes a hundred thousand, and the other two each owe fifty thousand," Brian pointed at Jennifer.
Upon hearing this, Michael stood frozen in place, his expression went stiff.
Yesterday, he had already spent seventy thousand at Azure Pavilion, money sent over by his father, and now Brian was demanding another hundred thousand. Michael simply didn't have that much cash on hand!
"Don't have the money?" Brian seemed to discern Michael's predicament, furrowing his brow.
"Brian, a hundred thousand is a bit steep," Michael said in a low voice.
"If you find it too much, that's fine. Let each of these three women spend a night with my brother, and we'll call it even!" Brian leered.
"No!"
Hastily, Michael exclaimed, shaking his head, "Brian, how about this? I'll take her away first, and I'll gather the money for you in a couple of days. You can trust me to make things right."
Brian's lips curled upwards, displaying a playful smile. "Fine, considering our longstanding relationship, I'll give you that favor."
"I recall you have a nice car, right? Mortgage the car with me now, and within three days, gather the money for me. I'll return the car to you then."
Upon hearing this, Michael was left stunned.
"You don't want to?" Brian asked coldly.
"No," Michael hastily shook his head, pulled out the car keys, and placed them before Brian.
"Alright, take your girlfriend and leave!" Brian calmly stated as he accepted the keys.
"Let's go!"
Michael looked helplessly at Jennifer, Ashley, and Sandra.
The three young women rose promptly, ready to follow Michael out of the room.
However, at that moment, Brian suddenly shouted, "Who said you two could leave? I only let Michael take his girlfriend with him - you two stay!"
Upon hearing Brian's command, Ashley and Sandra's faces drained of color, staring despairingly at Michael and Jennifer.
"Michael, you can't just leave us like this!" Ashley's voice cracked as she called out.
Michael glanced at Ashley, then shrugged helplessly, "I've just mortgaged my car; I don't have the spare cash to deal with you two. You'll have to figure something out yourselves!"
Michael had no significant relationship with Ashley and Sandra anyways.
Taking them along would mean an extra hundred thousand dollars, a cost Michael wasn't willing to bear.
With that said, Michael pulled Jennifer towards the private room's exit.
Meanwhile, Ashley and Sandra stood despondently in place, their expressions stricken.
They hadn't expected Michael to be so callous as to leave the two of them behind.
"Are you planning to pay up, or are you going to spend a night with my brother?" Brian sipped his beer, looking at Ashley and Sandra with a perverted gaze.
Ashley had a voluptuous figure with ample bosom and dressed provocatively today, donning a plunging V-neck shirt with a matching thigh-revealing skirt that highlighted her alluring curves.
As for Sandra, while she didn't quite match Ashley's physique, her appearance was also striking, meeting the beauty standards of the University of Lumina.
