Chapter 473 I Know Theodore Nelson!

Jacob turned to Louis and said, "So, you've got money, huh? Will you pay off their debt?"

Louis's face turned beet red.

He thought he was just taking Luna's relatives out for a good time, but now they expected him to cover their debt?

No way he had one million dollars!

He was about to refuse.

But then Luna stepped up, tilted her head, and said proudly to Jacob, "It's just a million bucks. What's the big deal?"

Jacob grinned, turned to Louis, and said, "Your girlfriend said so. So, cash or bank transfer?"

Louis just felt quite helpless!

He cursed Luna in his mind for putting him in such a tough spot!

But if he admitted he didn't have the money, all his bragging would be for nothing. How could he show his face in Jakarda if people found out?

So he had no choice but to suck it up, straighten his clothes, and walk up to Jacob, extending his hand. "Jacob, right? I'm Louis, the marketing manager at Export Trade Group in Jakarda City!"

Export Trade Group was a big deal in Jakarda City, and even though there were lots of "managers" there, it still sounded impressive!

Jacob's expression got a bit more serious when he heard that, and he smiled, "So you're with Export Trade Group! In that case, I guess I don't have to worry about the debt!"

Louis's face turned awkward for a moment, then he pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Jacob. "Jacob, can you give us a few days to pay? I'm here to entertain my relatives, and I don't want to ruin the mood."

Louis had his reasons for wanting to delay.

Once today was over, the debt would definitely fall to Deborah and Mario!

He had nothing to do with the debt, and even if when it came to the worst, he could break up with Luna!

There were plenty of other women out there!

But for now, especially in front of Lily, he couldn't disgrace himself!

Based on his experience, Jacob would definitely agree.

But to Louis's surprise, Jacob handed the cigarette back and grinned, "That's not gonna work. The debt has to be paid today!"

Jacob glanced at his watch. "You've got fifty minutes left! If it's not paid by then, no one's leaving this room tonight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two of his guys blocked the door, each pulling out a baton, looking tough!

Jacob wasn't giving Louis any way out, making Louis's face look pretty ugly!

He looked Jacob up and down again.

He'd been in Jakarda City for years and knew a lot of powerful people, but he'd never seen this guy before!

So he couldn't help but think Jacob was just a small-time thug, pretending to be tough with a bunch of goons.

Maybe he wasn't that big of a deal after all.

With that, Louis's demeanor shifted, becoming more assertive. He said coldly, "I want to show respect to you, but you've been crashing my party since you walked in, and now you're trapping us in here. You think I'm someone you can just push around?"

Hearing Louis, Luna knew it was her moment to shine!

She stood up, walked straight to Louis's side, put her hands on her hips, and scolded Jacob, "Yep, it's just a debt. How dare you do this to us? Do you know Theodore? He is Louis's good friend! So you better show some respect! Or we'll teach you a lesson!"

Theodore Nelson was practically a household name in Jakarda City because he was the most powerful man around!

He had risen early, gathered many subordinates, and later set his sights on the port trade in Jakarda City.

Of course, he wasn't trading but collecting tolls. Anyone trading through the port of Jakarda City had to pay a certain percentage as a toll, or they couldn't expect their goods to pass through smoothly!

Over the years, Theodore's actions had caused constant complaints from the public, but neither individuals nor companies could do anything about him!

Because even if the police wanted to arrest him, he would have his subordinates take the fall!

And then, there would be the most severe retaliation!

He had killed many people!

Because of this, Theodore was a force to be reckoned with in Jakarda City!

So much so that among many student groups, there was often a joke that if two people were about to fight, one would claim to know Theodore to scare the other, which showed Theodore's influence in Jakarda City.

So when Luna said this, Lily's relatives all had their eyes light up!

"Holy crap! Louis even knows Theodore? That's amazing!"

"From what Luna said, he and Theodore are good friends. No wonder he speaks so confidently!"

"We're really lucky to have Louis!"

When Jacob heard these words, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked Louis seriously, "You know Theodore? Are you guys tight?"

Louis coughed and nodded deeply, "That's right, so what?"

However, he was still very nervous!

Because he didn't know Theodore at all!

He had only said that to Luna because he was drunk.

But using Theodore's name to scare Jacob, he definitely wouldn't dare to push him anymore!

After all, he didn't seem capable of finding someone like Theodore to confirm it!

Thinking of this, Louis even started to believe he was really good friends with Theodore!

He put his hands in his pockets, occasionally standing on tiptoe, giving off a very arrogant attitude!

But just as Louis was feeling proud.

Suddenly, Jacob slapped him!

Louis was dumbfounded, "Why did you slap me?"

Jacob gave a sinister smile. "Do you know the consequences of pretending to be Theodore's good friend? You'll find out soon because he's on his way here!"
