Chapter 447 Wanna fight?
James frowned and said, "Fatty, why are you stopping me instead of settling the remaining bill?"
The president stared at James intensely, extremely displeased with James' calm demeanor. Just a small fry who got lucky and won a prize, and now he dared to show off in front of him. It wasunforgivable!
"James, you clearly don't know the consequences of teasing me. In the City of Mysteries, How dare you set me up! Do you even know who I, Yael, am? Do you think someone like you can mess with me?" Yael no longer cared. He had learned from Quade that James was an outsider who had just arrived in the City of Mysteries and had no influence here. The fact that he could produce $990,000 at once was just a stroke of luck from winning a prize.
He impossibly was going to pay the remaining $990,000. He decided to force James to pay the rest.
Brandy's expression shifted abruptly, and she said, "Yael, what do you mean by that? It was you who suggested splitting the bill equally. Now that Mr. Smith has paid his share, are you trying to renege?"
Yael glared at Brandy with furious intensity. He had now completely exposed his true nature and ceased his pretense. He stated forcefully, "This destitute fellow, can he truly muster a million dollars? He's undoubtedly attempting to ensnare me! To deceive me into parting with a million dollars? Absolutely not! I'm warning you, if the remaining million dollars is not paid, I will ensure you suffer the consequences!"
He directly threatened James, with his tone extremely arrogant.
James frowned, "Yael, are you planning to renege?"
Yael snorted heavily and signaled to Quade and the others to come over and surround James, preventing him from leaving.
True saw this as his face darkened, but he remained silent. He knew Yael, who was somewhat famous in the area and a rich second-generation kid, not someone to be trifled with.
To him, it didn't matter who paid the remaining $990,000; he only cared about the result.
James laughed instead of getting angry, "Yael, shame on you! You were the one who suggested splitting the bill, and now you're regretful? You were involved in ordering the food, and you agreed to it. Now that the bill is here and I've paid my half, you're denying it?"
James showed an angry expression.
Yael decided to renege. He said coldly, "Me, renege? Don't talk nonsense! A million dollars is nothing to me. But you trying to set me up, trying to make me waste a million dollars. No way!"
"The dishes I ordered were agreed upon by you and the hotel. I also paid $990,000 myself. How am I setting you up, using my own money to set you up? Isn't that reason a bit far-fetched?" James gritted his teeth, looking like a victim.
With his expression, Yael felt much better. He sneered, "Who knows if the $990,000 you paid was handed to you by someone else, merely for the sake of appearances?"
James sneered inwardly, this fool had taken the bait.
"Yael, are you saying that I conspired with the hotel to set you up?" James said in a deep voice.
In his excitement, Yael didn't realize the problem with this statement and shouted, "That's right! Someone like you couldn't earn a million dollars in a lifetime!"
Finally, True, who had been standing by, heard this and his face changed. He stepped forward and said unhappily, "Mr. Gonzalez, I advise you to watch your words. Serenity Haven Hotel is a five-star hotel with investments of over a billion dollars. We wouldn't need to scam you out of $990,000!"
With True's words, Yael realized he had misspoken and regretted it.
"True, that's not what I meant," he hurriedly explained.
James immediately said, "Then what do you mean? True heard it clearly. No matter how much the meal cost tonight, you and I agreed to split it. Now you're backing out, and it's not my money you're owing, it's Serenity Haven Hotel's money!"
True had lost his good impression of Yael and even his patience. He said indifferently, "Mr. Gonzalez, I advise you should pay the bill quickly to avoid ruining your reputation."
Yael's mood instantly worsened.
Spending $990,000 on a meal, even if his assets were ten times more, he wouldn't dare to be so extravagant. Moreover, he really couldn't come up with that much money right now.
The key point was that this was clearly a setup by James. If word got out, he would become a laughingstock.
So no matter what, he couldn't pay the money. He had to force James to pay, and if words didn't work, he would use force.
"True, you saw it. This meal was a setup by James. I'm somewhat famous in the City of Mysteries, and being set up by an outsider would be very embarrassing. True, don't worry, the remaining $990,000 will be paid, but I'll do it my way," Yael said sinisterly.
True understood clearly that Yael intended to use force.
He looked at James with some sympathy and then nodded slightly, acquiescing.
Without power, one was destined to be bullied in this society.
Brandy couldn't help but say, "Yael! You can't do this. You clearly agreed to split the bill, and now you're reneging. Do you have any integrity?"
Then she immediately said to Juniper, "Juniper, you're friends with Quade and him. Persuade him not to do this. It was you who suggested splitting the bill."
Juniper certainly wouldn't persuade Yael. She wanted to please Yael and said directly, "Brandy, what are you talking about? When did Yael say he would split the bill? He clearly said he would treat us."
Brandy's eyes widened in disbelief that Juniper would distort the truth like this! "Juniper!" Brandy exclaimed.
Juniper snorted, "Brandy, I advise you to distance yourself from him, so you don't get implicated. Yael has a lot of influence in the City of Mysteries!"
Brandy was trembling with anger. Juniper's shamelessness had refreshed her impression.
Yael said, "James, I advise you to pay the remaining $990,000, or your losses will be much more than that!"
He and the other three, including Quade, surrounded James, ready to use force.
At this moment, James suddenly smiled, "Interesting, Yael. Do you think you can really force me?"
Yael arrogantly said, "You're an outsider, and you dare to be arrogant in the City of Mysteries? I think you're an idiot. With just one phone call, I can have you thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, believe it or not?"
Yael exuded assurance, convinced of his advantageous position.
But as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, his vision blurred, and a heavy slap landed on his face, knocking him to the ground.
