Chapter 439
“Hey! What the fuck are you talking about?” Mike sprung up and yelled, feeling a burst of righteousness
after
secing the sleazy man pester Ruby. “My friend already told you she can’t sing the song! Why the hell d
o you.
keep pressing her?”
“Exactly! How can you force people to sing songs they don’t know? Aren’t you being too unreasonable?
” Ninal chimed in. The others who had remained silent wore simr indignant expressions.
“A show–
off, huh?” The chubby man sneered, “She should follow the rules since she walked onto the stage. I’ve
already paid, so she has to sing!”
“So what if you paid? That measly sum is barely enough to buy coffee!” Mike scoffed disdainfully. “You
want to talk about rules? Let me humor you. Hey, I’ll give you 100 roses. Sing whatever you like for the
first song!” he said and paid ten thousand dors on the spot.
“Damn! He sure is easygoing with his money. He spent ten thousand without hesitation.”
“He’s probably some rich kid. Let’s see what happens.”
The
ama, which was far more interesting than someone’s singing, attracted many onlookers, reaching the d
esired effect.
“I expected more than just ten

thousand dors,” the chubby man Jeered before pulling out a card and swiping it through the card ter
minal. He yelled. “Bring this girl ten bottles of red wine!”
Each bottle cost ten thousand dors, so ten bottles added up to 100 thousand dors. It took guts to s
pend that much money without even hesitating.
“Holy shit! Spending 100 thousand dors for one song? That guy must be loaded!”
“I can’t understand the life of the rich. 100 thousand is my total sry for an entire year.”
“That girl’s getting so much money for no reason, Is this one of the perks of being pretty?”
The crowd began whispering among themselves for different reasons, namely surprise, envy, and even
jealousy, while the owner of the music bar beamed from ear to ear. Usually, they only get a few thousa
nd bucks in tips at most; today, however, they were getting over 100 thousand dors, which meant tha
t the owner would be raking in arge profit even if he split the amount evenly with the singer.
“Why aren’t you saying anything, punk? Don’t tell me you can’t even pay 100 thousand bucks?” Chubst
er
taunted, causing Mike’s expression to darken.
“It’s on! Let’s see how much
you’re willing to spend!” Mike immediately swiped his card again and shouted. “I want 20 bottles!”
20 bottles cost 200 thousand dors, double what Chubster had paid earlier. There was no way Mike w
as willing to give up now.
“Hey, chubster. Do you know how powerful Mike is? You should give up before you embarrass yoursell!
” Nina boasted loudly.
“Hmph! Mike’s family has hundreds of millions in assets. What makes
you think you can win against him?”
“Precisely! 200 thousand is nothing to him. I dare you to top that. Let’s see who the final winner is.”
A chorus of taunts and jeers rose from the crowd of youngsters, who were at the age where they cared
about nothing else besides their ego. Naturally, it meant returning insults after being on the receiving e
nd.
“Foolish brats!” The chubby man sniggered and swiped
his card again. “I want another hundred bottles!”
“100 bottles of red wine?” The man’s order
caused an uproar among the crowd, who couldn’t believe someone
had not hesitated to spend a million dors on 100 bottles of red wine.
“He’s a real tycoon!”
“That much money could get him a house, but he gave it away so casually. Just how rich is he?”
Everyone was shocked. No one expected to encounter such a scene when they merely came to enjoy
some
drinks and music.
“I dare you to top that, brat.” Chubster sniggered.
Mike gritted his teeth, his expression darkening. A million dors was far from a small amount of money
. His
monthly allowance was
only 100 thousand dors at most, and his yearly allowance amounted to only around
a million dors. The thought of spending a year’s worth of allowance just for a singer troubled
Mike. Worse still, he didn’t have that much money on his card.
“Get him, Mike!“
“Yeah! He’s too arrogant! You should teach him a lesson!”
“It won’t be a big deal since the money is going to Ruby anyway.”
Mike’s friends were ticked off by the chubby man’s attitude and chose to
fuel the fire. Mike’s hands clenched
into fists, his face bing stormy with anger.
“Goddamn it! I just wanted to show off and impress Ruby. How was I supposed to know that the averag
e-
looking chubster was rich?” he thought.
“Pfft! Don’t tell me you ran out of money,” the chubby man jeered as realization dawned on him. “You’re
trying to show off your wealth when you don’t even have a million dors? How embarrassing!”
“You-” Mike’s jaw clenched, but he couldn’t refute what the other man was saying.
His friends quickly noticed something was wrong after seeing him remain silent, and they soon realized
they
might lose.
“What made you think an immature brat like you could win against me? How foolish!” The chubby man
scoffed. “Go home and y with your toys instead of making a fool of yourself here. Do you fancy your
self a knight in shining armor? Ha, what a joke!”
“You’re going too far!” Mike yelled.
“So what? You could always prove me wrong by paying up.” Chubster taunted, rendering Mike speechl
ess. Shut the hell up if you don’t have that money.” The chubby man glowered at Mike before turning h
is attention
to Ruby. “I’ve spent a million dors on you, sweetie, so you better start singing. You’re going to have a
few drinks with me after that too.”
“I’ll sing for you, but I’m going to have to turn down the drinks.” Ruby shook her head.
While she was shocked by the chubby
man’s considerable wealth, she also knew what he had in mind, so there was no way she’d share som
e drinks with him.
“I spent over a million dors on you, so how hard can it be to share a few drinks with me?” Chubster h
uffed. displeased.
“I’m not good with drinks.” Ruby seemed troubled.
“Shut up! You aren’t leaving here if you don’t drink with me!” the chubby man shouted.
“Is a million a lot?” Dustin suddenly questioned icily. “I’ll pay you ten million dors to leave this instant i
nstead of disgusting everyone.
