98 Going Back on Words (1/2)

”This is a scam!”

A 20 something kid having 1.2 billion in his account?!

Are you fucking kidding?!

Wasn't he just a slum insect years ago?!

”I have heard rags to riches stories but this is beyond unbelievable!” Edgar muttered.

”Can it be true that he is a love child of some top corporate?” Rees faintly asked.

Before coming here, they have enquired about him from multiple sources.All they got was multiple stories about how he struck a fortune.

Some say he found a rare mineral while others claim he won big in gambling.There were even stories claiming he was separated from his parents after birth and only a few years ago they reunited; the parents gave him their inheritance to make up for the past.

Some ridiculous stories even boasted that he rescued the daughter of a rich tycoon who gave him this fortune as a sign of gratitude.

Each story sounded more ridiculous than the other so they didn't believe he was a big deal. Maybe he had money to influence the academy but in this world, the power and influence were more important than money.

At least that's what they initially thought but not now.Kaden and his gang were looking at them like how a tiger eyes its prey.

Earlier the four tried to make the gang understand that Zed wouldn't be able to pay them $2 million.

But now?!

For a man with billion, $2 million was nothing.

It was obvious the gang didn't think much of $50,000 the four initially offered. Any sane man would choose millions instead of tens of thousands.

The four truly wished they could offer more to save themselves but alas they were helpless. While their parents gave them a good amount for expenses, most of it was spent on the lifestyle they have built.

The more money one has the more is the wish to waste it especially when it isn't earned by oneself.

The four were pretty much the same. They have pretty much spent their reserves in the parties, sports, and so on.

Now what meager amount they had left was used to hire the gang.

The gang, on the other hand, has also thought of kidnapping Zed to take away his fortune but they didn't. For transferring such a high amount would need multiple checks by the bank.

Not to mention how relaxed Zed was while showing his fortune. It was as if he wasn't worried they would attack him. This was further proved by how he didn't ask for any help during the phone call earlier.

So the gang believed the smartest move was to take what money they can get now and leave the rest for the future.

”Kaden, stop!” Edgar shouted as the gang walked towards him and other three.

”Please don't take any offense,” Kaden licked over his lips in anticipation of the millions he would get, ”It is just business.”

”We paid you first!” Rees reminded him.

”Don't you know the rules of business?” Kaden asked with a smirk, ”You always take the most profitable deal.”

”Bastard!” Percy gritted his teeth at the betrayal.

Kaden's eyes were filled with a sinister glint. His entire body was covered with scales like a reptile and it was possible to see the scales on his hands resembled blade.

Without wasting any time, he and the others dashed towards Edgar and his three friends.

Zed jumped over the hood of his car to relax. With his back on the windshield, he looked at the confrontation between the 'four fools' and the gang like he was in the middle of watching a movie.

Some distance away, Jessica and Loren were struck speechless by the turn of events.

The one who should be in danger was relaxed! The ones who should be having fun were now being thrashed by those they hired!

”Nothing can be more tragic than this,” Loren felt pity for her acquaintances.

BANG!
