"Fane, have you heard of the saying that goes, 'Luckiest is he who knows just when t o rise and go
home'?
"Five billion bucks is a lot on its own, and Young Master Turner doesn't have any money on him
anymore. Consider yourself lucky today, being able to wheedle five billion from him," came Timothy's
response, though laced with arrogance as h e gave Fane a crooked smile.
Fane was already unsatisfied. With how condescending Timothy had just spoken to him, he offered a
tight-lipped smile in return. "No. I know if the situation was different, that I was the one who lost, henovelbin
wouldn't have let me get away with a fraction less of ten billion. I'd like to point out that your negotiation
skills are horrendous, too.
"Young Master Turner was the one who made the bet with me anyway. How can you say that I'm just
'wheedling' money out of him? You can’t blame me if he has terrible coordination!”
"Don’t overstep your boundaries, punk.
This is the Turner family's young master!"
The bodyguards, though still in pain, rose t o their feet after they had been beaten.
They were internally terrified of Fane’s mere presence.
Fane glared at one of the bodyguards, who was so scared that he staggered backward." Like I care
he's the young master of whatever family," he scoffed. "Don't think h e can walk out of this place if he
doesn’t pay me in full... Even if it's just a buck short!”
With clenched fists, Leo turned to Timothy, realizing that Fane was not letting him off the hook. "Young
Master Drake, help me pay this five billion, why don't you?”
Timothy found himself stuck without a proper response before he eventually replied, "Young Master
Turner, you’re asking for five billion, not fifty million. Even if you asked me to lend you five hundred
million bucks, I would have to think carefully about it. Do you think I can lend five billion bucks to you
just like that?"
Helpless, Leo turned his anxious gaze toward Fane. "I don't have that much money," he blurted. "I only
have five billion!”
Fane chuckled, amused at the situation. " Heh! I'll make it simple for you: Give me five billion bucks and
that stupid pig-head of yours. How about that?”
His words terrified Leo, whose face was completely drained of color.
Left with no other choice, Leo turned to one of the bodyguards with him and rambled," Logan, go back
and help me tell everyone o f what's going on. My father will have to come up with a way to get five
billion, or else, I'd die!"
After he said that, Leo turned to Fane once again and said, "I'll have my bodyguard return to get my
father and the money! It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Fane nodded his head. "Of course not!"
As though undisturbed, he turned to his female companions. "Let's play billiards. It's pretty fun after all,"
offered Fane. "We’ll play while we wait for his father, okay?"
His words did not seem to sit well with Tanya. "Are you really thinking about quitting, Fane?" she asked,
her gaze fixated on him. "Don't quit. Please don't hold a grudge against my brother. He's just saying
stuff because he’s angry!"
Fane merely gave her a bitter smile. "Miss Tanya, I appreciate your sincerity, but I’m pretty sure that
you know what kind of a person I am. I'll never repeat what I've said, and I do take everything seriously.
I'm not one to fool around, and you know that.
Besides, I’m not quitting; your brother fired me."
"Fine..." Tanya grumbled.
Tanya knew that it was pointless to argue with him any further; he was firm in his belief. "Then promise
me that we’ll still be good friends," she gently pleaded. "That won't be a problem, right?" "Naturally not.
We'll still be good friends even if I'm not a bodyguard of the Drake family!"
Fane nodded. The four of them—including Tanya, Sharon, and Yvonne—played on two tables and
started their own rounds of billiards.
Meanwhile, the Turner family's master was drinking tea with a marshal he knew and was on good
terms with.
This marshal was from Sky Dragon City, and he was a distant relative of the Turner family. It so
happened that he was their guest today.
The peaceful atmosphere was shattered when Logan, a bodyguard, barged into the room, huffing and
panting.
