Finally, the moment everyone was afraid of had arrived. Excuses and complaints soon followed.
"I… I only have a thousand with me."
"I don't have money! I haven't even paid my bills!"
"I have ten thousand, but that's far from enough!"
They could barely pitch in eighty thousand, so there was no way they were going to pay up the sum.
While they were scrambling around, Jacob sat comfortably on a couch in the lobby. He was served with refreshments by the staff as soon as he sat down.
"If you guys don't pay up, we can't let you leave." The cashier was getting fed up while waiting for the payment. She then announced on her walkie-talkie to request the hotel security guards. "To the security department, please be informed that we have a situation at the payment counter. Some customers can't pay for their meals."
Upon hearing that, Landry and the others jumped in fright.
Within a few seconds, they were surrounded by more than ten armed security guards.
