Bart felt flustered. He discreetly tugged at Maggie’s sleeve and whispered, “What should we do now?
These guys seem to have some influence in this area. Dealing with them is going to be tricky.”

Meeting Johnny’s gaze head-on, Maggie pondered for a moment before raising two fingers in the air.
“I can offer twenty thousand.”
She knew deep down that she didn’t need to pay twenty thousand, but her brother had offended this
thug.
At some point, she had to find a way to appease him.
“Twenty thousand? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
The man let out a sinister Laugh, stepping forward in a threatening manner. “You won’t hand over the
money until I teach you a lesson, huh?”
Maggie’s heart raced nervously as she observed the dangerous aura emanating from the man.
At that moment, Jeffry, who had positioned himself in front of Maggie, spoke up.
“So, what’s your plan? Every citizen is protected by the law. Are you prepared to face the

Jeffry stated calmly, shaking his phone in front of the man’s face.
It seemed to have an effect as the man’s expression changed.
Maggie hastily seized the opportunity. “Twenty thousand is more than sufficient. If this goes to court,

The man regarded Maggie, seemingly processing their words.
Jeffry glanced back at Maggie and shook his head.
“Twenty thousand is still being generous. I believe five thousand will do!”
