Finley crossed his arms, sneering. “Sorry, Andrew, but if you want more, tough luck! We’re out of cash. If you’re that desperate, go rob a bank.”
He was not broke, but he had limits. He would not be bullied into emptying his wallet just for this.
Andrew raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, “Mr. Moore, don’t push me.”
Finley snapped, “Push you? You’re the one pushing me!”
He was in disbelief at how shameless Andrew was.
Andrew simply smiled. “No worries. You can pay by card, or maybe Venmo or PayPal?”
Finley’s temper exploded. “Andrew, don’t test me! You’ve got some nerve.”
Ignoring his outburst, Andrew continued casually, “And if you’re low on funds, no problem! You can always take out a quick loan. I’ll wait.”
Finley’s hands trembled in fury, his eyes blazing red with barely restrained rage. He had never been so publicly humiliated. Meanwhile, his Hidden Dragons crew watched in stunned disbelief.
“Damn… Mr. Moore wasn’t exaggerating,” one muttered. “This Andrew guy really is something else. He’s practically a debt–collecting demon.”
Lauren and Francesca were barely holding in their laughter Andrew was relentless, stripping Finley and his gang of every cent. Now, he was even joking about them taking out loans to pay him. It was absurd enough to make headlines.
Finley gritted his teeth and growled, “This is your last warning, Andrew. You’re pushing me too far.”
The other Hidden Dragons members chimed in angrily. “Andrew, you’re crossing the line! You’ve insulted Mr. Moore enough already.”
“Yeah, man. Do you think you can just shake us down like this? Try that again, and we’ll stop holding back!”
“If you’re so strapped for cash, why not ask one of the VIPs on that platform? They can probably cough up a hundred grand without blinking.”
Andrew calmly stretched out his hand, his eyes gleaming with determination. “Whatever. You ate at Moonlit Apothecary, you pay. Everyone else, including the VIPs, has done it, You think I’d let them eat for free?”
Finley slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “You’re asking for it, Andrew!”
He was at his breaking point. Normally, he would have gone berserk by now, but circumstances had changed. His previous power base was in shambles after Atlas‘ downfall leaving him in a vulnerable position.
Andrew leaned in slightly, his tone cold. “Mr. Moore, I’m sure you wouldn’t want word to get out that you -mooched off a meal without paying, would you?”
