Chapter 345

Valin approached the newsstand, grabbing a bottle of water from the shelf.

“Hey, boss, give me a pack of cigarettes.”

“Help yourself,” the owner replied without even glancing up from his card game.

Valin took a pack of cigarettes and asked, “How much for all this?”

The owner gave him a quick look and said, “Two dollars.”

Valin handed over a hundred–dollar bill.

The owner frowned, “Got anything smaller?”

“Let me check,” Valin said, pulling out a wad of cash totaling ten thousand dollars from his pocket.

The owner’s eyes widened in shock. He nudged one of his companions with his foot and subtly gestured toward Valin.

The men around the newsstand noticed the cash, and their eyes lit up.

One of them chimed in, “Hey man, no problem. I can break that hundred for you.”

Valin gave an embarrassed smile.

“Thanks a lot, buddy. I just got my annual bonus. I don’t have any small bills yet.”
