The rich man released a sigh of relief when Samuel did not fish his wallet out. Arrogance returned to his expression.

"He's done for! His claim was just a claim, after all," the man said, landing the kick on a downed person. "If you really come up with the excuse that you didn't bring your wallet, you'll be a laughing stock."
