Chapter 3451 Stirring Trouble

The big guy's words and the look of indignation on his face brought a hush over the crowd. Then, as if coordinated, they all took a step forward, speaking up in unison. "Show us proof that you had that much cash in your wallet, or we'll assume you're trying to scam our brother!" Matthew stood nearby, observing their united front, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes. At least this group still had each other's backs. When trust was in the picture, everything else would naturally fall into place.

The thin man in front of the crowd looked shaken, taken aback by the big men advancing toward him. He took an involuntary step back, a flash of fear in his eyes.

He gazed at the big men surrounding the thin guy on the dock with feigned regret. "This really looks like bullying." Casimir's appearance brought a glimmer of hope to the thin man's eyes, though it quickly faded. Matthew caught the entire exchange, sensing the set-up. This commotion was clearly a ploy for attention.
