Chapter 401 Don’t Worry About the Money
“If one person costs that much, then 100 people would be…”
After calculating the cost, Lil’ Mackaque stared at the blond-haired rascal in disbelief. “Are you kidding me? Do you know how much that portion is going to cost you?”
“Of course I know.” The blond-haired man chuckled rowdily. “Bro, I know what you’re thinking. Do I look like someone who can’t pay up?”
“Yeah, you do.”
“This isn’t for me; it’s for my boss.”
The rascal raised an eyebrow, looking all smug. “My boss is a successful businessman in Melrose. He has many friends who are into this, so he had me come out here to get some for him. He even said to stock up on it if the quality’s good.”
Lil’ Mackaque stared at him with a look of suspicion. “What exactly is your boss’ line of business?”
“He owns nightclubs.”
“Don’t you know that many nightclub owners have been arrested recently precisely because of this? The situation is tense these days.”
“Yeah, I know. But my boss isn’t going to sell them; he’s just giving them out. Those arrests were mostly because they’d involved too many people. We’re going to settle it privately, so there’ll be no problems at all.”
His words sounded quite convincing to Lil’ Mackaque, and the latter almost had the urge to agree. “Let me go back and think about this. You’re asking for too huge of an amount, so it won’t be easy to bring them out here.”
“Alright, fine. You can contact me anytime.”
“I probably won’t in the next two days. Let me mull it over.” Then, he turned and left toward the other end of the dark alleyway with his bag under his arm.
