"How could you?" Rachel could not stand it anymore. She looked at the crowd with anger. Her question quickly got her reprimanded by the crowd. "You need to think this through, young lady. Our safety is of the utmost importance."

"That's right. We didn't have any losses, and we don't need any compensation."

"This is someone else's territory. If we really anger them, we might not be able to leave here in one piece."

Fade looked at Nandar with a smile and said through the clamour, "My request is very simple!"

"Please go ahead, Mr. Chen." Nandar still had a smile on his face.

Fade continued, "Close the jade store and compensate the prior tourists whom you've deceived."

"You're pushing your luck there, kid. Our boss..." The tour guide became furious as soon as he heard his request.

Another round of uproar came from the tourists.

"Stop with this trouble making at once, young man."

"We're not asking for anything. Stop with your provocation."

"That's right, so stop stirring up trouble."

Fade ignored them and faced Nandar quietly.

The smile on Nandar's face grew wider after hearing what Fade's request was. It wasn't long before his face suddenly darkened. He looked forbidding, and he spoke in a chilling tone, "I think you're getting the wrong idea here."

"When I mentioned a concession, I meant decreasing the mandatory 10,000 yuan to 5,000."

"You..." The temperature in Fade's eyes dropped.

The other tourists were also stunned. "But..." However, Kingston immediately said, "So be it. As long as we get to settle this, I don't care."

"Yeah. I've already spent ten grand just now, so five grand doesn't seem that much of a big deal."

"I agree. If we're comparing prices, we've saved 5,000. Now that I've thought about it, I think we really got a good price!"

"I'll pay 5,000 yuan!"

The response from the tourists angered Rachel, but there was nothing she could do.

It turned out that Nandar could understand their language.

A wicked smile bloomed across his menacing face and he jibbed, "Hold on, I didn't finish."

"I only mentioned part of my own concession. You should compensate for my losses because not only did you damage my goods, you even injured my men." The tourists looked crestfallen.

Kingston turned towards Nandar and asked, "How much do you need?"

He then thumped his chest and proudly declared to the others, "I'll pay this meagre sum. Our safety is the important thing here. Unlike someone who just had to poke the hornet's nest." Many tourists championed his declaration with praises and nods of approval. They also didn't stop with their bad-mouthing of Fade.

Rachel's face was flushed out of her frustration. She almost wanted to argue with him but Fade stopped her.

Nandar, on the other hand, also understood what Kingston was offering. He looked at Kingston with narrowed eyes as he asked, "Are you saying that you're willing to pay for my losses?"

"Yes. I might lack in other departments but money is not one of them. The losses should be an insignificant amount so it shouldn't be a problem for me." Kingston pointed towards his chest, posing like a hero. Nandar chuckled in delight when he heard that. He then nodded and continued, "In that case, that's wonderful news."

He raised one finger and swayed it gently.

"100,000! That's chump change. Let me..." Kingston said as he was about to pay.

Nandar, however, wagged his finger and replied, "No!"

"1 million?" Kingston was taken aback. He frowned slightly.

Nandar continued to wag his finger and uttered, "No."

"Still not enough? Y-You want... 10 million?" Kingston's voice began to tremble.

Nandar finally nodded and said, "Yes, 10 million dollars."

That ruffled Kingston's feathers. "Are you kidding me? You want 10 million for only this amount of damage? You might as well go rob a bank."

Kingston might be born with a silver spoon thanks to his father's 100 million dollar net worth, but most of it was in real estate. They only had about 10 million dollars in liquidity.

It was impossible to meet Nandar's request.

"1 don't think it works like that," Kingston said.

The other tourists all shook their heads.

"10 million? That's too much!"

"Why would he ask for so much money?"

"This is a crime!"

Nandar wasn't having it when he saw them not

sharpen complying. His eyes

sharpened and his imposing manner became a cage around Kingston and the rest. He threatened in a biting

voice, "This isn't a discussi

and I

will have my money. All of you will remain here if you cannot pay!"

"You may leave when you can pay." Nandar smiled grimly.

"I-Isn't this kidnapping?"

"This is illegal!"

"I don't have that kind of money."

Nandar chuckled, "There's a simple solution to that. A few spots opened up at my casinos and jade mines. You can work off your debts over there."

That offer scared the tourists straight, and their faces became chalk white.

Kingston and Hazel were also gobsmacked.

The look on Hazel's face was especially hard to watch. She could already imagine most of the middle-aged tourists here being sent to work in the mines by Nandar. She, on the other hand, was a young woman who looked quite pretty. It was obvious where she would end up.

"You have to help me, Rachel. I..." Hazel turned to her friend for help.

Rachel's face was stone cold as she said, "Didn't Fade already tell you not to give in to these people? Not only did all of you ignore him and tried to do things your way, you're now asking for help because it's obvious now that these bullies are taking advantage of you."

"I get it. I am at fault here but I really am helpless. I don't have any money. Rachel, please, ask Fade to do something," Hazel begged.

The others followed suit and began begging for his help too.

"Fade, you're good at martial arts. Please

save us!"

"Maybe you could talk to them, Fade. Who knows, they might still be open for negotiation."

"Everyone here is from the same country, Fade. You must help us!"

Rachel almost exploded right there and then. "Are you all so thick-skinned? You insulted him when he tried to help you just now, and now you're asking for his help after realizing who the true bad guys are? All of you are really..."

Kingston, on the other hand, interjected stubbornly, "Why are all of you begging him? Do you really think he can defeat Nandar? He's by himself while Nandar is the one who's calling the shots around this area."
