Roman sneered. “Your brain isn’t working well, but mine is! You have to borrow the money no matter what. ” But since you’re a returning customer, I’ll be extra nice to you.
“You just have to pay me interest according to the past interest rate. That’s nice enough of me, isn’t it? You don’t even have to pay back the capital. It’s hard to come by such a good deal these days!”
He was clearly bullying Shane! Shane was forgetful, not stupid! One of Roman’s lackeys whipped out a calculator in his hands and started tapping on it.
He had a cunning look in his eyes as he raised his head and said, “You borrowed 70 thousand dollars for three years, so the interest is 82 thousand dollars in total. You can pay 2,800 dollars per month, and you have to make the first payment right now!
“Of course, if you would like to pay it in full in one go, you can do that. But you can’t pay even a penny less. We have a rule here, and that is we don’t offer discounts.”
“Huh?” Shane was stunned. He had only made a call. But because of that, he was on the hook for more than 80 thousand dollars. What nonsense was this?
Roman had a look of disdain on his face as if he had suffered a great loss.
Snorting, he said, “I came here in person, and I’m only taking 2800 dollars from you. It’s not even enough money for my men to have their fill! You better appreciate this, old man. If it were anyone else, they would charge you much more than I am!”
Woody frowned deeply. With some quick math, he found that these thugs were charging as much as 60% interest per year!
Even though they didn’t have to part with the capital, they had the cheek to demand interest from Shane. They were too much!
“Shane, were they the ones you borrowed money from?” Woody asked.
Shane nodded. “I borrowed 200 thousand dollars from them before, and I paid back a total of 430 thousand in three years. I had to pay them 12 thousand per month!
“Later on, they said that I was short of a few thousand dollars. Because of the added interest, they forced me to pay them back six times what I originally borrowed. I only cleared the debt four months ago.”
“Shut it!” A lackey waved a stick menacingly at Shane and proceeded to knock over some empty bottles that were neatly placed in a corner. The bottles instantly shattered as they hit the floor.
“If you don’t pay up, you and your wife will end up just like these bottles. You’ll be in pieces on the ground!
“My men can’t control their strength very well. So if they accidentally break your arms or legs, you’ll just have to suck it up!
“I won’t pay you even a penny for the hospital bill, but you mustn’t pay even a penny less than what you owe. Hear that, old man?”
The lackeys had vicious expressions on their faces. Mindy had never seen anything like this, and she was so startled that she turned pale. She didn’t know what to do. Shane wasn’t any better, and his lips were trembling unconsciously.
“It’s not worth it to risk your lives for the sake of two thousand pathetic dollars. You’re a lecturer. You earn more than ten thousand dollars per month, aren’t you?”
Roman had obviously looked into the background of the Evans family. Sneering, he added, “Also, I heard that your pretty daughter is working at Helenova Ventures. Why don’t I talk to her instead?
“She’s definitely qualified to be the ace in the entertainment complex. She’ll earn even more in one night than you do in a month. We can even get a taste of her while she’s still fresh, so that’s a bonus!”
Sasha was very dear to Shane, so he panicked when he heard that. He hastily said, “I’ll give you the money! Don’t talk to my daughter or do anything to her! Please leave her out of this!”
Roman immediately smiled. “I’m glad you’re a reasonable man. Hurry up and transfer the money. We’re getting something to eat after this, and we’ll probably need 30 thousand dollars for that. If we can’t enjoy our meal, I wonder who we’ll go to for some fun, eh?”
“I’ll give it to you right now.” Shane didn’t know what else to do.
Just then, a voice rang out. “Shane, don’t give them a single penny!”
