Chapter 563: Overwhelming
"These words spat out with no consideration for the other’s feelings, mercilessly crushing their self-esteem into the ground, surprised everyone. Who would have thought that these harsh words could come from such a wealthy young master? The boss couldn’t stand being there anymore."
"We’re already at the back here, so let’s not argue in private. I reject everything you’ve said. The principle I uphold is simple— whoever makes a mistake bears the responsibility. It’s not about who’s short on money and getting biased treatment; that’s simply not how it works. Furthermore, you’re the main manipulator here, the most guilty."
"The fact that I haven’t asked you to pay more is already generous enough. Yet, you still want a reduction? If I were to reduce your dues today, how would I face these brothers and sisters present? It’s out of the question. You need to reflect on yourself. Consider the money you pay as tuition fees for your lesson."
"I’m pointing this out now to prevent you from offending those who will never forgive you in the future. When that time comes, you’ll really be in a terrible situation. Honestly, you should be thanking me. After paying today, you’re purchasing a lesson, which will keep you from acting recklessly in the future. Wouldn’t you agree?"
"I am a good person, yet you can’t stand it and glare at me with such a vicious look. What can I say—no good deed goes unpunished, right? Look at the state you’re in; you’re clearly blaming me. Ah, it’s truly getting harder to be a good person."
"This is just how Shen Dong is; once he senses someone targeting him, he never shows any mercy. Like this man who thought they could settle things privately—it’s simply not happening. And to think he could get off lightly? That’s not how the world works, especially not at this stage."
"What they aim for now is to shift all the wealthy young master’s hatred toward the dance hall owner, making the owner realize just how difficult things are now."
"Having the group of wealthy young masters drinking together routinely was normal, and they were on good terms. Seeing that the dance hall owner hasn’t shown any remorse, they exchanged glances, understanding each other’s intentions— to make the owner pay more, ideally letting themselves off completely as they had felt wronged recently."
"They had been having such a good time, and then suddenly, someone ruins it; now that the perpetrator is caught, why should they have to pay? While formulating their argument, they thought about how shamelessly the other party suggests paying less—why shouldn’t they boldly propose not to pay at all?"
