THE MAN’S DECREE - Season 2 Episode 31

Yolanda was caught off guard, as she had no idea how much Jared could afford. Hence, she asked,

“Jared, Rhino is asking you how much are you willing to compensate him? I would like to remind you if it

wasn’t for me, Rhino would’ve crippled you no matter how rich you are.”

Yolanda tried to scare Jared, hoping that he would be willing to fork out more to avoid any physical

punishment.

When Rhino heard how Yolanda sang his praises, he couldn’t help but break into a smile.

“Is this enough?” Jared raised a finger.

“Do you think ten thousand can satisfy me?” Rhino sneered with a grim expression.

“Jared, what are you thinking? Rhino isn’t a beggar. How can you offer only ten thousand?” Yolanda admonished Jared while desperately signaling him with her eyes.

“I didn’t say ten thousand.” Jared shook his head.

“Even a hundred thousand is too little,” Rhino retorted.

At that moment, Yolanda fell into a dilemma because a hundred thousand was a huge sum. Considering

Jared had just been released from prison, there was no way he would have that kind of money.

“Rhino, just look at him. Ten thousand is probably his limit. As he has just gotten out of jail, he barely has

any money at all,” Yolanda pleaded on behalf of Jared.

“Just out from prison?” Rhino was caught by surprise. “No wonder he is so ruthless and has some guts. I

don’t care whether he has the money or not. A hundred thousand just won’t do for hitting me.”

At Rhino’s refusal, Yolanda turned to Jared again. “You should increase your offer. If you don’t have

enough, I can lend you everything I have. But, I have to be clear that you must pay me back. After all, I’m

only loaning you the money on Hilda’s account.”

“I wasn’t talking about a hundred thousand either.” Jared shook his head.

Yolanda was stunned to hear his answer. In contrast, Rhino’s face lit up in ecstasy. Nevertheless, he hid

his emotions and responded coldly, “Are you talking about a million then? If you really can pay a million, I

will let this matter slide. Moreover, I’ll even allow you to work for me since you’re an ex-convict.”

“I was talking about a penny.”

Just as he spoke, Jared took out a penny from his pocket and flicked it over.

When he realized what Jared meant, Rhino was outraged, “Da*n it, how dare you diss me? I’m going to

kill you!”

Even Yolanda couldn’t hold back her anger. “Jared, what’s the meaning of this? Why are you only

offering a penny? After all that I have done for you, why aren’t you the least bit cooperative? Da*n, I have had it with you!” Yolanda exploded. If it wasn’t for Hilda, she wouldn’t even have cared about Jared.

After she got out of the way, Rhino grabbed a chair and swung it at Jared.

Having brought more than ten men with him, he was no longer afraid. Therefore, he attacked with all the

ruthlessness he could muster.

Just before Rhino could land his strike, Jared flicked the coin out from his hand. The coin shot out like a

bullet and struck Rhino’s wrist.

As an excruciating pain descended upon him, Rhino threw the chair aside. Checking his wrist, he

realized that it was bleeding profusely.

“Kill him! Just kill him!” Rhino thundered.

At his cue, his men charged at Jared while brandishing the weapons in their hands.

“Jared!” Hilda exclaimed at the sight.

Just when she wanted to shield Jared, Yolanda forcefully held her back.

If she had joined in the fray, Hilda would have just thrown her life away for nothing.
