Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson were halfway through choosing their photos when they heard a commotion outside.

“What’s wrong?” Yvette Larson asked as she glanced out.

“I don’t know. Let’s go take a look.” Finn Taylor then headed out.

Just as he reached the door, he spotted a couple of guys charging toward Jamie Little. Without any hesitation, he rushed over and shoved them aside. “What are you doing?”

The head honcho glared at Finn Taylor with malice in his eyes. “Who are you? This has nothing to do with you. You’d better not stir up trouble for yourself.”

“Oh, this has something to do with me. What are you going to do about that?”

“What, are you her friend? Great, she owes me money. Why don’t you pay us 70,000 dollars?”

Finn Taylor glanced at Jamie Little. “You borrowed money from him?”

“Yes, but I’ve returned everything that I owe him and much more, but he’s still asking for more. I borrowed only 7,000 dollars, but I returned 30,000. Now, he’s even asking me for another 70,000 dollars! I don’t have that much money.”

‘I thought that something major happened, but it’s just a loan shark.’?Finn Taylor sneered. “Great, you’re a loan shark here in San Francisco. Where are you from?”

Loan sharks operated in a gray area, and it wasn’t for just anyone. This meant that they had to find themselves strong backers.

What Finn Taylor wanted to know was who that backer was.

“Andre Cavill. Have you heard of him?”

There were certain things that weren’t very easy to solve. Since Andre Cavill moved to San Francisco, he’d done some unspeakable things.

Since he had already done it, Finn Taylor allowed him to become the boss of the underworld.

‘This person is actually a lackey of Andre Cavill!’?Finn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle.?‘I’m the one who determines what Andre Cavill can and can’t do. There is no way Andre Cavill would get into such illegal loans. It seems like this man is just putting on a pretense.’?

“Heh, Andre Cavill? Ask him to come here and return me the extra 23,000 dollars that you guys took,” Finn Taylor commanded as though he was the boss of Andre Cavill.

The others couldn’t help but burst out into laughter. “You make it sound as though you know our boss. Why don’t you call him over then since you’re so amazing?”

Finn Taylor sneered. “Do you really want me to call him? If I call him over, it won’t be just a matter of 23,000 dollars. I think you’d better just fork out the money now.”

The men thought that Finn Taylor was simply making things up.?‘There’s no way that this guy knows Andre Cavill.’

“F*ck! You don’t know Andre Cavill, but you’re still trying to put up a show? Jamie Little, when are you going to return us the 70,000 dollars?”

Finn Taylor owed Jamie Little a favor, and the former never liked to owe anyone anything.

These men in front of him were going around in Andre Cavill’s name. Since Andre Cavill was his man, Finn Taylor was naturally not going to let these men off.

Finn Taylor then whipped out his phone and made a call to Andre Cavill. “Andre, you’re really something. Someone borrowed only 7,000 dollars from you, but 30,000 isn’t even enough? You even asked them to collect another 70,000 dollars? Why don’t you just ask for fifty billion? You’d better come over right now!”

Finn Taylor hung up and sent his location to Andre Cavill, who was currently in his bar. The latter was dumbfounded by his boss’s sudden call, and he turned to his lackeys. “Did anyone here become a loan shark?”

The men in front of him were confused. “No, Boss. Didn’t you say that we aren’t allowed to do that?”

“That’s right. Then, why did Mr. Taylor say that I did? Forget it—I’ll go over and take a look.” Andre Cavill then headed for Finn Taylor’s location with three of his men.

“Hehe, you’re really going all out. You even made a call. Alright, I’ll wait here and see if Mr. Cavill shows up.” That man was in no hurry, and he took a seat, eager to expose Finn Taylor’s lies.

Yet, four men rushed in less than half an hour later.

“Mr. Taylor, what do you mean? I haven’t loaned anyone any money!”

That man was still seated on the sofa with a grin on his face, but the man that ran in all of a sudden threw him off-guard. He recognized that man—it was Andre Cavill!

He was so frightened that he got out of his seat.

“How am I supposed to know? He said that he’s your lackey. My friend borrowed 7,000 dollars from him, but he asked for 30,000 back. Now, he’s even asking for 70,000 dollars!”

Andre Cavill turned in the direction that Finn Taylor pointed, only to see a foreign face. “Who are you? Why are you smearing my name?”

That man was in a frenzy. “M-my name is Ratty. Mr. Cavill, I’d never dare to pretend to be your lackey. I was just boasting—I never thought that…”

Ratty was distraught.?‘From the way Andre Cavill approached that man, it seems like the latter is his boss.’?

“Oh, so you tried to use my identity to scare my boss.”

Ratty was right. He’d been in the industry for decades and could tell from just one glance who held the higher position amongst them.

Now, he was on the verge of breaking down.

“Why don’t you tell me how we should resolve this matter?” Finn Taylor cut in just then.

Ratty glanced at Finn Taylor tentatively. “What do you intend to do?”

“It’s simple. We can either deal with you as though you’re Andre Cavill’s lackey or as though you’re not Andre Cavill’s lackey. What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“If you’re Andre Cavill’s lackey, you did something you never should’ve done by offering this loan. Hence, we’ll consider this matter settled once we chop off all your fingers.”

‘F*ck!’

Shock—utter shock!

Ratty felt as though he was going to vomit blood, and he asked cautiously, “W-what if I’m not Mr. Cavill’s lackey?”

“That’s even more simple. Jamie Little is my friend, and you blackmailed my friend. Either you pay her ten-fold, or you disappear from the face of this earth right now. Take your pick.”

It was only then that Ratty realized just how deep a trouble he had gotten himself into.

‘Disappearing from the face of the earth means that I’m going to get killed!’?Ratty had no doubts that the other would make that happen. Given Andre Cavill’s abilities, it wouldn’t take much for him to do so.

“I-I’ll pay.”

“Alright. From the 7,000 dollars that she first borrowed, the 30,000 that she returned, and the 70,000 that you asked for, the total is 107,000 dollars. Ten-fold of that would be 1.07 million dollars. When are you going to return her that money?”

Utter shock!

Ratty was dumbfounded by Finn Taylor’s calculations.?‘That woman had only borrowed 7,000 dollars from me. If I were to return ten-fold of that, it’d only be 70,000 dollars.. Why has that become 1.07 million dollars with this man’s calculations?’
