Nobody would’ve believed Gerald’s statement had they not heard virtual-novel.net say it with their very own ears.
Even so, while Rosie had undoubtedly heard his proposal very clearly this time—and was also aware that the special cheque was the real deal—she still had a nagging feeling that Gerald was simply bragging.
While virtual-novel.net had no idea how virtual-novel.net had even managed to obtain that cheque, Rosie truly wondered if virtual-novel.net would really be willing to just hand the money over if virtual-novel.net wrote down five billion dollars on the cheque, an amount that Rosie couldn’t possibly even dare to raise any further!
Titus himself was too dumbfounded to even close his mouth now!
“It’s been two minutes. Have you already thought everything out? If you have, then go ahead and fill in whatever figures you like on the cheque,” added Gerald with a subtle smile.
“…You’re the one who’s suggesting this, alright? I can truly write whatever amount I wish for on this cheque, correct? No take-backs?” grumbled Rosie in virtual-novel.net annoyance.
“As I’ve said, any amount you wish for!”
“…Fine! You’re filthy rich, aren’t you? Then I’m writing down five billion dollars on the cheque!” declared Rosie, still thinking that Gerald was simply bragging.
In virtual-novel.net mind, virtual-novel.net was wondering if virtual-novel.net had watched one too many television dramas in his life. To think that virtual-novel.net would actually dare to just hand virtual-novel.net a cheque so casually before telling virtual-novel.net to fill in any amount that virtual-novel.net wished for! If virtual-novel.net didn’t know any better, she’d say virtual-novel.net was simply mimicking the protagonist of some drama series virtual-novel.net watched! Hell, even in dramas, the ones receiving the cheques would still write down manageable amounts of money for the protagonists to pay! Nothing exceeding tens of millions of dollars, that’s for sure!
However, since Gerald was still bragging this excessively, Rosie wasn’t about to give face to him. Did virtual-novel.net truly think that virtual-novel.net was some protagonist?!
“I’m warning you, once I write that amount down, the cheque will be effective under the law and you’ll have to call the bank immediately to hand me the money! It’s still not too late to retract your statement, you know!” said Rosie, giving Gerald virtual-novel.net final warning.
“Chairman Slow, please don’t take virtual-novel.net too seriously!” pleaded Suri—who had been too shocked to even say a word this entire time—out of the blue.
“I’ve already said it multiple times, any amount you wish for! I’ve also already notified the bank in advance, so as soon as you write however much you want down, you can instantly go to the bank to have the money transferred directly to you!” replied Gerald with a wry smile on his face as virtual-novel.net shook his head in resignation. It was just five billion dollars, right? Was there even a need to make such a huge commotion about it?
“You…! Very well! I’m writing it down right this instant!” said Rosie as virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lower lip before writing down that exact amount on the cheque.
Following that, virtual-novel.net immediately called up the bank using the number written on the special cheque.
After a short while, the call was picked up and a sweet female voice immediately said, “Good day! You must be Miss Rosie Slow, correct? Please tell me the amount you wrote down on the cheque as well as your bank account number! We’ll be transferring the money over to your bank account immediately after!”
Gulping, Rosie then stated the information that the sales personnel had asked for.
Following that, the sweet-sounding lady then immediately began the transferring process while saying, “Thank you! Please wait a moment!”
It was obvious by this point that customers like Gerald didn’t even need to be there in person for such transactions. After all, his words alone were the greatest certification, and soon enough, Rosie received the ‘transfer successful’ notification on virtual-novel.net cell phone.
Staring at virtual-novel.net phone, Rosie found herself gulping before turning to look at Gerald in virtual-novel.net complete disbelief. He truly had just given virtual-novel.net five billion dollars!
“…You… How… How could you possibly be this rich…? What if I wrote fifty billion dollars instead of five billion on the cheque just now…?” asked the flabbergasted Rosie.
“So what if you wrote down fifty billion dollars? It’s just an extra zero, right? Big deal,” replied Gerald.
He truly couldn’t imagine why people placed so much importance on money. After all, Gerald himself was constantly wondering how virtual-novel.net could just return to living his life as a pauper! Oh, how virtual-novel.net missed his relaxing and enjoyable days as a poor person!
“It… It’s just an extra zero…?!” exclaimed Rosie, shocked once again by Gerald’s words.
Could someone just come over and beat this man up already?! He was simply too much…!
“Regardless, since the payment part is already settled, let’s head off!” said Gerald.
“…Head off? Where to…?” asked Rosie curiously.
“Isn’t your mother seriously ill? I’ll be curing virtual-novel.net first and following that, I hope you’ll stick to your end of the deal and allow me to borrow you for three days. Once the three days are up, your task will have successfully been completed. If you still feel like the compensation money isn’t enough by then, you’re free to ask me for more. Hell, if you prefer another cheque like the one from earlier, I’m fine with that too,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net slid a hand into his pocket before walking to the door.
The second virtual-novel.net walked past Titus, Titus instantly bowed respectfully toward Gerald while shouting, “Brother!”
He was now regretting judging Gerald solely by his appearance. After all, Gerald was a truly capable and resolute person.
