9. Only $5,000

"Yes, you can see for yourself who owns the document right?" asked Nigel confidently.

The two officers looked again at Nigel's travel documents. Both of their faces looked serious. But seconds later, the bald-headed officer slapped Nigel using the document.

"You are still young but dare to commit a crime. How dare you falsify travel documents!" snapped the bald-headed officer, then crumpled the document up.

"What are you doing?" Nigel asked in disbelief.

But the two officers didn't care. They both grabbed Nigel again and dragged him away. Nigel tried to wriggle out by waving his arms, but he was far less powerful than the two officers.

"We'll just take him straight to the office!" exclaimed the black-haired officer, greeted by a nod from his friend.

Then, Nigel bit his lip to hold back his anger and embarrassment because everyone in the VIP lounge was watching him. His breath was hunting up and down when he heard their sneers saying he was a poor person who didn't deserve to be here.

Inwardly, Nigel cursed. He had priceless money now. What do they mean?

Without any more mercy, the officer dragged Nigel and took him to a narrow room dominated by grey. Nigel was pushed violently and almost hit the table that was there!

Luckily, he could maintain his balance and hold on to the table's edge. But in front of him appeared a man with the same uniform and a gloomy face, similar to a bulldog.

"Commander, this young man is trying to break into the VIP lounge!" cried the bald officer, whose name turned out to be Jeremy Lynch, while the dark-haired man beside him was Mark Dawson.

"Hmm!" Bulldog-faced man who turned out to be named John Graham was nodding. Then he took the security baton that patrol officers usually have and pointed it at Nigel's chin.

"You're still young but already dare to cause trouble!" he taunted with a chuckle.

Nigel thought these people didn't deserve to be left alone. People like them had to be fought against. Moreover, he was on the right side.

"Mischief? You should look in the mirror, it was your men who caused trouble first."

Bang! The security commander pounded on the table and then shouted. "You're a small child, you bastard! How dare you bully us! What do you have to fight us ha?"

"What do you have to think you can suppress me, ha?" replied Nigel, following the person's words before him.

"Commander, come on! This kid doesn't seem to have any manners and ethics. How about we teach him a lesson!" shouted Mark Dawson, the black-haired officer.

At that point, the Commander nodded and then looked at Nigel one more time. "Looks like he really needs to get a lesson, but how about we have a little fun first?"

"What are you going to do sir? We will of course follow your ideas!" said Jeremy Lynch.

"Hmm, I thought if he wanted to leave this place safe and sound, he would have to pay us some money. "Hmm, at least you should be able to give us 5,000 dollars," explained John Graham arrogantly. Then he turned his back on Nigel for a moment and turned back to him and said, "But darling, you definitely don't have that money, right?"

Both of his men laughed at this.

"Ha ha 5000 dollars how could you give it to us!" the two taunted.

In his heart, Nigel cursed their performance. He thought maybe they were used to blackmailing certain people they saw as unworthy.

This certainly cannot be allowed. People like them are the scum of society who must be exterminated.

Nigel lifted his chin confidently and then said, "Only 5000 bucks? Is that your self-esteem? Very cheap."

"Fuck! Dare you! Rated John Graham who felt insulted by Nigel's attitude just now.

Meanwhile on the other side of the airport … Aaron Parker had just stepped off the plane and was followed by several bodyguards. His presence in the VIP lounge certainly received a different welcome from Nigel some time ago.

"First Young Master, let me check the car first before we continue our journey," said one of the guards respectfully.

Aaron raised his hand and asked his bodyguards to wait. "Wait a moment! "I'll contact my sister first to confirm her whereabouts."

Aaron Parker's arrival in Longbay City is not without reason. He was asked by his father to come watch over Nigel.

Nigel is still very young and full of enthusiasm and fire but needs more wisdom. Besides, Bastian Parker wants to make sure he has a child 

His youngest didn't do anything stupid, like when he was still at Everspring.

"Why don't I dare? Is it true that you ask 5000 dollars from me? That means you're only worth 5000 dollars," Nigel replied.

"You're insolent! Don't you know who you're dealing with right now?"

Nigel shrugged. "Who? Are you a rock star? Soccer athlete? Or maybe politicians? I don't think all three because people like them can't be paid with 5000 dollars."

The three security officers grew even more furious at Nigel's behaviour. Their breaths sounded rushed, and they tried to avoid hitting Nigel.

"You're so arrogant! So what about 5,000 dollars? Do you have it?" asked Mark Dawson, no less haughty.

Nigel smiled faintly and said with a half laugh, "Never mind 5000 dollars, I can give you ten years of your salary right now!"

The three officers laughed and thought Nigel's words were a joke. Then John Graham splashed a bottle of water on Nigel's face. "Let's just say I was kind enough to wake you up from a dream!"

"Hmm unfortunately I'm not dreaming. I can really afford ten years of your salary, but because of your greedy attitude, I won't take a single penny out of my pocket!" Nigel replied firmly.

"Humph! You both listen! This was the attitude of someone who was arrogant and thought he was someone from the upper class. He should get a lesson that is more than this to be able to realize soon.

"Why don't we just take him to the back pool, Commander? Then dipped her face in there. That way he will know the difference between dreams and reality!" said Mark Dawson.

"Your idea is good too. Get him there immediately!" John Graham ordered.

But when they tried to grab Nigel's arm, Nigel's cell phone rang. Nigel casually answered the phone, which apparently came from Aaron.

Before Nigel could talk to Aaron, John Graham immediately grabbed the cell phone from Nigel's hand and spoke to Aaron.

"Hey do you know the owner of this phone? If you really know him, come quickly to the main security office of the VIP Lounge and don't forget to bring 5000 dollars to redeem this brat for causing trouble in the lounge! Remember you have to come here within 30 minutes, or this kid will become mincemeat!" threatened John Graham.

"Mischief?" he asked.

"Yes! He had entered an area he wasn't supposed to be in. He's forgotten that the VIP Lounge is for special passengers, not someone claiming to be on a jet from Everspring!" added John Graham, then ended the call rudely and laughed at Nigel again.

"Let's wait and see! Will your friends help you or not?" asked John Graham.

"He will finish you off when he gets here, and then there will be no more forgiveness for the three of you!" replied Nigel.
