The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Scamming!

The man, sensing an opportunity to diffuse the situation, spoke up with a conciliatory tone.

"Please forgive my wife’s impulsive words. We understand that your intention was to stand up for the receptionist, and we appreciate that.

However, we must also acknowledge that our behavior was inappropriate. As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to offer you some compensation for any inconvenience we may have caused."

His words were directed at the receptionist.

Lin Qing nodded, her expression now one of faux concern while she looked at the receptionist,

"Yes, indeed. It’s only fair that we compensate for any trouble we’ve caused. After all, we should all strive to maintain harmony and respect in our interactions." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Oh? So much are you gonna pay?" Gu Jin asked with interest in her tone.

"100 million." Lin Qing said.

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

The man suddenly turned toward Gu Jin and said,

"Since you have disrespected the receptionist too I think you should compensate her some money too."

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow,

"Oh yeah? But how could I believe that you will actually pay up? "

The man’s smile faltered slightly under Gu Jin’s penetrating gaze, but he quickly regained his composure.

"We understand your skepticism, young man. However, we assure you that we are people of our word. We will provide the compensation as promised."

Gu Jin remained unconvinced. She crossed her arms over her chest, a challenging glint in her eyes.

"Alright then, prove it. Show me the money upfront, and I’ll consider whether I should pay the receptionist money or not."

Lin Qing and the man’s expression stiffened.

Gu Jin chuckled her heart, do they think that she wouldn’t understand the game that they are playing?

They would force her(Gu Jin) to promise too and when the time to pay money came they would run away.

Since they want to trap her she won’t be merciful!

On the other hand, the receptionist felt dizzy hearing their words

100 million as compensation?

She would faint from happiness if she could have 1 million at the end of the day!

"Come on! Show me." Gu Jin said.

Even though she looked petite in front of the two adults, her aura completely overwhelmed them.

"That...that I..."

However, before Lin Qing could finish her sentence, Gu Jin interrupted her and said,

"What? Don’t say that you don’t have that much money, you just now stated how important you are, and don’t say that you have forgotten your card at home, you can transfer her money through online payment mode."

Gu Jin turned toward the receptionist and winked at her,

"Do you have a scanner?"

"Yup!" The receptionist said and placed the scanner on the desk.

Lin Qing and the man’s face completely darkened.

Finally, after Gu Jin’s heated gaze, the lady named Lin Qing stiffly transferred 100 million to the receptionist.

The man closed his eyes to hide his anger while Lin Qing stared in a daze as her 100 million yuan was transferred to the receptionist as compensation...

The receptionist’s hands trembled as she saw the digits on her screen change, disbelief written all over her face.

She couldn’t believe that such a huge sum of money was being transferred to her as compensation for a brief inconvenience.

"Thank you... Thank you so much..." Her voice quivered with emotion as tears welled up in her eyes.

Gu Jin nodded in satisfaction, her expression calm but victorious.

The man suddenly turned toward Gu Jin and said in a gentle yet cold tone,

"Now you turn to pay the receptionist some money."

Gu Jin chuckled, her eyes narrowing slightly as she regarded the man with a hint of amusement.

"Me? Pay her money? But why should I?" she asked, her tone laced with feigned innocence.

The man’s expression tightened, a subtle flicker of irritation crossing his features.

"You have disrespected the receptionist just as we did. It’s only fair that you compensate her for any inconvenience you may have caused," he replied, his voice calm but authoritative.

Gu Jin tilted her head, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips.

"Oh, I see. Alright then I will pay up too," she began, her tone casual yet confident.

Saying so she took out her phone and transferred 100 yuans to the receptionist.

The man was intently watching Gu Jin the entire time and when he saw her sending 100 yuan to the receptionist, he thought she was checking whether the receiver was right or not.

He waited for Gu Jin to send the 100 million to the receptionist, however, Gu Jin put the phone back in her pocket.

The man’s expression darkened, his patience wearing thin.

"That’s not the amount we agreed upon. You must compensate her with the same amount we did," he insisted, his voice stern.
