Chapter 133: Scammed
Chapter 133: Scammed
Luckily, their food finally arrived and everyone immediately focused on their meal.
"Wow, the food is so delicious!" Several people started commenting. Ryan on the other hand was silent. He had not eaten anything since this afternoon and after talking continuously with these ladies, he was absolutely very hungry.
After eating and joking, they finally decided to go home. Irina took the initiative to ask for the bill and intended to pay it. However, she immediately frowned. "What? 5 million?"
"Five million?" Everyone was shocked. What kind of joke was this? The bill reached 5 million though it was only 7 of them who ate there?
"Let me see."
Ryan quickly took the bill, he saw the figures written there were absurd. For example, the price of shrimp reached 200 thousand! Even though they only got 5 medium sized shrimp.
All the food costs the same as the shrimp. It was hella absurd.
"Excuse me, can I take the bill?" The man who gave Irina the bill returned to his desk wanting to get the money.
"Sorry, isn't this wrong? How could it be 5 million?" Irina frowned.
"Wait, may I see the bill first?" The waiter then took the bill. "There is nothing wrong here. There should be no errors for the sum up price,"
"I don't mind that. What I'm concerned about is that the prices on the menu and on the bill are completely different!"
"Oh you mean the prices on the menu," the then servant grinned. "Sorry, maybe you didn't read it well,"
Irina then took the menu on her desk and looked back at it. She then pointed out the difference, but the servant just said casually, "Please look at the bottom."
"The price of our food will increase when it is in the holiday season and we can increase it at any time without notice. If there is a complaint, then the customer is considered negligent in not paying attention to the warnings we have listed below," Irina finished reading the warning that was written in a small font. Suddenly, everyone started cursing.
"Are you trying to rob us?" One of them was getting angry. "Why don't you just snatch our wallets then?!"
"Ma'am, you are exaggerating. We are traders, we seek profit by looking at market conditions. We have already given a warning beforehand. There it's clearly written on our menu. So if you feel cheated, that's not our responsibility," the servant grinned at his guests.
"You think this shrimp is a lobster? How come small shrimp like yours can be this expensive!" Some of them started to roar. "We're not going to pay for this meal!"
"Not paying?" The servant grinned. "When you come into our place and order food, why don't you read our menu until it's finished? Now you are blaming us and even threatening not to pay. Don't let me call my boss, you might pay even more,"
After saying that, the waiter pointed to his boss' table. His tall and burly boss stared intently at their table.
"How are we going to deal with this?" Seeing that sharp gaze, one of them started to worry.
"I never thought this place could be that kind of place where people got scammed and blackmailed!"
Indeed, places like this were all over Crimea. They usually targeted tourists, especially foreign tourists.
"Mrs. Irina, we can't just give up. We better call the police," one of the women suggested.
Irina didn't reply at all, she just looked at Ryan. She didn't even realize it, but in times of needs like this, she began to depend on Ryan. It seemed Ryan's presence and his opinion could calm her heart.
"Don't worry," Ryan smiled. "We better wait a moment and see the situation, maybe the boss is not as bright as he looks,"
"Ah? Is Mr. Ryan crazy? Obviously this is a blackmailing place, how could the boss not be so fierce? I think calling the police will be the right way," one of them said.
"Take it easy," Irina said calmly.
At this time, a scream came from the side table. "What? How could the total be 10 million?"
Hearing that, everyone's eyes were fixed on that person's voice.
At the table, the man in his suit was eating with his wife and young child.
"Sorry, where did you go wrong? The total is written correctly on your bill," another waiter did the same thing that was done to Ryan's table. He showed the small print at the bottom of the menu.
After the man read it, he snapped at the servant, "You are trash! I will not pay for these junk food!"
"Can you repeat it again?" A burly man approached him. "If you don't want to pay then I'll beat you black and blue. After all, aren't you worried about your beautiful wife?"
"What do you mean by that?" The man in the suit looked panicked.
"Trust me, you don't want that to happen," the burly man slammed down the table.
The tourist's wife was pale and tugged at her husband's arm. Their young child was scared and took refuge behind his mother's arms.
Seeing his terrified wife and child, the man in the suit bit his lip and said, "Okay. I'll pay for it. "
After that, he took the envelope under his jacket and took out a wad of money. He threw it on the table then went with his wife and child.
Suddenly, all the guests who sat there were pensive for a while. Even the people whose food had just arrived there immediately went berserk.
"Hey, I didn't order this food."
"Bastard, that means the price of this food is 300 thousand?"
"Let's just go before they scam us."
"Not so fast!" Seeing that people were about to leave, several burly men immediately approached the table.
"Your orders have been painstakingly made. You can't just leave without paying," he said.
"Then how much do you want?" The guest swallowed his saliva.
"Not much, just 250 thousand."
Without saying much, that person immediately paid 250 thousand. He thought he was still better off than the man in the suit earlier.
The other customers stared at their half-eaten food. They doubted whether to finish it or not.
In an instant, the place was emptied and there was only Ryan and a few people on other tables. Those who still had not left did not dare to leave because their table was filled with food.
"Hahaha that table over there must pay 10 million," one of the burly men said with a laugh as he held the bill.
"Hahaha a business like this is very easy," one of the servants said. "Tomorrow, we're going to rob these fools again,"
"That's right, a lot of fools come to our island every day," the burly man laughed. The more tourists to come, the more money they'd make.
Hearing the disgusting chatter of the mastermind behind this incident, all the people at Ryan's table really couldn't help thinking. This was called robbery, not a business anymore.
At this time, the previous servant came to their table with the boss.
When Ryan saw the muscular man, he saw the tattoos that covered his whole body. He also had pierced ears and a messy clothing style. It could be said that this guy was a thug who'd been in the gangster world for years.
The man named Gunter then approached Ryan's table, grabbing a toothpick. The look in his eyes was very cruel, supported by his fierce face. The people who saw him must have been terrified immediately.
"I heard you guys refuse to pay?" Gunter stared coldly at his prey as he raised his feet to the table. The ladies immediately panicked.
Ryan just stood by and smiled. "Oh? Who are you? "
"I am Gunter, the boss of this place."
"Ha ha ha." Ryan then laughed for no reason.
"My servant says that you disliked the price for your food and refused to pay. Is that true?"
"Who the hell wants to pay bad guys like you? This is clearly robbery!" One of the women ventured to protest.
"You guys are smart, I was a robber," Gunter laughed. "Your bill is wrong. I'll count it again in a moment. For food and drinks you spend 5 million. To waste my time and energy, I'll put on another 5 million. And since you have offended us, the total is 15 million,"
Hearing Gunter's explanation, everyone at the table was shocked. This man casually charged them 3 times the price before. Even one of them felt like passing out.
"Why? This price is fair in my opinion," Gunter then raised his feet to the table. Suddenly a terrifying aura emitted from him.
Gunter felt the target this time was very easy. He just needed to press them as hard as he could.
These women, especially Irina, really looked rich. He firmly believed that they would eventually pay him.
"Why is it so cheap? It shouldn't be that cheap," Ryan broke the silence. His laughter also caught Gunter's attention.
"Oh? How come?" This was the first time Gunter saw someone like Ryan.
