Chapter 39: Full Payment

Hammon said with a chuckle, "If you don’t like it, you’ve got that bottle stored at my place, don’t you? I’ll have someone bring it over."

"Your place??"

Ryan and Anna looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Angler, seeing that Ryan was straightforward and easy to talk to, kept up the joking: "You forgot? This guy called you a stupid sucker in the group chat."

Oh, right, the heir of the Brilliant Hotel. Only then did Ryan realize he was talking about that 300,000-dollar bottle of Louis XIII.

"Brother Ryan, I was wrong!!!"

Hammon was equally unserious. He shot him a glare and said, "I already changed my name to ’Prince’, what more do you want? Damn it, Angler, you’re really milking this. We agreed it was only for a week."

"No need for all that trouble. To be honest, I still can’t get used to that taste."

Ryan shook his head directly. "No matter how expensive the tea or alcohol is, to me it’s like a cow chewing on peonies, I just can’t tell what’s so great about it."

Hammon slapped his thigh again upon hearing that. "Brother, I feel you! Last time I went to dinner with my old man, they served some super-rare commemorative Liquor, and I almost puked too."

In that instant, both top-tier rich second-generation heirs felt a real connection. This guy had absolutely no airs about him, didn’t try to act cool at all.

Angler asked, "So what do you drink? If I don’t have it here, I’ll have someone go buy it for you."

"No need. I’ll have a Budweiser, make it ice cold."

Ryan glanced around and ordered casually, then turned to ask, "Anna, what do you want?"

"Same as Ryan."

Anna said obediently. From the moment they walked in, unless Ryan spoke to her, she never initiated a conversation.

Both Hammon and Angler looked at her with appreciation. At that moment, they felt Ryan had great taste, this was the mark of someone from a truly wealthy family.

Even if a woman like this didn’t become a wife, as a mistress or a lover she’d still be qualified. At the very least, she knew how to give face in public and was exceptionally well-mannered.

Especially being that beautiful yet not flashy, that was particularly important. Top-tier rich second-generation heirs weren’t just idiots who only cared about looks.

"Tina, just watch. You’ll see how he dies later."

Kai was still gritting his teeth. He was convinced Ryan was there to scam people.

But Tina felt uneasy inside. Thinking about the 1 million in tips, Kai’s words sounded completely unconvincing to her.

All she felt now was bitterness, because Ryan hadn’t even glanced at her once. And yet, before, he only had eyes for her.

While they were chatting and laughing, a staff member had already brought over the purchase contract. Angler double-checked it and asked, "Ryan, which bank are you closer to? Do you need me to take care of any friends on the loan side?"

Kickbacks on loans were always a thing, countless 4S shops did it that way. Angler offering to help made him a pretty decent guy.

"Just pay in full."

Ryan shook his head decisively.

Kai sneered inwardly and said to Tina again, "See? Still showing off. Let me tell you, nine out of ten car buyers take out a loan. Even Brother Angler’s own car is still being paid off."

"Why?"

Tina asked instinctively.

Kai perked up and explained, "Inflation. Money keeps losing value. Especially for this kind of luxury car, nobody pays in full. Look at how bold he is with his lies."

Angler was also taken aback and double-checked, "Full payment??"

Ryan chuckled and pulled Anna closer. "Yeah, including the interior and everything else. I don’t want my woman to stress over spending an extra cent."

Anna felt all sweet inside at that. She was about to get drunk even before having a drink.

"Alright, I’ll revise the contract."

Angler was steady and agreed right away.

Ryan took a sip of his beer comfortably and clinked glasses with Hammon. When he was in the mood, even with high uric acid, he’d still down a whole bottle.

He glanced over casually and saw Tina looking at him with a sorrowful expression. Ryan looked away, not trying to meet her gaze.

During this period, Ryan actually cared most about this Sugar Daddy System and had been trying hard to figure out its rules.

It was true that he’d recharged 10 million on TikTok. Ryan tested it, he couldn’t tip male streamers, and he couldn’t tip other female streamers either.

The TikTok interface was completely frozen. Instead, the system prompted him.

"Beep... Non-bound target. Unlimited money permission not available."

This really annoyed Ryan. He had wanted to tip those super big influencers, if he tipped enough, maybe he could enjoy those women’s bodies as the number one fan.

But the restrictions were that strict, which he hadn’t expected. It seemed his plan to cast a wide net was impossible now.

There were only three bound targets. Damn, that was infuriating, a heavy blow right to his harem fantasy.

So under the current circumstances, Ryan had no choice but to pour as much money as he could onto Anna.

These expenses were astronomical numbers in the past. Honestly, Ryan’s mind was still in a daze, it all felt unreal and dreamlike, but he had to admit, spending like this felt absolutely euphoric.

The staff quickly brought over the revised contract.

Ryan didn’t even glance at it. He just tossed it to Anna and said, "Sign it."

"Huh??"

Anna was a bit stunned.

Angler reminded him, "Brother, business is business. Our personal relationship is one thing, but you should still read a contract like this to be safe."

Ryan laughed and shook his head. "No need. I trust Brother Angler. Besides, even if there’s a breach, we’ll just honestly pay the penalty. Why make it so complicated?"

That sounded a bit naive and foolish, but to their ears, it carried a different weight.

It was like saying, if there really was a breach, even if you nitpicked, you’d at least have to be capable of collecting the penalty. It almost came across as an aloof warning.

Anna’s hand trembled as she held the pen.

"Th-this... Ryan, do I really have to sign???" After all, it was a luxury car worth 800K. She still couldn’t believe this was real, Ryan was treating it as casually as giving away a bottle of soda.

"It’s not that much money. Why are you so nervous..."

Ryan looked at her with a helpless expression.

Having read too many web novels, Ryan was envious of those protagonists who got systems or other cheats and casually had billions.

In reality, that was basically impossible. Unless you went to a casino, there were only so many places to spend money. Ryan was planning to ask around about auctions or something similar.

Anna signed her name shakily, and Ryan directly pulled out his card and handed it over.

Angler’s staff brought over the POS machine.

They hesitated slightly when entering the amount, but after the password was entered....

Something Happened...
