An Understated Dominance - Chapter 440

“Ten million?” The crowd gasped in disbelief. Regular people could never hope to earn that much in their lifetime. How could Dustin make such a bold claim?

“Do you even have that kind of money?” Abigail asked, her voice a mix of shock and worry.

“Come on, don’t brag when you don’t have that kind of cash. You’ll just embarrass yourself,” Mike said with a sneer, looking down at Dustin. He wouldn’t dare challenge the chubby man again, but he still felt superior to someone like Dustin, who looked like a simple country bumpkin.

“You’re just talking big to impress us, right? Well, let’s see how this plays out!” Nina scoffed, not believing for a second that Dustin could have ten million dollars.

“Who the hell said that?” Chubster shot a cold glance around the room.

“It was me,” Dustin said slowly, his eyes narrowing.

“Are you challenging me?” Chubster mocked. “Are you really saying a beggar like you has ten million dollars?”

“And what if I do?” Dustin shot back.

“Then you can have the girl. If you don’t, you’ll have to get on your knees in front of everyone and bark like a dog!” Chubster taunted.

The crowd erupted in cheers. The competition had shifted from money to insults.

“Why don’t we just forget this? Going up against him is pointless,” Abigail urged Dustin. Deep down, she doubted him too. If he really had ten million dollars, he wouldn’t be living in her home.

“No way. He challenged me, so I can’t back down,” Dustin replied casually.

“But this is ten million dollars we’re talking about, not one million!” Abigail exclaimed, feeling anxious. She dreaded the outcome.

Dustin smiled at the chubby man, thinking about how funny it would be to see him bark like a dog.

“Don’t worry. It’s just ten million dollars. No big deal,” Dustin said cheerfully.

“Do you really think you’re a billionaire? Just ten million dollars? Yeah, right,” Nina scoffed. She couldn’t believe that someone like Dustin could have that much money, especially when even Mike, who was wealthy, was having a tough time.

“Let him be. We should just let him keep acting,” Mike said with a cool smile.

“Hey! What are you all whispering about?” Chubster shouted. “Are you going to do it or not? If not, just leave! You’re ruining my fun!”

“Who says I’m not going to?” Dustin replied with a smirk. “But let’s make it interesting. The loser has to kneel and bark like a dog. How about that?”

“Are you trying to scare me? Ha, I’m in!” Chubster answered boldly. “I’ll get down and bark if you can really show me ten million dollars.”

“Deal,” Dustin said, smiling. He pulled out his card and tossed it to the owner. “I want to treat that lady to ten million dollars.”

“Are you serious?” The owner asked, stunned. His whole place wasn’t worth that much!

“Why would I lie? Just swipe it. The PIN is 666666,” Dustin replied calmly.

“Okay, then.” The owner gulped and hurried to the counter to process the transaction.

Chubster started to feel anxious as he watched Dustin’s confidence. “Don’t tell me that shabby kid actually has that much money,” he thought.

The crowd around them began to exchange worried looks, unsure of what would happen next.
