Chapter 375 375: Sam was playing him?
"Is this the place?"
Fifth Street was still bustling close to eleven o'clock.
Drunken men and women, young people in bizarre outfits, and those who seemed high and staggering around filled the street.
At this hour, Fifth Street was definitely not a good place, at least not for Sam. To him, it represented the darker side of a bustling city.
A place overflowing with material desires, filled with chaos and lust.
Of course, it was also the perfect breeding ground for criminal activities.
Louis, standing beside him, nodded.
"Last time, I saw him here..."
Sam looked at him curiously.
"How did you find him here?"
Louis hesitated before answering, "Lily told me... he might be here."
"So you just came because she said so? Weren't you afraid of the danger?"
Sam found it both amusing and pitiful.
This world is like that. Most people lament losing their innocence, yet they are often the ones who bully the honest.
Louis gave a silly smile, looking somewhat innocent.
"It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. I thought of being a hero and got all fired up."
"Let's go in and see. Wait, let me make a call."
Sam suddenly stopped Louis. The naive boy watched as Sam stepped aside and made a low-voiced call.
He didn't know who Sam was calling.
Could it be Angel? Given her family's influence, they could probably handle this.
After finishing the call, Sam returned. "Alright, let's go in."
Louis thought for a moment but didn't ask who Sam had called. He realized something—Sam was more mature than he had thought.
Though Sam's words often made him seem different from other boys their age, it was only when faced with real problems that Louis could see the more tangible differences.
Louis followed Sam into the bar, which was even more chaotic than he had imagined.
Cigar smoke filled the air, lights flickered, loud music blared, and conversations were noisy.
Sam took a quick look around and saw scantily clad men and women mingling, some drinking together, others embracing.
Some were even more blatant, stripping naked and having sex in public, clearly drunk out of their minds.
Sam felt a bit nauseous, seeing so many unfiltered displays of depravity.
It made him wonder what kind of person that man was.
As Sam and Louis
Hearing this, Louis couldn't hold back his anger.
"You bastard! You're lying! You tricked her into bed! You're scum...!"
"Hahaha, drugged her? Is that what she told you? Hahaha!"
Kevin laughed so hard he almost cried, making Louis hesitate.
Kevin, wiping tears of laughter, pointed at Louis.
"You're such an idiot. Believing a girl like that? Let me tell you the truth. I did take her out for drinks, but I didn't get her drunk."
"Impossible..."
"I may not be a good guy, but where's the fun in doing it on purpose? I just bought her a few drinks, bragged about my money and influence. Guess what? She said she wouldn't go home that night and wanted to sleep with me, hahaha!"
"Impossible!! You're lying! You piece of trash!!"
Louis's eyes turned red with rage, ready to charge. Sam quickly held him back.
Kevin continued taunting.
"Impossible? Want to see the photos? She doesn't look drunk at all. I even recorded a video, full view, no blind spots. Want to watch it now and jerk off in the bathroom? Hahaha, watching your goddess suck my cock, you'd love that, right?
Hahaha!!"
"Let me go, I'll kill him! Sam, let me go!!"
Sam held Louis tightly, speaking calmly.
"Don't be impulsive. Trust me, let me handle this."
"But..."
"No buts. Do you trust me?"
Louis, under Sam's words, calmed down a bit, looking into Sam's eyes, feeling a sense of reliability.
He even forgot that this boy was just a high school student like him.
"I... I understand."
Seeing Louis calm down, Sam turned to Kevin.
"If it wasn't on purpose, why did you take those photos and blackmail her?"
Kevin dropped the act, casually leaning back.
"Why not? Girls like her, I've seen plenty. Just a taste, not like I'd be friends with her. Kid, you're handsome, you should understand. Freebies are a waste if you don't take them."
Sam couldn't help but sneer.
"I don't understand what you're saying, but I'll give you the money. I have one condition."
"Condition? Are you giving the money or not? If you piss me off, I might spread the photos. Don't think about calling the cops; I've got multiple copies."
Sam just looked at him.
"Do you want the money or not?"
Kevin, getting annoyed, roughly stubbed out his cigar.
"What condition, you fuck..."
"Apologize to my friend."
"What...?!"
Kevin's eyes widened.
Sam smiled at him.
"My friend may be naive, but at least he didn't lie to me. I think he's a man. Compared to you, he's a real man. So, apologize to him."
Hearing this, Louis's eyes reddened, feeling a lump in his throat.
He thought, Sam really doesn't look down on me.
How do I deserve such a good friend...
But Kevin realized he was being played.
Fifty thousand dollars for an apology?
He stood up.
"You fuck, playing me..."
Sam smiled at him.
"Fifty thousand not enough? How about a hundred thousand?"
"A hundred thousand..."
"Would two hundred thousand make you kneel and apologize?"
"You..."
Kevin was confused.
He wasn't particularly wealthy, not a big shot. A hundred thousand, two hundred thousand... that would last him a long time.
For a moment, looking at this confident boy, he didn't know if it was real.
What if it was?
For someone like him, dignity wasn't important. Money was.
Seeing Kevin's hesitation, Sam laughed.
"See, it's clear who's the scum. Two hundred thousand to kneel and apologize, you're really cheap."
If there was any hesitation before, now Kevin realized he was being mocked.
Sam was playing him?!
He grabbed a bottle from the table, swinging it at Sam's head.
"You fuck, you're dead!!"
"Bang!"
