Li Wei: Hands over a worn photo Remember this day? I need 100 yuan. Here, take your class notes as collateral!
Hey bro you sure like to live life on the edge huh? Godzillancer takes the photo So how much do I owe ya for it?
You owe me nothing! Consider it a gift. Besides, how could I ask you to pay me back after all I've done for you?
Oh really? Why don't I just keep this photo then since I can't repay you? Godzillancer holds the photo
grabs the photo back forcefully Don't be ridiculous! That photo is irreplaceable. Just forget about the debt and consider it a gesture of friendship.
Well I am your friend so I'll keep the photo but at the end of the day you never know what could happen right? Godzillancer smirks
narrows his eyes Are you implying that you might blackmail me or something?
Oh no no no no I would never do that to you my friend haha!
leans in closer, voice low and threatening You better not. I have connections, you know. People who would make your life miserable if they found out about this little stunt.
Relax my friend! If it makes you feel any better I'll return the photo once we graduate high school.
smirks and leans back Fine. I'll hold you to that. But remember, one slip-up and I won't hesitate to make your life a living hell.
Agreed my friend. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go study for finals.
stands up abruptly Study? Who needs to study when you have me around? Let me take care of all your academic problems.
Oh really? How are you gonna do that exactly?
leans in closer, whispering I've got connections, you know. Friends in high places.
Oh really? And what exactly do these friends do?
smirks and waves a bank card in front of Godzillancer's face They pull strings, make calls, and open doors.
So you're basically saying that you're going to pay my way through school?
waves the bank card more confidently Exactly! Just leave it to me. I'll handle everything. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
Wow you really are full of yourself aren't you? What exactly do you want in return?
smirks and pulls out a VIP access card I want access to the exclusive VIP section at Club Paradise.
Club Paradise? Isn't that the most exclusive club in the city? How are you gonna get a membership there?
waves the VIP access card confidently Easy. I've got a buddy who knows a guy who knows the owner.
Alright fine I'll meet you there after school then. Godzillancer pauses So exactly which subjects do you plan on helping me with anyways?
laughs dismissively All of them, of course! Math, science, history, literature, everything!
Woah alright then it's almost time for the final bell so I'll see you later okay? Godzillancer walks to his desk and starts packing his stuff
grabs Godzillancer's arm forcefully Wait! Don't forget, we have a deal. I'll be expecting you at Club Paradise after school. And remember, failure to comply means consequences.
Yeah yeah I know. I'm not flaking out on our deal. I'll meet you there. Godzillancer finishes packing up and walks out of the class with Li Wei
pulls out a sleek, expensive-looking smartphone While we're on the subject, I've got something for you.
What is it? Godzillancer asks as he walks side by side with Li Wei
flips open the phone and navigates to a high-end shopping website Take a look at this. I'm treating you to a brand new smartphone.
A new phone? Just like that?
nods confidently Yes, just like that. Consider it a little token of appreciation for being such a loyal friend.
Thanks I guess but aren't phones pretty expensive?
waves his hand dismissively Money is no object when you have the right connections. Trust me, I've got friends who can get us the best deals in town.
