Maximilian: Leaning back in his chair, a cocky grin on his face That was fucking spectacular. What's our next target?
I look at him you know there’s a guy who has 18 watches
leans forward, eyes narrowing 18 watches? Some bastard's hoarding shit while we struggle to make ends meet. Find out where he lives, Barnes. We'll show him what happens when you can't appreciate a little luxury.
stands up abruptly, cracking his knuckles Well, well, well. Look who's been living large, bastard. snatches one of his luxury watches
that’s 5 thousand dollars
laughs loudly, swinging the watch in his hand Five thousand dollars? That's pocket change for a man like me. pulls out his checkbook and writes a check
I scream to him hey! I’m trying to be nice to you and this is how you treat me
smirks and tears up the check Nice? You think being nice will get you anywhere in this world, kid? slams his fist on the table
leans in close, his voice dripping with venom Here's the thing, Barnes. In this world, nice guys finish last. If you want to survive, you've got to be willing to get your hands dirty. grabs Barnes by the collar
yeah but throwing money at people isn’t gonna work
throws the watch onto the table with a loud clink Listen here, you naive prick. Money is power, and power is everything.
narrows his eyes, a sinister smile curling on his lips Oh, you think you're some kind of high and mighty asshole, don't you?
Over the next few weeks, Maximilian devises a plan to teach the arrogant man a lesson in humility.
ok so what are we doing now
leans back in his chair, a devious smile playing on his lips Now, my friend, we're going to hit him where it hurts - his precious collection of luxury watches.
calls for his security team Gather all the best jewelers in town. We're going shopping, boys. grabs his car keys And you, Barnes, come with me.
smirking Oh, don't worry. You'll have a front-row seat to see this arrogant prick's face turn red with rage and humiliation. Trust me, kid, it's gonna be a show worth watching. opens the door to his sleek black sports car Hop in.
starts the engine, revving it up Buckle up, Barnes. This is gonna be one hell of a ride! zooms out of the parking lot, leaving a trail of dust and laughter
zooms into a high-end jewelry store, cutting the line with his charismatic charm Good evening, gentlemen! My name is Maximilian, and I'm here to make a statement. struts towards the display case Store Manager: rushing to assist Good evening, sir! How may I assist you tonight?
waves his hand dismissively Ah, save the formalities. I'm not here for a chat. points to the most expensive watch in the display case I want that one.
ok then I guess we should go home
grabs the watch and slams his hand on the counter That's what I thought. winks at the flustered store manager
ok how are we gonna pay for that
smirking Payment is irrelevant. takes out a black credit card This baby can buy and sell this entire store multiple times over.
slams the credit card on the counter Now listen up, you poor excuse for a store manager.
leans in close, his voice low and dangerous I want you to take this watch and give it to that arrogant prick. Tell him it's a gift from me. And make sure you deliver it with a healthy dose of disdain and mockery. Do I make myself clear?
