The surroundings were remote, without any shops or houses around, let alone security cameras. It made sense why they chose this location.

Raegan calmly suggested, "I don't have cash with me, and my card isn't working. Could I call someone to bring the money over to you?"

The lady looked doubtful. "You're not playing a trick on me, right?"

"No, of course not. I don't own this fancy car. It was rented. I like to seem richer than I am, and I wouldn't want anyone to find out I burst its tire. You arrived just in time," Raegan assured the lady, with a show of earnestness.

The lady then said, “Ah, my leg is injured from that fall. Merely paying for the tire isn't enough!"

“How much are you asking for?" Raegan asked.

The lady's expression changed slightly. "I'd need something Like twenty to thirty thousand for my recovery!"

And that was on top of the eight thousand eight hundred for that cheap tire. What a bold request!

Raegan's mind racked, knowing scammers were naturally distrustful.

“I really can't afford that much," Raegan responded with sincerity.

“Asking for so much just isn't reasonable. Let's settle on a realistic amount."

Watching Raegan negotiate, the lady figured Raegan might be gullible and said, “Okay, eighteen thousand, no less."

"What about fifteen thousand?" Raegan countered.

The lady, believing Raegan was genuinely engaging in the negotiation, relaxed her suspicion and agreed, “Okay, that works."

The lady then passed her own phone to Raegan to make a call.

Raegan dialed and said, “Amber, can you bring me some cash?"

Once the address was delivered by Raegan, the lady felt her schemes had made it, grinning Raegan said to the lady, “Don't worry. Amber is close by. She'll arrive in no more than twenty minutes."

The lady couldn't hide her happiness.

Meanwhile, the man kept leering at Raegan, his drooling gaze unnerving.

When the timing seemed right, Raegan pretended to remember something and exclaimed, "Oh! I just remembered. I have three thousand in cash in the car. Let me grab that for you."
