For the same reason, big corporations couldn't simply erase the money on your credit chips whenever they pleased.
That was why credit chips were often used as cash in extremely large denominations.
Now these thugs had seen not only the green bills in Su Xiao's wallet, but also all the credit chips tucked inside.
Each credit chip held at least several thousand eurodollars, possibly more.
With that many credit chips, plus the cash, he had at least a hundred thousand on him.
What did a hundred thousand mean to them?
These bottom-rung thugs were working for the Salamanca Group, and the money they received from the group each month amounted to a mere few hundred eurodollars.
They had never even seen a hundred thousand eurodollars in their lives.
So when the thugs exchanged looks, they all saw the same greed on each other's faces.
They saw Su Xiao and the others settle the bill and leave, heading toward the SUV parked outside.
Without a second thought, several of the thugs hurried to their feet and followed.
Only after they got into their own car and began trailing Su Xiao's SUV from a distance did one of them finally ask:
"Are we really going to do this?"
Someone immediately shot back.
"Why wouldn't we? Are you blind? Didn't you see how much money that guy had in his wallet?"
"And those two women must have money on them too. We just didn't see it."
Even the thug who had been bragging about his cousin chimed in. "Exactly. If we're lucky, this could be our big break."
This wasn't a dozen eurodollars, or even a hundred.
It was over a hundred thousand eurodollars.
Even split evenly, each of them would get more than ten thousand.
That was a fortune. A genuine fortune.
