Chapter 428 Preparing To Act
Chapter 428 Preparing to Act
"Pay up! Since you're a scion of a noble family, twenty billion should be a small matter for you," Stout said, ignoring Sheila Harvey, and turned to Mark Barber. "And you, can you come up with two billion? If you can't, you'll have some trouble today."
Mark Barber let out a sigh and headed towards the door. "Today, consider that we've disturbed you. We'll take our leave."
"Have I allowed you to leave?" Billy spoke calmly.
"What do you want?" Mark Barber turned and shot a cold glance at Billy.
"Don't you understand Glavalish? Then don't come to Glavale!" Stout responded. "Today, without two billion, you won't be able to leave anywhere."
"If you don't want to pay, everyone will have to forfeit one arm. You have two choice.," Billy added.
"Have you heard my boss?" Stout chimed in. "Two billion for one arm is a good deal!"
"I'm a member of the royal family in Nanrania. If you dare to touch me, you'll face the consequences!" Mark Barber revealed his family background, hoping to deter them.
After saying that, he walked towards the door, with Elder Thornen and several black-clad men following closely behind. Mark Barber had his own pride, representing his country for business talks, and he truly didn't believe Stout would dare to lay a hand on him.
"Elder Ruiz, we're leaving too." Sheila glanced at Billy before standing up to follow.
"Are all Nanrania's people as foolish as you?" Stout looked at Mark Barber and asked. As he finished speaking, he swung his palm, creating a howling gust of wind.
Mark Barber had the strength of a Warlord beginner, nearly two major realms lower than Stout. Therefore, he couldn't evade this palm.
Boom!
Just as he had taken a few steps forward, a muffled sound rang out, and he was sent flying. He tumbled several somersaults in the air before finally coming to a stop, coughing up a mouthful of blood as he landed.
"Young Master!" Several attendants exclaimed loudly.
"Mr Barber!" Sheila also cried out in alarm, a flash of panic crossing her face.
As the person responsible for hosting Mark Barber in Glavale, she would bear a certain responsibility if anything were to happen to him.
"You... very well!" Mark Barber struggled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, his anger raging. He gritted his teeth. "I formally inform you all, no matter who you are, you're all going to die!"
"You really are a fool!" Stout shrugged his shoulders.
"You scoundrel, daring to harm the Young Master, you deserve to die!" Elder Thornen on Mark's side roared angrily, leading several black-clad individuals as they charged toward Stout. "Elder Ruiz, let's take action together!" Sheila Harvey instructed Elder Thornen behind her.
"Of course, Miss!" Although Elder Thornen, Chen, was wary of Stout's skills, he didn't dare to disobey the young mistress's orders.
"Since they don't want to take action themselves, let me help." Billy told Stout.
"Got it!" Stout nodded and stepped forward.
Without any suspense, the sound of bones breaking soon filled the air. Two elderly men and several black-clad individuals simultaneously fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Their right arms hung limply from their shoulders, clearly disabled.
"You're a War... Grandmaster?" The two elderly men finally realized Stout's cultivation, their faces filled with shock.
"You're surprised?" Stout said casually. He didn't pay any further attention to the two and instead turned to Mark Barber and Sheila Harvey. "Is it your turn now? Will you do it yourselves, or should I help you?" "You... you scoundrel! You'll pay for your actions today!" Sheila Harvey involuntarily took a few steps back. She knew that if she didn't pay today, she would definitely lose an arm.
On the other hand, Mark Barber's face turned iron-gray. He had seen Stout's strength earlier, and it was clear that Stout had intended to disable his arm.
"It looks like I have to take action myself." Stout muttered.
Then, he raised his hand, preparing to strike the two.
"No... I... I'll pay..." Sheila Harvey shouted, her face pale. She knew that she had no choice but to pay; otherwise, she'd lose an arm.
On the side, Mark Barber's face turned ashen. He had seen Stout's earlier display, and it looked like he was about to cripple his arm for real.
"You have five minutes!" Stout shrugged and then looked at Harleen. "Ms Knight, provide them with the company's bank account details." "Stout, forget it. Just let them go." Harleen responded.
"Harleen, it's okay. Give them the account details." Billy said with a faint smile.
"They..." Harleen clearly didn't want to escalate the situation.
"Don't worry, I promise everything will be fine." Billy interrupted her again with a smile.
"Well... alright then," Harleen
reluctantly agreed. She had a feeling
that her husband must have had another purpose for doing this; otherwise, he wouldn't antagonize them over these four billion dollars. Afterward, she copied down the company's account number onto a piece of paper and handed it to the other party.
Taking a deep breath, Sheila Harvey accepted the account number, took out her phone, dialed a number, and then began speaking rapidly. Five minutes later, four billion was transferred to SunPark Company's account.
"May we leave now?" Sheila Harvey asked coldly after putting away her phone.
"Get out!" Stout waved his hand. "Welcome back for revenge next time!"
"I will make you repay this debt tenfold!" Sheila Harvey ground her teeth and spoke, every word filled with venom. Then she turned to Mark Barber and said, "Mr Barber, let's go." "We will meet again soon!" Mark shot a cold, determined look at Billy. Then, he walked towards the exit.
"Next time you come for revenge, remember to bring some life-saving chips, or else your life will stay in Glavale." Stout said indifferently.
"Do you think we'll let this go?" Sheila Harvey added, her voice icy. Afterward, she left with the two elderly men and the black-clad individuals.
"Dear, they won't give up easily. Be careful." Harleen said with a hint of worry after they left.
"Don't worry." Billy reassured her with a smile.
"All right, you can go back to work. Don't let us disturb you. Call me if you need anything." Billy said as he and Stout got into a car.
"Where are we going now, boss?" Stout asked.
"To SHADOW," Billy replied calmly.
"Got it!" Stout stepped on the gas.
Billy then took out his phone and dialed Azure Fang's number.
"Boss!" Azure Fang's voice came through the phone as soon as it rang.
"Check the Harvey Clan for me," Billy said. "Focus on their family's relationship with the South Trade Group in Nanrania."
"Nanrania?" Azure Fang hesitated for a moment. "Did the Harvey clan do something unsavory?"
"We're not sure yet. Just investigate for now."
"Understood!"
After hanging up the phone, Billy dialed Azure Dragon's number.
"Boss, what can I do for you?" Azure Dragon asked when the call connected.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Take some time to gather
information on Nanrania, including the royal family members and the situation with the border
commander." Billy said. "Also, investigate in detail what happened ten years ago, and try to compile a list of the individuals from Nanrania who were involved in the incident."
