Zachariah looked at those people with a frown. "They didn't ask for a few days to think about it and just agreed with my proposal. Even though ten percent is not a lot, it's not too little either. And this is not just a one-off transaction. They had to contribute annually!"One of the old men said, "Yes. I also think it went too smoothly. Don't they need to go back and discuss it or bargain with us before they agreed? I found it hard to believe they just agreed with us without any negotiation."The other man smiled. "Mister Zachariah, I think you are overthinking this. The Ballards are a lot stronger than them and we didn't ask for many requests. It's normal that they agreed because of our authority. In other words, they knew we are too strong for them and they had no choice but to agree."Zachariah thought for a while and said, "Yeah. It doesn't matter if they have another agenda, we're going to be stronger after they agreed with the contribution. It's a good thing for us."Elsewh
Severin hang up the phone and drove straight to where Judith told him."You—you guys are too terrible! How can you hit my husband? I already told you I can pay for your losses!" Judith's voice was trembling as she saw her husband being hit by those people.At that moment, Maurice just got slapped a few times by two bodyguards. Blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth.The rich kid leaned beside his Porsche and sneered coldly. "Pay? Hoho. Just look at the lousy car you guys drive. Can you seriously afford to pay? It's three hundred thousand dollars to settle this. Haha!"Maurice was resented. He glared and said, "Are you kidding me? Three hundred thousand dollars? Your car doesn't even worth that much. It's just a small scratch and you're asking us to pay you three hundred thousand dollars? It's daylight robbery!"The rich kid became gloomy upon hearing that. "What did you say? I only got this car just a few days ago and you guys crashed it! You should be lucky I'm only ask
Severin walked over. His face looked terrible when he saw there was blood on the corner of Maurice's mouth.Judith explained, "We were driving on the road. Suddenly, this car changed its lane all of a sudden. We didn't have time to brake the car and bumped into its side and scratched his car. He came down angrily and asked for three hundred thousand dollars. Your father tried to reason with them but the bodyguards slapped your dad."It infuriated Severin more after hearing that. From Judith's context, he could tell it was not his parent fault, and yet, the rich kid bullied them just because he thought he could.Severin smiled at Judith and Maurice. "It's going to be fine. Just stand here and leave the rest to me."After that, he took his time to walk to where the rich kid in the white shirt was. "You're the one who changed your lane at the last minute. How dare you ask us to pay for your mistake when you should be the one paying for our losses? And slapping my father? Who gives you
Before the two bodyguards could attack Severin, Severin kicked them a few times and sent them flying away. Each of them vomited a mouthful of blood. Their face turned pale and they sustained injuries."Ahh!" One of the bodyguards covered his chest with his hand with a painful expression. He felt like he had two broken ribs. The other bodyguard was in pain and felt shocked.Since Quintus disliked having too many bodyguards around him, he had only brought two of them with him. Especially since he was here to discuss the wedding date with Jada.However, the bodyguards were not weak. They were actually both level eight grandmasters. Normally, it was more than enough to have them around as not everyone could easily defeat them.What a turn of events that they were immediately defeated before they could even touch Severin. The most surprising part was they could not even keep up with Severin's speed.'How—how is that possible?"Quintus was dumbstruck and had trouble believing how weak
Severin, however, took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and said, "Mom, Dad, don't be scared. There aren't a lot of people that I can't afford to offend, and as far as I know, there aren't any such people from Riverson. Besides, he threatened to cut off your tongues, and I can't just let him get away with that!"After waiting for more than ten minutes, several Audis drove over and parked on the side of the road, and a group of bodyguards in suits got off the car. The car leading them was a Bentley and the people who got down from it were Victor and Jada. They brought their men over and approached Severin in an intimidating fashion."Are you okay, Quintus? Who beat you up? Tell me and I'll deal with them for you!" Victor immediately stepped forward and asked concernedly.After all, the Novaks were a strong family with plenty of assets, and Jada's future marriage to Quintus would be advantageous to the Stones! It would then be much easier to establish a business in Riverson, w
At that moment, Severin walked up to Jada with a smile as he looked at her and said, "Hehe, what a coincidence, Miss Jada! I didn't think we'd meet again so soon! Does this count as fate, in your opinion?”Jada smiled coldly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and said, "Hehe, more like bad luck!"Severin smiled. "By the way, your fiance changed lanes suddenly on the road, but rather than apologizing to my parents, he beat my father up and even asked us to pay three hundred thousand or else he'll cut off my parents' tongues. Why would you be attracted to a bully like him?"Jada's lips twitched a few times, and she looked at Severin disdainfully. "You have no business poking your nose into my affairs."Severin smiled. "Trust me, I'm not interested in your life either. Anyway, he said that he'll pay us three hundred thousand, so did you come here with the money?""Fat chance!" Victor and Quintus had already ended their discussion and began walking over from nearby."Wow, Victo
Victor, Jada, and Quintus looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. Their faces were already ashen from fright."Didn't you say that you hired several elites? Why are they so useless?" Jada did not understand those things and blamed Victor angrily."They looked really strong to me! I didn't expect them to be faking their abilities." Victor did not understand a single thing about attainment and whatnot, hence his similarly confused expression. He paid a lot of money to hire those men, but they ended up getting knocked down so quickly that they failed to even land a blow on Severin! It was thoroughly humiliating."Sir, we didn't fake our abilities. We may be strong, but he's far too strong!" one of the elites said as he collapsed on the ground."Hehe, it's your turn now!" Severin cracked his knuckles. The three of them unconsciously took a step back as soon as they heard that."D-d-d-don't you dare come over, Severin! I'll start moaning if you do!" Jada immediately threatened.
"You..." Quintus felt the burning pain on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Severin. There was blood dripping from the corners of his lips too.As soon as Victor saw what was going on, he immediately pulled Quintus to one side and advised, "I don't think you should confront him head-on like that. He's not afraid of anyone, and you stand to lose big time if he cuts off your tongue!" After saying that, he placed his lips close to Quintus's ear and reminded softly, "Let's give in for now. After all, this is Brookbourn, and you'll have plenty of chances to get back at him in the future if you can get out of this with your life intact!""But why should I kneel to him? I'll never do that, especially not to someone like him!" Quintus continued to stare viciously at Severin.Victor thought for a moment. "He's the son of the Novaks, Severin. How about you spare him the act of kneeling and I'll give you four hundred and fifty thousand in exchange.""Do you think this is
