Hissssss!After a deathly silence that lasted three seconds, the sound of people inhaling sharply could be heard coming from all around. Almost everyone widened their eyes in surprise, staring at Zayn incredulously. It was apparent that they were startled by the number he called out. It was 150 million dollars!It did not make sense. More than half of the attendees could not even make 150 million dollars in a year!In addition, it was just the second charity project and there were still a dozen more to come. Had Zayn lost his mind?Many assumed Zayn would make a higher donation than Dagon during the first charity project, but he only gave four million dollars. Given that, most of them assumed Zayn had already accepted his defeat by the second project and would only donate a few million at most. They never expected he would donate 150 million dollars. He was relentless.The host was a little shocked as well. He was stunned for a moment before he asked Zayn, “I’m sorry, Mr
He had every confidence that he could do it. As for Zayn? Zayn was but a clown making a fool of himself. He had looked into Zayn’s assets some time ago. With the combination of Violet Vision Media Corp, Leap League Advertising Agency, Siren Security Co., and all the funds that Zayn could mobilize, the man was in possession of a little over 400 million dollars. Zayn had overestimated his capabilities!Moreover, Zayn had already spent 150 million dollars earlier so he had only about 300 million dollars left. Dagon wanted to make him spend the remaining 300 million so he would end up with nothing. After considering this matter, Dagon’s expression was much more pleasant. “Trying to take me on? I’ll bankrupt you.” Dagon sneered. He was quite sure of himself. Soon enough, the third charity project was up for donation. It was related to disaster area construction. Many people realized that this was one of the highlights of the night’s charity gala because disaster area construction
Dagon took Zayn’s silence as an obvious sign that he was chickening out and the corners of his lips quirked up higher as he gloated, scoffing victoriously.So what if Zayn killed Mia and became the best in Guineve? He was unable to compare to Dagon in terms of wealth. Moreover, Dagon had recruited Diego as the vice president. He did not have to fret about Zayn with regard to his martial prowess.As long as he had Zayn quashed this time, the latter’s reputation would suffer big time after this. That would be when the Northmob Council rose again!Dagon could not help being thrilled at the picture of his imagination. Truthfully, the Northmob Council had done its fair share of evil, but so what? Those issues would be resolved naturally once he won the title of charity ambassador tonight.Sean and Gordon were alarmed. If Zayn failed to receive the status of the charity ambassador tonight, the 400 million dollars he had donated previously would go down the drain. Both of them got worri
Dagon was disgruntled at how Zayn was acting. He raised his brows twice, thinking that Zayn was blustering and putting up an act when he was near his ends, so he replied loudly, “Haha, compete with you? It’s not that I look down on you, but are you even qualified? Will you be able to produce that much money to compete with me? Let me tell you, I plan to donate 1.24 billion dollars tonight. If you can donate more than that, you’re the charity ambassador tonight.”1.24 billion dollars! To the guests, the sum dropped like a bomb as everyone gasped with widened eyes and looked at Dagon in reverence and admiration.1.24 billion dollars was not a small amount! It could already acquire many companies. The Northmob Council was really affluent!Right away, that shifted everyone’s impression of Dagon. In comparison, Zayn had no place next to him.That was right. Dagon was no rival against Zayn in terms of martial arts, but Zayn was similarly not Dagon’s opponent in terms of wealth. Moreover,
A donation fraud was nothing uncommon. In fact, plenty of celebrities had done so to increase their popularity, but it was simply embarrassing when they were ultimately exposed.A fraudulent donation could potentially be detrimental. To certain celebrities who donated less, it was not much of a risk as most of the consequences were a matter of morals. This charity gala tonight, however, was different. It was organized by the authorities to raise funds and lift the pressure off of them. That was why a significant title like the charity ambassador was offered. If one were to make a fraudulent donation in such an event, the consequences would be grim—even if it was Zayn, he would be penalized all the same.Well aware of this, Sean and Gordon were anxious. They were in the same boat as Zayn. If something happened to him, they would not get away scot-free.Zayn was unperturbed by the host’s question. Wearing a smile, he answered calmly, “Of course, I won’t do that. It’s only 1.24 billion
“I’ll donate…”As the host made the announcement, people began to offer their contribution, amassing nearly billions of dollars shortly!The sum was considerably large in the charity world. In combination with the charity projects before this, the total amount had surpassed 4.5 billion dollars.Swiftly, again, Dagon and Zayn were the ones left who had yet to donate. Everyone trained their eyes on both of them.The host asked, “Mr. Bones, Mr. Larson, may I know how much both of you plan to contribute?”Dagon had donated 2.5 million dollars more than Zayn, totaling 1 billion and 326.5 million dollars, which was already two years’ worth of income from all the projects the Northmob Council had. Just thinking about pouring all that money in as a donation hurt Dagon’s heart!If it were not for Zayn who had poked his head in, he would not even have to spend that much money. The person who came in third for donating the most had only donated some hundred million, damn it!Nevertheless,
1.6 billion dollars! What in the world!?Everyone there was fully cognizant of the fact that this was a sum an average person would not be able to go through in ten lifetimes—scratch that, 20 lifetimes or even 30, given the exorbitant amount!However, Zayn had mentioned it in passing, and he was not bidding for a precious gem at an auction but simply contributing it as a donation.What was more startling was that adding the 1 billion and 324 million dollars he had donated earlier, he had pledged a total of 2 billion and 824 million dollars!No one dared imagine the shock factor of it, so the hall was filled with silence. It was as if the pause button was hit. Not only were the people quiet, but it was also eerily silent. They were still staring at Zayn with dropped jaws and widened eyes.Even Dagon was surprised by Zayn. It was ridiculous. This was 2.8 billion dollars, a fifth of his Northmob Council’s worth, and Zayn was just dishing it out like that? Goodness!Dagon had seen pl
Snapping out of his stupor, Dagon gloated again. That was right. Zayn Larson was a fraudulent donor—the higher the sum he called out, the harsher the penalty he would have to face. Once Zayn was unable to pay 2 billion and 824 million dollars, he was doomed. The title of the charity ambassador was still going to be his, Dagon thought to himself and laughed inwardly.Sean and Gordon were panicking as they did not expect Zayn to go to this extent. With cold sweat breaking out across their foreheads, they felt like pins and needles were stabbing them all over.Nevertheless, Zayn could still chuckle as he replied, “Of course, I’ll be able to pay up. It’s less than 3 billion dollars—it’s not like it’s terribly a lot.”Just listen to what he said—what a brag! Would it kill him to not show off? This was basically on everyone’s minds at that very moment.Dagon guffawed while saying with a finger pointed at Zayn, “Zayn Larson! Since you’re such a boast who doesn’t think that 3 billion dolla
