Damon was instantly infuriated and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the expert of Seechertown who can do anything. How dare you speak to Mister Penn that way?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Wake up! I'm begging you!" said Sadie with a pained expression.
Sally also said in a sobbing tone, "You're giving away our family heirloom instead of thinking of ways to save our son! What were you thinking? Are you an old fool?"
Damon was shaking his head in frustration. He pointed at them and asked, "How dare you bring him up? Our company is in trouble all because of that brat. I want to kill him myself! Let alone save him."
He coughed up blood.
That terrified Sadie and Sally. They hurriedly went to support him, and they nervously asked if he was alright.
Damon waved them off and said, "They want two billion dollars. Where would I get two billion dollars in cash? The Zachs, the Godfreys, and the Waders hold fifty percent of the company shares. They want me to step down as CEO. The company is about to be doomed, and it's all because of that brat."
Sadie was taken aback. She asked slowly, "Father, didn't you say it was five hundred million dollars? We can gather that money. Besides, why should we give them everything they asked for? This is the South Market, not the Aroma Casino. The Wrights are not to be messed with."
"What do you know? The debt collector is a combat expert. My bodyguards were almost slapped to death. Do you want to die?" yelled Damon.
Sadie was baffled, but she soon looked determined.
Sally said, "But you have to save our son. Also, we, the Zachs, the Godfreys, and the Waders are the four major families of the South Market. They won't be so merciless, right?"
Damon sighed and shook his head. He said, "You ignorant woman. The business world is like a battlefield. They will knock you while you're down. Do you think they will let go of this opportunity? You really are all hair and no substance."
"W-What should we do now?" Sally finally realized the severity of things, and she instantly panicked.
Sadie said, "Father, I hired an expert from Greenville, Yanis Foster. The casino won't dare to cause trouble. As for the three major families, we can negotiate with them. At least we won't be desperate."
"Yanis Foster? An expert?" asked Damon.
Sadie nodded proudly and said, "The Foster clan of Greenville are combat cultivators. Yanis is a legendary Ambience level cultivator. He's invincible. I promised to be engaged to his son, Hugo Foster, so they promised to help. Let's see if they dare do anything to us."
