Slicked-back's eyes widened when he heard Nathan's words.
He didn't expect him to remain calm or to be able to have such a clear and precise chain of thought.
He sneered, "You want to follow the law? Then we'll follow the law! But don't come crying to me when you go bankrupt!"
He then whipped out his cellphone to make a call.
Not long after, two cops arrived.
The cops took a look at Slicked-back's photos of the accident, then headed to the scene itself to investigate. They then determined that Benson was responsible for all the damages suffered by Slicked-back, Harvey Babcock.
Penny and her parents' face turned pale when they heard the determination of the police. Their eyes filled with despair and they felt like it was the end of days for them.
Harvey Babcock smugly waved the cops' result slip in his hand and sneered at Nathan and his family. "The cops have determined that you are fully responsible for all damages. What else do you have to say now?"
"Cough up my two hundred million right away. Otherwise you'll find out why they call me the T-Rex."
Nathan frowned at T-Rex's words. He stated coldly, "You keep saying that the antique is worth two hundred million. I'm sure you won't mind if I take a shard and have someone do an appraisal?"
T-Rex chuckled coldly, "This very antiques auction house is the largest and most respected appraiser of antiques in the whole of Channing. How dare you question the authenticity of my porcelain?"
"Very well," he huffed, "Take a shard then. And when you're done, you can finally stop trying to find ways to worm yourself out of this.”
T-Rex picked out a small porcelain shard and handed it over to Nathan.
He then proceeded to warn Nathan and his family. "I'm only giving you one day to get it appraised and to compensate for my loss. If I don't get my two hundred million by tomorrow afternoon, then you all better watch out."
His cruel eyes swept over Nathan's family nonchalantly.
Queenie, startled by T-Rex's behavior, quickly tucks herself behind Nathan.
