Tom and his subordinates glared at Nathan upon hearing his words.
The man with the scar raised his arm, ready to attack.
However, Tom stopped him before he could swing his arm down on Nathan.
He studied Nathan from head to toe and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses further up his nose with a grin. "So, you're Nathan Cross, the boss and the investor of this place? You came at the right time. I'm planning to buy this place for a billion."
He took a contract from the lawyer beside him and tossed it onto the ground beside Nathan's feet. "Sign it and get out of my sight."
The bodyguards glared fiercely at Nathan, ready to tackle him should he refuse to cooperate.
Grace looked at Nathan with a panicked expression, knowing that trouble was brewing between him and Tom Barton.
If Nathan refused to cooperate, there was no telling what methods Tom would use to torture him.
However, Nathan seemed unfazed by Tom's threats. "A billion for my research facility? Ridiculous!"
Tom snickered. "No one has ever been able to refuse my requests, so you're not leaving until you sign this contract. If you don't, you and your family will suffer, though I won't reveal how. In case it scares you."
"You're really leaving me with no other choices, am I right?" Nathan asked while grinning.
Tom glanced at him with an unreadable expression on his face. ‘Tm already giving you an easy way out. As long as you sign this contract and hand over the facility and the project, I'll let you live."
Nathan smiled back at him and replied, "Truly, a son of the Barton family. Unfortunately, you're nothing to me."
Grace widened her eyes when she heard that.
Did he just insult Tom Barton and the entire Barton family?
She stared at Nathan, dumbfounded. Is he just ignorant of Tom Barton's true power, or is he actually capable of dealing with him?
"Nathan Cross! You're asking fortrouble!" Tom exclaimed in anguish.
