Nathan leveled his gaze on Anthony and admitted honestly, "I'm your daughter's boss. The only reason why I'm helping you now is because of her. If you don't even dare to tell me how much you owe him, I can't help you."
Anthony stared at Nathan in shock, locking gazes with the man.
When he saw the firm resolve in his eyes, a strange feeling arose in him. He did not know why, but he just knew that the man standing before him now could definitely save him.
Ah, f*** it!
There was no way he could actually admit that he owed Jerry one billion; that was nine hundred million more than he really owed! He would not be able to earn that much even if he worked for ten lifetimes!
Throwing caution out the window, Anthony shouted, "I really only owe him one hundred million. However, he keeps insisting that I owe him one billion! Grace, Mr. Cross, you have to save me!"
Truthfully, Jerry had not expected Anthony to rebel, even after having one ear sliced off.
Incensed, he cursed, "D*** you! Tiger, chop off his other ear!"
"Yes, sir!"
The bodyguard with the katana, Tiger, lifted the weapon up high and brought it down, intending on slicing off Anthony's right ear.
"Dad!"
"Ah!
Grace and Penny screamed in shock and horror.
Terrified, Anthony instinctively squeezed his eyes shut and braced himself for the pain to come.
In that split second before the katana could touch him, Nathan moved.
Reaching out his left hand, Nathan easily gripped the blade with two fingers.
Tiger's eyes shot wide open in surprise.
How did he manage to stop my weapon with just two fingers!
He had seen people grabbing a blade with their bare hands, but never had he seen someone using their fingers only!
Everyone else was equally as shocked.
Bill perked up in interest, as a serious expression crossed his face.
Before Tiger could come back to his senses, Nathan had already snatched the katana from his hands.
With a deft swing, Tiger's left arm was sliced off at the shoulder.
