Chapter 278 Wealth Or Health
“Spit it out! I don’t have all day,” ordered Allen impatiently.
“They seem unreasonable!” Jerry knew that he could never agree to the man’s terms. I have to get my leg broken and pay one hundred million? No way!
“Which condition are you referring to? The one hundred million? Or breaking your leg?” questioned Allen coldly.
Both, of course! That was what Jerry thought, but he dared not say it out loud. “Mr. Morsley, I really don’t have one hundred million to pay your friend. What do you say I scrape up ten million for him, and we’ll call it even?”
Even though Jerry always pretended as though he would inherit a fortune, he actually came from a slightly above average family in Yaleview.
The most he could gather was a few million, but not the amount Allen demanded.
“You must be kidding me. Do I look like someone you can bargain with? I told you one hundred million, and that’s how much I expect to see. If you’re even a cent short, I’ll break your other leg too.”
“But Mr. Morsley… I can’t. Even if I wanted to, I don’t have one hundred million just lying around.”
“Is that so? Okay, then come over here.” Allen gave Jerry a cold glance before beckoning to the man once again.
However, Jerry was so terror-struck that he completely froze.
“Get over here now!” Allen’s roar was enough to send shivers down Jerry’s spine.
“Mr. Morsley, my family-”
“I don’t give a da*n about your family! Do you think you’re Christian Walker? Well, let me tell you something. Even if Christian were the one who beat up my friend, I would show him no mercy,” interrupted Allen before Jerry could finish talking.
There was no one in Yaleview more well-known than Christian, yet Allen held nothing back when he undermined the member of a prominent family, for his family was just as influential, if not more.
In an instant, Jerry realized that he had made a fool of himself.
Never in his life had he ever been that humiliated.
“I’ll only say this one last time. Get over here right now!” Allen sounded so fierce that Jerry had no choice but to obey him.
“Mr. Morsley, I…” Slap! Before Jerry could say anything else, he received a hard slap on the face from Allen.
Immediately after the smacking, his cheek turned as red as a tomato.
Still, Jerry remained silent and dared not oppose Allen.
All he could do was rub his cheek to ease the pain and swallow his pride.
“Let me make myself clear. You’re to pay my friend one hundred million. If you’re even a cent short, I’ll break all your limbs. Do you understand? And if you’re still unable to pay then, I’ll go to your family. Do you know what will happen if they can’t pay? I’ll kill every last one of you.”
Even in the face of such a severe threat, Jerry dared not utter a single word of defiance because he knew that Allen was dead serious.
