The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3324

Jeremiah also believed that Porter was not just talking big since he had already waited twenty years for this day to come.

However, the conditions raised by Porter were indeed too harsh.

This was not a choice between life or death. Instead, this was a choice between prolonging one's feeble existence or an unhurried death.

If Jeremiah were to accept Porter’s conditions, the members of the Wade family would definitely be able t o preserve their lives.

However, all the dignity of the Wade family would then cease to exist.

And as long as the members of the Wade family were still alive, they would end up being the laughingstock o f others, and they would also be mocked and ridiculed even after their deaths.

So, as a result, Jeremiah was at a loss because he was being forced to make the most difficult decision in his life.

He suddenly did not know what to do.

As for the members of the Wade family behind him, all of them were also shocked and terrified at this time.

The vast majority of the Wade family did not have any real strength of character at all. They only had money and status to back them up and so, they had always existed in the depths of their own sense of superiority.

Therefore, when they were faced with the threat of death at this moment, they only wanted to live.

Whether they would be losing their image or reputation or not didn't matter to them as long as they could survive.

If things really could not work out, they would simply leave Oskia with the rest of their remaining assets and head to a place where no one knew them so that they could then live the rest of their lives in peace.

It would definitely be better for them this way as compared to dying in vain under the assassination of Ten Thousand Armies.

“Finally, I cannot accept the condition where I will have to give him half of my family's assets!"

"As I've said just now, I am willing to take out ten billion Oskian dollars as compensation to your lord, and if he is not satisfied, I am willing to convert the Oskian dollars to US dollars instead. However, that is already the maximum limit that I can accept!" 2

Hunter really did not expect that Jeremiah would show resistance toward every condition proposed by their lord. So, he had a sinister look on his face as he asked, "Old man, do you think that I came over here to negotiate with you today? I simply came here to convey our lord's instructions to you! You do not have any right to bargain!"

When Jeremiah heard these words, he had the expression on his face as if he was sacrificing himself fervently to the cause as he said coldly, "If there is no room for bargaining, there is nothing for us to talk about anymore. If your lord is not afraid of triggering a public outrage, he can come and kill me at the Wade family old mansion, then. Anyway, I am already old, and it would not be a shame for me to die now." 2

Charlie's uncle, Clayton, was anxious when he heard this. He said in a low voice, "Dad! You cannot be so impulsive! Ten Thousand Armies is extremely strong, and all of them are top masters. They can kill us even without blinking an eye... Even the chief bodyguard could not withstand one blow from them, not to mention ordinary people like us... You might already b e old, but Felix, Hugh, and the others are all still young!” 4

Jeremiah stared at him and asked coldly, "What, then? As the eldest son of the Wade family, are you expecting me to agree to their conditions?!’’ 6
