Porter's sudden ruthless words made Tony tremble out of shock and fear.
He really did not expect that Porter would be so relentless that he would want to make his whole family go completely extinct just because he had not said the right words.
Moreover, Tony did not doubt Porter's attitude in the slightest. After all, this man was the lord of Ten Thousand Armies, and he would not be carelessly saying these words in the presence of so many soldiers as well as the members of the Wade family.
What's more, all of Tony's information about his identity and even his family's information was all recorded in detail in the Wade family's genealogy. He would not even be able to run away.
As he thought of this, he immediately said in incomparable horror, "Lord Waldron, I'm willing to cooperate! I will give up half of my family’s assets! Please be merciful...”
Porter snorted coldly and questioned him, "Why? You're afraid now? Didn’t you say that your family's assets are all your hard-earned money? I really thought that you were courageous enough to die in order to defend your assets!”
Tony choked up and said, "I was just muddle-headed
and confused just now. Lord Waldron, please do not hold it against me. In fact, money is just something outside the body. Even if I am confused, this truth is still clear to me..."
Porter had a straight expression on his face as he said, "Since you understand it now, I will give you another chance. If you cooperate actively and grasp hold of this opportunity, Ten Thousand Armies will not pursue this any longer. From now on, we will mind our own respective businesses. However, if you dare t o play any petty tricks with me, I will not be merciful either!"
They had originally thought that they would definitely be able to conceal the actual situation of their family’s assets to a certain extent. They thought that if their assets were ten billion dollars, they would definitely b e able to lie and claim that they only had two or three billion dollars so that they could just settle things by taking out a billion dollars.
However, according to Porter's statement, even if they were to pay more than a billion dollars, Ten Thousand Armies would demand that they pay three times the compensation if the financial auditors from Ten Thousand Armies assessed the true size of their family's assets and determined that they had paid three billion dollars lesser. In that case, the compensation alone would cost them ten billion dollars in itself!
At this time, Tony said with much trepidation, "Lord Waldron... My family's net worth is about eight billion dollars. However, the cash that I have on hand and can gather will only add up to about two billion dollars. How should I handle this situation, then?"
Porter said coldly, "If that is the case, you should convert all of your stocks into cash first. After that, you should transfer the two billion dollars to Ten Thousand Armies' designated bank account. When you go back, you should sell some of your other assets immediately to pay up for the remaining two billion dollars!"
