Tony choked up and said, "Lord Waldron, I will not hide this from you, but many of our industries are actually long-term investments. We have invested in some of our projects for many years now, and we are finally beginning to see returns after investing a lot of funds. If we were to sell our investments at this time, i t would be tantamount to killing the entire business just to get our hands on the money at the moment. It would be a very heavy loss for us..."
Tony's words resonated with the other members of the Wade family’s collateral families.
They were already all willing to take out half of their assets at this point, but if they were to kill off their business and investments to get the money, the loss that they suffered would definitely be even greater than them taking out half of their assets.
Porter also could not make up his mind and decide at this time. If it was only to complete the task that Charlie had given to him, Porter would not even be bothered about the consequences at all. So what if these people would have to kill off their businesses and investments in order to hand over half of their assets to him?
However, Porter still did not know what Charlie's attitude toward these people was and so, he could not come to a decision. Therefore, he said, "You should
give us a clear account of the situation of your assets first. If the cash that you have on hand is less than half of your assets, pay us the cash payment first. We will then give you a solution for the remaining part of the payment later."
Everyone had no choice but to agree to it.
After that, the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies began to register these members of the Wade family's collateral families in batches. They asked about each person's specific assets as well as the situation of their cash on hand. After the registration was completed, they were then asked to pay all the cash that they had first.
Just as this part of the funds was starting to be transferred into Ten Thousand Armies' bank account, the Concorde that Charlie was on finally landed at Eastcliff Airport.
