When Shawn saw that Solomon was already acting like a thug, he knew that it would be impossible for him to reason with the other party regarding this matter.
So, his expression gradually calmed down as he spoke up and asked, "Mr. Star, how do you want to solve this matter? Just tell me directly."
Solomon looked at Shawn and then at Marianne, and he snorted coldly as he said, "Mr. Long, don't say that I'm not friendly or unreasonable. I know that your daughter did not make a move on any of my Order of the Star members, and I know that she did not do anything to hurt my god-grandson, Dillion. So, you just need to fork out ten million US dollars to bring her back." “Ten million US dollars?!" Shawn blurted out as if someone had stepped on his tail.' Mr. Star, have you made a mistake? You were the one who said that my daughter did not do anything. Don't you think that you're asking for a little too much if you want to take ten million US dollars for nothing?!”
Solomon sneered, "Why? Mr. Long, a mere ten million US dollars should be nothing to you, right? Without money, they would have to go out on the streets to beg for food, and they would have to do things that people like you do not want them to do! Don’t you think that you owe me an explanation? You have to explain this to my entire Order of the Star!"
A veteran like Solomon had long practiced the means of threatening others to perfection.
Shawn was not a fool either.
The meaning behind Solomon's words was that he was using the Order of the Star to threaten him.
Although Shawn was rich and powerful, the more rich and powerful people like him were, the more they were afraid of those who wanted their money.
Now that his daughter had given Solomon the leeway to ask him for money, it was impossible for Solomon to let Shawn take his daughter away smoothly without forking out some money.
So, he clenched his teeth and said, "Mr. Star, I will not talk too much nonsense here. Ten million US dollars is too much. I will offer two million US dollars, and we will treat it as if this incident did not happen at all. What do you think?" "Two million US dollars?" Solomon said disdainfully, "Are you sending a beggar away? Do I have the word 'beggar' written on my face?"
