The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 564

It was quite the generous offer, indeed.

Upon hearing this, Fang glanced at Nolan, who looked utterly disinterested, and immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Your sincerity has been noted, but unfortunately, I believe in loyalty. Besides, if we take down your family, wouldn't everything you've promised become mine anyway? Hahaha! You people really refuse to face reality until it's staring you in the face, huh?

"Let me give you a piece of advice—go outside right now, kneel at the gate, and wait to welcome Mr. Greene. Maybe then you'll have a chance to come out of this alive. Otherwise, you'll have no choice but to die,"

Geoffrey immediately flew into a rage when he heard that Fang was completely unmoved and even had the audacity to say such things.

"Fang, are you truly intent on going against my family? Do you have any idea what kind of consequences you'll have to face? You're being utterly ignorant and foolish! Do you really think the Norbergs are afraid of you? If you want war, then so be it! But once it starts, calling it off will no longer be an option.

"At that point, the grand empire you've painstakingly built will be completely wiped out. You'll no longer be any kind of underworld boss, and even your life will be in grave danger. Fang, I strongly advise you to think this through!"

If persuasion failed, then threats were the next natural step.
