"Got it!" Damon bowed again and waved to the four men behind him. "Take Jon away!"
Four of Damon's people then walked towards Jon.
"Master Eight, please spare me..." Jon struggled to speak.
Just then, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the courtyard. Two middle-aged men led a group of people inside.
"Mr Malcom, Mr Jimenez, help..." Seeing them, Jon cried out for help like he had caught a lifeline.
"Hmm? Who did this?" asked Dwight Malcom, the second man in the Malcom family. Then he scanned the scene and stopped his gaze on Damon. "Master Eight, have you gone too far?"
In his opinion, only Damon would dare to touch Jon in this situation.
"Ignorant!" Damon snapped at him.
"Master Eight, do you think we won't touch you? Do you believe..." Zed Jimenez, the second man of the Jimenez family angrily rebuked him before being interrupted by Billy's words.
"It was both of you who brought Jon here?" asked Billy.
Dwight turned his head towards Billy and asked, "Who are you? Do you have any right to speak here?"
"So that's it?" Billy spoke again before turning to Bartholomew. "Mr Dawson, how many industries have they taken from the Dawson Family over these years?"
"I know!" Laura spoke up loudly without waiting for her grandfather's response.
"Our company, which produces cosmetics worth nearly two billion, was forcibly acquired by the Jimenez family for fifty million! Additionally, a pharmaceutical company worth nearly three billion was snatched away by the Malcom family for less than one billion!"
"I see." Billy nodded and looked at the two men. "In five years, with interest included and rounded up to a whole number, it should be just about double. Here's what we'll do, the Jimenez family will put up four billion and the Malcom family will put up six billion, and I'll let you both leave alive."
The Dawson family members all gasped in shock. Laura blinked her eyes and thought to herself, "This guy must have learned math from a gym teacher or something."
Dwight laughed out loud. "Kid, did the Dawson family hire you to be their comedian?"
"Mr Dawson, you haven't learned your lesson during these years. In this case, don't blame us. Tomorrow you'll get to rent a place, this estate is ours now!" Zed Jimenez looked at Lee and said.
"So you're not gonna repay the money?" asked Billy.
"Kid, do you wanna die? Get him, break his legs! Make him kneel." Dwight Malcom ordered his men.
A group of people behind him moved forwards to Billy.
"Two of you, let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to die, follow Mr Gardner's advice, or you will regret it!" Damon, along with his people, got in their way.
