Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations-Chapter 264 -

At that moment the atmosphere in the York family’s living room shifted from tense to outright chaotic as ten men from the Silver family entered. Their arrival was unexpected, and their presence sent ripples of fear through everyone present.

They couldn’t believe what they were saying and how everything has gotten this far in minutes.

The sharp suits and cold, calculating expressions on their faces made it clear they weren’t here for pleasantries.

"What is the meaning of this?" Serenity’s grandmother demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and apprehension.

At that moment the leader of the group stepped forward, his tone devoid of emotion.

"We’re here to settle the debt the York family owes the Silver family. Since the godly investor has withdrawn from your affairs, your family’s financial situation has deteriorated, the godly investor planned to clear off your family debt with the investment, but with your family recent development that won’t be possible again. The York family is insolvent."

His words cut through the room like a blade. The York family erupted into a cacophony of panicked voices.

"Debt? What debt?" Serenity’s uncle shouted, his face pale as he glanced nervously at the grandmother.

Immediately another voice chimed in, "We thought we had more time! We just need—"

"You’ve had more than enough time," the Silver family representative interrupted sharply. "And since it’s clear you have no means to pay the debt in cash, we will be taking Serenity."

Upon hearing what the man just said.

The room fell silent. Serenity, standing by the doorway, froze in shock.

"Taking me?" she echoed, her voice barely above a whisper.

The York family broke into chaos again, shouting over one another. "This is outrageous!" Serenity’s uncle barked.

"You can’t just take her like she’s some kind of—"

"You should’ve thought about this before signing contracts with terms you couldn’t fulfill," the man from the Silver family said coldly.

"We aren’t in the business of charity. Serenity will be collateral until the debt is resolved."

At that moment Ethan, who had been observing quietly from a corner, narrowed his eyes.

He couldn’t believe that would decided use such tricks.

And everything they have done with the york and serenity they still has the guts to utter nonsense all in the name of Collateral? He clenched his jaw, his mind racing. He had expected the York family’s downfall to be messy and learn their mistakes, but this was another level entirely.

The grandmother banged her fist on the armrest of her wheelchair, her voice breaking through the chaos. "Enough! Everyone, enough!" Her gaze burned with fury as she turned to the men. "You dare come into my house and make such demands?"

"Dare?" the representative sneered. "With everything collapsing around you, this family won’t last a week without begging on the streets. You’ve burned every bridge, and now the Silver family will collect what is us Until it’s too late."

The weight of his words settled over the room. Serenity looked around at her panicking family, her hands trembling. For a moment, it seemed like there was no way out.

At that moment the Silver family’s leader smirked as he motioned for his men to advance.

"Once we’re done taking Serenity," he announced coldly, "we’ll be back for more of you. Everyone in this house will pay until the debt is cleared."

Hearing what the man just said.

Still Serenity stood frozen, her face pale and her hands trembling. The leader gave a slight nod, and the men behind him stepped forward with predatory precision.

"Take her," the boss commanded.

Without wasting anymore time the men approached Serenity, their cold, calculating eyes locked on her. However Just as they were about to seize her, Ethan stepped forward, his expression calm but his eyes blazing with an intensity that stopped them in their tracks.

Immediately he positioned himself squarely between Serenity and the advancing men, his posture unyielding.

"Nobody touches her," Ethan said, his voice low and dangerous, "unless they go through me first."

Ethan words made the room fell silent, tension crackling like static electricity. The Silver men hesitated, their confident strides faltering at Ethan’s unexpected defiance.

The York family, however, was far less restrained.

Immediately Serenity’s uncle exploded in anger.

"Ethan, get out of the way! Who do you think you are to interfere? Let them take her—at least she can pay for some of this mess! and she created some of the mess herself."

"You’re making things worse for everyone!" another family member shouted.

"Just let them handle it!"

"You think you’re a hero? You’re nothing but a nuisance!" Serenity’s grandmother hissed, her voice sharp with frustration.

"Stand down, boy, and let them do what they came here for!"

However Ethan didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look at the York family as they hurled their insults and accusations.

His focus remained on the Silver men, who were now exchanging uncertain glances.

Without being told knew they could defeat him so easily.

However his calm defiance carried an unmistakable weight, as if daring them to test him.

Serenity, standing just behind him, finally found her voice.

"Ethan… you don’t have to do this."

Ethan turned his head slightly, just enough to meet her eyes. "I do," he said simply. "You’re not collateral for anyone’s mistakes."

The room erupted again, the York family’s insults growing louder and more venomous, but Ethan remained a fortress, immovable and unshaken. The Silver family boss stepped forward, his smirk faltering as he tried to gauge the man standing before him.

"And who are you," the boss asked, his voice laced with condescension, "to stand in our way?"

However Ethan’s gaze didn’t waver. "Someone you don’t want to test," he replied, his tone cold and final.

Hearing what Ethan just said.

The Silver men paused, their confidence visibly shaken, as the room waited to see what would happen next.

At that moment The York family’s grandmother slammed her hand on the arm of her wheelchair, her voice echoing through the room like a thunderclap.

"Don’t just take Serenity!" she bellowed, her eyes blazing with a mix of rage and desperation.

"Take her uncle and those two useless fools as well!" She pointed at two family members who had been standing silently, hoping to avoid notice.
