Chapter 689: Chapter 689 Everyone is Friends_1

“Hiss!”

The people in the room couldn’t help but gasp when they heard Julius Reed’s ‘friend price’.

A few dozen dollars for an ashtray, and he’s asking for twenty billion?

In US Dollar?

This isn’t just robbery; it’s audacity at another level.

The new era’s top extortion king seems to be none other than Julius Reed.

...

“Mr. Reed, you really have a way with jokes.”

Jay King was taken aback for a moment, then said with a laugh, “We’re the ones at fault today for breaking your table and frightening Miss Huntington.”

He glanced at Chopter and asked aloud, “How about we compensate with one million US dollars?”

It’s a small price to pay for avoiding disaster.

It’s their own fault for hitting a snag.

After all,

one million US dollars to the Roosevelt family

isn’t even pocket change.

“Sorry, I said twenty billion US dollars, and that’s twenty billion US dollars!”

Julius Reed said coldly, “This is a notification, not a discussion.”

“Don’t push it too far!”

Jay King laughed loudly, pointing at Julius Reed, “Do you think you can openly threaten us in Hua Xia? Fine! I’m calling the police right now and accusing you of illegal detention!”

After that, he pulled out his phone from his chest.

“King Kong, show me your dart-box technique.”

Julius Reed said cheerfully.

Whoosh!

The moment Jay King took out his phone, King Kong shot out a dart box!

Crack!

The dart, with tremendous force, shattered the phone screen!

The significant impact staggered Jay King backward a few steps.

Once more, silence returned to the meeting room.

Chopter’s legs went weak, and his lips had already turned pale.

And although Jay King was used to big scenes, at that moment, he also seemed a bit frightened!

Just then!

Just a moment ago!

The dart had nearly brushed past his body!

Even.

He had heard the sound of the dart whizzing past his ear.

Even for someone as seasoned in killing as him, the moment was heart-stopping.

“You dare to use a dart box…”

Jay King said with a grave voice.

Even his hand still maintained the position of holding the phone.

Only the phone had already shattered on the ground.

“It wasn’t me who used the dart box.”

Julius Reed shrugged his shoulders, sat back down, and looked at Jay King, whose face had turned dark, “Honestly, I’ve read faces before. You’ve got darkness over your brow; you’re facing a bloody disaster!”

“Then please tell me…”

Jay King took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he asked, “How do I avoid this disaster?”

“Lose wealth to avoid misfortune!”

After Julius Reed finished speaking, Itai Huntington behind him couldn’t help but let out a burst of laughter.

How could someone be so shameless!

“Julius Reed!”

Jay King squinted his eyes, speaking fiercely, “We are people of the Roosevelt family, don’t you consider the consequences at all? If you dare to kill someone, I guarantee the Roosevelt family will make sure you never live in peace!”

The Roosevelt family, being one of the major conglomerates in the Americas, wields enormous influence worldwide.

To speak bluntly, if the Roosevelt consortium were really to take action, even the four giant families of Jing City would have to be wary.

“The Roosevelt family?” Julius Reed raised his eyebrows and twirled his finger, “Mr. Chopter is the son of the Roosevelt family; of course, we wouldn’t trouble him. But killing one of the bodyguards shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Upon hearing this, Chopter immediately slumped into his chair.

If Jay King were to die, he wouldn’t stand a chance of surviving either!

His grandmother would use the most brutal methods to have him executed!

“You want to kill me?”

Jay King laughed out loud, “Julius Reed, murder is paid for with one’s life! If you kill me, Mr. Chopter will surely report everything once he gets back! I guess you’re going to spend the rest of your life in prison, right?”

Killing someone behind the scenes is very different from doing it openly.

“Is that so?”

Julius Reed turned around, looking at the bodyguards, “Did you hear what he said? Put away your dart boxes! If anyone accidentally fires and kills this protective gentleman here, I’ll personally send you to court!”

He had been doing fine until he spoke, which prompted the bodyguards, who had originally put away their hidden weapon boxes, to pull them out again.

They pressed them against Jay King’s head.

“You’re not my boss, why should my brothers listen to you!”

One of the bodyguards directly disengaged the safety and looked at Julius Reed, “You don’t want me to kill him, but I damn well want to!”

Cold sweat suddenly streamed down Jay King’s forehead.

No matter how calm and composed he had been before.

At that moment, his heartbeat accelerated.

“Ah!”

Julius Reed stood up, looking helplessly at Jay King, “I’m leaving now. Next year, this time, I’ll press a stack of joss paper on your grave.”

“Wait!”

Jay King closed his eyes and bit his lip hard.

“We will pay the money… ”

“But Chopter hasn’t said anything yet…”

“I’ll pay! Pay!”

Chopter hurriedly stood up.

When life was at stake, money was inconsequential.

“But… there was no glass during the Lamilid Dynasty; isn’t this extortion?”

“That’s just because archaeology hasn’t found it yet, the rarer it gets, the more prestigious your ashtray appears…”

Jay King’s eyes were tightly shut, and his lips were oozing blood.

“Forget it, I’m afraid others will say I extorted you,” Julius Reed turned to leave.

“This is… completely voluntary! I also have to thank Mr. Reed for being magnanimous, for not holding this against us…”

With each word Jay King spoke, his heart convulsed.

“The money… the money has been transferred to your company’s account…”

Just then, Chopter, trembling, showed his phone to Itai Huntington, displaying the transaction record.

After checking, Itai Huntington nodded towards Julius Reed.

“Let’s do this. I have one final request.”

Julius Reed walked up to Jay King and glanced at Chopter, “Chopter, your bodyguard is too hot-headed. He nearly scared Miss Huntington just now. I hope you can slap him hard, to teach him a lesson.”

“No…”

Chopter hurriedly waved his hands, “Mr. Reed, we’ve paid the money, could you… maybe not make things more difficult…”

“A scion of the illustrious Roosevelt family is scared stiff by a bodyguard; I seriously doubt if you’re a true Roosevelt!” Julius Reed’s face darkened, touching his nose, “Surely you aren’t an imposter?”

“Hit him!”

Jay King’s brow was nearly knotted with tension.

The 2 billion US dollars had been spent, and today he had completely accepted defeat!

“Alright…”

Chopter swallowed hard, his hands shaking almost like a sieve.

Slap an archangel?

Hiss…

“Scared like this to hit a disobedient bodyguard?”

Julius Reed smiled faintly, “Just to be clear, if the slap isn’t loud enough, you’ll have to slap him again!”

“This…” Chopter’s raised hand was still shaking.

“Sir, it was my rashness. Please punish me severely!”

Jay King emphasized the word “severely” especially hard!

“Hiss!”

Chopter took a deep breath and, clenching his teeth, delivered a slap!

Smack!

The slap carried a full force!

Leaving a distinct handprint on Jay King’s face.

“Show our guests out!”

Julius Reed gestured, and the bodyguards immediately put away their weapon boxes.

“We are all friends, why go through such trouble?”

He gently patted Jay King’s shoulder, “Next time, I’ll treat you to a drink.”

“Thank you.”

Jay King looked at his fists, covered in wounds, then turned and walked away briskly.

Chopter followed closely behind him.

Hum!

Just then, Julius Reed’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

When he took it out, there was a message.

The message was from Aron Jackson, and it contained just four words.

“Elwood Thorneycroft has escaped.”
