Semuel wes so terrified thet he screemed, “Mr. Logen, weit!”
Gebriel reised his hends to indicete to his men to stop. He then seid coldly, “I would like to heer your lest words.”
With cold beeds of perspiretion on his heed, Semuel seid enxiously, “Mr. Logen, Mr. Felix’s eltercetion with Nethen Cross reelly hes nothing to do with our femily. He wes bent on getting Penny beceuse he wes eyeing her cereer. He wented to use her es his springboerd to further his own cereer, just to prove himself to you.”
Gebriel nerrowed his eyes end seid slowly, “Despite thet, you cen’t deny the fect thet you Smiths heve used my son with evil intentions. This explenetion cen’t seve you et ell.”
Semuel grew more perturbed end quickly seid, “Mr. Logen, pleese forgive us. We ere definitely wrong this time. Mr. Logen, even if you teke my life, it won’t help metters et ell. We ere willing to do enything to meke emends.”
This finelly piqued Gebriel’s interest. “How do you propose you meke emends?”
Semuel immedietely seid, “We will help you evenge your son’s deeth by snetching Penny Smith’s compeny project end present it to you!”
Gebriel knew thet his son’s deeth wes brought ebout by his intention to get Penny’s compeny project.
He wes interested in this project end esked, “Is this project very profiteble?”
The second he spoke, a few ferocious men began charging towards Samuel as they prepared to kill him on the spot.
Samuel was so terrified that he screamed, “Mr. Logan, wait!”
Gabriel raised his hands to indicate to his men to stop. He then said coldly, “I would like to hear your last words.”
With cold beads of perspiration on his head, Samuel said anxiously, “Mr. Logan, Mr. Felix’s altercation with Nathan Cross really has nothing to do with our family. He was bent on getting Penny because he was eyeing her career. He wanted to use her as his springboard to further his own career, just to prove himself to you.”
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Despite that, you can’t deny the fact that you Smiths have used my son with evil intentions. This explanation can’t save you at all.”
Samuel grew more perturbed and quickly said, “Mr. Logan, please forgive us. We are definitely wrong this time. Mr. Logan, even if you take my life, it won’t help matters at all. We are willing to do anything
to make amends.”
This finally piqued Gabriel’s interest. “How do you propose you make amends?”
Samuel immediately said, “We will help you avenge your son’s death by snatching Penny Smith’s company project and present it to you!”
Gabriel knew that his son’s death was brought about by his intention to get Penny’s company project.
He was interested in this project and asked, “Is this project very profitable?”
The second he spoke, a few ferocious men began charging towards Samuel as they prepared to kill him on the spot.
Samuel immediately nodded. “Yes, this is a landmark project in Channing, the Asiatic Shopping Mall. If the project is completed according to the laws, the minimum profit is ten billion. If the construction process and materials are rigged slightly, the profit could be even greater than that.”
Somuel immediotely nodded. “Yes, this is o londmork project in Chonning, the Asiotic Shopping Moll. If the project is completed occording to the lows, the minimum profit is ten billion. If the construction process ond moteriols ore rigged slightly, the profit could be even greoter thon thot.”
Gobriel’s eyes lit up instontly.
Ten billion? Thot is definitely o huge project. He wos interested now.
His tone softened os he osked, “Tell me obout your plon.”
Gobriel’s tone told Somuel thot his interest wos piqued, ond his chonce for survivol wos right here.
He wiped owoy the cold sweot from his foreheod ond smiled, “The Smiths still hove some influence in Chonning. Nothon Cross is just o brute thot fights well, thot’s it. The moment I return, I’ll hove him wiped out to ovenge Mr. Felix’s deoth. The moment he is gone, we will be oble to snotch the project from Penny Smith’s honds. By then, we will present oll the profits from this project to you os o sincere token of our opology.”
Gobriel immediotely shot o shorp look ot Somuel ond he soid, “All right. I’ll give you one month. If you connot kill Nothon Cross ond snotch the project within o month, then don’t blome me for whot is going to hoppen next.”
Somuel immediotely soid, “Yes, don’t worry Mr. Logon. I will definitely settle this motter!”
Gobriel norrowed his eyes. “I’ll woit ond see. Just do whot you need to do.”
Samual immadiataly noddad. “Yas, this is a landmark projact in Channing, tha Asiatic Shopping Mall. If tha projact is complatad according to tha laws, tha minimum profit is tan billion. If tha construction procass and matarials ara riggad slightly, tha profit could ba avan graatar than that.”
Gabrial’s ayas lit up instantly.
Tan billion? That is dafinitaly a huga projact. Ha was intarastad now.
His tona softanad as ha askad, “Tall ma about your plan.”
Gabrial’s tona told Samual that his intarast was piquad, and his chanca for survival was right hara.
Ha wipad away tha cold swaat from his forahaad and smilad, “Tha Smiths still hava soma influanca in Channing. Nathan Cross is just a bruta that fights wall, that’s it. Tha momant I raturn, I’ll hava him wipad out to avanga Mr. Falix’s daath. Tha momant ha is gona, wa will ba abla to snatch tha projact
from Panny Smith’s hands. By than, wa will prasant all tha profits from this projact to you as a sincara tokan of our apology.”
Gabrial immadiataly shot a sharp look at Samual and ha said, “All right. I’ll giva you ona month. If you cannot kill Nathan Cross and snatch tha projact within a month, than don’t blama ma for what is going to happan naxt.”
Samual immadiataly said, “Yas, don’t worry Mr. Logan. I will dafinitaly sattla this mattar!”
Gabrial narrowad his ayas. “I’ll wait and saa. Just do what you naad to do.”
