Caesar, who had been observing from the side, stepped forward and delivered a harsh p to Teresa Fay’s face.


    Before Teresa Fay could even gather her thoughts after the strike, Caesar seized her by the hair and dragged her toward Lloyd. He forcefully kicked her down beside him and coldly remarked, “You think you’re so clever, huh? Trying to y the moral high ground with Master Wade? Master Wade is a true powerhouse! Normally, I don’t resort to violence against women, but you? I won’t hold back! I’m going to ruin your pretty face right now!”


    Fear washed over Teresa Fay, leaving her speechless. She had intended to manipte Charlie by emphasizing her femininity, believing it would shield her from any retaliation.


    However, she was taken aback when not only did Charlie refrain from intervening, but Caesar also showed no signs of being swayed by her tactics. At that moment, Caesar turned to Charlie and addressed him with respect: “Master Wade, how would you like me to deal with these two scoundrels? Please give your orders!”


    Charlie replied coolly, “Let’s take this one at a time. First, tell me how much they owe me.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Realizing the gravity of the situation, Lloyd understood that things were not looking good for him. He needed to plead for Charlie’s mercy before it was toote.


    He quickly said, “Master Wade, I have over 3.7 million in deposits. I’ll give you everyst cent, just please let me off this time…”


    Teresa Fay chimed in urgently, “Mr. Wade, I have more than 700,000 in deposits as well, and I’m willing to pay it all. Please, just spare me…”


    Charlie gestured dismissively, “Together, you two are still short of 5 million. That’s quite a gap, don’t you think? You’ve wasted several minutes of my time, and the potential losses are already exceeding 20 million. I suggest youe up with the remaining amount quickly; the longer you wait, the heavier your debt will be.”


    Upon hearing this, Lloyd broke down, “Master Wade… I truly don’t have that much money. You’ve already stripped me bare; there’s no way I cane up with 20 million. Please, just show some mercy…”


    Teresa Fay echoed his desperation, “Yes, Mr. Wade, I can’t possibly gather that much… My 700,000 is everything I have!”


    Charlie smiled, “When you were tormenting those girls, didn’t they beg for mercy? Did you ever show them any?” The two fell silent, realizing the hypocrisy of their past actions.


    In the past, they had ruthlessly disregarded the pleas of others, even going as far as forcing women under contract to serve them for financial gain. They had never cared about anyone’s suffering.


    As they remained quiet, Charlie sneered and continued, “The debt you owe me exceeds 20 million, which is far beyond what you can realistically repay. If you can’t meet that amount, you’ll have to find alternative means.”


    Lloyd, trembling, asked, “Master Wade, what do you mean by ‘find alternative means’?”


    Charlie replied with a smirk, “They say you can spend money to avert disaster, but if you don’t pay up, you’ll have to face the consequences!”


    Suddenly, Caesar realized what Charlie was implying!


    In previous encounters with Marcus Lloyd, his father, and other members of the Webb family, Charlie had enjoyed marking his enemies in a memorable way.


    Without hesitation, Caesar eximed, “Master Wade! Just tell me what you want me to engrave on their foreheads; I have a knife ready!”<fn48ea> For original chapters go to FιndNovel</fn48ea>
