“Will it really happen soon?!”


    Walter murmured to himself in disbelief.


    Confusion washed over him as he thought, “What on earth does Charlie Wade mean by ‘soon’? This is just baffling. It’s exactly what my mother despises about the Chinese—they speak in such vague terms,”<fneabe> Updates are released by FindN0vel</fneabe>


    He couldn’t grasp Charlie’s intentions.


    Charlie then turned to Isaac Cameron and said, “Isaac, please find a way to get me some mercury dichloride; I have a use for it.” The moment Charlie uttered those words, Walter felt as if he had been struck by lightning!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “What?! Why does Wade want mercury dichloride?!”


    “And what does he need dialysis equipment for?!”


    “Wait! He just asked someone to prepare dialysis equipment. What did he mean by ‘there will be’? What is he talking about?”


    “Now he’s asking for mercury dichloride too. Does he want me to ingest it?!”


    This horrifying thought sent Walter spiraling into despair.


    He fell to his knees and crawled toward Charlie, pleading, “Master Wade, please don’t toy with me. If you’re not happy with the $50 million, I can offer you an extra $100 million. Just spare my life!”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively, his expression serious. “Walter, there’s an old Chinese saying: ‘To understand human nature, one must also understand the human body.’”


    “You, as an American, might not know much about our culture. But this could be your chance to experience it firsthand,” he added.


    Walter, desperate and panicked, cried out, “I don’t want to experience anything! Please, Master Wade, just give me a chance to live. I’ll pay whatever you ask. I just don’t want to be punished. I’m still young!”


    Charlie chuckled lightly, “Then congrattions! It seems you’re fortunate to be facing kidney failure at such a young age. But don’t worry, I’ll ensure you live—I’ll have you attached to dialysis around the clock. Rest assured, you won’t die.” He continued coldly, “Compared to the things you’ve done, I’m being quite merciful.”


    Walter, trembling with fear, pleaded, “Master Wade, I beg you to forgive me! Let me contact my dad. I’ll ask him how much he can give you if he needs to pay more!”


    Charlie shook his head calmly, “No need to daydream. From this moment on, you willpletely vanish from his life. He won’t find any trace of you. Your future is to remain in a kennel, confined to a cage, eating when you’re fed, drinking when you’re given water, and undergoing dialysis whenever required!”


    Charlie added, “And you can be assured,pared to your underhanded tactics, I’m far more lenient. You only know how to poison others, with no regard for their treatment, nor how long they may survive. You’ve acted like a bandit—killing and burying without remorse!”


    “But my mother raised me to be civilized. We do things the civilized way: if you control the killing, you must also control the burial. Not only will I provide you with treatment, but I’ll also ensure you have food and shelter. Most importantly, I guarantee you won’t die for at least ten years!”


    As Walter absorbed Charlie’s words, he felt utterly shattered.


    Having lived freely for over 20 years, despite causing harm to many, he had never faced suffering himself. Now, Charlie hadid out his bleak future: a life confined in a dark cage, reliant on dialysis. To him, this punishment felt far worse than hell itself. He had never imagined that Charlie could be so ruthless.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
