Upon witnessing Zyaire’s shift to a more aggressive demeanor, Liu Jiahui realized that trying to reason with him would be futile.


    He took a deep breath to calm himself and asked, “Mr. Zyaire, how do you propose we resolve this situation? Please, just give me a clear answer.”<fnadfc> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find~novel</fnadfc>


    Zyaire nced at Liu Jiahui, then at Mia, before sneering and stating, “Mr. Liu, don’t think I’m being unreasonable. I’m aware that your daughter didn’t harm any of my Hongmen members or hurt my godson. However, you can take her home if you’re willing to pay ten million dors.”


    “Ten million dors?!” Liu Jiahui eximed, sounding as if he had been struck. “Are you serious, Mr. Zyaire? You yourself said my daughter did nothing wrong, and now you want ten million for her release? That’s outrageous!”


    Zyaire scoffed in response, “What’s the issue? Ten million should be a small amount for someone like you, Mr. Liu. But for me, Zyaire, it’s a different story. My Hongmen family depends on this money; without it, many will go hungry, and some may resort to desperate measures that people like you would rather not witness. You think it’s just about you and me? I have a responsibility to my entire Hongmenmunity!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Zyaire, an experienced figure, was well-versed in the art of intimidation.


    Liu Jiahui was no fool, either.


    He understood that Zyaire was using the Hongmen as leverage against him.


    Despite his wealth and influence, Liu Jiahui knew that individuals who are desperate for money can be far more dangerous than those who are simply powerful.


    With the stakes high, he realized that if Zyaire had a mary hold over the situation, getting his daughter back mighte at a steep price, possibly involving violence.


    With a determined expression, Liu Jiahui dered, “Mr. Zyaire, let’s cut to the chase. Ten million is too steep. I’m willing to offer you two million, and we’ll consider this incident resolved. What do you say?”


    “Two million?” Zyaire retorted with disdain, “Do I look like a beggar to you, Mr. Liu?!”


    Seated beside Mia, Liu Jiahui calmly replied, “If two million isn’t sufficient, then I’m willing to let you, Mr. Zyaire, take your anger out today. You can act freely to relieve your frustration. Just know that I won’t go down without a fight.”


    Though Liu Jiahui often wore a friendly smile, he was no stranger to streetwise tactics.


    He understood that if he showed vulnerability today, Zyaire would see him as an easy target for future demands.


    He recognized that somepromise was inevitable, but he also needed to ensure that Zyaire didn’t leavepletely satisfied; he had to convey that he could be formidable as well.


    To Zyaire’s surprise, Liu Jiahui, a billionaire, was willing to stand his ground.


    Liu’s boldness, much like a pig that refuses to be scalded, made Zyaire reconsider his approach.


    As the leader of Hongmen, Zyaire was aware that he couldn’t act recklessly against Liu Jiahui.


    Given that the Li family had moved to the UK, Liu Jiahui was nearly the wealthiest individual on Hong Kong Ind.


    If Zyaire were to harm Liu today, word would spread quickly, and he would face bacsh from all sides, including the Hong Kong police, who would undoubtedly respond to public pressure.


    Thus, he was cautious not to take any drastic action against Liu Jiahui.


    With a slight softening in his demeanor, Zyaire forced a smile and said, “Mr. Liu, I admire your courage; it’smendable!”


    Liu Jiahui gave a curt response, “Mr. Zyaire, whether we reach an agreement or not, I need a clear answer from you.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
