Huzaifa felt a wave of fear wash over him as he eximed, “Mr. Wade, I’m sorry! I promise I’ll do what you asked! I promise everything!”


    Charlie frowned and responded, “What does it matter to me whether you agree or not? It wasn’t me who said the money had toe from you. That was your godfather who assigned you this task. If you agreed, then you also agreed to your godfather’s demands.”


    Huzaifa realized that Charlie was directly implicating his godfather, Zyaire, as the puppet master in this situation.


    He understood that the unpleasant job of securing the funds would eventually be handled by Zyaire, leaving Charlie seemingly uninvolved.


    As this thought crossed his mind, despair settled in, and hebeled Charlie a ruthless devil who would consume him and leave no trace behind.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Ten billion dors in ten years felt like a total drain on his resources!<fn704f> Readplete version only at fι?dnοvel</fn704f>


    With a grimace, Huzaifa pleaded with Charlie, “Mr. Wade, could you please reconsider? Ten billion dors over ten years is far too heavy a burden for me. I could manage five billion in that time frame, I assure you!”


    Charlie replied, “Huzaifa, I’ve already done my homework on your situation. Your assets total at least 60 to 70 billion Hong Kong dors, and your business is thriving. You’re also generating billions in profits. Therefore, contributing one billion dors a year to your godfather shouldn’t be an issue for you at all; you can still lead afortable life even with that amount deducted.”


    He paused momentarily before adding coldly, “So I suggest you avoid being stingy. Money is valuable, but when ites to fate, it’s just a trivial matter!”


    Huzaifa understood that Charlie was not going to make things easier for him.


    A debt of ten billion over ten years seemed inescapable.


    Otherwise, Zyaire, who was brimming with anger, could easily end his life without Charlie needing to lift a finger.


    At that moment, Charlie turned to Zyaire and stated, “Zyaire, from now on, you will serve as the fundraising manager for Wanlong Pce, responsible for securing funds. However, I advise you to ensure that no harmes to your son. If your subordinates disobey you or anyone threatens your life, I, Charlie, will not sit idly by!”


    Zyaire recognized that Charlie was extending his support.


    If he were to lose control over Hongmen or if Huzaifa hired someone to retaliate, he might find himself in serious trouble.


    Thanks to Charlie’s words, the members of Hongmen would be cautious around him, and Huzaifa wouldn’t dare to act against him.


    Of course, Charlie’s support was contingent upon Zyaire not making any mistakes.


    This also meant that he could not misuse Wanlong Pce to intimidate others.


    Nevertheless, that was sufficient for him.


    Having learned this valuable lesson, even if he became more prominent in the future, he wouldn’t dare to unt his power recklessly again.


    Meanwhile, Huzaifa was engulfed in despair. He realized that he could never afford to confront Zyaire openly.


    Previously, he might have considered spending heavily to hire someone to challenge Zyaire and relocate from Hong Kong Ind to protect most of his assets.


    However, now that Zyaire was tasked with raising funds for Wanlong Pce, he knew that the pce would not remain passive if he chose to fight back.


    In essence, Charlie had set up a tightly linked chain that had effectively trapped him.


    With no other options, he reluctantly agreed, saying, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade… I’ll do my utmost to secure the funds next time…”


    Charlie responded coldly, “What are you telling me this for? Did I ask you for money?”


    “Yes, yes, yes…” Huzaifa quickly pped himself, realizing his error: “I misspoke, please forgive me, Mr. Wade…”


    After that, he turned to Zyaire with respect and said, “Godfather… please trust that I will do everything in my power to raise the necessary funds… I won’t let you down…”
