This indicates that Charlie’s punishment should be assessed in rtion to Huzaifa.<fn8286> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? Find1Novel</fn8286>


    “If my guilt is less than Huzaifa’s, it’s straightforward. However, if my guilt exceeds Huzaifa’s, then mypensation must be at least equal to Huzaifa’s standard.”


    “That’s 10 billion over ten years… and it’s still in US dors. Fang Jiaxin has been by my side for many years, yet I never gave her 100 million dors. Now, this man named Charlie suddenly appears and demands such an exorbitant sum; it feels more painful than death…”


    “But… he is so powerful; how can I possibly confront him? I can’t even handle Zyaire from Hongmen, let alone Wanlong Pce!”


    As these thoughts raced through his mind, Liu Jiahui felt a wave of terror wash over him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In that moment, he was at a loss for how to respond to Charlie’s inquiry.


    Deep down, he understood that going back on his word would be a profound disrespect to Charlie’s deceased father. In all fairness, that sin would far outweigh Huzaifa’s transgressions against his son! It’s more than just double the offense!


    But how could he express that truth?


    If he said it outright, the financial implications would be staggering!


    Liu Jiahui, who had a strong affinity for money, broke down in tears, pleading with snot and tears: “Mr. Wade… Please, out ofpassion for my remorse, allow me a chance for redemption. I am willing to kneel at your father’s grave for three days and three nights to show my regret, and I hope he will understand and forgive my youthful mistakes…”


    After making his plea, he earnestly turned to Arman, stating, “I have held back Arman’s youth for 20 years. I am ready topensate him for two decades of earnings based on the highest sry of professional managers in Hong Kong!”


    When Charlie heard this, he burst intoughter: “Oh, Mr. Liu, you truly know how to calcte. The highest sry for professional managers in Hong Kong is around HK$100 million to HK$200 million a year. You just mentioned that two billion dors over 20 years would amount to less than a billion dors now. Are you continuing to lowball your own figures?”


    Liu Jiahui trembled in fear and quickly replied, “No, no, that’s not what I meant, Mr. Wade! I’m willing to kneel at your father’s grave for three days and three nights, and then pay two billion dors over twenty years!”


    Charlie looked at him, a mischievous smile on his face. He decided to frighten Liu Jiahui further, saying, “Let me propose a price of 20 billion US dors over ten years. If you agree, we can negotiate; if not, there’s no need to continue this discussion!”


    With Charlie’s words, Liu Jiahui was so startled that he fainted on the spot.


    Fang Jiaxin, who was nearby, rushed to support him, holding his head and shaking him while shouting hoarsely in his ear, “What’s wrong, Ka Fai? Wake up, Ka Fai! Don’t scare me like this…”


    As Fang Jiaxin screamed, Liu Jiahui regained consciousness. The first thing he did was look up at Charlie and cry, “Mr. Wade, you’re asking for my life! 20 billion in ten years, still in US dors—how can I possibly manage that…” He began to sob uncontrobly, saying, “It’s true that I, Liu Jiahui, have made mistakes, but you can’t take advantage of the situation and demand such a hefty sum! If you truly want that much money from me, it would be better to just kill me! If you kill me, my inheritance can still go to Mia and my other children, but if I’m forced to agree to your demands, they will end up with nothing, and their futures will be bleak!”


    Charlie’s expression turned cold as he replied nonchntly, “You know, I actually think that’s a pretty good idea!”


    Then, Charlie continued seriously, “To be honest, I’m now the head of the Wade family, and I also control Emgrand Group, Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, Yisu Shipping, and Wanlong Pce. I have no need for such a small amount of money. It would be meaningless for me to demand this from you!”


    “Moreover, if I were to take your money and let you off the hook, it would mean I, as a son, failed to uphold my father’s honor, trading his dignity for money. I would be too ashamed to face him in the afterlife!”


    “Thus, the best resolution here is for you to apologize with your life. Not only would this provide an exnation to my father, but it would also be a gesture to Uncle Arman. As you mentioned earlier, by dying, your assets would remain untouched, letting your children inherit everything. Everyone would walk away satisfied.”


    “Ah?!”


    Liu Jiahui was momentarily speechless.


    Initially, he had nned to adopt a desperate stance to force Charlie to lower his demands.


    But he never expected that Charlie might actually prefer this oue…


    If that were the case, wouldn’t the harsh words he had just spoken strike a chord with Charlie?


    As Liu Jiahui stood there, paralyzed by fear and uncertainty, Charlie turned to Abbas beside him.
