The video will soon be shared on multiple video tforms! When the police officer heard this, he awkwardly cleared his throat and addressed Antonio, saying, “You witnessed everything that transpired today. First and foremost, it’s essential to address this situation correctly. Secondly, whoever brandished the gun needs to apany me for questioning.”


    Antonio was seething with anger.


    He could never have anticipated being extorted and manipted right outside his own home.


    What added to his frustration was that he had yet to take any action.


    At that moment, one of his trusted associates approached him and whispered, “Boss, our esteemed guest will be arriving shortly.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Antonio felt a wave of anxiety wash over him.


    He didn’t want the VIP to witness him embroiled in a dispute at his doorstep.


    What made matters worse was that his daughter had hit someone with a car, and he was unwilling to deal with the embarrassment ofpensation.


    In a moment of desperation, he nodded, pulled his subordinate closer, drew his pistol from his waist, and tossed it onto the ground. He then pushed the subordinate towards the police and said, “Take him away.” After that,


    he turned to Charlie and said, “You want $100,000, right? Just wait—I’ll have someone get it for you right now.” The policeman, taken aback, looked at Charlie and eximed, “You want $100,000 from him?”


    “Yes,” Charlie replied matter-of-factly. “I’m losing a lot of work time. A hundred thousand dors is already a bargain for him.”


    The policeman gulped and asked, “You don’t know who he is, do you?”


    Charlie shrugged and said, “Do I need to?”


    The policeman looked at Charlie with sympathy and said seriously, “Listen, this man’s name is Antonio Zano. We’re here now, so he won’t harm you, but once we leave, it’s a different story. I advise you not to overcharge him. Your car isn’t worth much; including repairs and lost time, $10,000 is plenty.”


    Charlie scoffed, “Antonio Zano? I’ve never heard of him. Besides, I don’t even know how much I make in a day. Asking for $100,000 is already giving him a discount. What’s he got toin about?”


    Antonio was equally bewildered. He never expected this guy to be so audacious and reckless. It was the first time he had seen someone act like this.


    So, he told Charlie, “Since the police are present, don’t give me a discount. State your full price.”


    Unfazed, Charlie replied calmly, “The original price is at least one million!”


    Antonio gritted his teeth and nodded, “You’re quite clever. Here’s the deal: I might not be able to gather a million in cash immediately. Please leave me your contact information and address. Once I collect the money, I’ll send it over.”


    Charlie looked at him disdainfully. “Don’t you think it’s embarrassing to live in such arge vi and have to pay out one million?”<fne3bb> For original chapters go to FιndNovel</fne3bb>


    The policeman felt overwhelmed. Thankfully, he didn’t understand Chinese; otherwise, persuading Charlie would have been quite the challenge.


    Antonio was furious.


    It was akin to a chairman of a publicly tradedpany trying to negotiate with a security guard in a parking lot—no amount of intimidation seemed to work!


    Suppressing his anger, he asked Charlie, “Fine, tell me how we can resolve this, and I’ll follow your lead.”


    Charlie nodded, pointed towards his manor, and said, “I’ll wait at your ce. You gather the million, hand it to me, and this will all be over.”


    Antonio was taken aback. “You mean you want toe inside and wait?”


    “Yes,” Charlie confirmed confidently. “I need to wait at your house. Otherwise, if you shut the door on me, how will I know what to do?”


    Antonio suddenly burst intoughter. “Alright then, since you insist, pleasee in and have a seat. I’ll arrange for someone to raise the funds right away!”
