Chapter 4076
Finley had told the assistant to give a stern final offer and immediately end the call. They would then give them time to think and accept their condition. However, he had never expected Old Godfather Ryan to instantly decline him. He had completely overturned the situation in just a short time! The blood was pounding in Finley's ears when he heard that there were thousands of people on the other side.
There were a few thousand people!
'Are they planning to go to the police station to make a police report or go on a parade?! Isn't the matter bad enough already?!'
He panicked, but Old Godfather Ryan had already ended the call by then.
Old Godfather Ryan had fifty years of experience as a mafia member. He might not have learned any real skills, but he was good at bluffing.
The busty tone sounded on the phone, and Finley paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
He had no idea how he could avenge his younger brother's tragic death yet, and there was already a bill of four billion and one hundred million US dollars in front of him. He was so devastated and almost collapsed from the two bad news. The assistant had to ask him, "Master, what should we do now..."
"What should we do..." Finley murmured with empty eyes and shook his head.
He muttered to himself, "I also don't know what to do... I still don't know how I should tell my family about Franco's death... I don't even know how to resolve the four billion worth of compensation money payable..."
The assistant gave it a thought and then ground his teeth as he said, "Should we give them more?"
"Give them more?" Finley asked in response, "How much more?"
The assistant considered it momentarily and suggested, "I think we can offer five hundred thousand US dollars more."
Finley shook his head as he said dejectedly, "It won't do. Even if I'm willing to give an additional five hundred thousand US dollars for my peace of mind, the other party would never agree. He has guessed my weakness correctly. He knows I can't risk it..." The assistant quickly said, "Master, I don't think they can afford to gamble either.
They've lost the main breadwinner in their family. If they don't take the compensation, their future life would have no guarantee!"
Finley gritted his teeth. "You don't understand. The decision is in my hands when this matter concerns only us.
However, on their side, the decision
sof
is in the hands of thousands of people! If one of these thousands people is dissatisfied and goes to the police, this sh*t will go down like a nuclear bomb! It won't work if not everyone agrees!"
The assistant finally came to a sudden realization. Although only one man had contacted him, there had been a group of thousands of people behind him. When he had stated his condition as the group's representative, this meant that the group must have all agreed with him.
However, if they negotiated it any lower, not everyone would be able to reach the same agreement.
Therefore, if a mistake were to happen, things would be completely out of control.
As he thought of that, he could only tentatively ask, "Master, then... what should we do? Should we agree with them? They've only given us three minutes to think about it...' Finley was tormented by many strong negative emotions and felt as though he was about to explode.
His life had been so smooth-sailing, and this was his first time facing such a predicament in life. He did not know what to do at all. However, time was ticking away quickly.
There were only thirty seconds left of the three minutes given, and Finley clenched his fist tightly as he ground his teeth angrily. He roared, "Accept it!"
The assistant felt pained to have to pay so much, but he knew there was no other feasible way to resolve this at the moment. Hence, he immediately called Old Godfather Ryan back.
Old Godfather Ryan and the group of thousands of people held their breaths as they eagerly waited for the other party's reply. They could no longer be bothered with their sorrow.
They could not have imagined that Old Godfather Ryan would daringly demand five million US dollars from the other party. However, since he had already made the demand everyone quietly hoped that they could seal the deal.
