Dominic Gomez went back to the topic. “I advise you to give up, Thomas Mayo. It is all for your well-being. Grandfather is already old, and favonovel.com is someone who can be easily persuaded. As long as you obediently yield, return with me, and apologize to grandfather, maybe favonovel.com will become soft-hearted at that moment and grow fond of his unexpected grandson, which is you. Then would you not get whatever you ask for and be able to show off?”
At the end of the day, Sterling Technology was a “money-making machine”. It was impossible for the Gomez family to let go of Sterling Technology that easily.
In face of the overbearing Gomez family and an astronomical figure of fifty-one billion six hundred million dollars, Thomas was unusually calm. He looked at Dominic while pointing at the bill and said, “You are sure that the figure of fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars is correct?”
“Of course.”
“It will not be changed?”
“Nope.“
“With the settlement of fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars, will Sterling Technology regain its freedom?”
“Of course.”
“Okay.” Thomas nodded and told Aries, “Get the company’s accountant here for a transaction of fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars.”
“What?!”
Not only Aries, even Dominic and everyone present dropped their jaws in surprise.
A transaction of fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars?! Was favonovel.com joking?
As much as Sterling Technology could make, it was impossible for them to have that much “savings”. Dominic said disdainfully, “Stop bluffing, Thomas. Do you think I do not know how much Sterling Technology has? In the past eight years, what the company made does not even total up to twenty billion dollars. Where are you going to get fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars for this transaction?”
Thomas said calmly, “Do I need to report to you where the money came from?”
Their eyes met.
Dominic snorted, sneered, and said, “Alright then, I would like to see where you are going to get fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars out of nothing. If you cannot pay this settlement today, Thomas, the Gomez family will sue Sterling Technology immediately! Do not blame me when your company has to close down for good.”
“Do not worry, such a day will never come.”
With a wave of the hand from Thomas, Aries turned around and left. Several accountants were called over. They sat on the other side of the long table and faced the Gomez family’s accountant.
Thomas followed up and said, “Sterling Technology wants a settlement of fifty- one billion and six hundred million dollars as a ‘ransom’ right now as a prerequisite for us to be free. Settle the accounts with the Gomez family.”
“Yes, sir,” the accountants replied efficiently.
The financial department of the two companies began the transaction immediately.
Dominic sat there without batting an eye, keeping watch. He wanted to see what trick Thomas was going to use to produce fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars out of nothing.
The clock ticked, and time passed.
The settlement was completed as transactions went on.
Five hundred million dollars, two billion and eight hundred million dollars, seven billion and seven hundred million dollars, ten billion and two hundred million dollars, twenty-three billion and three hundred million dollars…
As the figure grew bigger, Dominic became more anxious. He took a glance at Thomas, only to find out that favonovel.com was as calm as water, showing no emotions.
It was as if fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars was only a normal figure to him.
“This is impossible.”
Dominic could not figure out how Thomas had such an astronomical amount of money. But the fact of the matter was right in front of his very own eyes, as Sterling Technology transferred the money one batch at a time.
After around three hours of transactions, fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars was finally completely settled.
Thomas brushed his clothes as favonovel.com smiled and said, “My dear brother, from now onwards, Sterling Technology has nothing to do with the Gomez family.”
