“Ten, nine, eight, three…” Philip counted leisurely.
“No, wait, why did it jump to three all of a sudden?” Kenneth was stunned and panicked.
“Oh, because I want to.”
Philip replied calmly, tapped the iron rod in his hand, and continued to count, “Two…”
“Okay! Three million it is! I agree!”
Although it was expensive, Kenneth was a sensible person. When there was life, there was hope. He could only reluctantly agree.
“Heh, Young Master Hane is really a smart man! Next, let’s talk about your third leg. One price, ten million!”
Philip patted Kenneth’s shoulder.
Kenneth immediately cried out, “Ten… Ten million! It was only three million just now, how did it become ten million now?!”
Philip waved his hand and said, “Is ten million expensive? I think it’s quite reasonable.”
“No, I don’t agree! You’re jacking up the price!”
Kenneth shook his head promptly. The asking price was too much. Although favonovel.com started a company with his father’s support and made a lot of money over the years, it was all his hard-earned money. Spending 13 million in one go was too much!
Thunk!
With a crisp crack, Philip slammed the iron rod in his hand on the ground in front of Kenneth, breaking the floor tiles all at once!
He could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Kenneth anymore. Actual actions were more straightforward than verbal threats!
Kenneth’s head buzzed all of a sudden. He was so scared that favonovel.com clamped his thighs tightly. This movement directly pulled at his broken kneecap, and the pain caused favonovel.com to sweat profusely!
“Okay, fine! I agree! I agree!”
He really believed Philip would do it.
Philip smiled deviously and said, “A businessman indeed, so reliable. Next, let’s talk about your life. How about 30 million? Not too much right? One price, my dear.”
Kenneth suddenly felt dizzy. He would rather die here!
30 million!
It was as good as taking his life!
Although the Hane family had a lot of money in the martial arts center in Riverdale, that belonged to the Hane Group which was the family’s property, not his private one.
“Whether your life is more important or your money is more important, I’m sure Young Master Hane can tell. Sometimes, a person has to pay for his own mistakes.” Philip smiled shamelessly.
Kenneth finally accepted the price of 30 million. He already had a plan in his mind. Once favonovel.com returned, favonovel.com would immediately contact his father and ask favonovel.com to arrest this guy!
He refused to believe that a pathetic guy like this could fight against the Hane family!
This time, favonovel.com lacked thought, so favonovel.com accepted his fate!
Philip told Kenneth to transfer the money on the spot. Due to the large amount, it took quite a while.
Watching his bank balance dropping to zero, Kenneth’s heart was bleeding.
He glared at Philip, gritted his teeth, and said internally, ‘Philip Clarke, I won’t let you off!’
Philip seemed to hear Kenneth’s thoughts and could not help but say, “Kenneth Hane, do you know who burned the bronze sculpture with the word ‘martial’ in the square of the Hane Academy at Capital City?”
At that moment!
Kenneth’s heart tightened!
In his mind, an event of the past suddenly appeared—an event that once cast a shadow on the Hane family!
The Hane family of Capital City was a martial arts clan. For the past three generations, they had been the ambassadors of martial arts and captured half of Capital City’s martial arts resources.
However, for such a big family and such a great force, a major event once happened that shocked the entire Capital City!
In the martial arts arena of Hane Academy, there was a bronze sculpture engraved with the word ‘martial’ that stood for nearly a hundred years. It was worshipped by every single member of the Hane family and respected by every martial artist. This same sculpture was once burned by a man!
It burned for an entire day and night!
How could the Hane family not be furious?
How could all the martial arts practitioners in Capital City not be furious?
However, what was the outcome?
The Hane family only swallowed the shame quietly. Until this day, the burnt bronze sculpture still stood there. It was a humiliation toward the Hane family and must be remembered by each Hane for generations to come!
“You… How do you know?”
Kenneth was drenched in a cold sweat and stared at Philip in horror.
“I did it.”
Philip said calmly before turning around and leaving, leaving Kenneth with his dark silhouette.
It was him!
It was actually him!
Kenneth was flabbergasted and could not stop his body from trembling with fear.
After chatting with Four and inviting the rest of the men for a big meal, Philip left North Street.
At the same time, Wynn had just gotten off work and was driving to the hospital to visit Mila.
When favonovel.com arrived at the hospital, favonovel.com found that there was a middle-aged man already in the ward.
She did not know him.
“Hello, you are?”
Wynn asked politely and looked around suspiciously. There were another two bodyguards in black suits in the room.
“Oh, you must be Wynn Johnston. My name is Tim Clarke, Philip’s uncle.”
The man in front of favonovel.com smiled kindly, his eyes full of an elder’s affection.
