Chapter 2806
?
The moment they held hands, Max sensed a volcanic forceing from Antonio''s hand. He narrowed his eyes and channeled a burst of energy to his wrist to go against Antonio.
Crack, crack, crack!
The force of their battling energies was so immense that the floor they were standing on had cracked and extended outward like a spider web.
Crash!
Following the loud rumble, the two-and-a-half-story tall ancient manor copsed into ruins.
In the yard, Max''s bodyguards jolted in shock. They were afraid he would be in danger.
To their surprise, Max and Antonio stood in the middle of the ruins, holding hands tightly.
Not far away, Kaiser and Gianna were busy patting away the dust on their bodies.
Under the bodyguards'' shocked gazes, Max retracted his hand and grinned. "Antonio, you''re far more capable than I imagined. I''m confident that you can defeat Cross."
Antonio shot him a wry smile. “Admiral Max, you''ll just have to wait for my good news."
In the middle of the vast sea, Penny had just fallen asleep on the Dragon Warriors'' warship. Nathan was dealing with Jurgis and the rest in the ship''s control room.
He was seated in themand chair with Jermaine, Colin, and the Elite Eight nking him.
Jurgis and his trusted subordinates were standing before Nathan, looking utterly disheveled.
Picking up his ss, Nathan took a sip of the water before ncing at Jurgis. "Prince Jurgis, now that the werewolves are no longer a threat, it''s time for us to settle our score," he said calmly.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
Jurgis'' expression soured when he heard that.
Weakly, he pleaded, "Mr. Cross, it was my fault. I know I was wrong, so please forgive me this once."
Nathan remained apathetic. "An apology isn''t enough. I need to make you bleed so you''ll learn from your mistake."
Make me bleed?
Shocked, Jurgis nearly fell to his knees to beg for mercy. "Mr. Cross, I know my mistake. I''m willing to make up for it. Please don''t torture me." Nathan''s lips curled into a half-smile. “By making you bleed, I mean you have topensate me financially. What are you thinking?"
Jurgis gaped incredulously. Oh, so Nathan wants me topensate him with money.
As the prince of Eaglnd, he was rich enough to afford any sort ofpensation. He''d rather pay
Nathan than be tortured physically.
He immediately replied, "Of course, Mr. Cross. I''ve caused you to suffer a huge loss, so it is only right that Ipensate you. I shall—"
Nathan cut in, "Good. I won''t ask for much. Twenty billion will suffice. You can think of it aspensation or as repaying Eurasia''s naval army for saving you from the
о
werewolves."
Jurgis'' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock. "What? Twenty billion?"
Nathan snorted. “Is twenty billion too much to buy your lives?"
He turned to Colin and Jermaine to ask deliberately, “Is anyone willing to pay more for their lives?"
As Colin parted his lips to speak, Jurgis promptly caved in. "Don''t offer any price. I''llpensate twenty billion. I will!"
Jurgis was a sly fox. Afraid that Colin and Nathan would work together to increase the price, he instantly agreed to pay the twenty billion.
Nathan shed a smile. "I''m d
you know your ce. Remember how you nearly lost your life back then? The twenty billion can allow you to go scot-free, and no one will ask you to be responsible for the matter. You should feel lucky that you''re able to go home alive."
Jurgis was on the verge of tears.
Nathan added, "Transfer the money to Eurasia''s Board of Revenue. Will that be a problem?"
"Of course not," Jurgis responded hastily.
Nathan gave him a dismissive wave. "You may leave now. You can use themunication device on the warship to contact your family.
When the money is safely in our
ount, you will be released. Remember, don''t take too long. Otherwise, we''ll be bringing you back to Eurasia with us."
Jurgis wore a crestfallen expression. “Yes, Mr. Cross!"
