The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 585

“What? 60% of our company’s shares? You can dream on!” Emma yelled before Benny could say anything. “How could you be so heartless, Rockefeller? You even played tricks and stole our subsidiary company in City South from us last time! Changing its name to what, Dorothy-Alex Constructions? Absolutely disgusting! Shameless! And now you want 60% of our shares? That just means that you want to take over Assex Constructions! Do you really think you deserve that?” “You’re probably still dreaming. Do you think we’d sell more than half of Assex Constructions to you for forty million?” Alex was not triggered by any of Emma’s questions and insults. He said calmly, “I’m just offering a trade, now it’s up to you to take it or not. But I heard that you took this money from loan sharks. If you don’t pay it back now, the interests would just keep building up with time. Wouldn’t that be a shame then? If you were to stall another few days, even I wouldn’t be able to help you either.” The leader was terrified by the fact that Emma dared to speak to Alex in such a manner. He was worried that this murderer would snap Emma’s neck off without a word. More importantly, he was worried that Alex would snap his neck off along with Emma’s. It didn’t matter to him if Emma died anyway, he was just scared because his life was on the line. Just as he was about to yell at Emma, Alex patted him on the shoulder, sending a sharp flow of Chi into his body. The leader froze, he felt as if he was about to pee his pants. Alex then said, “Look man, I’m trying to pay you the loan back, but they refused to take up my offer. I can’t do anything about it then. I am just a normal person you know, I can’t force anyone from doing anything. So if you really want to get your money back, you have to get it back from the Assexes, right? My family has been kicked out by them, so we’re no longer involved with any of their businesses.” The leader now realized what Alex was hinting he didn’t want him to expose his identity. He was telling him to treat him as a normal person, and the sharp flow of Chi was a warning. He nodded profusely. “ You’re right Since you Assexes don’t want someone else’s help to pay back the loan, then you should pay it back on your own. Our interest rate increases by the hour, so if you were to calculate it properly, you would owe us a total of eighty million now. Pay us back now, or else we would take the casket away. If you were to stall this till tomorrow, it would become 100 million then.” The Assexes were about to explode from frustration. However, all of them knew that Assex Constructions was running low on working capital. If they did have the money to keep operating, Benny wouldn’t have loaned money from loan sharks. He knew that this wouldn’t end well if he didn’t act fast. If the old lady’s casket was taken away in front of so many people, the Assexes would be on the headlines of every news broadcast. They would say that the Assexes couldn’t pay back their loans and the old lady, along with her casket was taken away as insurance. If this were to happen, the Assexes’ name would be ruined. Benny said, “Why don’t we settle it like this? We Assex Constructions don’t have enough working capital to pay you back, but I can transfer 20% of the shares to you. According to market value, that would be valued at 100 million at least.” Suddenly, the leader slapped Benny across the face. “Bullsh*t! Who doesn’t know that Assex Constructions is going bankrupt? Just look at the number of employees here, demanding for their salaries! Do you think I’m blind? The value of your shares is no more than mere toilet paper! Only idiots would want it!” Just then, he remembered that Alex was asking for shares a while ago. shuddering briefly, he changed the way he phrased it. “What I’m saying is, this man here is kind enough to help you just because you used to be family! Since you don’t want to take up his offer, then you leave me no choice. Brothers, take the casket and everything valuable here!” “Stop!” Benny shouted. He turned to Alex. “Are you really willing to pay back the eighty million he mentioned? If you are, then I’m willing to transfer 60% of the shares to you.” Alex shook his head. “I’ve changed my mind.” ‘What?’ Just as Benny was about to vomit another mouthful of blood, Alex said, “I want 70% of your shares. I’ll give you a minute to consider this offer. A minute later, I’ll have to increase it to 80%.” Emma shouted. “Uncle! Don’t agree to this! He’s just trying to steal from us!” Bam! Emma was kicked by one of the men in red again. “F*ck, what does this have to do with you? You ugly sl*t… Oh, oops, sorry Boss, I insulted her again.” “Alright, I’ll accept your conditions!”
