Porter's sudden ruthless words made Tony tremble out of shock and fear.
He really did not expect that Porter would be so relentless that he would want to make his whole family go
completely extinct just because he had not said the right words.
Moreover, Tony did not doubt Porter's attitude in the slightest. After all, this man was the lord of Ten Thousand
Armies, and he would not be carelessly saying these words in the presence of so many soldiers as well as the
members of the Wade family. What's more, all of Tony's information about his identity and even his family's
information was all recorded in detail in the Wade family's genealogy. He would not even be able to run away.
As he thought of this, he immediately said in incomparable horror, "Lord Waldron, I'm willing to cooperate! | will
give up half of my family's assets! Please be merciful..."
Porter snorted coldly and questioned him, "Why? You're afraid now? Didn't you say that your family's assets are
all your hard-earned money? | really thought that you were courageous enough to die in order to defend your
assets!"
Tony choked up and said, "I was just muddle-headed

and confused just now. Lord Waldron, please do not hold it against me. In fact, money is just something outside
the body. Even if | am confused, this truth is still clear to me..."
Porter had a straight expression on his face as he said, "Since you understand it now, | will give you another
chance. If you cooperate actively and grasp hold of this opportunity, Ten Thousand Armies will not pursue this
any longer. From now on, we will mind our own respective businesses. However, if you dare t o play any petty
tricks with me, I will not be merciful either!"
Tony shuddered, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Lord Waldron... | will not dare to play any tricks against you
no matter how courageous | am..."
Porter ignored him. Instead, he
spoke up and said to everyone, "If all
of you wish to be safe and sound, transfer half of your family assets over to Ten Thousand Armies' overseas bank
account honestly. As long as you are willing to spend money to avert the disaster, Ten Thousand Armies will
abide by its promise and not pursue this matter anymore."
At this point, all of the people instantly took a stand and expressed their willingness to accept and meet the
demands of Ten Thousand Armies.
Porter then said sternly, "However, don't even think of fooling Ten Thousand Armies! After collecting the money,
we will also arrange for professional financial auditors to evaluate each of your family assets. If we
were to find out that there is anyone who is paying an amount that is less than half of their assets, that person
will have to pay a compensation of three times the difference in the said amount, then!"
As soon as these words cout, the faces of the members of every one of the Wade family's collateral families
were all steeped in sorrow.
They had originally thought that they would definitely be able to conceal the actual situation of their family's
assets to a certain extent. They thought that if their assets were ten billion dollars, they would definitely b e able
to lie and claim that they only had two or three billion dollars so that they could just settle things by taking out a
billion dollars.

However, according to Porter's statement, even if they were to pay more than a billion dollars, Ten Thousand
Armies would demand that they pay three times the compensation if the financial
auditors from Ten Thousandel
assessed the true size of their
family's assets and determined that they had paid three billion dollars lesser. In that case, the compensation
alone would cost
them ten billion dollars in itself!
At this time, Tony said with much trepidation, "Lord Waldron... My family'sworth is about eight billion dollars.
However, the cash that I have on hand and can gather will only add up to about two billion dollars. How should |
handle this situation, then?"
Porter said coldly, "If that is the case, you should convert all of your stocks into cash first. After that, you should
transfer the two billion dollars to Ten Thousand Armies' designated bank account. When you go back, you should
sell sof your other assets immediately to pay up for the remaining two billion dollars!"
