The young man did not seem to notice the change in the expressions of Haylan and Reign. He continued to speak without a care for them, âYou people from the Labenz family have done such a heinous thing. Some of us are even crippled. Now, you want to silence us with just 200 thousand dollars?
âMs. Labenz, donât you think thatâs too little?
âGuys, donât you think so too?â
As he spoke, he looked at the others.
The others looked at each other, Some of them were afraid and kept silent, not daring to speak.
Some others already had their injuries tended to after being saved by Haylan and Reign. They were grateful for them and did not agree with the young manâs words.
However, more than ten people stood up and joined in the jeering.
âThatâs right, Ms. Labenz. This isnât over unless you give us 1 million dollars!â
âThis I million dollars is just to silence us. You still have to compensate us. We are all injured. You must compensate us for mental damage, lost work, medical expenses, and all other expenses!â
âOur relatives and friends have also been shocked. You have to pay for that too!ââ
âThatâs right. You must pay for your mistakes. The Labenz family is loaded with money. Such a small sum of compensation surely is notlung to you!â
Those peopleâs eyes were filled with complacency. They spoke without thinking and asked for all kinds of compensation. Their requests became more and more excessive.
The young man who stood out at the beginning sneered and stood up. He looked at Reign and said, âMs. Labenz, look, this is the voice of the massesâ
âWhatâs your name? Reign asked âIâm not anyone reputable My name is Shaun Ackres The young man said proudly.
âDo you have any other requests?â Reign asked.
âI can ask for more?â
Shaunâs eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly. âMs. Labenz, youâre truly kind and beautiful.
Give me a moment. Let me think about it.â
He rubbed his chin. Excitement could be seen in his eyes. He muttered, âI canât miss such a good opportunity. I must come up with a good reason and ask for a huge compensationâ
He thought about it for 30 seconds before his eyes lit up with joy. âMs. Labenz, people from the Labenz family tore down my house. Donât you think you should compensate me with another house?â
Dozens of people behind him also joined in and said. âThatâs right, thatâs right. Gregory Labenz tore down our house too. You have to compensate us too!â
Haylanâs eyes turned cold when he heard that.
These people were taking advantage of the situation and seeking to exploit it further.
It was obvious from their appearance that they were not exactly innocent victims. It could be considered karma that they were locked up.
When Haylan thought of that, he immediately took a step forward, wanting to intervene.
At this moment, Reign pulled him back and shook her head. âThe Labenz family caused this trouble.
Let me handle it.â
âAre you sure you can handle it?â Haylan asked.
*No problem at allâ Reign nodded.
âAlright, you handle it.â
Haylan nodded and stood aside.
Reignâs expression was calm. She looked at Shaun and the others and said, âYour request is not too much. I can proceed with it. How about this! Iâll be registering your names first.â
After pausing for a moment, she turned to look at Mabel, who was holding her handbag. âMs.
Upston, you have a pen and paper, right?â
âYouâ
Mabel immediately took out a pen and notebook from her handbag âHelp me record their names, identity numbers, and phone mumbers. Iâll verify them all and compensate them accordingly.â Reign said Mabel didnât dare to disobey She instantly walked over with her pen and notebook to register the peopleâs details.
Shaun and the people in this with him were overjoyed. They immediately jotted down their names, identity details, and so on in the notebook provided by Mabel Mabel took over the notebook and handed it to Reign respectfully.
Reign glanced at it and took out her phone to take a photo. She sent it to Landon and said in a deep voice, âMr. Katz, please investigate the background of these people for me.
âI want all their information in 15 minutesâ
Shaun and the others were initially very pleased with themselves and full of anticipation. However, when they heard Reignâs words, their expressions changed drastically âInvestigate us Ms. Labenz. what is the meaning of this Shaun glared at Reign âI will compensate you and the other victims, but that doesnât mean you can ask for the starsâ Reign glanced at him coldly.
It was obvious to Reign that Shaun was a malicious and cunning person Reign had already promised to compensate the victims and even knelt down to them. Most people had come to terms with that yet Shaun still wanted to take advantage of the situation and extort her.
Reign wasnât a fool. How could she possibly agree to such a ridiculous request?
âDoes this mean you donât intend to compensate us? Sure, we will expose this matter right away!â
Shaun angrily said.
With that, he turned around and was about to walk our Reign did not stop fum. She merely sand coldly, âI advise you to better understand the situation. If Gregory Labenz can treat you like this, do you think the Labenz family canât handle a small fry like you?â
Shaun suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
âShaun Ackres, do you think Iâm easy to bully just because Iâm a woÅjan?â
Reignâs is gaze was cold as she said word by word. âGregory Labenz locked you all up like dogs and bullied you at will. He even wanted to sell all of you overseas. Heâs the main culprit.
âIf you have resentment or anger, you should look for him, not mel âI received the news and came here to save all of you. I am your benefactor. Yet, you returned my kindness with ingratitude and made such a condition.
âEven Gregory Labenz has to listen to me. Do you really think I canât do anything to you?â
Her voice was not loud, but it was powerful and domineering There was a chilling sensation As Reign spoke, she stared at Shaunâs back, and her entire body emitted a powerful aura.
Shaun was suppressed by Reignâs aura. When he heard what Reign said, his face paled in shock.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud. His face was pale, and he was drenched in sweat.
At that moment, Shaun was afraid.
When he saw Reign kneeling just now, he subconsciously thought she was easy to bully and wanted to scam ber.
Only now did he realize that Reign was not to be messed with Her words earlier were extremely domineering and filled with threat and killing intent. Shaun was trembling in fear.
It was true. They were all from the Labenz family. No matter how malicious Gregory was, he was still under Reignâs jurisdiction.
How could someone who could control Gregory and the entire Mapleturz Group be a weak woman who could be bullied by others?
She could even be considered the empress of the Mapleturz Group!
Reign no longer looked at Shaun. Instead, she looked at the dozen people beside him and said coldly. âIf you want to report me, you can proceed now.
âI respect your opinions. I wonât stand in your way.
âGo onâ
Those people looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with fear. They stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.
They all understood one thing then: Reign Labenz was not to be trilled with.
They all owed money and were captured by Gregoryâs men. They were locked up in cages and had no ability to resist at all.
As for Reign, she was Lightdom Cityâs richest person and Gregoryâs immediate superior.
With Reignâs capability, she could probably crush them with one finger.
If they actually went against Reign, the consequences would be unimaginable.
âMs. Labenz, we⦠we were wrong. Weâre sorry.â
âMs. Labenz, we were just joking with you. Please donât take it seriously.â
After the people figured out what was happening, they hurriedly tried their best to squeeze out a smile and apologize to Reign Even Shaun had no choice but to lower his head and apologize to Reign.
They all understood one thing. It didnât matter if they exposed the matter, and the Labenz family suffered losses.
They had offended the Labenz family. Once the Labenz family starts to take revenge on them with all their might, they will not survive.
Instead of fighting the Labenz family to death, it was better for them to retreat and try to stay alive.
Reign glanced at them and said coldly, âI am well aware of who all of you are now. Your compensation is gone. Iâll settle the score with you after I find out everything!
âIf youâre still dissatisfied, you can come to the Labenz familyâs Mapleturz Group. Iâll deal with you until the end.â
When Shaun and the people who were with him heard that, their expressions turned ugly. It was as if they had just eaten dog shit. They regretted it so much that their faces turned green.
They thought to themselves. âReign Labenz is using diplomacy before resorting to force!â
They wouldnât have dared to make such a request had they known this would have happened.
In the end, not only did they not get what they requested, but they also lost the compensation promised. They had suffered a huge loss!
However, after figuring out the crux of the problem, they did not dare to make any complaints again, no matter how angry they were. Instead, they swallowed their anger and did not continue to speak.
If Reign flipped out, all of them would die with just one phone call!
Reign ignored them and looked at the rest. âDo any of you have anything else to say?â
