The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 278 Wealth Or Health âSpit it out! I donât have all day,â ordered Allen impatiently.
âThey seem unreasonable!â Jerry knew that he could never agree to the manâs terms. I have to get my leg broken and pay one hundred million? No way!
âWhich condition are you referring to? The one hundred million? Or breaking your leg?â questioned Allen coldly.
Both, of course! That was what Jerry thought, but he dared not say it out loud. âMr. Morsley, I really donât have one hundred million to pay your friend. What do you say I scrape up ten million for him, and weâll call it even?â
Even though Jerry always pretended as though he would inherit a fortune, he actually came from a slightly above average family in Yaleview.
The most he could gather was a few million, but not the amount Allen demanded.
âYou must be kidding me. Do I look like someone you can bargain with? I told you one hundred million, and thatâs how much I expect to see. If youâre even a cent short, Iâll break your other leg too.â
âBut Mr. Morsley⦠I canât. Even if I wanted to, I donât have one hundred million just lying around.â
âIs that so? Okay, then come over here.â Allen gave Jerry a cold glance before beckoning to the man once again.
However, Jerry was so terror-struck that he completely froze.
âGet over here now!â Allenâs roar was enough to send shivers down Jerryâs spine.
âMr. Morsley, my family-â
âI donât give a da*n about your family! Do you think youâre Christian Walker? Well, let me tell you something. Even if Christian were the one who beat up my friend, I would show him no mercy,â
interrupted Allen before Jerry could finish talking.
There was no one in Yaleview more well-known than Christian, yet Allen held nothing back when he undermined the member of a prominent family, for his family was just as influential, if not more.
In an instant, Jerry realized that he had made a fool of himself.
Never in his life had he ever been that humiliated.
âIâll only say this one last time. Get over here right now!â Allen sounded so fierce that Jerry had no choice but to obey him.
âMr. Morsley, Iâ¦â Slap! Before Jerry could say anything else, he received a hard slap on the face from Allen.
Immediately after the smacking, his cheek turned as red as a tomato.
Still, Jerry remained silent and dared not oppose Allen.
All he could do was rub his cheek to ease the pain and swallow his pride.
âLet me make myself clear. Youâre to pay my friend one hundred million. If youâre even a cent short, Iâll break all your limbs. Do you understand? And if youâre still unable to pay then, Iâll go to your family. Do you know what will happen if they canât pay? Iâll kill every last one of you.â
Even in the face of such a severe threat, Jerry dared not utter a single word of defiance because he knew that Allen was dead serious.
However, compared to Allen, Jerry was even more terrified of the manâs brother, Andy.
The future head of the Morsley family was said to have racked up countless kills alongside Asura.
What made Andy even more fearsome was that Asura personally recommended him to Asuraâs Office.
Nobody knew exactly what his position was in that place or what he was in charge of. In fact, only a handful of people knew what the man looked like, but that did nothing to dampen his influence. Some even said that his position in Asuraâs Office could rival that of the King of War.
The level of power that came with that kind of status was something unimaginable to Jerry.
One could say that the Morsleys owed their prominence to Andy, for he was the only reason the family rose to power.
âIâll figure something out. Your friend will get one hundred million from me!â promised Jerry with his teeth gritted.
Even though Jerry was well aware that Allen was extorting him, there was nothing he could do about it.
Otherwise, his entire family could be in danger.
âDonât forget your leg. Besides the one hundred million, I want your leg broken,â reminded Allen before shifting his attention to Jonathan and the others. âThat goes for you too. Every one of you will pay my friend one hundred million! Anyone who fails to do that will get another broken leg.â
Immediately, Kylie and Yvette trembled in fear since they also knew that it was impossible for them to get that much money. Weâre just students! We canât even afford to pay one million, much less one hundred million!
âWhat do we do, Jerry?â Kylie hoped that her cousin had thought of a way to get them out of the predicament.
However, Jerry was just as helpless as his cousin was. âHow should I know? Iâm in just as much trouble as you are, so what makes you think I can help you? Now just stop talking!â
âBut Jerryâ¦â Kylie was utterly disappointed when her cousin would not even look at her.
âAny ideas, Jonathan?â Sophia too got worried when they somehow got involved in the matter.
As another member of prominent families in Yaleview, Sophia was well aware of the kind of person Allen was. They donât call him the Devil of Yaleview for no reason. That guy is despicable!
âItâs okay. Donât worry about it. I mean, itâs not as if we did anything to the young man,â comforted Jonathan as he patted Sophia on the head.
âBut-â
âYou have nothing to be afraid of. Iâm here, arenât I?â assured Jonathan nonchalantly as though Allenâs threats meant nothing to him.
At that moment, Allen narrowed his eyes to scowl impatiently at Jonathan and Sophia. âWhat the heck are you two discussing over there? Have you finally made up your mind? Your money or your limb?â
âYouâre not going to receive a cent from me. I had nothing to do with what happened to your friend, so why should I pay him?â responded Jonathan in all seriousness.
âWhat did you say? Did I hear you right?â Allen then started laughing as though he had heard a good joke. âAre you trying to reason with me, boy?â
âIt doesnât seem like youâre a reasonable person,â retorted Jonathan coldly.
In response, Allen pointed his finger furiously at Jonathan. âJust who do you think youâre talking to? Iâm the law in this city!â
