Chapter 1323 The Old Fox Orlando
reputation or self-preservation.'"The best way is to defeat them one by one before the Changsun family and the Dongfang family truly unite.In terms of strength, neither the Dongfang family nor the Cha..."Father, what shall we do Won't this offend the Laurence family"
Robbie was a bit nervous, after all, the Laurence family was renowned and far beyond what their second-rate family could afford to provoke.
"Don't worry, we have the Brown family behind us. What's there to be afraid of"
Orlando didn't seem to mind at all. "Our family is the victim now, Barclay is dead. Even the Laurence family wouldn't go too far."
Just stay by my side for a bit, don't do anything, just look sad.
"Understood, Father."
Robi's excitement vanished, replaced by a look of dejection.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the Field family's hall, where George and the others were already waiting.
"Mr. George, I apologize for the wait."
Orlando, who was just full of energy a moment ago, now looks old and withered. His face is etched with deep sorrow.
Robby trailed behind, equally heartbroken and looking utterly devastated.
"Mr. Orlando, it's a pleasure to see you."
George didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, someone in the other person's family had just passed away, and they were core members.
After some polite pleasantries, Orlando said, “Mr. George, a terrible thing has happened at home. My beloved grandson was killed by an arrogant Chinese man. This breaks my heart.”
"As you know, my health hasn't been good lately. And with this happening, I can't stay here for long. It's really rude of me to leave..."
The old geezer is truly a sly fox. He immediately put himself in the position of a weakling.
"Well...Mr. Orlando, I'm here about that..."
"At this point, George couldn't beat around the bush anymore. He got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Orlando, what happened is truly heartbreaking."
However, I understand that Dr. Ye doesn't intend to do anything to Barkley; this was entirely an accident.
The Field family has no animosity towards them, I think we can talk about this.
First of all, on behalf of Dr. Ye, I would like to apologize to you and am also willing to pay compensation, hoping to win the understanding of your family.
"No, no, no... This is unforgivable. Barkley is my beloved grandson, and he's gone now. Our family is devastated."
None of us want any compensation, we just want that arrogant Chinese person to pay for what they've done.
After hearing Lu Banxia's account, George also realized that it was just a trick and scolded the other party as an old fox.
He's clearly trying to make exorbitant demands, but he pretends to be unwilling to accept any compensation.
But there's no other way, a man under someone's roof has to bow his head. For the sake of getting Ye Bufan out as soon as possible, George can only lower his posture.
Mr. Orlando, as I've said before, this was an accident. Dr. Ye didn't know Barkley and had no motive to kill him. I think we should talk this through, for the benefit of both sides.
"Well then, since Master George has spoken, our Field family can't possibly deny you this favor."
Orlando also knew that being too over-the-top could backfire, and it was important to state his demands when push came to shove.
George's heart leaped with joy: "Orlando Patriarch, let's be straightforward. What conditions would it take for you to come to an understanding with Dr. Ye To not pursue his responsibility"
Normally, murder is a serious crime, and even if both parties reach an agreement, the responsibility cannot be completely absolved.
But the situation is different now. As long as the Field family no longer pursues it, George has the ability to bail Ye Bufan out of there.
"Mr. George, to be frank with you, Barclay is my most beloved grandson. He is exceptionally talented. If it weren't for this unfortunate incident, I had planned to pass on the head of the family position to him in a few years."
Orlando's voice broke, and two lines of tears traced their way down his cheeks.
Robby stood behind, secretly feeling ashamed of himself, thinking to himself that when it came to acting, he was still far inferior to his father.
George remained silent, knowing that the other party's theatrics were merely a prelude, setting the stage for a hefty demand later on.
"Of course, Orlando continued, "Barclay's passing is a great loss to our Field family. If you wish to compensate us, we have two conditions."
First, we need to transfer all assets of Angel Pharmaceuticals under his name completely to the Field family. Second, an additional 10 billion US dollars in compensation will be given.
"This..."
After Orlando finished speaking, George and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Although they had prepared for the other side to make a large request, they did not expect Orlando's appetite to be so great.
If it was just 10 billion US dollars, the George family would still be willing to contribute, after all, they have the means and hold a deep sense of gratitude for Ye Bufan. However, Angel Pharmaceutical is worth hundreds of billions, and it belongs to Ye Bufan's name. None of them can make the decision, not even Lu Banxia.
George's face darkened. "Mr. Orlando, don't you think your demands are a bit excessive"
"No, no, no, I don't think the terms are excessive at all." Orlando waved his hand. "Barclay is my dearest grandson and the most outstanding heir to our family, yet he is dead now."
"Human life is priceless. I don't think any of this is enough to compensate for the loss our family has suffered. The only reason I agreed to a settlement is because of Mr. George."
George wanted to go up and strangle the fat pig. He was asking for an outrageous amount of money and still had the nerve to sell himself as a favor.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. "Mr. Orlando, I think you should change the terms. I can give you more money, up to 200 billion dollars."
But Tianji Pharmaceutical's shares are out of the question. Those belong to Dr. Ye, and we can't give any away.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss."
Orlando shrugged, he was completely fearless now. Ye Bufan was imprisoned in a maximum security prison, the one who should be worried was him.
He believes that it won't be long before these people, when they receive the distress signal inside, will agree to his terms.
George said in a cold voice, "Orlando, have you thought this through This is going to put you at odds with the Lawrence family."
"Lord George, the Feld family is targeting Ye Bufan, and we have no dealings with the Laurence family. However, if you insist on making us your enemies, then there's nothing we can do about it."
Though Orlando is afraid of George, he's not too panicked because he has the Brown family backing him up.
"Well then, let's go."
After George finished speaking, he waved his hand and left the Field family with everyone.
Convicts in the prison, time passed by little by little. As midnight approached, all the prisoners in the cell had entered into slumber.
Ye Bufan jumped out of bed and, with an unnoticeable flick of his fingers, sent pulses of qi striking the pressure points on those prisoners' necks. At this point, even if the heavens were to collapse, they wouldn't be able to wake up.
Then he walked into the restroom, which was a blind spot for the cameras. With a thought, he summoned Erlang from the Dragon King's Hall.
He had prepared a stand-in for himself, and he hadn't expected it to be called upon so soon. He used his divine sense to command Erlang back to his bed and continue sleeping there. turned his head to look at Tang Youwei: "Do you still think my sister was interested in your money Tell me how much money you have""I..."Tang Youwei suddenly felt like his throat was choked, his face...
