I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The executives who were arguing just moments before froze in place, as if they had been frozen in place.

Ryutaro Yamamoto was ashen-faced, trembling violently, his eyes filled with terror.

Kenichi Sato and the others turned pale, cold sweat streaming down their faces, and they instinctively took a step back.

Chen Mo withdrew his hand, his tone flat and even: "I've suddenly changed my mind."

"From now on, for every hour of delay, an additional ten billion US dollars in compensation will be imposed."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically at the same time.

Watanabe Makoto practically blurted out, "You can't do this! This is robbery!"

Chen Mo raised his hand and pointed.

Another Qi Blade.

A red dot appeared between Watanabe Makoto's eyebrows, and then he fell straight down, landing next to Kobayashi Masao's corpse.

Two corpses lay side by side on the floor, blood slowly spreading and staining the floor red.

The meeting room fell silent, with Yamamoto Ryutaro and the others swallowing hard, completely terrified.

Chen Mo looked at them and asked lightly:

"Who else?"

No one speaks.

No one moved.

Everyone kept their heads down, trembling all over, and no one dared to meet Chen Mo's gaze.

"Since no one has any objections, let's hurry up and raise the money; my patience is limited!"

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, his hands resting on the armrests, tapping them repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ryutaro Yamamoto was the first to react, bowing repeatedly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He turned to face the remaining five executives, his voice hoarse with near-collapse:

"What are you all standing there for?! If you don't want to die, raise the money now! All accounts! All assets! Get everything moving!"

After half an hour.

Ryutaro Yamamoto held a list in his hand, which contained the funds collected by everyone.

however……

After spending half an hour, they only managed to raise 200 billion.

Of that, 150 billion was raised by himself.

The remaining few people only managed to raise 50 billion!

Ryutaro Yamamoto's face turned ashen, and he slammed the list onto the table with a thud.

"Baka!"

"Sato, your financial sector has tens of billions on paper, and you only withdrew 500 million? Do you think I don't know how much money you have?"

"And Nakamura too!"

"You own three listed companies; you could easily raise billions by pledging a portion of them. You're telling me you can only scrape together 300 million?"

"Watanabe is dead, I accept his share... but you... you bastards!"

Ryutaro Yamamoto raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the five people standing in front of him like a knife.

"Are you risking your lives to save money? Especially you... Yamada!"

Ryutaro Yamamoto pointed at the shareholder huddled in the corner, his voice hoarse:

"Your assets add up to at least tens of billions, and you're only willing to offer 5000 million? 5000 million! Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?!"

Yamada Kazuhiko lowered his head, his lips moved as if he wanted to refute, but when he thought of Chen Mo, he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

Chen Mo looked at Yamada Kazuhiko: "You're worth billions, yet you only contributed 5000 million?"

Yamada Kazuhiko shuddered and hurriedly offered his explanation:

"Mr. Chen, most of my assets are in real estate and long-term equity, so there's nothing I can do for the time being..."

Chen Mo raised his hand and pointed, and a Qi blade shot out.

puff!

Yamada Kazuhiko's words came to an abrupt halt, and a small red dot appeared on his forehead.

His body swayed, then he fell straight down, crashing to the floor without a sound.

Chen Mo said indifferently, "Since there's no way to do it in the short term, then let's not do it!"

The remaining few people in the conference room were pale-faced, frozen in place, barely daring to breathe.

Chen Mo looked at Yamamoto Ryutaro, his tone cold:

"You guys continue! But my patience is running out!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Yamamoto Ryutaro bowed repeatedly to Chen Mo, then pulled out a pistol, pointed it at the remaining men, and roared:

"Did you hear me?! Keep raising funds! Bring out every last penny you have! Anyone who dares to withhold any more, I'll kill them first!"

With this deterrent effect, the remaining people dared not keep anything secret.

"I'll liquidate all my investment products and bonds immediately! I'll operate three accounts simultaneously; the funds will arrive within 20 minutes!"

"I'm pledging my shares! I'll contact the brokerage right now! I'll get as much as I can!"

"Clear all overseas accounts! Leave not a single penny!"

Less than half an hour.

Ryutaro Yamamoto walked back to Chen Mo, holding the tablet computer in both hands with utmost respect:

"Mr. Chen, the 50 billion US dollars have been fully raised!"

"I just transferred it to you. It went through the express channel and arrived in real time. Please check."

Chen Mo took out his phone and glanced at the screen.

A new notification popped up on the bank's app, ending with a dollar sign.

"Now that we've raised the 50 billion US dollars, I'll keep my promise and let you go this time!"

Chen Mo glanced at Yamamoto Ryutaro, stood up, and gave Liu Xin a wink.

Without saying another word, he turned and left the meeting room.

Seeing Chen Mo leave.

Ryutaro Yamamoto wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, slumped into a chair, and felt as if all his strength had been drained away.

He paused for several seconds before raising his head to look at Liu Xin, who was still standing at the door, and spoke respectfully:

"Sir... is there anything else?"

Liu Xin leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, looking at the ashen faces in the conference room, speaking casually as if they were chatting.

"You sent people to kidnap Old Chen's parents; naturally, you must pay the price for that!"

Yamamoto Ryutaro's expression suddenly changed, and he jumped up from his chair, urgently saying:

"But we've already paid $50 billion in compensation! Mr. Chen personally promised to let us go! He can't go back on his word!"

Liu Xin tilted her head, a slight smirk playing on her lips: "It's his business if he lets you go!"

"But... I didn't promise to let you go!"

Ryutaro Yamamoto's face turned pale instantly:

"You can't do this! Mr. Chen has already promised! You can't break your promise!"

"Credit?"

Liu Xin scoffed, "I don't have time to talk about integrity with you petty people!"

"Go to hell, all of you."

Liu Xin raised his right hand, and a fireball the size of a fist appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The fireball was entirely crimson, with a golden halo around its edges.

The flames inside surged and rolled as if they were alive, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

Ryutaro Yamamoto's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth as if to scream.

Liu Xin tossed it aside casually.

The fireball flew out and landed on Yamamoto Ryutaro, instantly expanding in size.

call!

Flames suddenly exploded, engulfing Yamamoto Ryutaro entirely in a crimson sea of ​​fire.

"what!"

Ryutaro Yamamoto let out a piercing scream.

But it was quickly drowned out by the roar of the flames.

Ryutaro Yamamoto twisted and struggled in the fire, then quickly charred, shattered, and dissipated.

He was burned completely! Not even a single bone was left! Only a handful of ashes remained!

But the flames did not stop.

It swelled up instantly, like a hungry beast, and spread in all directions.

Kenichi Sato, Koji Nakamura, Daisuke Takahashi, Hideki Tanaka, and the others ran desperately toward the door.

But the fire spread faster than they could run.

In just a few seconds.

Everyone in the conference room was engulfed by flames.
