CHAPTER 1390 HOW SHOULD WE SETTLE THE SCORE

A scrawny but vicious-looking man reached for his dagger asked with a wicked smile, "Mr. Coyle is talking to you! Did you take a peek at his wife while she was showering?"

"I-I didn't..." Marcus stuttered. He was horrified.

Before Marcus could finish his sentence, the vicious-looking man had already lunged his dagger at Marcus, stabbing the latter at his thigh.

The sharp dagger penetrated Marcus's pants and was merely a few centimeters away from Marcus's groin.

Marcus shuddered in fear because could feel the dagger's frigid blade on his pants. In fact, he almost wet himself in front of everyone.

Once again, the vicious-looking man asked, "On behalf of Mr. Coyle, I'll ask you once more. You should be mindful of your answer; otherwise, I may stab the wrong place next time. Did you take a peek at Mr. Coyle's wife while she was showering?” "Y-Yes! I-I did! I-I took a peek! Boohoo..." Marcus stuttered as his teeth were chattering.

He broke down in tears as soon as he finished his sentence because he felt aggrieved and intimidated at the same time.

Meanwhile, Victor and the bunch of bandits exchanged glances and smiled; they were overjoyed because they had achieved their goal.

Similarly, Victor's vicious-looking subordinate repeated the same trick on the remaining employees of Cross Group. They were forced to admit they had taken a peek, or their life would be at stake. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Since your workers have admitted their wrongdoing, how should we settle the score?" Victor probed with a grin as he looked at Penny.

Penny grimaced in disgust because she was certain she had run into a bunch of bandits.

Obviously, she wouldn't be able to sort things out peacefully because the bandits were determined to rip off Cross Group. Penny also knew it would be impossible for her to talk some sense into the bandits.

Therefore, she decided to give in to their demand. Although it might cost a fortune, it was fine to her, as long as she could solve the problem.

Once she made up her mind, Penny tried her best to suppress her anger and asked, "Why don't you tell me what exactly you are up to?"

"An eye for an eye has always been the method for us in the North to sort things out. Since your employees have taken a peek at our wives, we will return the favor and strip their wives naked as well. Sounds like a fair deal, right?" Victor replied with a lecherous smile.

"I'm sorry. That's impossible because your request is absurd," Penny frowned and replied in a serious tone.

"I know that's impossible. Their wives aren't around because you are all from out of town!" Victor replied sarcastically and stared at Penny and Frida all of a sudden. "Don't worry, we are willing to settle for less! We'll have both of you substitute their wives instead! As long as both of you strip naked in front of us, we'll forget about everything that has happened."

The moment Victor told Penny his suggestion, the bunch of bandits behind him burst into laughter.

However, Penny and Frida frowned in irritation; they were on the verge of losing their cool.

Nevertheless, Penny tried to calm herself down once more and warned the bandits, "Stop getting full of yourselves! I will never give in to such an absurd request! I'm sure you're trying to rip us off.

Since that's the case, why don't you name your price? How much is it going to take to satisfy your greed?"

In return, Victor scoffed, "My price? Sure! Ten billion is all it takes to settle this incident once and for all! After all, you should compensate us for our psychological loss, right? Once we receive the ten billion, we'll pretend none of this has ever happened.”

Ten billion?

Penny and her fellow employees' eyes widened in disbelief. Yet another absurd request!

This incident was no longer a trivial scam. It seemed like the bandits were up to a bigger scheme.

"I'll allow you to think about it for a minute. Either both of you strip naked in front of us, or you have to compensate us ten billion for our loss! If you don't follow my instruction, I'll castrate your employees in front of you before having some fun with both of you ladies!” The perverted Victor Coyle coerced Penny.

When Penny was on the verge of losing her cool, a man's callous voice could be heard coming from behind her. "I'll give you a minute to think about it as well. I'll allow you to die comfortably if you get down on your knees and beg for mercy in front of my wife immediately!"

Victor and the bunch of bandits were taken aback by the man's words.

All of a sudden, everyone turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw Nathan along with Colin and the Elite Eight by his side.
