"You are practically extorting me," exclaimed Stone Daffin, unable to accept it. "Opening your mouth and asking for two million, why don't you just rob a bank?"

"Chairman Daffin, we must speak with moderation. Do you believe that I can sue you for defamation based on what you just said?" Bidegla's tone grew firm and somewhat displeased.

"Unbelievable." Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Stone Daffin felt a sweet sensation in his throat, nearly fainting from the anger, and coughing up blood.

"Chairman Daffin, we must speak civilly. Don't resort to insults, or I won't tolerate it," Bidegla furrowed his brow, seemingly very unhappy.

"I will not pay, not a single penny. Your extortion is too severe, I simply cannot accept it," Stone Daffin refused to compromise any longer.

Is all your money ill-gotten gains?

"Fine, if you won't compensate me, then you and your son will both rot in prison," Bidegla stated, turning to leave.

Before he could speak, Vilon Daphne, who was beside Stone Daffin, suddenly knelt to the ground with a pale face.

He had been caught by Bidegla while attempting to assault Tara Lassen. If Bidegla decided to take him to court, he would indeed end up in prison with his father. So now, he felt a sense of panic.

"Vilon, what on earth are you doing? Get up this instant," seeing his own son kneeling to Bidegla, Barney Daffin was dumbfounded, having no idea what had happened.

"Dad, just give him the money," Vilon Daphne pleaded, terrified. He was still young and did not want to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he clung to his father with a pleading expression.

"You..." Upon hearing his son's words, Barney Daffin once again coughed up blood, unable to say a word, pointing at Bidegla.

He could accept going to prison himself, but he never expected that his son would also be under Bidegla's thumb. Now, he was in a vulnerable position and could not refuse.

He could not stand by and watch his son end up in prison just like him.

"Alright, I agree. I am willing to compensate," Barney Daffin finally spoke, feeling a deep pain in his heart. He couldn't refuse; Vilon Daphne was his only son, and he couldn't ruin his son's future.

"It seems that Chairman Daffin is a reasonable person after all," Bidegla smiled, appearing as if bathed in spring breeze.

However, watching Bidegla's smile, Barney Daffin felt an icy chill, seeing him as a living demon. His heart turned cold.

"Okay, since Chairman Daffin is willing to compensate for these two items, then the rest of the compensation should be easy to discuss," Bidegla said, causing Barney Daffin to feel dizzy and finally collapse to the ground.

He was truly provoked by Bidegla. He had already compensated three million, yet he was still not satisfied? If he wasn't worried about his son, he would have been willing to go down with Bidegla.

"Because your people are patrolling this street every day, preventing others from working normally, shouldn't you be responsible for lost wages? And it's because of your people that my uncle Simona was attacked, causing him to develop heart disease. Shouldn't you be responsible for his medical expenses? And..." Bidegla listed at least a dozen compensation items, causing everyone around to gasp and shudder, their teeth chattering. This was too ruthless, wasn't it?

This is no longer about compensation, but rather direct extortion. In theory, Bidegla's actions are already illegal, but with Ned Duda around, the surrounding government officials dare not say a word, fearing that Bidegla will target them.

"Well, the amount you need to compensate is about this much, so let's call it seven million for now," Bidegla said, sounding as if he felt he was getting the short end of the stick.

"You..." Stone Daffin, who had just regained consciousness, was nearly driven to another fainting spell by Bidegla's words, while Zorro Simona, who didn't have a heart condition, was now being pushed to the brink of one.

"Chairman Daffin, do I have anything wrong? Do you have anything to add?" Bidegla paid no attention to Stone Daffin's seemingly predatory gaze, and continued to smile as he spoke.

"I... have no objections." This statement practically made Stone Daffin's teeth pop out. Today, he was truly taken advantage of by Bidegla.

Forget seven million, he would pay even ten million for his son.

"No objections is good, since you're about to go in anyway, just give me the money first," Bidegla said, reaching out his hand.

"Damn." Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Stone Daffin cursed loudly once again.

"Chairman Daffin, please mind your manners, and you're willing to pay is something everyone has heard, so do you still want to back out?" Bidegla said coldly.

"Fine, I'll give!" Stone Daffin finally stopped arguing with Bidegla, and with red eyes, threw out his wallet, saying, "There's at least eight million in there, including savings and credit card limits, it's all yours."

"Well, thank you for Chairman Daffin's generosity." Bidegla smiled, not expecting to swindle an extra million.

This money came quite easily, just a few words and it was his, there's probably nothing better in this world.

"Master Duda, please take me away." After throwing out his wallet, Chairman Daffin's face showed a pleading look as he said to Ned Duda.

He really didn't want to stay here, because he was afraid that if he stayed, he would either be driven to death by Bidegla, or extorted to death by Bidegla. And while he was still clear-headed, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, afraid that he would lose control and fight Bidegla.

Losing this eight million, he accepted it...

"Alright, let's go." Seeing Stone Daffin's infuriated look, Ned Duda also felt some pity for him, to actually encounter Bidegla, it serves him right to lose eight million.

In the end, Ned Duda took Stone Daffin away, but it can be imagined that he will definitely face legal punishment, prison time is inevitable.

And when Vilon Daphne saw her father being taken away, she dared not stay here any longer, she turned and drove away.

As for Yasin Joanne's group, they were escorted to the police station by more than a dozen special police officers. They didn't say a word when they came here, they were just taken to the police station.

I'm afraid they're the most miserable ones, aren't they?

"Alright, this is none of your business here, you can go too," Bidegla said to Yeshak, turning around.

"Then I'll take my leave," Yeshak said, and walked away.

"Uncle Simona, it looks like this place won't be demolished in the short term, so you don't have to worry," Bidegla said, smiling.

"I would rather not relocate," Uncle Simona nodded, then continued, "I have been running my shop here for over a decade. If I were suddenly forced to leave, it would be quite difficult to adapt."

People have a sense of nostalgia, or you might say it's a habit. Suddenly changing one's way of life is truly hard to adjust to.

"Uncle Simona, this is your compensation," Bidegla said, opening his wallet to reveal several bank cards and a thick stack of cash.

"Huh?" Uncle Simona was momentarily stunned by Bidegla's words, then somewhat incredulously said, "This is your money, what are you giving it to me for?"

"What do you mean 'my money'?" Bidegla smiled, "I got this money for you. After all, that guy wanted to demolish your shop by force, so this money serves as compensation, it's what you deserve."

"But this is too much, I can't accept it." Eight million, not eighty thousand or eight hundred thousand, this amount of money is a huge sum for anyone, how could Uncle Simona possibly accept it.

He had just seen how hard-earned this money was, it belonged to Bidegla. It should be Bidegla's.

"Uncle Simona, when I was studying here, I was indebted to your care, allowing me to graduate. Consider this money as my way of showing filial piety towards you. In my eyes, you are like my elder, so this money must be accepted no matter what," Bidegla placed the wallet in Uncle Simona's lap.

Eight million may be a huge fortune for others, but to Bidegla, it was nothing at all. He could always have more money.

"This is too much," a look of embarrassment appeared on Uncle Simona's face, as he attempted to return the wallet to Bidegla.

"Uncle Simona, do you see that car over there? That's mine, and it's worth seven million. Do you really think I need money?" Bidegla gestured towards his Lamborghini parked not far away.

"Is that your car?" Looking at the Lamborghini pointed out by Bidegla, Uncle Simona's face showed a hint of doubt.

Having frequent interactions with university students, he naturally knew what kind of car it was. It was a luxury car worth millions.

"Uncle Simona, hold onto the money, we're leaving now," Bidegla said, pulling Jennie Laura towards the Lamborghini.

Then, in Uncle Simona's astonished expression, they saw the car door of the Lamborghini open automatically, and Bidegla and Jennie Laura got in.

"Uncle Simona, I'll come visit you again in the future," Bidegla said as he drove the Lamborghini out like a bolt of lightning. It was impossible for Uncle Simona to return the wallet to Bidegla now.

At this moment, he completely believed Bidegla's words. Even a luxury car worth millions of dollars could be driven, how could he possibly be in need of money?

Yet the fact that Bidegla gave him eight million made him deeply moved, thinking that Bidegla had finally come into his own.

"Jennie, where should we go for a meal?" Bidegla asked as they drove, feeling hungry.

Originally, he had planned to get a free meal from Uncle Simona, but unexpectedly, so many things had happened. Even now, his stomach was still empty.

"Let's go to the Tianyu Hotel," Jennie Laura casually suggested.

The Tianyu Hotel was under the Laura Group, going there would also avoid any further trouble like what happened at the Green Restaurant.

"Bidegla, I never thought you could be such a good swindler," suddenly, Jennie Laura spoke, looking at Bidegla with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Before, Bidegla observed Stone Daffin's devious actions with disdain. It was truly ruthless to manipulate the situation and receive a compensation of eight million. Is there a more lucrative way to earn money than this?

"It is Stone Daffin's own fault. Such a person deserves to be thoroughly reprimanded. Since he swindles money from ordinary people, I dare to swindle from him. If it weren't for his pitiful appearance, I would have swindled ten million from him today," Bidegla spoke, her expression turning slightly cold.

"Enough of this, let's go eat first. I'm hungry," Jennie Laura patted her flat tummy, pouting cutely.

"Then hold on tight," Bidegla said, and suddenly accelerated the car to two hundred miles per hour, causing Jennie Laura to scream in fear.
