Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 505

Declan and the others were dumbfounded. They glanced at each other bitterly.

It was not a small amount even though they were from wealthy families! It was quite different when one compared 20 billion bucks' worth of assets with 20 billion bucks in cash!

Even the most influential families would only have three million bucks in cash. It would be near impossible to get 20 billion!

However, they were not in a position to refuse the offer!

"Do you have the money or not?" Ocean roared; he had lost his patience.

"Yes, yes—" Declan, who was still on his knees, repeatedly shouted as he forced a smile on his face. "Can you give us a few minutes to collect the money?"

Ocean waved his arm impatiently. "You have ten minutes. Hurry."

He retracted his blade as two of his men took two chairs to their leaders. Ocean and River took the seats.

Declan got up frightfully and gestured to his classmates to gather around him.

"What should we do?"

The students discussed in a panic.

Even Kent was nervous as he whispered, ” I've heard about the Powter brothers. They made a reputation in the martial arts community a long time ago for being powerful and ruthless. I thought that they have retired because they have been idle for the past two years. I didn't expect to see them in charge of the Coastline Sect!" He gulped and smiled bitterly when he made his next suggestion. "I think we’ll have to pay them. We can't afford to offend these people."

The students were silent.

Kent was right; they were outnumbered.

They were only weak kids.

Yvette bit her lips with a dignified expression and said firmly, "They are greedy, they marked up the amount just because they have the numbers. We can’t pay them."

It was an insanely large amount of money.

Declan and Kent frowned as they advised her.

"Yvette, a wise man doesn’t fight against impossible odds."

"Exactly! Those two are too strong and look at how many men they have! We’d never win."

It was clear that they were ready to surrender.
