Nathan summarized the incident, then said to Russell Crow and the leaders in an icy tone, "I heard that you're all closely affiliated with him and because all of you are covering for him, he's not afraid of the repercussions of not paying off his debts!"
Russell and the rest were shocked and furious when they heard that.
They knew Jonas, but they were closer with Nathan.
Russell glared at Jonas and questioned him coldly, "Jonas, since when are we that close? How come we don't know about that?"
Jonas started to sweat profusely as he stammered.
Russel continued, "I won't look further into this incident for now, but you must pay off the debts you owe Cross Group immediately. Otherwise, I'll ask the authorities to freeze all your personal and company assets!"
Jonas trembled in fear as if the words struck him like lightning.
If they freeze my assets, they'll definitely put them up for auction, and the selling price will be much lower than the market value.
If that happens, all my efforts would be wasted!
Blood drained from his face as he begged desperately, "Mayor Crow, I owe Cross Group twenty-eight billion, so how can I pay it off immediately? Please give me another chance and extend the deadline..."
Russel snorted. "There's no use in begging me. You need to ask Mr. Cross if he's willing to give you more time."
Jonas finally realized that Nathan was the one calling the shots instead of Russell and the other leaders.
He stared at Nathan with a panicky expression as his voice quivered. "Mr. Cross..."
Nathan smirked. "Haha. Weren't you all that just a few moments ago? Why are you begging me now? I remember you saying that I will face the same fate as the two debt collectors whom you beat into a pulp, right?"
