Very quickly, Jon Xander prepared thirty million in cash. The bank notes filled nine briefcases to the brim.
Scar headed out with nine skilled subordinates at night carrying the nine briefcases along. They arrived at the top floor of Cloud Palace in Channing to meet Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn.
Cloud Palace was undergoing some renovations and didn't accept any customers for now.
Scar walked into the restaurant with his nine subordinates.
Nathan Cross was enjoying a steak at a table by the window.
Meanwhile, Thomas Dunn stood politely next to Nathan.
Big Skull and his group of thugs lay on the floor, motionless and on the brink of death, with Jack and a group of men watching over them.
Scar walked over but was quickly halted by
Jack before he could even go near Nathan.
Jack used a weapon detector on Scar and each of his men, allowing them to proceed only after making sure they were unarmed.
Scar narrowed his eyes as he arrived before Nathan. Tve brought the money you asked for, Nathan Cross."
Nathan smiled faintly. "Congratulations on making the right decision. You may now leave with your group of handicapped men. But when I say ‘leave', I mean you must get out of Channing."
He was telling Jon Xander that they were never to set foot inside Channing again.
Scar narrowed his eyes. "And if my boss refuses?"
"This is your only chance to live," Nathan said casually. "If you don't walk away now, you'll remain here forever."
Scar's eyes glinted. "Not if I kill you first! Men, attack!"
The moment Scar's words fell, the nine subordinates behind him tossed the briefcases they held in the air.
The briefcases opened up, sending countless banknotes flying in the air.
Inside each case was a dagger, which now began to fall to the ground alongside the banknotes.
The nine subordinates swiftly grabbed the daggers and charged toward Nathan.
"Protect Mr. Cross!" Thomas Dunn roared.
He held three men back, but the remaining six continued to charge at Nathan. Six sharp daggers reached for the man's throat at the same time.
