Chapter 973 Furious

By then, Aiden had broken out into a cold sweat. "Five hundred million, huh? No problem. I can do that. Let me call Regenerateur Enterprises and have the finance department transfer the money to your company.

Sh*t! I had hoped I wouldn't need to cough up so much money. What have I gotten myself into? I can only pray that Alex goes easy on me and accepts my offer.

Unfortunately, Alex shook his head. "This matter is non-negotiable. If you don't compensate me seven hundred million, you can prepare to rot in jail!"

"Don't push your luck, Mr. Jefferson! Isn't five hundred million more than enough?" Aiden said through gritted teeth as the veins on his forehead bulged. Despite that, Alex stood his ground.

Left with no other choice, Aiden turned to Logan for help. "Are you seeing this, officer? It's daylight robbery! Won't you do anything about it?"

"You guys have to sort this out yourselves," Logan replied with a shrug. "If he does have a contract, you'll have to compensate him for the losses incurred. Otherwise, it's off to jail you go." "Fine! I'll transfer the money. Will that do?" Aiden fumed, teeth clenched in utter rage.

That's more like it, Mr. Ward. Well, don't just sit there. Go on and call your company's finance department!" Alex urged.

Aiden glared at the man before him. As reluctant as he was, he knew the only way to avoid jail time was by instructing his staff to transfer seven hundred million to Four Seas Corporation. "Is the transfer done, Mr. Ward?" Alex asked, his lips curled into a smug grin.

"You..." Aiden muttered as everything suddenly became clear to him. Oh, my gosh. This has been his plan all along! Back when I was beaten up, this punk intentionally let slip that he was the chairman of Four Seas Corporation. He probably anticipated I'd gather a team to trash his company, which is why the security guards didn't stop us from destroying the place... Alex planned this so he could use the opportunity to blackmail me! For all I knoto, the copy of that contract he mentioned might not even exist!

The more Aiden thought about it, the more he huffed and puffed. His chest felt so heavy and tight that it was as if his lungs were about to explode from the pent-up anger. Pfft!

Sure enough, it didn't take long before he spat a mouthful of blood in Logan's face.

Upon seeing that, Alex couldn't help but burst out laughing. Haha! Just how bad is Aiden's psychological endurance? All I did was trick him into coughing up seven hundred billion. Who knew he'd cough out blood for real?

The next second, he stifled his laugh and patted Aiden's shoulders in mock concern. "Are you okay. Mr. Ward? Why did you suddenly cough out blood? Could there be hidden health conditions that you don't know of?"

Aiden was already in excruciating pain, but Alex's act only worsened it. Despite that, he shoved the latter away and sneered, "Even if I were sick, there's no way I'd die before you!"

On the whole, however, Logan was undoubtedly the unluckiest of the lot. He was merely interrogating suspects as part of his investigation, yet he now had a face full of blood. Who could he complain to?

Having settled Aiden's matter, Alex quickly strode to Elsa's office to ask why she had been looking for him.
