Chapter: 400
“Oh? What do you mean?” Dustin raised his eyebrows.
“I heard that you have the Immortunol formula in your hands. It’s something I am very interested in.” As Phineas spoke, he took out a check and slid it onto the table.
“This is a check for 30 million dollars. If you give me the formula, then the money is yours. For people like you, this amount is enough for you to live without worry for the rest of your life!”
“Sorry, I’m not interested.” Dustin rejected it immediately.
“Why? Is it too little?” Phineas narrowed his eyes slightly.
“I didn’t peg you for someone with a big appetite. Alright, why don’t I add on another 20 million dollars, which makes it 50 million dollars in total? Give me the formula.”
“Like I said, I’m not interested,” Dustin repeated indifferently.
“Young man, I advise you to consider this carefully. I do not like to be rejected. If something catches my eye. I’ll do anything to get it.” Phineas began to ramp things up.
“If you agree, then not only will you get the money, you’ll also become a friend of the Laney family. If you ever run into trouble, our family will help you. Conversely, if you turn me down, you’ll become an enemy of the Laney family. You have to decide for yourself whether you want to be our friend or foe.”
Dustin couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.
“I don’t like to be threatened. If you’re going to speak like that, then we can only be enemies.”
“Hm?” Phineas‘ face darkened.
“Punk, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Of course.” Dustin nodded.
“Hmph! Don’t think you can go around fearlessly because you have the Harmons backing you. To tell you the truth, I have a hundred ways to deal with small fry like you. If you’re going to remain stubborn, I don’t mind playing this game with you,” Phineas threatened with a nasty expression.
“I’ll play with you to the end.” Dustin was not the least bit afraid.
“Good. I hope you won’t regret it!” Phineas snorted, got up, and left.
A country bumpkin actually had the guts to go against him?
He must have a death wish!
The night went by uneventfully, but the next morning
“Ah!”
Dustin was rudely awoken by a scream.
When he opened his door, he found Caitlyn collapsed on the floor, her face white with fear.
“Mr. Rhys, Dusty is dead!”
Caitlyn pointed at the door with tears in her eyes.
