Chapter 267 Five Million Worth of Compensation

Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Vermont became nervous again in an

instant.

“Mr. Lynch… B- But what?” Vermont stammered as he looked at Caspian.

“There’s no need to be so nervous, Mr. Zann Senior. My wife was spooked by your family. Shouldn’t the

re be some compensation for her emotional distress?” Caspian asked pleasantly.

Realization struck Vermont. Was Caspian trying to extort money? NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“O–

Of course! I’ll compensate Ms. Stewart with 20 thousand dollars. Would that be acceptable to you?” Ver

mont replied with a smile.

“20 thousand dollars? Do I look like a beggar to you?” Caspian asked coldly. His expression had chang

ed in an instant.

Vermont was dumbfounded. Was 20 thousand dollars considered too little?

“What about 100 thousand dollars?” Vermont gritted out.

Crossing his arms, Caspian stared at Vermont without speaking.

Vermont felt uneasy seeing Caspian’s demeanor.

“500 thousand dollars! Mr. Lynch, surely this much would be enough to compensate Ms. Stewart?” Ver

mont finally made up his mind.

Willow was a little startled as she sat in her seat. Truth be told, she wasn’t frightened at all.

After all, she was already used to such scenes.

However, Vermont’s willingness to offer 500 thousand dollars was surprisingly generous.

“Could you suggest a figure, Mr. Lynch? I really have no idea,” Vermont said, resigned.

He was about to lose his mind if Caspian was still unsatisfied.

He had already compensated 500 thousand dollars just because Kyle had barged in on Caspian’s dinn

er. It was already an astronomical sum.

However, Caspian still seemed dissatisfied. How much would it take to please him?

“Honey, how much do you think would be suitable for the compensation?” Caspian asked as

he looked at Willow.

“I…” Willow opened her mouth.

“You said five million dollars? Alright!” Caspian interrupted Willow before she could say

Willow was taken aback.

She didn’t say that. Any amount was fine with her she never cared about such things.

“Mr. Zann Senior, my wife has spoken. Five million dollars,” Caspian said as he turned to

Vermont.

“That

Vermont stood still. He wanted to speak but was unable to utter a single word.

Five million dollars was sky–high for compensation!

There was no way Vermont didn’t realize that Caspian was fooling him.

“Alright! I’ll ask my men to send the money to you,” Vermont agreed resignedly. It was just

his luck.

He only hoped that the five million dollars would ensure the safety of the Zanns.

After all, five million dollars was nothing compared to the 20 million dollars he had already.

spent.

“You’re very sincere. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now,” Caspian said as he st

ood up.

Holding Willow’s hand, they left the private room.

“Farewell, Mr. Lynch!” Vermont said hurriedly.

He was eager to see Caspian off.

“Oh, one more thing. I haven’t paid the bill yet, so I’ll have to trouble you for that.” Caspian

smiled.

Vermont froze in place. It looked like he was about to be swindled again.

However, a meal was nothing to him.

“That’s fine. Consider it my treat,” Vermont replied as he forced out a smile.

“Mr. Zann Senior is indeed generous. I like friends like you!” Caspian spoke out.

Letting out a bitter laugh, Vermont was somewhat speechless.

He had no intentions of being friends with Caspian. All he wanted was to avoid trouble.

He couldn’t afford to be involved in such affairs at his age.

Vermont’s heart finally relaxed as he watched Caspian’s and Willow’s departing figures.

He understood that this was Caspian’s warning to him. It was a show of strength.

The Zanns were the only family among the Eight Noble Lineages who did not try to appease Caspian.

He must have been holding a grudge in his heart.

Vermont knew he had to stand by Caspian’s side.

Now, he had no choice but to be involved in these conflicts.

Vermont initially planned to stay out of the matters in Naporia. To put it in another way, he wanted to wa

it until both Caspian and Cole suffered a defeat before making a move.

That way, the Zanns would be the sole victor.

Unfortunately, he was now forced to side with Caspian.

“Bastard!” Vermont gritted out furiously.

“Bunch of useless fools! Don’t play dead, get up!” Furrowing his brows, Vermont looked at the men on t

he floor as he kicked them.

They quickly got up from the floor. They played dead because they knew they were no match. for Caspi

an. It was better to lie down than to stand up and get beaten.

“Take them to the hospital for treatment immediately,” Vermont ordered.

In the end, the men lifted Aaron and Kyle in a hurry.

“Dad! This matter can’t end like this! I won’t accept this!” Aaron exclaimed.

“Shut

The two of them were carried out after that.

It would be a lie if he said he didn’t long for revenge.

However, he was too weak!

He had already investigated Caspian’s background. It only took Caspian one punch to defeat

the master of Azure Flames, Aster Stevans, at Veiled Dragon Bay.

This was enough to prove Caspian’s extraordinary strength.

Anyone who dared to provoke him now would only be seeking death.

“Where’s the waiter?”

Vermont suddenly remembered something when he saw everyone had left.

“Here, Mr. Zann Senior,” the waiter answered respectfully.

“The bill!” Vermont said. His face was filled with resignation.

Vermont was seething in anger. He had already lost five million dollars to Caspian, yet he still needed to

Vermont was at a loss for words.

Fear struck the waiter’s heart as he saw Vermont in a rage. They did not dare to provoke him.
