The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5948

He couldn't believe he was being extorted right at his own doorstep.

The critical thing was, he had no way out now.

At that moment, his trusted aide approached quietly and said, “Mr. Zano, the VIP is about to arrive.”

Antonio instantly felt nervous. He didn't want the VIP to arrive and find him arguing with someone at his doorstep.

The main issue was his daughter crashing her car into someone else's car and him refusing to compensate the other party, which was embarrassing.

He had no other choice but to nod and pull his henchman over, personally removing the pistol from his waist before he threw it on the ground. He then pushed the henchman toward the police, saying, “Take him away.”

After that, he looked at Charlie and said, “You want a hundred thousand US dollars, right? Wait here. I'll get someone to get it for you.”

The police officer was stunned to hear this and blurted out, “You're asking him for a hundred thousand US dollars?”

Charlie said matter-of-factly, “That’s right. My loss of earnings is substantial. A hundred thousand US dollars is already a discount for him.”

The police swallowed nervously and asked, “You probably don't know who he is, do you?"

Charlie shrugged. "Do I need to?"

The police officer looked at Charlie sympathetically and said seriously, “Listen, this man is Antonio Zano. While we're here, he won't do anything to you, but think about what is going to happen once we leave. I suggest you don't push him too hard. Your car isn't that expensive. Ten thousand US dollars should cover the car repairs and loss of earnings.”

Antonio was furious. It was like a chairman of a listed company dealing with a parking lot security guard. One could say a thousand things, but he would not budge or give in even with threats and inducements.

He suppressed his anger and asked Charlie, “So, how do you propose we resolve this? I'm listening to you.”

Charlie nodded and pointed to his estate, “I'll wait at your place. Once you've got the one million US dollars for me, I'll take the money and leave. Then, this matter will be settled.”

Antonio asked in surprise, “You mean that you want to come inside and wait?”

Charlie nodded confidently and said, “Yes. Of course I have to wait at your place. If you close the door and hide from me, what can I do then?”

Antonio chuckled and said, “Okay, then. Since you put it that way, please come in and wait a moment. I'll arrange for someone to gather the money for you!”
