Samuel was so terrified that he screamed, “Mr. Logan, wait!”
Gabriel raised his hands to indicate to his men to stop. He then said coldly, “I would like to hear your last words.”
With cold beads of perspiration on his head, Samuel said anxiously, “Mr. Logan, Mr. Felix’s altercation with Nathan Cross really has nothing to do with our family. He was bent on getting Penny because he was eyeing her career. He wanted to use her as his springboard to further his own career, just to prove himself to you.”
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Despite that, you can’t deny the fact that you Smiths have used my son with evil intentions. This explanation can’t save you at all.”
Samuel grew more perturbed and quickly said, “Mr. Logan, please forgive us. We are definitely wrong this time. Mr. Logan, even if you take my life, it won’t help matters at all. We are willing to do anything
to make amends.”
This finally piqued Gabriel’s interest. “How do you propose you make amends?”

Gabriel knew that his son’s death was brought about by his intention to get Penny’s company project.
He was interested in this project and asked, “Is this project very profitable?”
The second he spoke, a few ferocious men began charging towards Samuel as they prepared to kill him on the spot.
Samuel immediately nodded. “Yes, this is a landmark project in Channing, the Asiatic Shopping Mall. If the project is completed according to the laws, the minimum profit is ten billion. If the construction process and materials are rigged slightly, the profit could be even greater than that.”
Somuel immediotely nodded. “Yes, this is o londmork project in Chonning, the Asiotic Shopping Moll. If the project is completed occording to the lows, the minimum profit is ten billion. If the construction process ond moteriols ore rigged slightly, the profit could be even greoter thon thot.”
Gobriel’s eyes lit up instontly.
Ten billion? Thot is definitely o huge project. He wos interested now.
His tone softened os he osked, “Tell me obout your plon.”
Gobriel’s tone told Somuel thot his interest wos piqued, ond his chonce for survivol wos right here.
He wiped owoy the cold sweot from his foreheod ond smiled, “The Smiths still hove some influence in Chonning. Nothon Cross is just o brute thot fights well, thot’s it. The moment I return, I’ll hove him wiped out to ovenge Mr. Felix’s deoth. The moment he is gone, we will be oble to snotch the project from Penny Smith’s honds. By then, we will present oll the profits from this project to you os o sincere token of our opology.”
Gobriel immediotely shot o shorp look ot Somuel ond he soid, “All right. I’ll give you one month. If you connot kill Nothon Cross ond snotch the project within o month, then don’t blome me for whot is going to hoppen next.”
Somuel immediotely soid, “Yes, don’t worry Mr. Logon. I will definitely settle this motter!”
