Chapter 20 A Token of Allegiance
What?
Two billion dollars?!
Archie was shocked when he heard the price. He thought, “I knew it, and I still had to pay more!”
But two billion dollars was not a small amount for a top wealthy family like the Peterson family. He could not take that much at once.
“You… no, no, no… Oracle… Master… that…”
Charles changed his words several times in a row and finally felt that the address of “Master” somewhat suited the young man in front of him who looked like an oracle.
“We… Can we discuss…”
“I can give two billion dollars. But can you give me a few more days?”
Leones said coldly, “What gave you the illusion that you dare to bargain with me? If you keep speaking nonsense, you will get a ransom of three billion dollars!”
“Master…” Charles said with a grimace and said, “It’s not a big deal to give three billion dollars. Even if the Peterson family prepares the money overnight, we can’t transfer so much money at
once.
“Besides, the bank is out of working hours now, and we cannot prepare the money at all.
“I don’t dare to bargain with you, Master. But there are indeed some problems.”
At this moment, Mia spoke, “Leones, he is right. It’s getting late, and he can’t transfer that much money. You can give them three days to prepare.”
For a wealthy family like the Peterson family, three days were enough for them to prepare two billion dollars.

“Okay, I can give you a few more days,” Leones conceded, saying, “But the interest is 100 million dollars a day!”
“Okay…” Charles gritted his teeth and agreed.
The defeated party had no room for bargaining. It was lucky enough that they could leave alive. “After three days, if you don’t transfer the money,” Leones pointed at Ludo on the ground and said, “You two will become like him!”
Charles and Archie were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat again when they heard Leones‘ warning. They kept saying that they didn’t dare.
“Well. Take your people and get out!”
Leones waved his hand, speaking impatiently.
“Okay, okay…”
“Goodbye, Master… Goodbye, Ms. Soler…”
Charles and Archie finally breathed a sigh of relief. They commanded the rest of the goons to take the badly injured Ludo and the other unconscious goons and then left in a hurry.
They ran all the way to the foot of the mountain. Charles and Archie stopped and panted.
“Dad… Do we really have to give Leones them two billion dollars?”
Archie felt great pain at the thought of having to spend so much money. He even faintly had the

intention of reneging on the debt after he escaped from Leones‘ threat.
Anyway, the Peterson family was wealthy and powerful in Sherland. But Leones was alone. Archie was not afraid of him.
“What!? You want to renege on the debt!” Charles patted his son on the head and reprimanded sharply, “Do you still think this matter is not severe enough?”
“Ludo is a formidable master, but he was defeated by that Master in only one move!”
“Three days later, if that Master comes to find us again, there is no way for us to live!”
“Oh…” Archie sighed heavily, regretting that he came to the Soler Villa today to ask for trouble. He failed to rob but lost two billion dollars.
He was plain bad luck today.
“Just take the two billion dollars as a token of allegiance!” Charles didn’t take it to heart but even found a golden chance in this matter.
“A token of allegiance? What do you mean?” Archie was at a loss, not understanding what his father was talking about.
“I mean, the Soler family may be about to stage a comeback!”
Charles said with certainty.
“Twenty years ago, we relied on Gellert to make a great fortune. So twenty years later, we can get this golden chance and rely on the Soler family to achieve great success again.”
In the villa.
Mia had thousands of words in her heart, but she didn’t know how to start.
In the end, she expressed her attitude in only three words.
“I trust you.”
Leones nodded.

Although he was questioned by Mia, it was only a matter of time before he won her trust with his strength.
It just so happened that Charles and Archie drove this time forward.
“What do you want to do to make my family stage a comeback?” Mia asked curiously, “Has my brother told you anything?”
Leones responded, “Your brother said that you have the same talent as him and own extraordinary business ability! He asked you to assist me in rebuilding a new business empire!”
Mia’s eyes
flushed with excitement. She didn’t expect her brother to think highly of her. She was indeed a genius, possessing the ability of photographic memory. She had been learning from her brother since she was a child and was influenced by him. Now, she owned the ability to take charge of the family business. However, the Soler family collapsed before she could give full play to her talent.
What she lacked was just such an opportunity.
Leones came and could give her everything she wanted.
“The two billion dollars we just got from the Peterson family can be used as the start–up capital of the company,” Leones said.
“It’s not enough!” Mia’s expression suddenly changed as if she had transformed into a strong

woman in the business circles. Her attitude became stronger. “The Peterson family owes the Soler family, and the two billion dollars is not enough!
“In addition to the Peterson family, there are four other families. Without my brother’s support, how could those five families be as strong as they are now? They must repay brother’s favors!” Leones nodded and said, “Well. Now that there are still so many favors, we will take them back in three days!”
“Let the Peterson family inform the other four major families to come to see me together!”
With Leones‘ strong strength, Mia did not doubt that the five major families that once surrendered to the Soler family would pay homage to them again.
However, her brother couldn’t see the glory after the Soler family rose from the ashes.
“By the way.” Leones was about to go upstairs to rest when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, “What you said just now was wrong, or it was not accurate.”
“You attribute your brother’s failure to having no backer. But that’s just one of the reasons.”
“Do you know what your brother said about this?”
Mia shook her head, wondering how her brother summed up his failure.
“He said his failure was because he didn’t have enough money.”
Leones encouraged Mia.
“As long as you earn enough money, you can redeem your brother from prison in the future!
“Everything has a price. It depends on what you can afford.”
