d a serene smile on his face: "Is that so Then I'll just wait and see how you exterminate my nine clans."As they spoke, the emperor's palanquin had come to a stop, and Tuoba was helped down by an eunu..."Let me think about that and I'll get back to you tomorrow."

Kreston didn't immediately agree to the idea. As the head of the house, he undoubtedly had more things to consider than Banks.

The Brown family was one of Apple City's four leading families. If they were driven out of town by an assassin, how could they ever return with their heads held high

The next morning, Orlando arrived at the Brown family's house early and discussed with Kreston how to proceed.

Crestfallen Head of the Kreston House, what do we do now Their assassins are too formidable, impossible to defend against. We haven't even seen one yet, but someone dies every day.

At this rate, the family foundation

will be unable to withstand it.

Needless to say, this boundless fear has become unbearable for the family members. It is feared that it will not be long before the family falls apart.

Crestton didn't immediately respond, for Orlando's predicament was not unlike the pressures that the Brown family faced themselves.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "What are you going to do"

"I think the most urgent thing is to reconcile with Ye Bufan as soon as possible, and end this war with invisible enemies. Otherwise, the price we pay will be too great."

Orlando, having finished speaking, turned to Creston, a silent wave of relief washing over him. He was grateful that Ye Bufan hadn't targeted his family alone. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get him on board with his proposal.

"Alright, then go. Try your best to secure benefits for both our families."

As expected, even a powerful figure like Creston had to temporarily abandon his stance under immense pressure.

Okay, I'll go now.

Having obtained the other party's consent, Orlando wasted no time and hurried towards the Lawrence family's castle.

Inside the Lawrence family hall, George, Philip, and Lu Banxia were seated together.

"Father, I just received news that prominent members of the Brown and Field families were attacked again last night."

Fei Li's delicate cheeks were flushed with excitement, "According to the information from our people, the enemy assassin is elusive. Despite both families mobilizing their strongest forces for protection, they haven't even seen a shadow of him."

Even with their tight defense, they still had two important members killed.

Now both the Brown and Field families are under immense pressure, their members on the verge of breaking down, because no one knows who will be next to die.

"Brother Ye is really amazing!" Lu Banxia exclaimed excitedly upon hearing the news, "At this rate, I think it won't be long before they come to our door begging for peace…"

George was shocked to his core. He never imagined that Ye Bufan could, single-handedly, bring both influential families to their knees. This was terrifying power.

But just then, the butler rushed in: "Master, Orlando from the Field family requests an audience."

"You're quick," George said. "Bring him in here to see me."

The butler replied with a nod and went out. Lily exclaimed excitedly, “I never expected things to turn around so quickly. Just the other day they were playing games with us, and now they're begging us for peace.”

George said, "The key is that Doctor Ye's tactic is really brilliant. He told them they had to kill one person every day, and they couldn't stop it. This kind of pressure is unbearable for anyone."

A few people were talking, and the butler led Orlando in from outside.

"Dear Mr. George, I have come to visit you."

After seeing a few people, Orlando immediately walked over with a smile.

On the contrary, George seemed much more aloof. He waved dismissively for the other to sit down and said, "Orlando's Head, what brings you to my place today"

Fei Li playfully eyed Orlando's panda eyes: "Mr. Orlando, you don't seem to be doing so well."

"Haven't you been staying up late again Let me tell you, staying up late is bad for you, especially for someone your age. It can really harm your health."

"Uh... well, I'll be more careful in the future. You know, as we get older, sleep doesn't always come easy."

Orlando, as always the old fox, didn't react much to Phillie's taunts.

George asked, "Mr. Orlando, I heard that there have been many deaths in your Field family recently. How do you have time to come here"

"Uh..." Orlando also knew that it wasn't time to hide now, so he got straight to the point. "Mr. George, actually, the reason I'm here is to talk to you about Mr. Ye Bufan."

After you left that day, I thought about it carefully. Doctor Ye wasn't really responsible for this. The whole thing with Barkley was a complete misunderstanding.

"I think it's best for both of us to discuss this, after all, we're both in Apple City, what could be bad about discussing things here Don't you think so"

George's lips curled into a sneer: "I remember you didn't say it that way back then. Barkley was your most beloved grandson, the prodigy of your Field family. Now that he's dead, you're furious and unwilling to negotiate."

Orlando swallowed hard, these words were his go-to lines for the day, he didn't expect them to be thrown back in his face so quickly.

There was no way out. Faced with Ye Bufan's invisible, formidable sword, he had no choice but to bow his head and submit.

"Mr. George, I later realized the error of this thought. People are gone, there's no need to dwell on this matter, it's best to resolve it as soon as possible. So, I'm willing to negotiate with you."

George broke into a strange smile. "Well, I'm the type who believes in harmony leading to prosperity. Everything is better settled through discussion and negotiation."

"Yeah, we all live in Apple City. We bump into each other all the time. What's there not to discuss"

Orlando, seeing the other party agree to negotiations, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “My demands that day were indeed a bit high. How about this, we just want a share of Angel Pharmaceutical, and we’ll forget about that 10 billion dollars.”

George looked at him intently. "Orlando, have you found out what Angel Pharmaceuticals is worth"

"Um...about...about 100 billion dollars or so."

Even with Orlando's thick skin, he was a little embarrassed to say that number.

George said coldly, "Well then, what do you think your grandson Buckley is worth Even if he were made of pure gold, I doubt he'd be worth this much."

"Well, uh, Lord George, aren't we discussing this" Orlando stammered. "See, how about this We only want 50% of the shares..."

Phili glanced at him sarcastically. Even now, this old fox still wanted to drive a hard bargain.

"Orlando, to be honest with you, Doctor Ye already has the terms of the deal worked out."

"Oh!"

Orlando felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. It seemed the other party had anticipated that he would eventually have to yield.

He asked dryly, “What does Mr. Ye say”

Fei Li said, "One hundred billion dollars, a manor, ten luxury cars, at least over ten million each."

Orlando hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "This condition is indeed a bit low, but in order to show our sincerity, the Field family agrees."s. You'd better take her away quickly.Qingyebu has nothing to do with you. I'm enough to stay here alone.Ye Bufan smirked: "You're mine too, if you're leaving let's leave together.""Nonsense, what do...
