The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4505

So, his expression softened a little, and he smiled as he said, "Mr. Long, you are truly courageous! I appreciate that!"

Shawn snorted and said, "Mr. Star, why don't you tell me what your final offer is directly, then?"

Solomon nodded and said, "Mr. Long, I will not speak in circles. I will settle this matter with you for five million US dollars."

Shawn frowned and then pointed at both Marianne and Charlie as he said loudly, "I can give you five million US dollars, but I will have to take them both away."

Solomon laughed out loud. "Haha! Mr. Long, you might not understand the situation, but the reason why you're here is to solve your daughter's problem. The reason why you're asked to solve your daughter's problem is because your daughter is not the main culprit in this matter. So, I decided to give you a chance to resolve this conflict for your sake."

Having said that, Solomon pointed his finger at Charlie and said coldly, "As for this kid, you will not be able to take him away today no matter how much money you pay because I want his life!"

Shawn felt his scalp tingling when he saw Solomon's killing intent.

He could see that Solomon really wanted Charlie's life.

However, if something were to truly happen to Charlie in Hong Kong, Shawn's collaboration with Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group would probably be permanently shut off.

So, he hurriedly said to Solomon, "Mr. Star, the reason why I came here today is to solve the problem with you entirely. So, why don't you name a price directly and tell me how much it will cost for me to take them both away? At most, I will give you more money!"

Solomon knitted his brows and then

said coldly, "This is no longer about

money. He kidnapped my god-grandson and said those bold

words to me earlier. How can continue being a leader in the underground world in the future if I let him go just like that?!"

Shawn realized the seriousness of the problem, and he quickly said, "Mr. Star, Charlie is new here, and he e is not familiar with the situation in Hong Kong. So, he might have been a little rude to you. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please let him go on may account! I will give you ten million US dollars instead!"

Solomon had already negotiated with Rudy for sixty million US dollars within three years. So, how could he be moved by Shawn's mere ten million US dollars?

Furthermore, Solomon had nothing to lose by letting Marianne go. On the contrary, as the leader of the Order of the Star, the whole of Hong Kong would despise his actions if he did not let a girl like Marianne off. Therefore, Shawn paying millions of US dollars to redeem Marianne was like a windfall for him. He could buy himself a few Rolls-Royces at the very least.

However, if he were to let Charlie go today and word about this got out to the public, he would really lose his reputation.

So, he looked at Shawn and said

coldly," Mr. Long, I'm already being very gracious by letting you take your daughter away for just five million US dollars. If you are sensible and know what is best for yourself, you should write a cheque for five million US dollars and take your daughter out of here immediately. Don't blame me for changing my mind if you're ignorant!"

Shawn also realized that Solomon definitely would not agree to let Charlie off. He was afraid that there was no way for him to save Charlie anymore.

The moment Charlie perished in Solomon's hands would be the moment his collaboration with Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group would also definitely be ruined. So, there was no need for him to continue staying here to risk his own safety and that of his daughter.

As he thought of this, he gritted his teeth and said to Solomon, "Okay! Five million US dollars it is! I will write you a cheque now!"

When Marianne heard this, she knew that her father had already given up on Charlie, so she said without any hesitation, "You can go by yourself if you want to leave. I will stay here to accompany Charlie!"
