1172 Acquiring the Waltons
After Albert heard what Lucas said, his expression darkened.
He suddenly shouted angrily at his son and grandson, “You bastards, this is all your fault! Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Mr. Gray!”
Nick was shocked. He jumped off his wheelchair and knelt on the floor distressingly. “I’m sorry… Mr. Gray. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me!”
His limbs had been broken, and he was now kneeling, so it was inevitable that he strained his wound. He was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.
But at this moment, Nick couldn’t care less about the pain. If he couldn’t resolve the current trouble, he might die.
!!
Clinton was very hesitant. He felt it was embarrassing to kneel and apologize to a young man who was about his son’s age.
“What are you waiting for? Kneel down!” Albert glared at Clinton and suddenly slapped his face.
Smack!
Burning pain erupted on Clinton’s face, but facing his father’s fury, he could only grit his teeth and kneel.
“It’s my fault for bringing people over to cause trouble before finding out the cause of the matter. I hope you forgive me, Mr. Gray!” Clinton said with difficulty through gritted teeth, his face flushed.
Lucas looked down at the two people kneeling in front of him. He chuckled with raised brows and then turned to look at Albert to ask, “Mr. Walton, how do you plan to resolve the matter today?”
Seeing Lucas barely reacting to his son and grandson kneeling and apologizing, he felt even more nervous.
He took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lucas. “There’s three hundred million dollars here. Please take it as compensation for offending you and wrecking the restaurant’s entrance. What do you think, Mr. Gray?”
Kenneth was so startled that his heart pounded rapidly.
This was 300 million dollars!
Although the Parkers were now developing much better than before, it wasn’t easy for them to get 300 million dollars in liquid funds all at once.
Lucas had previously agreed to let them off for 100 million dollars. But unfortunately, Clinton rejected it. He didn’t expect Albert to offer 300 million dollars in compensation, which was 200 million dollars more than Lucas’s price.
But Kenneth was merely shocked in his heart. He knew that the person negotiating today was Lucas, and it was up to Lucas to decide whether he would accept the Waltons’ compensation.
Based on Lucas’s plan, he probably wouldn’t accept the compensation.
Sure enough, Lucas remained sitting in his seat and said indifferently, “Mr. Walton, do you want me to let the matter rest just with three hundred million dollars?”
Albert gritted his teeth and took out another bank card. “Here’s another three hundred million dollars. Six hundred million dollars should be enough, right?”
Without even looking at the bank cards, Lucas sneered. “You want to buy the lives of your son and grandson with just six hundred million dollars? Mr. Walton, that’s a little too cheap, isn’t it?
“How about this? I’ll give you three hundred million dollars in exchange for the lives of you three. What do you think?”
Then Lucas narrowed his eyes and exuded a formidable aura.
Albert was stunned and almost fell to his knees under the pressure.
Clinton and Jacky, who were already kneeling, felt as if there was a massive mountain towering over them and pressing down against them. They lay flat against the floor with cold sweat trickling down their faces.
Albert was incredibly astonished. As soon as Lust lost his temper, the aura he exuded was too terrifying!
Even he, who had experienced countless battles, felt frightened.
Albert hurriedly said, “Mr. Gray, please calm down! I made a mistake just now. I’m willing to compensate with one billion dollars. Please let the Waltons off!”
Lucas sneered. “You want me to spare the Waltons? I’ll give you three billion dollars to buy your entire family!”
Albert was stunned!
The Waltons’ total assets were more than 30 billion dollars, but Lucas said that he wanted to buy the entire Walton family for 3 billion dollars. How was that acceptable?!
This amount wasn’t enough to buy the Waltons’ most profitable entertainment company.
This wasn’t buying but daylight robbery!
Nick and Clinton, kneeling on the floor, were shocked.
How could they possibly accept the acquisition at such a low price?!
Even Kenneth and Ray, standing behind Lucas, couldn’t help gasping.
Although they had long known that Lucas wanted to acquire the Waltons, the latter would definitely not agree to this price that was less than 10% of their net worth.
At this moment, Albert was infuriated. His face trembled a little, and he finally said with great difficulty, “Mr. Gray, I’m old now. Please don’t joke with me like that. My heart can’t take it…”
Lucas smiled indifferently. “I’m not joking with you. I think I’ve made it clear enough. If you want me to let the Waltons off, you have to sell your entire family to me for three billion, or else we can forget about it.”
Albert’s expression immediately stiffened.
Before he came here, he knew that Lucas would likely demand something unreasonable from him, but he didn’t expect his motive to be to take over their entire family!
Clinton suddenly stood up and roared furiously, “Punk, don’t go too far! You’re being too much of a bully! You want to buy our entire family for just three billion dollars? Dream on!”
Nick looked extremely regretful. If he had known that Lucas was so formidable and difficult to deal with, he wouldn’t have come to take revenge for his brother.
Otherwise, things wouldn’t have escalated to this.
Now, Jacky was dead, and Albert was old. Yet he still had to stand here and bear the humiliation that a young man in his twenties was subjecting him to!
All of this could have been avoided!
Nick’s feelings of regret made his eyes turn red.
“Mr. Gray, it’s all my fault for what happened today! My younger brother, Jacky, was indeed the cause of everything, but he has already paid for his mistake with his life!
“If you’re still upset, just kill me! Please, I beg you to let the Waltons off!”
Then Nick lowered his head and pressed it hard against the floor in a humble manner.
