"Uncle," Frederick snapped.

"How could you stand on this loser's side? He dares demand two hundred million from us? Why don't we just drag him out and torture him?"

"Loser? Torture me?" Alex let out a low, weary laugh and rubbed his temple as if Frederick's words gave him a headache.

He raised a single finger, his eyes narrowing. "Three hundred million. If not, I'm walking out right now to heal my emotional hurt. Goodbye."

He turned toward the door without hesitation.

"Who allowed you to come and go as you please!"

Frederick lunged for him, but before he could touch Alex, Henry's fist smashed into Frederick's face with a heavy thud that echoed through the room.

Frederick staggered back, crashing to the floor.

His eyes widened in disbelief. "Uncle... why did you hit me?"

"You useless fool!" Henry's voice thundered. His face was dark with fury.

"Every time you open your mouth, filth spills out. Get the hell out if you can't control yourself!"

"Henry, that was too much." Benjamin's voice was low, his brow furrowed with anger at seeing his son struck.

"You shut up too!" Henry's glare cut into him like a blade.

"Our father's life hangs by a thread, and the help we need is right here! Yet you two are squabbling like children. If something happens to Father, can you bear that responsibility?"

Benjamin bristled, but Henry wasn't finished. His voice shook with cold rage.

"This should've been simple. We could've resolved it without spending a dime. But your idiot son provoked him, and now the price has risen to three hundred million."

"If I let him continue, Alex might demand even more. Are you ready to pay that?"
