was smart and laughed. Mr. Carrington, it seems you misunderstood me. I'll talk money
with you, but not for those three things.
Magnus' face fell, and Keith said calmly, you know how the saying goes, an eye for an
eye. If you dare to send an assassin after me, you have to bear the consequences. Your
son needs to be disciplined.
If you don't teach him a lesson, he'll make the same mistake again next time. The three
members of the Carrington family sucked in a cold breath of air. Keith's intention was
obvious.
He wanted Blake to be held to the same conditions that the black snake had given him.
Blake collapsed onto the couch, trembling like a leaf. You've shattered Magnus' intention
to buy his way out of disaster.
Attribute point, plus one. Magnus clenched his fists, but at the sight of Keith's cold gaze,
he didn't dare look Keith in the eye. He could see the disdain in the young man's
expression, as if he, the powerful Magnus Carrington, were no more than an ant.
What kind of person would dare to look at him with such disdain? The powerful man was
afraid now. After all, no matter how rich he was, he was still just a businessman. He
knew how to talk about business, but in such a dangerous situation, he had no idea what
to do.
Keith saw that the Carringtons had frozen and sneered. Well, what is it? I'll count down
to three. If you don't decide by then, you'll just have to wait for the headlines.
Three, two, one, wait. Magnus seemed to have made up his mind. Without any further
warning, he slapped his son and knocked out one of his teeth.
Keith was slightly stunned when he saw this. He sat back on the couch and watched
Magnus hit his son. The blows reverberated around the room.
Magnus ignored his wife's cries and his son's screams. He seemed to be venting his
anger as he hit Blake over and over. By the time Magnus stopped, Blake's cheeks had
swollen up.
Keith looked at Blake, who now had several missing teeth and a blotchy red face. He
nodded and said, Mr. Carrington, you did it for the company. You're a ruthless man.
Keith walked over to one of the unconscious bodyguards and picked up the man's baton.
He threw it to Magnus and said, now the second one. You can start.
No. Blake's mom suddenly grabbed her husband's arm and cried. No, I can't bear to see
my son tortured anymore.
Don't hit him. Magnus pushed Gwen away and said angrily to Keith, I'm not as vicious as
you are. He picked up the short stick and swung it down toward his son's fingers.
Gwen screamed just as the baton was about to hit Blake's hand. A cold light flashed in
front of her eyes. A coin hit Magnus's hand and he dropped the stick as Keith played with
the other coin in his hand and said with a faint smile, I was just joking.
Why would you take it so seriously? Forget it. After all, I've known Blake for a while. His
fingers don't need to be broken.
You can pay me some compensation for the distress he caused me. And then I'll consider
the matter closed. Looking at Blake's bloody face, Keith continued, but I hope he
understands that if he dares to try to retaliate again, it won't be as simple as a few
broken fingers next time.
When Keith said this, everyone on the scene heaved a sigh of relief. Gwen's entire body
shuddered as she cried and hugged her son, who had lost consciousness. You satisfy
Magnus and Gwen's desire not to see their son's fingers broken.
Wish value, plus one. Current progress, six of ten. Magnus sat down on the couch with a
bitter smile on his face.
You son of a bitch. If you're really joking, why didn't you say something before I knocked
my son's teeth out? Magnus didn't know why Keith had decided to stop him at the last
second, but he'd saved his son's fingers. He felt a twisted sort of gratitude towards their
tormentor.
Magnus took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. How much do you want? I'll
transfer the money to you now. Keith thought for a second, and then his face darkened.
Mr. Carrington, if you transfer more than a million dollars, the bank will get suspicious.
Even now, you still want to scheme against me. I underestimated you.
Magnus was shocked that Keith had seen through his plan so easily. How could such a
young man have this level of awareness? What Magnus didn't realize was that Keith had
activated his optimal logic skill. Every word that Magnus said was analyzed by the
optimal logic in order to figure out his true motives.
You've uncovered Magnus's desire to plot against you. Attribute point, plus one. Keith's
ability to control the situation and think about the future made Magnus think twice about
playing tricks on him.
He sighed and said, All right, kid, I'll be straight with you. Right now, I can give you three million in cash. I'll give it all to you as compensation.
However, in return, you have to give me the camera in your hand. How about this matter
ends here? Keith smiled and said, You're a straightforward person, Mr. Carrington. I said
no more than one million to be wired, but nine hundred and ninety thousand shouldn't
be a problem, right? Magnus smiled bitterly and nodded.
All right, three million in cash and a nine hundred ninety thousand bank transfer. I'll give
it to you now. He turned to Gwen and said, Go and take out all the money in the safe.
Gwen nodded and looked at Keith meaningfully before heading upstairs. At the same
time, Magnus asked for Keith's bank details and transferred the other nine hundred and
ninety thousand dollars to him. Keith was surprised to see the business tycoon being so
straightforward, and he wondered if he'd asked for too little.
But he'd caused a huge ruckus in the Carrington family. He'd also gotten the money and
he'd achieved his goal of deterring further attacks. It was a good choice for him to leave
now.
A few minutes later, Gwen returned and handed Keith the duffel bag. Keith looked inside
and nodded in satisfaction before tossing the camera into Magnus's hands. He smiled
and said, You've suffered a great loss.
You won't let me go just like that, will you? Magnus wanted to say something, but Keith
waved his hand and said, You don't have to lie, but I advise you not to make an enemy of
me. It won't end well for you. Magnus shook his head and suddenly said seriously, If only
you were my son.
Keith was slightly stunned when he heard that. He stared at Magnus in silence for a few
seconds, then he turned and walked out into the darkness. Magnus, who had returned to
the room, hurriedly turned on the camera.
After watching for a while, he smiled bitterly again. There was no evidence inside.
Instead, there was the black snake and naked photos of his crew.
Magnus was confused. As a leader of the underworld, how could the black snake leave
any evidence behind? He walked to the window and looked in the direction where Keith
had disappeared. He was angry and scared.
After a moment, he seemed to have a thought of something, and his eyes flashed. You
fulfilled Magnus' wish to have the camera. Wish value plus one.
Progress seven of ten. When he returned to the hospital, Keith was in a good mood. He
hid the duffel bag with the three million dollars under his bed.
This time, besides obtaining a large amount of money, he also gained two wish values and two attribute points. After hesitating for a moment, Keith added the attribute points
to his stamina. His attributes were now as follows.
