Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 181

Penny was perplexed at his request, “Why does my husband have to wait outside?”

Richard merely grinned, “Because I don’t like having a third person when I’m discussing matters with someone. Another opinion will only complicate matters and in the end, the discussion will not be productive.”

“If Ms. Smith is not comfortable with my working style, then I don’t see the point of us even having the discussion. Please find someone better qualified for the job.”

For the sake of the three workers in critical condition, Penny could only speak to Nathan in a hushed tone, “Nathan, why don’t you wait for me outside?”

Nathan peered at Richard Steele, “Sure.”

Only Richard and Penny were left in the room after Nathan had left.

Penny took the initiative and spoke, “Dr. Steele, what’s the price I have to pay for you to operate on the three workers?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Richard Steele then raised two fingers. Penny replied, “Two million? This is quite standard with your normal charges for the riches. I can do with two million.”

He grinned wickedly, “Whoever said two million? I’m talking about two billion per surgery. Ms. Smith. Your surgery will cost six billion in total!”

Penny widened her eyes in disbelief as her voice croaked, “Six billion? Aren’t you being too unreasonable?”

Richard retorted, “Six billion is fair. You’re basically under the scrutiny of media for the construction site accident. Everyone in Channing is having their eyes on this, wondering whether the three severely- injured workers will survive.”

“I’m risking my reputation to perform the surgeries for you. Six billion is a fair price considering the risk I’m bearing.”

Penny was astounded at his justification.

Richard peered at the porcelain skin showing through her collar and grinned wickedly, “Of course, if you don’t want to pay the six billion. There’s another option for you.”

“That is if you lie down on top of the desk and have sex with me. I’ll save all three of them with no charges then.”

Penny’s face turned crimson red and gritted through her teeth, “Shameless!”

She turned around to leave afterward.

However, Richard stopped her and stared at her lustfully, “Ms. Smith, don’t rush to leave. You should keep in mind that in all of Channing, no, even in all of North, I’m the only one who can help you out.”

“If you refuse me and your three workers die from the accident, then it would be a serious construction site accident. Your company will suffer the repercussions while you as the project manager will be locked up as well.”

He added, “So my advice is, you’d better spread your legs and please me.”

Penny was about to slap him with a blatant rejection when she suddenly heard a loud thud. The reception room’s door was kicked open, and Nathan came in with a darkened expression.

Richard regarded the murderous Nathan and subconsciously retracted himself with fear. “What- What are you trying to do?”

Nathan Cross lifted his hand and slapped Samuel Steele across the face, hard.

The sheer force from the slap knocked a few of Steele’s teeth out and made him spurt blood. The momentum of the slap had even sent him flying across the room and the desk was toppled over by his weight.

Nathan stared impassively at him, “How does a perverted person like you become Dr. Rothschild’s student? I’m giving you a chance for retribution. Go to Channing Hospital later in the afternoon and apologize to me, kneeling. Or else, you’re screwed for life.”

Nathan held Penny’s hand and they left right after.

A few staff came rushing in after Nathan and Penny left. They hurriedly steadied him and asked, “Dr. Steele, are you alright?”

Half of Richard Steele’s face turned swollen from the impact, and even a few of his teeth had fallen out. It was his first time getting beaten up like this.

However, he was incensed at Nathan Cross’s remark. How dare he ask me to apologize to him while kneeling? Who does he think he is?

Steele grimaced and his face turned hideous, “I’m the only one who is able to save the three patients in all of Channing. How dare this bastard threaten me?”

“Okay, I’ll play along and go to the hospital in the afternoon. These two bitches better be prostrating themselves to me later. I will not operate on the three patients otherwise!”

Steele had harbored a more evil thought in his mind. Even if Nathan Cross and Penny Smith begged at me, I will still let the patients die.

He vowed to let Penny Smith suffer the repercussions of the construction site accident.
