Chapter 1323 Old Fox Orlando

"Father, what should we do? We won't offend the Lawrence Family because of this, will we?"

Robbie was a little nervous. After all, the Lawrence Family was well-known and not something a second-rate Family like theirs could provoke.

"Don't worry, don't we have the Brown Family backing us? What is there to be afraid of?"

Orlando, on the other hand, was indifferent. "Now our Family is the victim. Barkley is dead, so even the Lawrence Family can't go too far.

Just stay by my side later. Don't do anything, just act sad."

"Understood, Father."

Robbie's excited expression vanished, replaced by a look of sorrow.

A few minutes later, the two of them arrived at the Field Family's hall, where George and others were already waiting.

"Mr. George, thank you for waiting."

Orlando, who had just been full of vigor, now put on a senile appearance, his Face filled with immense sorrow.

Robbie followed behind him, also looking incredibly mournful and particularly sad.

"Mr. Orlando, it's good to see you."

George didn't know what to say for a moment, after all, someone had just died in the other party's Family, and it was a core member.

After a few polite exchanges, Orlando said, "Mr. George, something just happened in our Family. My most beloved Grandson was beaten to death by an arrogant Huaxia man, which has left me heartbroken.

You know my health has always been poor, and encountering such a thing, I can't stay with you here for long. It's truly impolite…"

This old fellow was indeed an old fox. He immediately put himself in the position of a weak person.

"That… Mr. Orlando, I came for this very matter…"

At this point, George could no longer beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose, finally saying, "Mr. Orlando, it is indeed very sad that such a thing has happened.

However, I've looked into it, and Dr. Ye had no intention of doing anything to Barkley. This was entirely an accident.

There is no enmity between the Field Family and him. I think we can discuss this matter.

Firstly, I apologize to you on behalf of Dr. Ye, and at the same time, I am willing to offer compensation, hoping to gain your Family's understanding."

"No, no, no… This kind of thing is unforgivable. Barkley was my most beloved Grandson, and he is now dead. Our Family is all very sad.

None of us want any compensation. All we want is for that arrogant Huaxia man to pay the price."

After listening to Lu Banxia's narration, George also realized this was just a ploy and secretly cursed the other party for being an old fox.

They clearly wanted to demand an exorbitant price, yet they put on a facade of not accepting compensation.

But there was no other way. When under someone else's roof, one has to bow their head. In order to rescue Ye Bufan as quickly as possible, George could only lower his posture.

"Mr. Orlando, I've already said that this was truly an accident. Dr. Ye didn't know Barkley at all and had no motive to kill him. I think we should still talk, as it will be good for both sides."

"Alright then, since Patriarch George has spoken, our Field Family cannot refuse you this Face."

Orlando also knew that if he acted too excessively, it might backfire. At a critical moment, he should still state his demands.

George was secretly delighted: "Patriarch Orlando, let's get straight to the point. What conditions do you require to reach an understanding with Dr. Ye and not pursue his responsibility?"

Normally, murder is a serious crime, and even if both parties reach an understanding, it's impossible to completely escape responsibility.

But the current situation was different. As long as the Field Family no longer pursued the matter, George would be able to bail Ye Bufan out.

"Mr. George, to be honest with you, Barkley was my most beloved Grandson, and he was very capable. If it weren't for this accident, I was planning to pass on the position of Patriarch to him in a few years."

Orlando looked incredibly sad as he said this, two lines of old tears streaming down his cheeks.

Robbie stood behind him, secretly feeling inferior, thinking that in terms of acting, he was still far behind his Father.

George didn't speak. He knew that the other party's posture was entirely a prelude, intended to demand more compensation later.

As expected, Orlando continued, "Barkley's death is a huge loss to our Field Family. If you want to compensate us, we can accept it, but our Family has two conditions.

First, his Angel Pharmaceuticals must be completely transferred to our Field Family's name. Second, an additional 10 billion usd in compensation."

"This…"

After Orlando finished speaking, George and the others all changed their expressions.

Although they had long been prepared for the other party to demand an exorbitant price, they never expected Orlando's appetite to be so enormous.

If it were just 10 billion usd, the George Family would still be willing to pay it, as they had the financial strength and were extremely grateful to Ye Bufan.

However, Angel Pharmaceuticals was worth hundreds of billions, and it belonged to Ye Bufan. None of them could make that decision, not even Lu Banxia.

George's expression darkened: "Mr. Orlando, don't you think your demands are a bit excessive?"

"No, no, no, I don't think this condition is excessive at all." Orlando waved his hand and said, "Barkley was my most beloved Grandson and the most outstanding Family heir, but now he's dead.

Human life is priceless. I don't think these are enough to compensate for our Family's loss. The only reason I agreed to a settlement is out of respect for Mr. George's Face."

George wished he could go up and strangle this fat pig. He was clearly demanding an exorbitant price, yet he still wanted to make it seem like he was doing George a favor.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, "Mr. Orlando, I think you should change your conditions. I can give you more money, up to 20 billion usd.

But the shares of Angel Pharmaceuticals are out of the question. That is Dr. Ye's property, and not a single bit can be given."

"If that's the case, then we have nothing to discuss."

Orlando spread his hands. He was completely fearless now. Ye Bufan was imprisoned in a maximum-security prison, so the other party should be the one anxious.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before these people, upon receiving a distress message from inside, would agree to his terms.

George said coldly, "Orlando, think carefully. This is making an enemy of our Lawrence Family."

"Patriarch George, our Field Family is targeting Ye Bufan, and it has nothing to do with the Lawrence Family. However, if you insist on making an enemy of our Family, then there's nothing we can do."

Although Orlando feared George, with the Brown Family backing him, he wasn't particularly flustered.

"Alright then, let's go."

George finished speaking, waved his hand, and led everyone away from the Field Family.

Inside the maximum-security prison, time passed bit by bit. As midnight approached, the inmates in the cells had all fallen asleep.

Ye Bufan sat up from his bed. With imperceptible movements, he flicked his fingers repeatedly, and streaks of True Qi struck the sleeping points of the inmates. At this moment, even if the sky fell and the earth collapsed, they wouldn't be able to get up.

He then walked into the restroom, which was a blind spot for surveillance, and with a thought, summoned Erlang from the Dragon King Palace.

He had prepared a substitute for himself, and he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon. He used his Divine Thought to direct Erlang back to his bed, where he lay down and continued to sleep.
