His mechanical claw opened and closed, a nervous tic. "REWARD FOR CAPTURE OR CONFIRMED TERMINATION:" The number that flashed on the screen was so large it didn't look real. It looked like a phone number. "10,000,000,000 UNIVERSAL CREDITS." Ten billion. It was enough to buy this entire city. It was enough to buy a small country. It was enough to make a saint murder his own mother. "ADDITIONAL BOUNTIES: 1 BILLION PER ACCOMPLICE."

"There are three punishments for you, Uncle Louis. First, you have to pay compensation to Mommy. One billion dollars." Sky's head was pushed forward. "How much is it?" "One billion dollars." "One billion dollars?" Sky repeated in disbelief. "Didn't you say it wrong?" Summer shook her head lightly. "No." "Do you know how much that is?" "I know." Summer lowered her head.

"That's why one billion is a thousand times one million dollars. Right, Mommy?"

Clear the table. Wash dishes. Wash clothes. Dust off. Cook meals. I have a lot of use in this house and yet they call me good for nothing... Tsk..Tsk...What if I go to some distant place and enjoy a vacation? These folks will surely miss me. It's ten in the morning when all house work got done. I logged in to my account and WHOA!!! How the heck did I get $10,000,000 in my account? Did I read the zeros right? 7 zeros... That makes it 10 Million dollars right?

Paige blushed, looking at Chris. Did he understand the concept of 10 thousand?

The room is silent as any needle-dropping sound will be audible. "100 million." I am thundered by his demand. "Do you have any idea? How many zeros are there in 100 million?" Aayu's grip gets tighter on my shirt. I can feel her concern. "Is it a higher amount as per your mum's dignity?" I know him very well. He will do something for sure. "I need some time. I don't have enough money for this." I lower my voice. I invested a lot in the port and the USA branch.

She took a deep breath and accepted the envelope. When she felt the thickness , An Taotao was surprised. Judging from this thickness, it is absolutely over 10,000! Over 10,000 can be called pocket money, and the world of rich people is really terrifying. However, she suddenly calmed down as she thought of the great black card that King had given her.

"She left? Finally showed some sense. Good riddance. I'll go discuss the date for your and Gianna's bonding ceremony with the Thunder Ridge elders right away."

She clearly relied on him so much, needed his protection. Luna Anya, seeing his insistence, scoffed. "What's so impossible? She took the hundred million dollars without a second thought, you know."
