Marvin sneered disdainty, “Two Hunter Coins going up against one bition Hunter Coinst That’s not even a contest. It’s e scratch that. Two hundred Hunter Coins ‘t even worthy of being the crumbs left babind.”
Nolan couldn’t help but jump in. “You guys are seriously going too fart Why are you all ganging upon it’s not like Sharon in the Coins. The Pierce family has them too, you know”
Karen suddenly threw herself into his arms and said tesfully, “Oh, Nols, I swear I’ll pay you back one day?
The moment Susan saw that, her face turned utterly grim. She famed inwardly. This shameless tramp. Who the hell said you could borrow anything from unt
Richard let out a sharp laugh. “Well, do us a favor and show off a few of those Hunter Coins you supposedly have then.”
Wallace added coolly, “What do you think, Mrs. Susan Pierce? The Pierce family must have a fair bit tucked away too, right? Would it add up to a hundre million Hunter Couns?”
Susan’s face went through every shade of awkwardness. She was speechless, because, honestly, they were nowhere near that number.
Completely oblivious, Nolan kept pressing. “Just show them, Mom: Let them see.”
Susan couldn’t hold back any longer. She kicked him and snapped, “Get lost already! I don’t want to see your face. And starting today, your cards are frozen. Don’t even think about touching any of the family’s Hunter Coins again.”
Nolan gasped, “Why?”
“Because you don’t have what it takes yet. If you want to play hero, go figure out how to earn your own Hunter Colm, Nolan,” Sun retorted, determined not to let Karen get her way.
Marvin rubbed his chin and said, “Oh wow, it turns out Mr. Nolan Pierce is broke. Then what were you acting all high and mighty for? My sister is sitting on one billion Hunter Coins. You got that? Does the Pierce family have that?”
Nolan was left totally speechless. The Pierce family didn’t have that much, and he sure didn’t either. It was common knowledge that Hunter Coins were hard to earn, which was exactly why they were worth so much
Marvin scoffed, “So you’ve got nothing, huh? Then what are you protending to be in charge for? Get out of the way already. No one cares what you have to say.
“Forget Karen, even you aren’t fit to hold a candle to Shari. She is worth a billion Hunter Coins. You couldn’t make that much in ten lifetimes!”
He repeated “one billion Hunter Coins” over and over, until Susan started to feel a little lost. “One billion Hunter Coins? What are you talking about exactly?” she asked.
Susan thought, “I did hear something about a hundred million Hunter Coins bounty on the Hunter Forum tied to the Vance family… and there was talk it might be connected to Sharon somehow.
‘But I always figured it
it was the Baxter family pulling strings behind the scenes. Now I’m not so sure anymore.
Marvin raised an eyebrow, asking. “You haven’t seen the forum bounty?”
“I have,” Susan replied, “Wasn’t it the Baxter fandly who posted the reward?”
Nicholas answered seriously, “it wasn’t”
Susan drew in a sharp breath. “That can’t be right.”
Edward stroked his beard with a faint smile. “I wish it were me, but Shari never gave me the chance to help. Can’t really blame her. She

Susan stared straight at Nolan and ordered, “You. Come here now. I’ve got some questions for you!
She hadn’t been so furious about Johnson landing in the hospital, she wouldn’t have listened to Nolan and ended up walking right into this mess
Nolan rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “Well, Johnson was hurt, and… I didn’t really catch everything at the time.
Susan was fuming, her heart pounding with frustration. “Take him back and fuck him up. Just seeing him gets on my n

Nolan blurted out, “Mom, I’m not leaving I want to stay with you, just in case the Vance family tries anything.”
Susan scoffed, “As if. You just don’t want anyone picking on your precious Kari. Now get lost! This isn’t your business
This time, she steeled herself, thinking. I’m not letting Nolan and Karen get tangled up together again. Who knows how that’ll end? if Sharon says she‘ kill someone, she won’t think twice about it‘
Once Nolan was dragged out, the whole room finally felt peaceful.
Susan took a moment to collect herself, Just as she looked up at Sharon, someone stepped in and blocked her view. Marvin, annoyingly smug, said, “One billion Hunter Coins, Mrs. Pierce. Jealous?”
Meanwhile, Malcolm stood quietly with a blank face. He pondered, “if these people know who Shari really was, they’d probably have their eyes popping out of their skulls. A billion Hunter Coins? That’s pocket change to her.”
Susan blinked as she thought, “Unbelievable. I’ve never seen anyone flaunt their money

Suddenly, Karen pushed herself up off the ground and lunged at Sharon, a sharp dagger in hand. “Go to hell, Sharon!”
