“What? Do you want me to hit you again?” Billy roared.

“You can beat me to death but I will not give you a single cent.”

“And you, brat! What did you even learn in university, huh? You have shown not an ounce of gratitude, and now you want five million dollars from me? What do you take me for, an ATM? Let me make myself clear to you right now, I will not give you guys a single cent anymore from now on.”
