“Hundred million dollars? If I may ask, what do you need such an amount of money for?” Whitman asked. Even though it was just a little amount to him, it shouldn't be the amount needed by someone like her. What would she use it for?On the other hand, Ramon also shook his head, waiting to hear the answer she was going to give. Though he dared not ask any further questions as he thought it must be a test from Harrison, even at that he couldn't help but be shocked.“I am sorry if that came out too sudden, but I require it to save my husband,” Caroline said after reading their reactions. It was expected. No one would hear that amount of money and wouldn't gasp in shock.Hearing what she said made both men curious. Help her husband? What is going on?“Can you be specific? What is going on with your husband?” Ramon asked, running impatiently as he could smell something was wrong.“He has been kidnapped,” Caroline said quickly.“What? Young-” Whitman swallowed the remaining words back after
“Where is the location?” Ramon asked.“Laver Hotel. I think it's almost time” Caroline replied.“Yes, it is. I will get my men. Also, Whitman will be here soon” Ramon replied and quickly swiped out his phone. After surfing through for a few seconds, the sounds of footsteps started approaching.Towards the door, ten men in suits stormed the place and went down on their knees in the presence of Ramon.“We came as soon as we received your text” among them, Lucas spoke.“Good. Now get the car ready. We are going to tail Caroline as she is heading towards Laver Hotel” Ramon said.“Right on it sir” Lucas stood up and ordered his men to do just as they were told. He could have gone alone with them, but Ramon called him back.“You wait… you are going to help Caroline find a taxi and also carry down the cash into the car” Ramon ordered.“Yes sir. Your wish is my command” Lucas replied looking so serious. Ramon had given all the details in the short text, and it was more than enough to get both
Inside a Rolls-Royce, Ramon sat just beside his men after ordering them to prepare their guns and wait for a signal from Caroline. Though he told her he was going to lie low, he changed his mind. He wouldn't make a mistake to let the man who abducted Harrison go away. Even if the exchange goes successfully, he had sworn to make whosoever it was, pay for what he had done. It would be inevitable to run away from his wrath. He would make sure of that.Ring! Ring!The chip he put in his ears formed a connection with that of Caroline, and her voice came through. Ramon quickly signaled his men to accelerate faster while he listened to what she had to say.“Hello, are you there?” Caroline said, trying to test if the chip was connected and was going to convey her message.“Yes, I am here. Is it a trick? Do you need me to send in my men?” Ramon said restlessly.“No! It's the cab man. He is refusing to drive into the VIP section where I will meet the man” Caroline complained.“Wait what? How d
Boom! The cab man who was speedily driving away from everything, as soon as he was outside the hotel, a few meters away, the car blew up. The massive explosion resonated the place as fire spread out leaving the car burnt to ashes.“What the heck is that?” Ramon jumped to his feet after witnessing what just happened. He was watching from a long distance with his men waiting for the right time to lunge an attack when everything turned chaotic.The cab man blew up, and it has to be that the mastermind behind this was the same person who was holding Harrison hostage.“Did he do that to cover his traces or what? That man was innocent” Lucas grunted.“This is becoming dangerous. I hate to think that Caroline is in danger now. We have to spread out and jump in” Ramon said.“I swear to god, I am going to kill that man for doing all this. What the heck?” Lucas grumbled. He was still feeling angry about what happened, as he was the same person who threatened the man, forcing him into the VIP s
Caroline was frozen in shock by how quickly the man was able to figure out she was having a chip in her ear. It was so tiny that it fit right inside her earbud, yet this man could see it.The man used his fingers to drag it out and placed it in his palm, then brought it to her eyes.“You are working with Ramon?” The man jumped to a conclusion after examining the chip and figuring out whom it must be from.Instantly, Caroline almost jumped to her feet as all that she and Ramon planned would go to waste. None of it would happen and who knows, it must have worsened the situation she was in.She could tell as the frown etched on the man's face had gone deeper, and his aura was terrifying enough.“Answer my question, woman, or else I will put a bullet into your skull” the man growled.“Yes, he lent me the money, so I can save my husband” Caroline quickly said, and the man turned offensive. He grabbed her by the neck and started choking her. The worst of the situation was that he had a smil
“What do I want? I want you to hand over that woman to me and when I am out of here safely, I will let her go” the man said, smiling. After sweating profusely for a long time, he was now calm, seeming to have the situation under control.Caroline, who heard this, shivered in fright. No words could come out of her mouth as all she could do was hide behind Lucas to save herself.“What the heck are you saying? You want us to give her to you?” Lucas picked offense.“Yes. I can't guarantee you guys will let me go, so it's better to take preventive measures. The moment I am out of here, I will let her go!” the man replied.“How sure can we be that you won't just kidnap her anyway? And how about Harrison? How sure can we be that you will let him go too?” Ramon asked.The situation was turning complicated and both sides were not ready to back down for the other. Each side thought the other was trying to use the opportunity to advantage, making things worse.From Ramon's perspective, he figure
“Huh? What did you say?” The guard replied, daring Harrison to repeat what he said.“I said you are such a prick. The only good you can do is guarding. I think you must be so weak that your boss decided to get rid of you!” Harrison repeated, aiming to rile it up, and it was working.The guard gritted his teeth tight and with his fingers balled into a fist as he glared daggers at Harrison.“He didn’t get rid of me. I just have to guard a dunce like you!” the guard sneered.“Guard? Did you just say, guard? That’s only what you are good at? I bet you don’t even know how to throw punches or use a gun,” Harrison taunted, enjoying every bit of it.“What the fuck did you just say? Or do you want me to try some punches on you?” The guard asked, daring Harrison. He was feeling pushed to the edge and wanted to prove it by breaking some of Harrison’s bones. In his head, he had started imagining it already.“Yes. It’s not like you can do shit! Why don’t you get me out of these chains, then we see
“I won’t tell you shit! I won’t sell out my boss. Never!” The guard yelled. Even though he was still shivering from Harrison’s wrath, his loyalty seemed to be firm, but Harrison thought he needed to break him to spill what he wanted.“Even in the face of death, you still want to defend your boss?” Harrison sneered.“What you can do to me can’t be compared to that of my boss. So whatever you have in mind, get it over with” the man said, admitting defeat as he saw no way to break free from Harrison.“Are you sure about that? You know, I am going to kill you!” Harrison threatened again and started choking him but didn’t press harder to make him tremble and spill what he wanted, but the man refused to.It seemed it wasn’t out of loyalty alone but more of fear. Harrison could tell endless torture would be waiting for the man if he gave out his boss.But then, Harrison wasn’t the type who would kill someone irrespective of their offense unless they had gone beyond boundaries. To him, this m
