"Cash," the man uttered bluffingly. Brandon put a call in to the company and gave them an ultimatum to bring that mount to his location. The people at the place thought they were joking and just making a scene until they arrived in a lackluster convoy. Everyone was dressed in black suits and carrying money bags. They brought it to Brandon in the hall, where he and Madrigal were waiting. "How much do you think it is? You might need your staffs to help you start counting, Mr. Man!" Brandon yelled. The whole crowd was gazing at Brandon. Some of them took out their phones and took pictures and recorded videos of how money was being brought. "The money is here, I think we need some appear work to get things over and done with!" Brandon remaraked. He was angry and desperate."If he had this much money, why doesn't he have a plane?" One of his workers muttered. "Shut up!" the owner of the illegal company ordered. "I am Kylian Eduardo, you will have my company, come with me!""I

Can I see the manager?” Nathalie pleaded. “I’m sorry, ma’am, there are no vacancies, and you have to apply online.” The waiter added.It was time for Nathalie to leave; overstaying would only warrant her being chased out by the security guard. Nathalie broke into crocodile tears. The waiter was moved, and he asked her to come inside their kitchen. It was spacious and neat.“There were vacancies. This place operates in shifts, but you can't get in without approval from the owner." "He loved to scrutinize his workers before allowing them in.” The waiter spilled. “Who is the owner?” Nathalie asked, curiously suppressing her emotions. “He goes by the alias RAD,” he responded. Nathalie gave Brandon the update.“You mean I can't see the manager now?” Nathalie asked him

“Vanessa, think it through,” Torillio pulled over. “No keep driving, I made up my mind already!” she uttered confidently.“SO?” Torillio asked plyingly. Vanessa closed her eyes tightly and heaved a great sigh. “It's for Junior, I won't watch the little boy die!” Vanessa responded. “It doesn’t seem that way to me” Torilio responded. “It’s for him, isn’t it?” Torillio asked jealously. “Please don’t make this harder for me” Vanessa sent the details Brandon needed. He called back almost immediately. “Call your brother now, make sure he talks for at least two minutes or longer!” Brandon ordered and ended the call. Vanessa called Fredrick. He refused the call.

AT RAD'S HIDEOUT.Vanessa Jumped out of Torillio’s car and ran towards the helicopter. She MET only Marcellus in there. “Where is Brandon? is he okay?” Vanessa asked worriedly. Marcellus detached the earphone and helped her inside.“So far, yes," he responded. "Why that face?" Vanessa responded quiverily."He's been threatened. I hope he doesn't lose his son!”“How?

Esmeralda and Estrellia’s men went back to the ground floor. She took them to the place where she heard faint voices. "Don’t you think it’s a trap?" "I don’t care; Madrigal is in there." she snapped."Hide, the police are coming!" They wanted to drag her along with them to hide, but she refused.Estrellia’s men had to cover for Esmeralda as they went against the policemen while she continued the search for Madrigal.
