Chapter 1562 Twenty Million
Evan, along with everyone from the Seet family, will be dead by nightfall tomorrow, regardless of the process. Juan and Davin arrived at an empty house located on the outskirts. The bodyguards there immediately walked up to them to report the ongoings.
“Mr. Zayn is inside. We brought him here after he lost consciousness. He started causing a fuss for us to let him go when he woke up.”
“Causing a fuss? He didn’t know who we are?” asked Davin.
“He had no idea. We kept our identity hidden, so he assumed we kidnapped him for ransom. He was rambling about giving us five million in exchange for his freedom. He then offered us ten and even twenty million if we’re not satisfied.”
Ten million and even twenty million…
The mention of money piqued Davin’s interest.
He was in need of money at the moment. Since someone is offering to donate, I’ll take this chance to resolve my financial situation.
“Juan, why don’t you leave this matter to me? I guarantee you that I’ll make him spit out everything he knows about the incident.”
One glimpse at Davin whose eyes were all lit up, Juan had a gist of Davin’s plan.
That greedy businessman, Desmond! Served him right for his money to be cheated off of him. Since Uncle Davin is interested, I’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.
However…
“Uncle Davin, we’re short on time. You’ll have to be quick.”
“Don’t worry. I’m aware of that. I assure you I will have the money and truth on time.”
Seeing the confidence in Davin, Juan stepped aside and temporarily let Davin take center stage.
Davin’s mind was churning up different ways to grab the twenty million. After a short while, he slowly approached the door to the room where Desmond was confined.
As he neared the door, he caught the cursing and fuss Desmond was making from inside the room.
“Idiots! You’d better let me go now, else I’ll make sure you guys regret what you did today. I’ll cut you into pieces and feed you to the sharks.”
F**k! He seems to be in a wild mood.
Davin continued to eavesdrop for a while, then turned to Harry, the bodyguard beside him. “I didn’t hear anything about him offering money? Maybe you misheard the twenty million?”
“I didn’t, Mr. Davin. Please continue to listen for a little longer.”
Davin’s ears perked up as he continued to eavesdrop.
“You f**kers! Isn’t your purpose of keeping me here for money? Just spit it out! How much do you want? I’ll agree to any amount.
“Twenty million is nothing to me, but for f**kers like you. Despite slaving your entire miserable existence away, you guys probably can’t even attain one-tenth of it. Think about it carefully. Don’t you want money?
“This deal is beneficial to you. You better accept it before my family realizes I’m missing and calls the police. By then, you won’t get any money, and your life might even be at stake. Think about it carefully.
Davin knew Desmond was planning to save his life with money.
If so…
Davin turned to Harry again and whispered something into his ear.
“Mr. Davin, are you sure about it?”
“Yes. I want you to relay the message to him word by word. Don’t worry. I’ll give you guys some tips for your efforts once I have the money.”
Joy bubbled within Harry at Davin’s words. He then asked Davin about the amount the latter would give.
Davin gave him a once-over and asked instead, “How much do you want?”
Harry pondered briefly. He was aware of Davin’s generosity, so it should be fine if he asked for a slightly higher price.
After a while, Harry naively held up two fingers.
Davin frowned in confusion. “Twenty thousand?”
Harry shook his head. “No, Mr. Davin. The amount you’re asking from Mr. Zayn is quite large. Isn’t it too little if you’re only offering twenty thousand?”
“How much is it then? Two hundred thousand?”
Harry shook his head again. He braced himself and stated confidently, “Two million.”
Davin glanced at him silently for a while, then kicked his shin. “Are you robbing me? How dare you ask for two million? When I ask for an allowance from my wife at home, I only dared to ask for a few thousand, and yet you dare to make such a request?”
“Mr. Davin, you’re planning to extract fifty million from him. The two million I’m asking for can’t even be compared to your fifty million. They all say you’re generous. So you…”
