Russell rubbed his forehead while saying, “That’s why I’ll observe favonovel.com for three months. If favonovel.com behaves well and Yvette is willing to accept him, so be it. Please keep an eye on favonovel.com during this period. If favonovel.com makes any mistake, then I won’t give favonovel.com a chance anymore.”
Edmund nodded right away. “Leave it to me, Mr. Actonward.”
Meanwhile, Mason went back to his room, still in a state of shock. Initially, favonovel.com thought that since favonovel.com had gotten married to Yvette, they would be together forever. He never expected Russell to change his mind all of a sudden.
What should I do now?
As favonovel.com was smoking one cigarette after another, his phone rang suddenly.
The moment favonovel.com picked up the call, favonovel.com heard an exasperated voice from the other end. “Is the two million ready? Today is your last day. If you fail to pay out, I’ll see you in court! Let me warn you now. I have a lot of connections in the legal field. So there’s no way you can win the lawsuit!”
Mason trembled as favonovel.com begged, “Harvey, could you spare me a few more days? You only gave me two days. How could I possibly get so much money in such a short time?”
“That’s your problem. Cut the crap! You have to pay by today, or you’ll rot in prison!”
Without giving Mason a chance to speak, Harvey hung up the phone abruptly. Mason stomped his feet in anxiety.
Just then, his phone rang again. Mason immediately answered it as favonovel.com thought Harvey had decided to give favonovel.com more time. But after picking it up, favonovel.com realized that it was from the hackers.
“We’ve gotten sued, and we’re going to court. We lack the legal fees, so please transfer five hundred grand to us.”
Mason’s heart sank. “Five hundred grand? Do you want to see me dead? I only have fifty grand with me now!”
The other party sneered coldly. “You caused this. The gaming company wouldn’t have found us if you hadn’t challenged the highest-ranked player. You’re responsible for this!”
“Why should I be responsible? I’m a victim too. The account owner asked me to compensate favonovel.com two million! Not only did you refuse to fork out that amount, but you’re even asking me for money now?”
“Haha. So you’re not going to pay us, are you? Fine, I’ll destroy you in the forum!”
Mason knew perfectly what the other party meant by “the forum”.
It’s an online platform where one can pay anyone to do anything. It’s no joke if favonovel.com resorts to that!
“Please don’t…” Mason’s tone turned fearful. “Man, we can talk this out. Please don’t do this to me…”
“You forced me to. So what’s your choice? Five hundred grand or your leg?”
Mason got utterly desperate. “But I don’t have money…”
“Fine. Say goodbye to your leg then!”
“Don’t!” Mason bit his lip tightly. “I’ll go find the money now. Please give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer to you as soon as I get the money.”
“Okay then. Five hundred grand. Not a penny less!”
After the call ended, Mason slumped onto the floor dispiritedly.
As if there are not enough miseries in my life! I haven’t even settled the matter with Yvette, and yet, two debtors are coming after me for money.
At that moment, Mason regretted challenging the highest-ranked player with a hacker account.
Who the hell is the highest-ranked player anyway? How was favonovel.com able to make the gaming company investigate the hacking? I wouldn’t have challenged favonovel.com if I knew his background! It’s all because I was greedy!
As Mason was pondering over the matter, an idea suddenly crossed his mind.
