“Sir… Sir, I’m sorry. Please… Please forgive me.” David was bruised all over, but favonovel.com kept begging for mercy.
Suddenly, someone walked in and reported, “Mr. Xander, there’s someone here claiming that favonovel.com brought the money to ransom that brat.”
“Bring favonovel.com in.”
“Okay…”
Yoel was led into the basement by several of Xander’s subordinates. He noticed David tied from the ceiling and bruised everywhere from getting a beating.
Immediately, his legs went weak, and favonovel.com almost fell to the ground. However, when favonovel.com thought about getting Thea as his after getting David out, his courage immediately skyrocketed. Moreover, there were plenty of rumors about Xander. Yoel knew that favonovel.com was someone loyal to his friends and would not cause trouble recklessly.
He approached Xander who sitting on a chair, took out a cigarette, and handed it over.
He bent over and smiled, “Hello, Mr. Xander. My name is Yoel from the Smiths. My father is York Smith. You’ve had dinner with favonovel.com before.”
Xander smiled and muttered, “Ha… So you’re York’s son. That’s right. I did have a few meals with your dad before, and we’re acquainted. However, this boy is very arrogant. He bumped into me and disrespected me. People will think I’m incompetent if word spreads that I didn’t teach favonovel.com a lesson.”
“Mr. Xander, favonovel.com should be taught a lesson, but this brat’s sister is my woman. Seeing that my father is a friend and I personally came here, could you…”
Xander’s face darkened, and favonovel.com grabbed Yoel’s hair. “Your father? A friend? Who does your father think favonovel.com is? Even if favonovel.com came in person, I wouldn’t be letting this brat go so easily. I already said it’ll be eight million to redeem him.”
The only reason Yoel dared to come alone was that favonovel.com knew Xander stayed true to his word. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have never dared to come even if favonovel.com had ten lives. He thought favonovel.com would not have to pay the money if favonovel.com gave his father’s name. In order to get Thea, favonovel.com would have to spend some money.
“Mr. Xander, calm down. Of course I brought the money. I’ll give you it, but… Considering my dad’s relationship with you, could we maybe negotiate the amount?” Yoel asked tentatively.
Xander immediately let go of Yoel “Fine, I’ll give you a discount Five million.”
The Smiths were a considerable household and had a certain amount of influence. Although favonovel.com was not afraid of them, favonovel.com did not want to cause too much trouble, especially with the Blithe King’s recent succession. He compromised and reduced the ransom from eight million to five million.
Yoel’s heart was bleeding. Although his family was rich and five million was just a drop in the bucket, the money was not rightfully his. Five million was his pocket money for a month. However, favonovel.com was willing to sacrifice a bit for Thea.
He nodded and said, “Alright, Mr. Xander. Five million it is. I’ll transfer it directly to you, right?”
“Yes, make a direct transfer.” Xander nodded, then pointed to a subordinate standing beside him.
“You, take favonovel.com to make the transfer.”
“Okay.” The subordinate nodded and led Yoel to make the transaction.
Soon, Yoel returned to the basement after making the transfer.
David was immediately released. However, favonovel.com lost consciousness after being detained and hung up after getting a beating.
“Mr. Xander…” Suddenly, a subordinate hurriedly rushed over with a flustered expression. “W-we have a problem! Someone charged in and beat up a lot of our men!”
“What?!” Xander was furious.
This was the Prosperous Dynasty. Everyone knew that this was his property. Who dared to cause trouble in his territory?
“Who is it?”
“Me…” A voice rang out.
As the voice spoke, some men with iron rods and machetes chased after favonovel.com into the basement.
Xander turned and saw an unfamiliar face that had beaten up his subordinates. Some subordinates kept retreating. He was at the Prosperous Dynasty and had hundreds of men and security guards guarding the place, yet this person could fight his way here. He definitely was not someone easy to deal with.
Xander reached out and touched his weapon around his waist.
He was furious and said coldly.” Who are you?”
He was extremely careful to get to where favonovel.com was. He feared that favonovel.com would offend an influential figure and accidentally ruin whatever favonovel.com had fought for all his life.
“James.” An indifferent voice echoed.
