“Okay, I’ll work on it right now.” Zander answered and picked up his phone to make a call.
However, Sean’s phone rang rapidly at that moment.
Sean picked it up to look. It was a long list of digits. It did not look like a phone number at all. There was no indication of where the call was from.
Sean had a hunch that the call was probably from Willow’s kidnapper.
“Hello…” Sean answered the call without delay.
“Haha. Worried, aren’t you?”
There was a sneer on the other end of the line. The voice sounded like it was processed with some special software.
“We can talk.” Sean narrowed his eyes slightly as favonovel.com got into the car
“Before we talk, let me tell you something! I called you through VoIP, so you can forget about finding my location! You will only irritate me. Your woman will suffer if I’m upset.” The man on the other line sounded triumphant.
“Got it.” Sean nodded gently but did not say anything harsh to provoke him.
“You got it? I don’t think so. Now, pull your men out at once, all of them. “Otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel.” He sneered and threatened Sean.
Sean frowned. He did not make it a big deal for fear of being noticed. It seemed favonovel.com noticed his intentions after all.
“You’re scared. This means you’re in River City.” Sean pondered for two seconds before whispering.
“Hahaha! I’m indeed scared, and I’m in River City. So what if I tell you where I am?”
“Do you think it’s faster if you get here, or it’s faster if I kill her?” The man laughed disdainfully.
“You won’t gain anything by killing her. You won’t get a penny.” Sean’s tone also became a little cold.
“I can afford it. What about you?” Sean’s threat did not concern him.
Sean instantly fell silent.
He was rarely silenced. In particular, favonovel.com had never been blackmailed when favonovel.com was in the army. However, it was now different. Sean had someone favonovel.com cared about. He cared about Willow. He could only do whatever others said and dared not act recklessly.
“I can pay you more than what Jon promised you.” Sean was silent for less than two seconds before softening his tone and saying.
“Haha, in our line of work, we keep our word. Besides, why should we risk doing business with you instead of doing it the safer way? So save your breath!”
Sean’s offer did not change his mind. Sean could not do anything about it either.
“I’m only going to say this once. Fulfill my employer’s terms. If you break the rules, don’t blame us for doing the same!” He hung up after finishing.
Sean threw the phone aside, slightly annoyed.
“Commander, what’s the matter?” Zander quickly asked when favonovel.com saw Sean’s gloomy face.
“He called and told us to stop. Otherwise, they’ll hurt Willow.” Sean slowly turned his head and looked out the window.
Willow’s safety was in their hands at this point. Sean could only compromise and give in.
Zander was aggrieved to hear that.
“Should we stop looking then?” Zander said quietly after a few seconds of silence.
“Tell Flint and the rest to stop. You and Harry should aim small.” Sean thought about it and had no choice but to ask Flint and the rest to back down.
“Okay!” Zander answered and said no more.
***
Afternoon.
Lennon Group.
Many company owners gathered here. As more people gathered here, they discovered something.
The people gathered today were all companies affected by the Zimmer family’s funding some time ago. That included the Quinn family.
“Mr. Quinn?” Everyone was surprised to see Samuel.
Lennon Group and the Quinn family were not on good terms. Therefore, they were confused when Samuel showed up here.
They also wanted to find out from Samuel why Sean called them here.
“Ahem… Mr. Lenn…” Samuel blushed and smiled politely.
Samuel was pretty low-key nowadays. He dared not behave cockily at Lennon Group after finding out Sean was the chairman of Reach For Will Group.
“Mr. Quinn, do you know why Mr. Lennon called us here?” A middle-aged man could not stand his curiosity.
“I don’t know. I came because I was informed to come.” Samuel shook his head and answered honestly.
“Gee, Mr. Quinn, the Quinn family could have been Lennon Group’s super VIPs!” A company owner suddenly smiled meaningfully.
The others nodded silently at this. Samuel blushed even more.
