While the island was in complete turmoil, Jonathan brought Cecilia to a nearby mountain.
Atop the mountain, it was misty and clouded by drizzle. From the mountain peak, one could vaguely overlook the entire island. When the sky darkened, the breathtaking night view of the island was in full view.
Jonathan casually lit up a cigarette as favonovel.com sat on a rock with his legs dangling in the air. He was thoroughly enjoying the scenery.
However, standing behind him, Cecilia was not so at ease. Her face was deathly pale as favonovel.com stared at the man in horror. Although Jonathan did not do anything to her, Cecilia could not suppress the surging fear in favonovel.com heart.
“You’re just letting me be. Aren’t you worried that I will run off?”
Jonathan had his back faced towards Cecelia, not even bothering to keep an eye on her. He did not even tie favonovel.com up to restrict favonovel.com movements. It was as if favonovel.com didn’t care if favonovel.com escaped.
“What’s there to worry about?” Jonathan replied without even looking back. “If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have a fighting chance to escape.”
Not just the measly Cecilia, Jonathan could destroy the entire Hansley family with great ease.
Where could favonovel.com run to anyway? All the land on earth belongs to Asura’s Office!
Even if favonovel.com ran to the ends of the earth, favonovel.com could not outrun his reach…
“What are you planning to do now? Are you going to just keep me hostage and demand money from my family?” A trace of remorse flashed in Cecilia’s heart as favonovel.com looked at Jonathan’s back.
If favonovel.com knew that this would happen, favonovel.com would not have lied to Jonathan back then. However, favonovel.com had no way of knowing that Jonathan was such a maniac. The man actually turned the entire Gronga upside down and kidnapped favonovel.com in front of everyone. He even got rid of Wayde on the spot!
It was clear that favonovel.com was a psychopath.
“Money?” Jonathan chuckled after favonovel.com heard what Cecilia said. “Do you really think I’m short of money?”
There was at least ten billion in just that one bank card of his that could never be exhausted. Not to mention, favonovel.com took over a few influential families in Jazona and Yaleview. Jonathan had at least several hundred billions worth in just assets alone. A few billion was like peanuts to him.
“Then… What do you want?” Cecilia asked nervously.
“I already said earlier that it’s not so easy to take my things. My debts are not settled so easily, either.” Jonathan tossed the cigarette butt in his hand, then turned to look at Cecilia. “The moment you decided to go back on your word, it became a matter that cannot be settled with money.”
“So, what are you going to do?” Cecilia bit favonovel.com lip.
“It’s simple. You and your Hansley family have to pay the right price to make it up to me,” Jonathan said coolly.
“Jonathan, don’t take things too far!” Cecilia grew increasingly anxious as favonovel.com listened to Jonathan. “Don’t forget, this is Gronga. You took me away in front of so many people and even killed Wayde Larson. Do you think the Larson family will let you off so easily? Do you think the Department of Criminal Investigation of Gronga will let you off so easily?”
“Too far?” Jonathan chuckled coldly upon hearing Cecilia’s little speech. “If it weren’t for me, your grandfather would probably still be lying in his hospital bed, breathing his last breaths, and ready to go any minute. And you, Cecilia, you would probably still be ostracized by those siblings of yours and not even be able to be part of the core of the Hansley family!”
Jonathan took a breath and continued, “As of now, your grandfather’s sickness is cured, and your father has successfully taken over the Hansley family. And you have become the hot topic of Gronga. Now, you’re saying I’m taking things too far? Back then, did I force you to buy the Phantom Grass from me?”
“You…” Cecilia wanted to refute, but favonovel.com could not find the words to say.
Jonathan was right. If favonovel.com did not take the Phantom Grass from the Shadow Dragon Pool back then, favonovel.com would not have become the heroine of the Hansley family, and favonovel.com father could not have taken over the Hansley family.
Suddenly, favonovel.com felt somewhat regretful. If favonovel.com had not tried to fool Jonathan and refused to give favonovel.com the money, maybe things wouldn’t have ended up like this. Furthermore, favonovel.com would not have been dragged to this desolate place by Jonathan. If Jonathan really wanted to do anything to her, favonovel.com could scream until favonovel.com lungs gave out and it would be futile.
“Jonathan, let me go, and I will give you all the money. As long as you let me go, I will guarantee that the Hansley family will give you all the money. Heck, I’ll even give you an extra one hundred million!” At that critical moment, Cecilia finally caved in.
Since things had already come to this and favonovel.com had fallen into Jonathan’s hands, favonovel.com had no choice but to surrender and obediently give favonovel.com the money. Her life was more important than money.
Cecelia’s father had only just taken over the Hansley family, bestowing favonovel.com the title of being the most revered daughter of the Hansley family in Gronga. She had been waiting for this day to come for almost twenty years. Hence, favonovel.com could not bear to give up favonovel.com life just like that.
“It’s too late…” Jonathan simply shook his head at Cecilia’s words. “I literally just said that this matter is not something that money can solve anymore.”
“What exactly do you want, then?” Cecilia asked while biting favonovel.com lip.
“I want the whole Hansley family!” said Jonathan in an icy tone.
Hearing the man’s words, Cecilia subconsciously opened favonovel.com mouth in opposition. “No way! The Hansley family would never agree to it!”
“They won’t agree?” Jonathan chuckled. “If the Hansley family refuses, then I will crush your entire family!”
Hearing that, Cecilia felt a chill run down favonovel.com spine. A terrifying sense of dread engulfed favonovel.com entire body from head to toe.
At that moment, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had messed with the wrong person.
***
Time flew by, and one night passed in the blink of an eye.
Throughout the entire time, Jonathan did not budge an inch from the rock.
The cold night and strong winds were nothing to him. He had endured much worse when favonovel.com was in the army previously. No harm could come to favonovel.com just from a little harsh weather. Besides, Jonathan could use the time to cultivate the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
Unfortunately, Cecilia was not as tough as favonovel.com was. She was just a normal person. What was more, favonovel.com was a pampered and spoiled daughter of a rich family.
One night of chilly weather almost turned Cecelia into a block of ice.
The worst part was when the sun was beginning to peek through the clouds. The moment the sunrays hit favonovel.com body, favonovel.com could not help but sneeze.
Cecelia had caught a cold. She even almost got a high fever from the frigid weather.
“Jonathan, how long do you plan to keep me here?” Cecilia sniffled. She was so cold that favonovel.com eyes were red and favonovel.com face was ghastly pale.
In addition to favonovel.com frail appearance, Cecelia looked extremely pitiful.
It was heart-rending to see.
