Chapter 364: Chapter 364 - Deadly Setup
Upon hearing this, Thor Suzanne immediately replied, "Try to keep him there, I’ll bring some people over right away."
"Yes, Mr. Suzanne!" Rishi Angie responded promptly.
After hanging up the phone, Angie quietly awaited Mason Raymond’s arrival in his office.
Only a few minutes passed before I knocked on the door.
"Come in," Rishi responded eagerly.
I entered, immediately saying upon entry, "Good day, Mr. Angie, I was referred here by Miss Andrew."
Angie hurriedly got up from his desk and replied, "Oh, so you’re Mason Raymond? Please, have a seat."
Meanwhile, Angie personally pulled out a chair for me.
This politeness took me by surprise.
I thought that it was because of Zendaya Andrew’s competence that Angie treated me with such respect.
"Mr. Angie, I came here today seeking your assistance in a matter," I said, not wanting to waste time, promptly expressing my intention.
After hearing me out, Angie nodded and asked, "What can I assist you with?"
I replied, "I would like to borrow six Grandmasters from you."
"Six Grandmasters?" Angie pondered for a moment, not replying immediately.
I continued, "Of course, I wouldn’t ask for your help for free."
Having said that, I flipped my hand, and a Vitality Enhancing Pill appeared in my palm.
"This is a Vitality Enhancing Pill. It has significant benefits for cultivation, an Earth Rank Pill," I explained.
Upon hearing this, Angie’s eyes widened!
An Earth Rank Pill? Wasn’t that going a bit overboard with generosity?
An Earth Rank Pill was enough to cause quite a stir across half of Hanah!
"Mr. Raymond, you really are overly kind!" Angie exclaimed while chuckling, quickly pocketing the pill.
Although he said so, Angie was incredibly greedy. The opportunity to take advantage of the situation was irresistible for him.
"Mr. Raymond, as you may know, getting Grandmasters involved isn’t an easy task. Sometimes they don’t obey," Angie responded vaguely, hinting at something.
I was no fool; it was clear to me what Angie was implying.
Therefore, I stood up and said, "Mr. Angie, if you are willing to assist in arranging for people, I can give you a medicinal herb with effects lasting over five hundred years."
Angie’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Really?"
"Absolutely," I affirmed.
Angie couldn’t help but lick his lips.
What a wealthy young man!
"Fine then, I’ll consider helping," Angie said, blinking.
Without the slightest hesitation, I took out a five-hundred-year-old medicinal herb and handed it to Angie.
Angie was extremely delighted. He quickly pocketed the herb and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Raymond!"
I responded, "I should be thanking you."
Although a five-century-old medicinal herb is precious, it pales in comparison to the life of Jerry Sean.
Angie couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
What a fool. I take advantage of you, and you even thank me!
"Mr. Angie, the matter is urgent, let’s not waste any more time," I urged.
Angie’s expression slightly changed, and he quickly responded, "Ah, it’s not that I don’t want to loan them to you, it’s... they’re not back yet. I need to notify them."
"Would you be so kind as to help, please," I asked, my tone filled with urgency.
"Alright, alright, just hold on a moment," Angie replied.
Having said that, Angie left his office.
He reached for his phone and placed a call to Thor Suzanne.
"Mr. Suzanne, could you hurry up? The kid is pretty anxious. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold off much longer," Angie voiced his concern.
Thor Suzanne on the other line coldly said, "Don’t rush, I’ll be there in ten minutes."
"Alright!" Rishi Angie quickly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he returned to the office and said cheerfully, "Mr. Raymond, just hold on for a bit, give me ten minutes."
"Okay." I agreed.
Ten minutes, I could afford to wait.
However, I didn’t know that danger was slowly approaching me.
——
At this time, Logan Sean was waiting for good news from Thor Suzanne.
As long as Mason Raymond was captured, Mabel Sean would naturally cede their power to him.
——
Time passed by every minute and every second, and in the blink of an eye, ten minutes had already passed.
But Thor Suzanne still hadn’t arrived.
I couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Angie, will it take much longer?"
Rishi Angie was also very anxious in his heart. He quickly got up and said, "Mr. Raymond, don’t worry, he’ll be here soon."
"Come, try some of the new tea I bought. It’s really good." Rishi Angie changed the subject.
However, I was feeling a bit anxious because Jerry Sean’s situation couldn’t wait.
No one knew when Jerry Sean’s divine sense would disappear.
Another ten minutes had passed.
I stood up and said, "Mr. Angie, could you hurry him up? If you can’t help, please tell me directly."
Rishi Angie rubbed his hands together and said, "Don’t worry, he’s on his way! I...I have a good bottle of wine here, Mr. Raymond, do you want to try some?"
I was growing impatient.
I stood up and said, "Mr. Angie, as I said, this matter is urgent. I hope you won’t waste my time."
Rishi Angie looked a little awkward. Just as he was at a loss, the office door finally opened.
Then, a man in his fifties walked in from outside the door.
He was followed by five others.
Each one of them was in the Grandmaster Realm.
"Mr. Suzanne, you’ve finally arrived!" Rishi Angie breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn’t know Thor Suzanne’s intentions and politely said, "Thank you for all your help."
Thor Suzanne raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Help? Do you think I’m here to help you?"
My eyebrows furrowed slightly as I asked, "What do you mean?"
"Fool, Mr. Suzanne is here to kill you! Do you really think I would help you?" Rishi Angie hid behind Thor Suzanne, grinning menacingly.
My face turned a shade darker.
I glared coldly at Rishi Angie and said, "You really are a despicable person."
Rishi Angie sneered, "Blame yourself for being such a fool! But the pill you gave me is not bad, I won’t be polite."
I had no time to bother with this Rishi Angie.
I turned to Thor Suzanne and said, "We don’t seem to have any grudges, do we?"
Thor Suzanne stood with his hands behind him and said lightly, "Indeed, but someone wants me to kill you."
"Someone wants to kill me?" I took a deep breath.
I could tell that this Thor Suzanne was powerful, and I was strapped for time. Therefore, I suppressed my anger and said, "No matter what conditions the other party offered to kill me, I can give you an Earth Rank Pill, even a Divine Rank one."
"I just ask to be let through." I said gravely.
"Divine Rank Pill?" Thor Suzanne raised an eyebrow, clearly tempted.
A Divine Rank Pill was an absolute treasure!
Even Thor Suzanne had never seen one before!
"What do you say, if you’re not satisfied, we can negotiate further." I said.
Thor Suzanne stroked his chin and said, "Your offer is indeed attractive, but unfortunately, the other party’s background is too big. I can’t afford to provoke them."
"So...you might as well just die here!"
