Chapter 72 Haha, I’m Happy Now
Nolan Windham was quite depressed and closed the group, but after thinking a bit, he sent a separate chapter.
“Dear Deity Tycoon, I’m sorry! It’s not that I don’t want to add more updates! But I truly don’t have 300 more chapters to give! All of my available drafts have been released! From now on, I can only do 3 additional chapters every day and gradually make up the rest! I just hope I can fulfill this! Please forgive me! Can you other big lords who donate give me some chance to breathe?” Having made his plea, Thanatos Windham returned to his arduous yet joyous task of writing.
“Haha!” Seeing what the author had to say on the computer screen, Finn Lewis couldn’t help but burst out laughing. All his frustration vanished, replaced by an instant wave of delightful feelings!
After reading the author’s newest dozen or so chapters, he casually flipped through other books and found a book reportedly written by a girl called “Nine-Turn Chaos Technique”. Although the plot was a bit clichéd, the writing was pretty good. He tipped the author twenty or thirty, it seemed this girl also added a chapter for every single tip. But this time, Finn Lewis did not tease her, after all, girls do have their privileges.
After reading a few novels, Finn Lewis grew a bit tired and happily went to sleep, seeming to forget that a struggling author was burning the midnight oil composing chapters.
The next morning, Finn Lewis surprisingly woke up early. This was not voluntary; Fishy and the others needed to withdraw the cash first. Unable to keep still at home, Lewis phoned Fishy and her friends, and once he knew the location, he drove straight there. It took quite a while just to count the 5 million in cash. Even though Fishy and her friends had already made the appointment and the bank was keen to assist as soon as it opened, it still took them more than two hours. It wasn’t until 10 a.m. that Finn and the others finally got the money.
At 11 a.m., Finn received the awaited phone call. “I have got the money, where are you?” Finn picked up the phone and asked something straight away.
“Very good, Mr. Lewis is indeed a man of his word. Now, drive to Nature Road. When you are on Nature Road, we will call you.” The caller hung up straight away.
Without wasting any time, Finn drove off to Nature Road. He had already asked Fishy Wells and Julia Parker to go back. The place where Finn was getting the money wasn’t far from Nature Road. He drove there rather quickly and waited for about ten minutes when his phone rang again.
“Now, Mr. Lewis, please get out of your car and head to the bus stop in front of Bright Light Building.” The caller then promptly hung up again.
Finn parked his car by the roadside and looked up the location of Bright Light Building on his phone before heading off. Five million is a significant number, and quite heavy, probably around fifty kilos or so. Fortunately, all the banknotes were new, so Finn Lewis could fit them all in one large hiking bag he was carrying.
However, carrying such a giant camping bag was bound to draw attention.
Luckily Finn was much stronger now, so carrying the bag was relatively easy for him. If it were before, he might have found it daunting.
Just a short while after Finn reached the bus stop, his phone rang again. Clearly, some eyes were on him. He looked around but couldn’t spot anyone. He said with a gloomy face: “Are you joking with me?”
“Hehe, certainly not, Mr. Lewis. You should know, we are taking a significant risk for this money, so we must be careful. Now, if you want to see this little girl safe, go left towards the mall.” The man on the phone chuckled laughingly.
Finn said coldly: “You better not play with me, or you’ll learn how severe the consequences could be.”
“Rest assured, as I have said, we are only after the money.”
After hanging up, Finn spotted the mall and immediately walked towards it. Despite it being midday, the mall was bustling, and for various reasons, there was an influx of people coming and going, the crowded scene could only be described as a sea of people.
By selecting such a place, the kidnappers had shown strategic intelligence. If they had selected a remote location, Finn might have alerted the police and directly confronted them. Hence, a busy city street was their preferred choice. Finn soon reached the mall. He looked around but couldn’t find anyone. His phone rang again, and he picked it up immediately: “Hello?”
“Mr. Lewis, very good, you keep your promises. Now, go up the pedestrian bridge on the second floor.” The voice on the other side continued.
“Are you ever going to stop this?” Finn sneered.
“Mr. Lewis, it’s in your best interest to do as we ask.” The man laughed blandly.
Finn got angry, but right now the most crucial thing was to get the little girl back. All other matters could be dealt with later. He quickly took the stairs to the second-floor pedestrian bridge, which was crowded with people.
“Now, Mr. Lewis, go to the edge of the bridge. Do you sees that silver minivan down there?” The man’s voice rang in Finn’s ear again.
“I see it.” Finn looked down promptly and saw a minivan parked below.
“Now throw the money down!”
“Alright, but let me warn you, if you take the money and don’t release her, you will understand how severe the consequences can be.” Finn sneered and tossed his backpack down from the overhead bridge.
A few men down there caught the falling backpack and promptly got into the minivan parked nearby, and drove away. “Now you’ve got the money, where’s the girl?” Finn asked with a sneer.
“Hehe, Mr. Lewis is joking. We haven’t counted the money yet. Once we have done so, we will contact you naturally.” The man hung up straight away.
A wave of rage welled up in Finn’s heart. His chest heaved, and there was a blazing fire in his eyes. Damn it! Are they making fun of me? However, Finn didn’t act impulsively; he stayed there waiting. About half an hour later, his phone rang once more, “Hehe, Mr. Lewis, we are quite satisfied. It is indeed 5 million, but actually, we had a bigger number in mind!” Hehe! Finn laughed heartily. Fuck, you’re pushing me too far..
