Chapter Seventy-Four: Be Prepared to Face the Consequences of Your Trashy
Actions
They were all busy counting their money. Finn Lewis, however, asked in a
hushed voice: “If I try to rush them and they shoot at me, can you ensure my safety?” Hell, even though Lewis had immense trust in Zero, he felt it best to clarify this first because who knew if Zero could protect him under such circumstances.
This was a vital issue. Lewis did not want to heedlessly risk his life, especially not at the expense of the little girl’s.
“Your safety is not threatened in the current environment.” Zero’s tone remained as icy cold, steady, and emotionless as ever.
“Understood.” Lewis took a deep breath, then directly crept towards them. He was quickly by the side of the little girl. Seeing Lewis there, a look of joy immediately spread across the girl’s face. Yet, her mouth was taped shut so she couldn’t yell out, which was good because it didn’t alert the others.
Lewis was quick to act, pulling out the fruit knife he had bought and swiftly cut the ropes binding the little girl’s hands. Although Lewis was gentle, there were five men over there and his moves were not professional.
“Who’s there?” One man spotted Lewis and shouted, aiming his gun at him. Lewis had already shielded the little girl behind him. Seeing the gun pointed at him, Lewis felt a trembling sensation in his calves, even though Zero had assured him of his safety.
Under such circumstances, the body could not deceive one. Lewis was somewhat scared. Hell, he was not a battle-hardened warrior, so naturally, he was afraid. Nevertheless, Lewis suppressed his fear, yanked the girl behind him, and said: “You don’t recognise me so quickly?”
“Ha ha, brothers, look who this is. Isn’t it Mr. Lewis? Mr. Lewis, you surprise me with your guts. Who’s this little girl to you? Your illegitimate daughter? You came to rescue her yourself?”
“Shut up!” A man in his forties with triangular eyes came over, slapped the laughing man and took the gun from his hand. He pointed the gun at Lewis and barked: “Tell us, how did you find us? Did you call the police?”
The other four men also sprung into action, becoming alert. “If you don’t talk, I’ll shoot you.” The triangular-eyed man’s voice made Lewis realize that this middle-aged man was the one he had been communicating with earlier.
“No, I found my way here.” Although Lewis was frightened to death, and his legs were almost cramping, he admired his own acting skills because from his face, you couldn’t tell he was scared.
“A few of you, go outside and see. Now! See if any police are sneaking up.” The man with the triangular eyes ordered sharply.
The other four agreed and ran outside. The triangular-eyed man stood face to face with Lewis, pointing his gun at him and said: “Mr. Lewis, we’ve already mentioned, we are only after money, not life. You’re forcing us.”
“Joke, you’re after money, yet you’re insatiable. I’ll pay you tomorrow, but who knows whether you’ll continue to demand money without releasing the hostage? Money doesn’t matter to me, but if I keep being blackmailed by you, I’d rather come and rescue the hostage.” Lewis retorted with a sneer.
The triangular-eyed middle-aged man rolled his eyes. He hadn’t heard any police sirens outside, which meant that this fool really came alone? Considering this, he came up with another idea. Although Lewis seemed to care about the girl, they had found no connection between them. They had been stalking the girl for a long time, Imowing that her granny wouldn’t live much longer. They had planned to strike after her granny was dead.
Striking ahead of time would have resulted in the granny calling the police, and the gang would be under surveillance. However, no one cared about orphans. Even if the police opened a case, they wouldn’t mobilize all their resources to crack it, so all their victims were orphans.
This little girl certainly had nothing to do with Lewis, but if the man hadn’t called the police and came on his own, then kidnapping Lewis would earn them not millions, but billions! Thinking about it, the man’s eyes lit up with greed. However, they first needed to ensure that Lewis hadn’t called the police.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the four men outside returned one by one. “Boss, there’s no one. We’ve checked outside, and there are no people. We’ve already scoped this place out.”
“Great! Ha ha! Mr. Lewis, you rejected heaven’s gate only to force hell’s doors open! Ha ha, I wonder how much we can get if we kidnap you?” The triangular-eyed man burst into laughter. Upon hearing his words, the other four men’s faces also displayed greedy expressions.
“The boss is wise!” The men chimed in one after another, fawning over him.
“Kidnap me? It’ll soon be discovered that I’m missing. I don’t believe the police can’t find this place.” Lewis wore a deliberately panicked look. His emotions had stabilized quite a bit by now, at least his legs weren’t trembling anymore. Although Lewis’ acting was a tad exaggerated, these people were blinded by their own greed and paid no attention to it.
“Police? Haha, I have to say, Mr. Lewis, you’re really a fool! You actually dared to come here without informing anyone! Do you think you’re 007? Or have you been watching too many movies or reading novels and think you can successfully rescue her?” The triangular-eyed man laughed heartily. “No one other than us knows about this place. You better stay put.”
“Are you sure that no one else knows about this place?” Lewis’ face bore a wry smile.
“Of course! Hehe, so just forget about trying to escape.” The triangular-eyed man said smugly.
“Bastard! You ****! Really think I’m as stupid as you are? Would I come here without a trump card? No one else knows about this place? ****! I’ll show you today why the flower stands out!” Lewis began to curse. Lewis’s shout left the rest of them stunned, but before they could react, Lewis shouted: “Zero, I need to use the T800’s authorization!”
“Confirmed.” Zero’s voice echoed, followed by a pitch-black hole that suddenly appeared before Lewis and the five men. They were instantly dumbfounded, each of them goggling at the astonishing scene before them..
