A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 44

For a moment, the leader of the Darklight gang maintained his silence as he tapped his fingers on the desk and coldly stared at Rome.

Then he sat up straight and said, “1.5 million.”

“Fine,” Rome said with less patience in his tone.

“Paper before info.”

“I will wire the money to you, but if the information you give me isn't solid, you will pay me back with more than just cash.”

“Is that a threat!”

“See it as such because it is! Now give me an account number.”

For a moment, there was a flicker of fear in the leader of the Darklight gang’s eyes. Then he pulled himself together and called out the account number.

It took a few minutes, then his phone buzzed on the desk, and he picked it up, staring at the screen in disbelief.

“1.5 million. Sender, ‘anonymous.” He read out loud before gazing at Rome and asking, “Who are you?”

“Where's my information?” Rome coldly intoned, striving to hold on to the last shred of patience he had left.

“Right. Umm… Well, we didn't double-cross her.”

“I don't take kindly to being made a fool of.”

Hearing the seriousness in Rome's tone, the leader of the Darklight gang eyed his gun and said, “We didn't do it, but one of us did. That bastard lied on us, forcing the gang to split up and go into hiding because of the authorities.”

“Do you at least know who hired him?” Rome asked, feeling his frustration growing.

“No. But, I know he did it to pay his son's hospital bill.”

“So, whoever paid his son's medical fees is responsible for setting Chloe up?”

“Haha! You just hit the nail right on the head!”

Struggling against his anger, Rome picked up a sheet and pen off the desk. Then he rested it in front of the leader of the Darklight gang and said, “Write down every information about him and his son.”

For a moment, the leader of the Darklight gang did nothing as he blankly stared at the sheet. Then he exhaled, picked up the pen, and started writing.

After he got done and laid the pen down, Rome took it off the desk, stood to his feet, and said, “For your sake, I hope this gives me the information that I need.”

Then he walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

“Who's that rich jerk!” the leader of the Darklight gang shouted.

“I don't know. But whoever he is, he's not simple.” Scorpion mumbled, feeling a shrive run down his spine.

When Rome came out of the warehouse, he stepped past the four wounded men, still laying on the ground, and walked to the SUV.

Then he got into the front seat and gazed back at Brook, Scar, and Blaze staring wide-eyed at him.

“I'm just going to say it, ‘Our boss is awesome!” Scar shouted, beaming at Rome.

But when he saw Brook eyeing him, he coughed and put on a serious expression.

“Get someone to find out who recently made a payment on the medical bill of Leo Dash at Redemption hospital,” Rome said, handing the paper over to Blaze.

“Yes, boss. I will get my tech guys working on it right now.” Blaze said with his gaze focused on the sheet.

After faintly smiling at them, Rome pushed the car door open and got down. Then he walked over to the other vehicle and got into the backseat.
