His hat was low in the brim. Luis Sanchez was standing, and he was sitting. When Luis looked down, all he could see was his neck and chin, not his eyes.
His skin was dark and bronzed!
He just sat there and did not move. Luis, standing next to him, could clearly feel an unspeakable chill that made his heart tremble and make him uneasy!
That was murderous!
If a person killed a lot of people, then his mannerisms would have their own intimidating murderous spirit!
This man, Bernardo Mason sent to Hilshire to capture Sean back to Beijing, known as Reid.
It was Reid, sent by Bernardo Mason to Hilshire to bring Sean back to the Capital City.
At the other end of the sofa lay a four-year-old girl. She was unconscious, as if she were asleep, but her face was serene. So far, she had not been harmed in any way.
Who else would it be but Phyllis?
Luis Sanchez took a double look at Phyllis and steeled himself, “Mr. Reid, when you asked me to kidnap Cecilia’s daughter, did you want to threaten Sean with her?”
“But…”
Luis Sanchez was worried. “She is Cecilia’s illegitimate daughter, with some wild man, and is not related to Sean. Sean only got engaged to Cecilia yesterday morning, so he probably won’t care if they live or die.”
Five years ago, led by the Mason family of the Capital City behind the scenes, three families in the south of the city jointly framed Sean for prison, the details of which was only known by the Mason family of the Capital City and the patriarch of the three families.
For example, it was Cecilia who was thrown into Sean’s bed!
And Sean was Phyllis’s biological father!
Even Owen Sanchez, Luis Sanchez’s father and Hilshire’s richest man, only used his connections to find out what was going on behind the scenes.
With so much at stake, Morton Miller, Michael Taylor, and Connor Scott kept the big secret to themselves. They didn’t tell anyone, not even their son.
So!
Luis Sanchez asked this question.
If he were to swap places with Sean, he would never accept Reid’s threat for Phyllis, someone else’s child!
“Threaten?”
Reid shook his head, his voice cracking, “In the face of absolute power, all threats are trivial. That’s a mean, stupid trick only you impotent fools would use.”
“I disdain it!”
The implication was that Reid was so sure that he could take Sean down on his own, without resorting to cheap tricks!
Masters naturally had their own pride!
Luis Sanchez’s mouth twitched. He certainly believed in Reid’s ability, but still couldn’t help but ask, “In that case, you want me to take this little girl for…”
“I have my own reason.”
Before Luis Sanchez could ask, Reid’s voice turned cold and he snorted, “Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. Out of the mouth comes evil. There’s no guarantee that if you ask the wrong question, you’ll still have time to hear the answer you want.”
With his icy voice, the temperature in the room seemed to plummet.
And that kind of cold murderous atmosphere suddenly become more full-bodied.
“Yes, okay.”
Luis Sanchez reached to wipe the sweat from his brow and nodded, “Thank you for your advice.”
As Reid said just now, in the face of absolute power, the so-called money, power, scheming, all of them were insignificant and vulnerable.
