"Young Master, what is..."
They all widened their eyes, staring at Jared in disbelief.
Talon was also shocked into a daze. He squinted his eyes, giving Jared a bone-chilling look. "Mr. Farrell."
"Talon Rylands," Jared called.
Talon was stunned again. his pupil constricted. "Mr. Farrell, you know me?"
"I didn't want to know you. But you took away my girl, which kind of forced me into knowing such a bastard like you," Jared scoffed as he looked at him coldly.
Amber froze a little upon hearing the words "my girl".
This was the first time she actually didn't hate this expression.
Talon, however, was infuriated by his words.
Talon was an illegitimate son of the Rylands family, and he was constantly prejudiced against because of that.
Saying the word "bastard" was like rubbing salt into his wound. Talon'sface distorted in anger. He gave Jared a vicious smile. "Oh, I'm sorry you have to know a 'bastard' like me."
"Enough. I don't want to waste my breath on you. Talon, release Amber now." Jared's voice was deep as he pointed at Amber, who was standing behind two hefty guys and being wrapped in a coat.
"Release her?" Talon squinted his eyes. "What if I don't?"
"If you don't, you will not walk out of Olkmore alive." Jared's voice was sharp.
Talon curled up an ironic smile. "Even if I release her, will you really let me go? Mr. Farrell, I know very well how do you treat people who cross you. Are you sure you will let me go?"
Jared clenched his fists. "As long as you don't hurt her, I will do as I promised."
Hearing that, Amber and Talon were both shocked.
Talon looked at Jared as if he was staring at an idiot and let out a laughter. "Wow. Mr. Farrell is even willing to let off his enemy for a woman! That's not like you. Do you really love this woman that much? If you do, then why did you divorce her?"
Jared looked down and said coldly, "None of your business. You let her go now, and I'll let you off the hook."
Talon snickered. "You really think I'll believe that? You are just stalling because you can't save her from our hands. As soon as we leave, you will send people to go after us immediately."
Something flickered across Jared's eyes. He pursed his lips.
Talon saw through him.
He was heavily outnumbered. The reason why he exposed himself was that he wanted to buy some time. He couldn't let Talon take away Amber right in front of him. Plus, he didn't know whose helicopter would arrive first. His? Or Talon's?
If Talon's helicopter got here first, they would immediately take Amber away. By then, finding Amber would be a much harder task.
Therefore, he could only try to negotiate with Talon and see if it was possible to talk Talon into releasing Amber right now. If Talon agreed, Jared would let him go. Talon wasn't a problem, and he could always be dealt with later. However, Jared didn't expect Talon would see through his plan.
But it made sense. It was impossible for an airhead to stand out above the rest of the illegitimate children of the Rylands family.
"What do you want?" Jared stared at Talon, deadpanned.
"Me?" A malicious smile appeared on Talon's face. "Easy. Do you know why I kidnapped your ex-wife? It's because I want to kill Jeremiah Rylands. I won't release her until I killed him. Now, for your sake, I won't hurt her. I will even give her back once Jeremiah stops breathing. So, Mr. Farrell, why don't we partner up?"
