Chapter 889
The burly shepherd smiled as he checked out the four cars Severin and the others came in. “Let me see, a Maserati, a Rolls-Roye, and those two at the back should be Audis, right? Hmm, I guess a million dollars. would do. That kinda amount should be chump change to you guys.”
At the mention of a million dollars, Felicia immediately got down from the car and said angrily, “What? You want us to give you a million dollars to get your sheep off the road? Shouldn’t that be your job in the first place? This is literally highway robbery!”
The burly shepherd simply chuckled and with a flick of his wrist, took out a gun from the back of his waist and aimed it at Felicia. “You’re right. This is a robbery! You guys look like you can easily come up with a million dollars in cash. So what do you say? Give us the money and we’ll let you go or you can choose to die by my gun here.”
Felicia screamed in fright when she saw the gun pointing at her. She immediately backed away fearfully.” No! Please don’t kill me. Do… do you know who my son-in-law is? He… he’s the governor so you’re never going to get away with this.”
At that moment, the other “shepherds” decided to drop the pretense too. They all came over with their guns pointed at Felicia and the group.
“Boss, they all look like some rich schmucks. How much did you ask for?” asked one of the robbers.
Previously, they would ask for a couple of thousand dollars from unwitting passersby and as long as they worked hard enough, they would inevitably be rolling in cash by the end of the month. However, seeing how rich Severin and the others were, they decided to go big or go home.
“I asked for a million dollars. These four cars alone should cost them about a million dollars so they should be able to give us that much,” said the burly “shepherd”, who was actually the head robber.
“What should we do, Severin? Should we give them the money?” asked Felicia anxiously while quaking in her boots.
“Don’t worry, Mom. They wouldn’t need to use a gun if they’re good fighters. Even a level one grandmaster can take these thugs down, let alone Diane or Sheila.”
Sheila’s and Diane’s eyes immediately lit up with happiness when they heard what Severin said. The two of them had been training for quite some time but had not had the chance to try out their newfound skills.
‘Does that mean Severin is going to let us try our skills on these five thugs?’ wondered Sheila and Diane.
“But they have guns! Those two pampered princesses are no match for them at all!” said Felicia worriedly. It was obvious she did not believe Severin’s words. Even though she had witnessed Diane and Sheila training hard at the little wood not far off from the mansion, she still did not have confidence in them.” Why, those are just child’s play,’ she always said to herself when she saw them training.
“Cut the crap, kid. And give us the money now or else I’ll kill every one of you and sell off the cars. In any case, I’m either walking away with the cars or money in my bank. Haha!” The head robber must have come from some backwater town to not know what Severin was talking about. In fact, it would not be ant understatement to say that robbing people was the only thing he knows about. As time passed, he got. bolder and bolder at making money the easy way.
