Sammy angrily clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
She could not believe her ex-best friend treated her like that. She felt humiliated and wanted to slap Ria.
However, she knew she could not be reckless. Her brother was their hostage, so she could only endure.
Wilbur said slowly at that moment, "Ria, you'll be punished for being so evil sooner or later. Magnus, you bullied people by abusing your power, so you won't have a good ending either. You better watch it."
"Yeah right. Mister Ray, it's outrageous for him to talk to us like that. Why don't you take care of him?" asked Ria angrily.
Magnus also looked displeased. He said coldly, "Kid, do you really think Zealand is somewhere you can cause trouble in? Gary, break his legs and toss him in the river."
The bodyguard, Gary, stepped toward Wilbur and reached out to grab him.
Wilbur simply waved, and Gary backed away in surprise. He looked weirded out.
Magnus had a change in his facial expression. Wilbur said, "Let's settle this your way. The Shandons will compensate with one billion dollars, then have a live press conference broadcasted nationwide, and you'll release Dom Shandon."
Magnus laughed and said, "Haha. I thought the Shandons hired an expert. Is that all you got?"
Sammy looked nervous, and she wanted to say something, but she endured it after some thought.
She felt like she should trust Wilbur since she asked him to help.
Ria glanced at Wilbur in disdain. She said, "Alright. Give us one billion dollars first to show your sincerity."
"Fine. Give me an account number and I'll transfer it right away," said Wilbur with a smile.
Ria was taken aback, so she looked at Magnus.
Magnus stared at Wilbur for a long while, then he asked the waiter for a pen and paper to write an account number.
