Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 771

Seeing this, Jayden looked surprised and said, "You can still use your phone here? We've got beautiful women right in front of you—stop looking at that!"

Landry raised an eyebrow. The data and programs on his hacker's phone were beyond Jayden's understanding, but Landry knew they were being used for the rebels. He just reminded him to hurry up and not waste any time.

Jayden said, "Landry, follow me, and you'll live like royalty. The more chaotic it gets here, the more money you can make. Look at what you'd earn as a programmer back home—barely anything compared to the potential 200 thousand dollars a month you can make here!"

Landry smiled and replied, "That's true, but you need a life to spend it. What's the point if you don't survive?"

Seeing Landry smile, Jayden was momentarily puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Landry replied, "In this chaos, where's the place to spend money? I'm just speaking the truth, aren't I?"

Jayden laughed and said, "True enough, but the leader has said he'll expand operations soon. When that happens, there'll be plenty of places to spend money! Your good times are still to come!"

Hearing this, Landry couldn't help but coldly smile to himself. He then noticed a commotion outside, and, with a serious tone, said, "I'll go check it out."

Jayden shrugged and said, "Probably just someone who's had too much to drink and is causing a scene!"

As Landry stepped outside, a gunshot rang out suddenly. He froze for a moment, instinctively reaching for his gun, only to realize with a jolt. "Where's my gun?"

The woman beside him was holding his gun and laughing. Landry burst back inside, followed by a group of people. Seeing them, Jayden was stunned and exclaimed, "Landry Newman, you—"

Landry shoved a stack of money into the woman's hand, then took back his gun and aimed it at Jayden. "I told you, you can earn money, but if you don't survive, what's the point?"

"Landry Newman, have you lost your mind? This is my turf, and you're daring to pull a gun on me here? Do you think you'll walk out of this alive? The rebels are just nearby," Jayden said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew stepped out and said, "Whether it's the rebels or the gang leader, in this place, it's just the two of us. If I shoot you now, will your people even have time to react?"

"Who are you?" Jayden asked, momentarily bewildered.

Matthew sneered. "Wasn't it your plan to capture me and take my life that day? Have you already forgotten?"

"Y-You're Matthew Grant!" Jayden stammered. Jayden looked at the man in front of him, Matthew, who had disguised himself so well that he genuinely didn't recognize him.

Seeing Matthew's gun aimed at him, Jayden's fear grew. "What do you want? If you kill me here, you won't be able to get out either. Be sensible and leave now. I can pretend nothing happened."

Matthew sneered. "Do you think I'm a child? Tell me who wants my life in this place, and I might spare you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Jayden was taken aback by Matthew's words.

Matthew, losing patience, ordered, "Kill him!"

"Wait! Wait, let me think!" Jayden panicked, realizing that Matthew wasn't following the usual rules. He thought, 'Just one question, and he was already ready to kill?'

Jayden gasped in fear and asked, "Where am I?"

"Congratulations on arriving at my territory," Matthew said with a smile that sent shivers down Jayden's spine. For a moment, Jayden was at a loss about what to do.

"I've done exactly what you asked. What more do you want?" Jayden said.

Matthew, lounging with his legs crossed, said, "You're a powerful leader yourself. Did you think I'd be foolish enough to let you go just like that? I don't have a personal vendetta against you, but if there's any grudge, it's that you prevented me from going home. That's what I'm here to settle!"

Jayden panicked immediately. Seeing his reaction, Matthew couldn't help but sneer. "Don't worry, I'm not a killer. As long as you do what I say, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you try any tricks behind my back, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jayden immediately agreed, "Yes, I have no issues. I won't betray you, I'll cooperate fully. What do you need me to do?"

"Answer the phone," Matthew instructed.

"What? Answer the phone?" Jayden was stunned. He thought, 'Was his only purpose for capturing me just to answer a phone call?'

Matthew said coldly, "Just stay here and keep calm. If Mr. Anderson calls you, cooperate with me after getting my approval." He then grabbed Jayden's phone and glanced at it.

Seeing Matthew's intense gaze, Jayden instinctively recoiled and quickly agreed, "Don't worry, I'll cooperate fully as long as you don't kill me." His life was at stake, and with Matthew's domain being formidable, he wasn't about to antagonize him. A wise person knew when to adapt, and Jayden, having survived in this world for so long, was no fool.
