Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2606

Soon, the person in charge discovered who the hotel’s owner was and realized the hotel’s bar had stopped operations for over a month. However, the bar suddenly reopened. So, those men pretended to be the bar’s employees and kidnapped Shirley after leading the girls inside. Then, Imogen said, “We were just tired from shopping and realized a cafe was open there. So, we went in to take a break. We didn’t know we’d be locked inside.” After that, the cops spotted the kidnappers leaving the bar through the surveillance camera that was facing the back alley. The police locked onto the kidnappers’ car and started tracking them.

At the same time, Zacharias’ phone rang from an unfamiliar number from Flor.

He looked at the phone and told the cops. “I think the kidnappers are calling me.” “You may answer the phone, Mr. Flintstone. We’ve set up the tracking device.” So, Zacharias answered the phone. “Hello.” “Hi, Mr. Zacharias Flintstone. We know who you are, and I’m sure you know who we are, too. Your woman is currently in our hands. Now, you have five minutes to decide. I’ll give you an account number. Transfer 150 million to us, and she stays alive.” “I’ll do it. Please don’t hurt her,” Zaharias said without hesitation. He needed to play along with these kidnappers, his only concern being Shirley’s well-being.

“That’s quick of you. It truly brings joy to engage in a deal with someone of your stature.” The person on the other end of the phone laughed. “Remember. Five minutes. After that, I’ll send that woman’s limbs to you through this number.” “Don’t hurt her!” Zaharias exclaimed. However, the kidnapper had already ended the call. Ren, standing next to Zacharias, immediately reassured him, saying, “Don’t worry. We’ll advance the money since we’ll get it back sooner or later.” “Thank you.” “It’s us who should be sorry,” Ren replied. Then, Zacharias passed the phone to his men when an account number appeared on the screen. The men promptly entered the account number and the sum of 150 million.

“Wait for two minutes before sending it,” Zacharias instructed in a low tone. If they send it over too quickly, the kidnappers might suspect that he was working with the police. So, the two-minute delay could help dispel the kidnappers’ suspicion.
