Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 367

"Right, right, right... Mason, you're absolutely right!"

"Sir, thank you so much. For my son to have such a loyal friend... He can rest in peace now..."

Agnes put her phone away and looked at the pale middle-aged couple with a faint, amused expression.

"I treated you with complete sincerity. I gave you more than enough. We had no conflict. So why did you plot against me like this?"

The middle-aged man stared at her in shock. His voice trembled as he stammered,

"Y-you... how do you have that?! Where were you hiding when you heard us? Were you following us?!"

Agnes lowered her phone. Her tone remained calm, as if everything had already been expected.

"From our first meeting, I could already tell how greedy you were.

"Greedy people are never satisfied.

"I knew you would not stop there. You would definitely push for more."

She smiled faintly.

"And just as expected, during the second meeting, you still asked for an outrageous price. So this time, I was prepared.

"I added something extra to the gold bar I gave you."

Seeing their expressions turn darker and more confused, she spoke steadily.

"There was a micro tracking device inside that gold bar. It could monitor your movements at any time and... record everything you said."

The middle-aged woman turned pale and rushed into the bedroom. She came back with the gold bar and examined it nervously.

Agnes smiled. "No need to waste your effort. If it were that easy to find, do you think I would have gathered all this evidence?"

The woman's voice rose sharply as she pointed at Agnes.

"Why would you do this to us?! Why would you hide something like that inside?! Are you some kind of spy?!"

Agnes shook her head, her tone full of sarcasm.

"What kind of rural family demands such an outrageous price? So high that it shocks people.

"You probably have never even seen that kind of money before, have you?"

She paused thoughtfully.

She then said, "My guess is, someone behind you was guiding you.

"So I stayed cautious and placed a small tracking device inside.

"First, I was worried you would take the money and disappear. And it turns out I was right.

"Second, I wanted to find out who you really are and what your true intentions were."

Agnes stood up, walked closer, and looked down at them coldly as she demanded.

"So, who is the person behind you?

"If you refuse to speak, this won't end with just a few decades in prison.

"You might even lose your lives!

"Yes, you have the money now, but whether you will live long enough to spend it is another matter!"
