However, Kori insisted. "The transaction will take place at our usual spot. We will exchange the money and the person simultaneously. As long as you have the money ready and don't play tricks, I will keep my promise this time and return your son to you in one piece."
Chris warned him even more forcefully. "I will say it again. I have the money ready. If your goal is just money, I can give you more. I can give you 200 million dollars. But the condition is that my son must be safe.
"The location you set cannot guarantee that my son will be returned to me safely. If you are sincere, then do as I say. Bring him to Valanthea first."
Kori paused and sneered again. "Orin, don't forget who is more desperate here. If you really want your son—"
"500 million dollars!" Chris interrupted him coldly.
He gritted his teeth. "My only requirement now is to get my son back. As long as you satisfy this request, I can give you 500 million dollars! But you must bring him to Valanthean territory. That is the only way I can confirm your sincerity."
Kori was clearly tempted by the mention of 500 million dollars. "You can get that much at once?"
Chris retorted. "Didn't you already investigate my background? I am working for the richest tycoon here. I saved his family's life and gained his absolute trust. I have plenty of ways to get 500 million. I told you that money is definitely not a problem as long as you return my son."
Kori fell silent on the phone again.
It was a fact that he wanted money. He also believed that Chris could get enough money from this Valanthean tycoon. Proposing the transaction in Valanthea was also for another layer of insurance.
If Kori abducted Billy and killed him in Valanthea, the local police would definitely get involved. He would not be able to run away with the money then.
Kori was certain Chris wouldn't call the police. That acted as a restraint for both sides.
