Liam Stone clapped. The TV in the match hall switched on and displayed Shane and Rosalie Naiswell, both tied firmly to their chairs. Shane’s voice was inaudible, and his head was bleeding profusely. It seemed he had been hit by the steel pipes Liam’s underlings were carrying.
"Mr. Naiswell is the senior of the Naiswell family. You dare touch him?" Harvey looked at the TV in disbelief. Wasn't Liam acting too outrageously? Didn't he know what kind of man Shane was? If he offended Shane, the entire Naiswell family could swoop in and kill him with ease.
"Why wouldn’t I? Not only am I going to kill him, I’m also going to take that woman to my bed. When I've had enough of her, I'll get my men to dump her in an alley somewhere. Who'd know that I'm the culprit?” Liam laughed coldly. "I'm giving you a choice. If you want them to stay alive, surrender. If you don’t, I’ll make you watch them die. That woman is your lover, isn’t she?"
Liam continued to laugh, feeling deeply confident.
Harvey drew in a deep breath and frowned. "Liam, this problem is between you and I. Why did you have to drag others in this mess? What are your conditions to free them? Senior Naiswell is especially old. If something happens to him, ten lives of yours won't be
enough to compensate!" "Hahaha...!" Liam held his head up, his laughter rising i n intensity. "If I dared making them my hostages, then of course I'm not afraid of killing them!"
Harvey mulled over the situation and said with a serious tone, "Liam, why don’t you kneel and beg for mercy? If you do, I’m sure Senior Naiswell will forgive you. I'll let you go as well."
"F*ck! Hahaha...!” Liam was lost in his laughter. "I’m sorry, I couldn't help myself. Have you been reading too many stories? Who do you think you are? You
want me to kneel? Are you using your status as a live-i n son-in-law to scare me? Oh my, I'm so scared!"
