Chapter 495

Lawrence kept his deadly glare locked on Bagot.

He was effectively a prisoner in Cabinda. Sure, Lance provided him with five-star hospitality, but he wasn’t allowed to leave. He was too much of a wild card. If he made a move, or if his mercenaries overseas tried

anything reckless, his life would be forfeited instantly.

Here, he was stripped of his power.

He had begged Lance to help him track down the girl, even promising massive financial kickbacks in return.

But they weren’t helping him at all!

He knew it now. They definitely knew who she was and where she was hiding, but they were stonewalling him.

They were playing him for a fool.

*What a bunch of bastards.* He wanted to put a bullet in every single one

of them.

Dark, violent malice swirled in Lawrence’s blue eyes. But he was acutely aware of his precarious situation. He gritted his teeth, forcing the murderous urge back down.

He shifted his gaze to Lance, his face hardening into absolute seriousness. “You better keep your word. Otherwise, your wife is going to have a very tragic accident.”

He had completely lost faith in Lance. The only way to get what he wanted was through leverage.

Lance’s dark, predatory eyes narrowed dangerously. “I will find her, and I will bring her to you.”

Lawrence threw himself back onto the sofa. His previous amusement was entirely gone, replaced by a suffocating, violent gloom that made

him look like a ticking time bomb.

Nearby, Ken had completely passed out, his head resting heavily on the table.

Lance gestured to his men to drag Ken away, then turned to Bagot. “You head out too.”

Bagot gave a stiff nod. “Yeah, alright. Call me if anything goes sideways.”

“Will do.”

The VIP room fell into heavy silence.

Lance stepped closer to Nathalie. Even with the masquerade mask covering half her face, he could see the raw anxiety radiating from her.

He leaned down, enveloping her smaller hand in his. “I’ve already brought in a world-class hypnotherapist. Once she works on him, we’ll get the answers we need.”

Nathalie’s eyes lit up instantly. “Are you serious? It’ll actually work?”

“Yes.”

Lance confirmed it smoothly, then paused, his tone shifting. “But I owe a

massive favor for this.”

Nathalie bit her lip. “What do you want?”

Lance’s dark eyes locked onto hers, burning with unmistakable intent. “Five extra times.”

“No way!”

Nathalie shook her head immediately, her clear eyes turning dead serious. “I’ll do anything else, but absolutely not that!”

Lance arched an eyebrow lazily. “But other than that, I can’t think of a single thing you’re actually good for.”

He tapped his chin, pretending to think. “Cooking for me? You can’t even

cock as well as I do, so scratch that. Helping me with corporate Strategies? Do you even know the first thing about my business? What else is there?”

Nathalie was speechless.

So, in his eyes, she was completely useless outside the bedroom?

Frustration bubbled up in her chest, but she held her ground. “Whatever. The answer is still no. Pick something else.”

Lance let out a low, raspy chuckle. “Three times.”

Nathalie hesitated, her resolve wavering.

Lance’s voice dropped an octave, dripping with seductive negotiation. “Two times. That is my absolute final offer.”
