Eric blinked, seemingly not expecting Georgia to say that.
At that moment, Wilson, who’d been at Georgia’s side all along, moved. Before anyone could react, and with shocking speed, Wilson grabbed Eric and held him in his grasp.
All the bodyguards inside raised their pistols and pointed at them.
Eric’s neck was being held in Wilson’s vise-grip, but he didn’t appear panic as he sneered at Georgia.
“I thought you really didn’t care about the money, but you do. Seems like Robert’s not worth a few hundred billions to you.”
“Eric, the moment I signed the contract to exchange the stocks, you’ll hand me another document to have me give you all my assets, then you’ll have me sign to transfer Robert’s company stocks. I gleaned what kind of person you were from just the few words you said today. You won’t let Robert go even if I signed this.”
Georgia scoffed, then tore up the document she’d just signed before Eric.
She just wanted to let Eric go through a bit of shock, then have Wilson start moving within that time.
Wilson was the cream of mercenary crop, and normal people couldn’t match his reaction time.
Even with Eric’s people all around them, Georgia wasn’t concerned with Wilson there.
Eric cared about his own life, and was trying so desperately to live that he’d captured Robert all to cure his illness.
From the moment Eric decided to meet her, Georgia knew that the man was still attached to his property. It was a glaring weakness.
Eric also knew that her weakness was Robert.
So this was now a clash of wills, to see who gave way first.
The person to admit defeat would get backed up to a wall.
“Even with me in your grasp, this entire base is full of my people. You really think you can take Robert home safely? I’m telling you, I’m a very capricious fellow. If I didn’t want to, I’d rather die here than let you take Robert away.”
“I don’t want to hear him babble, Wilson. He probably hasn’t felt much pain in his life. Have him experience what a beating feels like.”
At Georgia’s command, Wilson punched Eric in the gut.
Eric groaned, face contorting, while the people levelling guns at them didn’t dare move.
From that, it was clear that they followed Eric’s orders.
And Eric wasn’t having them shoot clearly because he was afraid they’d kill him outright, or he’d be wounded.
Georgia knew that Eric was immunodeficient.
Adolf had also said that Eric’s defect was like his daughters.
With a bit of a scrape or a small wound, it was enough to cause all sorts of illnesses and even total organ failure. Eric’s body wasn’t up to task.
Georgia leant close to Eric’s ear, her voice devilish.
“When you investigated me, you probably didn’t find what kind of person Wilson was.
“You’d better let Robert and I walk, Eric. Or with your body like this, even with a bit more hurt, you probably won’t live to see the sun come up tomorrow.”
Georgia finished.
Then she dug her nails deep inside the flesh in Eric’s palm.
They’d passed a security check and couldn’t bring any sharp objects with them. But a woman’s fingernails also had great effect.
Adolf had told her how immunodeficient people were most afraid of bloodborne infections. Even a small wound could be devastating.
As expected, the moment, Georgia’s nails drew blood, his face contorted.
He shot a dark look at Georgia, who simply sneered and dug her nails into other parts of Eric’s body.
The wounds were tiny, but growing in number.
Eric still held out and didn’t speak. Georgia suddenly lowered her head and bit Eric’s hand with all her strength.
She tasted rust in her mouth. It was disgusting, but very effective.
