Joseph narrowed his eyes and clarified, "Are you for real, Fernando?”
"Mr. Myers, what a thing to say!" Fernando exclaimed in displeasure.
"You are my benefactor. Whoever lays a finger on you will cross me!”
"I don't care if he was God or the King, I will stab him to death!"
Joseph was extremely contented with his response. Patting him on the shoulders, he said, "Don't worry about that. Let's have a chat first."
"If you take revenge for me, I will give you ten million for you to flee."
Fernando's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He only earned about twenty thousand a month when he worked in the military in Africa.
While the salary could be raised if he partook in dangerous operations, it would only be at a maximum of one million!
Meanwhile, Joseph offered him ten million at one shot. It was close to a year's salary on the African battleground.
After the duo sat, Joseph poured a glass of champagne for the man and relayed to him the enmity between himself and Nathan Cross.
Fernando listened to the story attentively from start to end. After which, his lips twisted into a wry smile as he remarked, "Well, I'd been thinking about who this man was. Seems like he is just a nobody who knows little martial arts after he retired from the military."
"Mr. Myers, rest assured I will do whatever you want."
"I have two more brothers. Tomorrow night, we will kill Nathan Cross for you."
"We will also kidnap that beautiful woman, Penny Smith, and bring her to you."
Joseph nodded in satisfaction as he heard this, "Hehe, I will wait for your good news then."
The next evening, Penny and Nathan stepped out of the office and drove home.
As the car made a turn, a figure suddenly dashed in front of the car and Nathan stepped on the brakes quickly.
Penny exclaimed, "Did you hit him? Let's get down and take a look."
Just as they were about to alight the car to check on the man they knocked down, the two back doors to the car opened at the same time and two men slid into the backseat from each side.
They pointed their guns at Nathan and Penny, and with a low voice, they said, "Don't move, or we will kill you."
Nathan let out a frown while Penny turned as pale as a sheet.
At the same time, the pedestrian who was knocked down also got up quickly and slid into the backseat of the car.
With a sly smile, he introduced himself, "Hello, I am Fernando Larson.”
"You better follow my instructions. If not, I can't guarantee that the guns won't shoot."
