She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1196

Chapter 1196 Bait

Knowing that he couldn't escape his fate, Max reluctantly agreed. After Arthur told him what to do, he followed him to the vicinity of the small building and walked shakily towards it under the watchful eyes of the ambushers.

As Max moved forward, Nick and Victor led their men quietly behind him. The dense palm grove provided cover for the small building and also served as an excellent hiding place for them.

When they arrived at the front of the small building, Max hesitated and glanced at the nearby palm grove. Just as he was still hesitant, one of the guards on the first floor had already spotted him.

One guard had seen someone walking towards their building through a window earlier. He called out to his colleagues to greet him but did not expect to see someone who was covered in injuries. His guard was naturally not so strong anymore.

Walking down from stairs, the guard shouted three meters away from Max, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?"

"I..." At this point, Max had no choice but to speak up since he was backed into a corner. He raised his smiling face but did not expect that it would cause pain in his wounds immediately.

"Speak up!" The guard became impatient.

"Don't hurt me," said Max quickly while enduring pain, "I came here near fishing area but got lost because this place is too remote. I even fell off a cliff and can't find my phone now. I'm all injured now. Can you help me?"

"Go away! We're not charity workers. Go find someone else!" The guard ruthlessly drove away Max.

"Don't," pleaded Max, "This place is so remote. Where else can I find help? If you don't want to help me, then I'll really die here... How about this? There's cash in my car which I brought with me originally intending on buying fishing gear with it - if you guys help me out, then all that money will be yours!"

"You have a car yet still ask us for help?" The guard doubted him suspiciously.

"Guy," said Max showing them his half-limp right foot pitifully, "Do you think I could drive like this?"

Seeing that Max's foot was indeed injured, several guards whispered among themselves. Some agreed with taking money to save him while others dared not neglect their duties. After they discussed back-and-forth, greed finally won out.

"How much money do you have? There are seven people here." Asked one arrogant-looking security personnel.

"Fifty thousand yuan, originally intended for buying fishing gear." said Max.

"As long as you are willing to lend me hands, I'll take everything!"

Fifty thousand! This was already a considerable amount for the guards. Anyway, Jacob was resting now and there were still bodyguards guarding inside the house. It won't take them much time to go to the car and get the money. After discussing it, one by one, the guards showed a smile on their faces and walked towards Max.

One meter, two meters, three meters. Seeing that the guards had already moved away from the gate, Nick made a quick decision and signaled with a raised hand to lead his bodyguards out. They surrounded seven guards from behind, leaving them helpless as they were unable to even shout before being subdued with a single blow.

Max was stunned as he watched. He had thought that the foreign men who followed Arthur were surely skilled, but he never expected them to move so quickly. Before he knew it, the guards had been taken care of and not even a hair on his head was harmed.
