Old Cain glanced at Juan in surprise and asked suspiciously, “You’re a famous boss and have many people imder you. Why do you need me to do such a simple thing?”
“No, that kid isn’t simple. If I could deal with it, why would I be asking an infamous gangster like you to take action?”
Juan was full of bitterness. The setbacks he suffered at Philip’s hands were not something he could mention. It would make his reputation fall. Moreover, Philip and Wynn had disappeared for such a long time with no clues of their whereabouts.
He just recently received news from his subordinates that Philip and Wynn had returned to First Palace.
Old Cain nodded slightly, having guessed that Juan must have suffered a great loss in Philip’s hands. However, Old Cain was confident in his skills. He looked down upon those minions under Juan. He guessed that Philip knew some skills and could deal with one or two dozen men at most.
“In that case, what about the price?” Old Cain asked smilingly.
“Five million. If you can get the money from the Johnston family, then it’ s all yours.”
Juan stretched out five fingers.
Just to kidnap two people, five million was not a low price.
“It’s too little.” Old Cain smiled as he exhaled smoke rings.
“You name the price, then,” Juan frowned and said.
“Ten million, not a dime less,” Old Cain said.
Juan did not hesitate and said decisively, “Deal, but you must be quick.”
“Don’t worry. Before the sun sets tomorrow, I’ll definitely hand him over to you. It’ s not a difficult task. It’s not like you don’t know the big things we’ve done.”
Juan nodded. He recalled the series of robberies that Old Cain and his gang had pulled off. A bright smile gradually appeared on his face.
“I’ll wait for your good news, then. The deposit will be credited to your account immediately.”

“Don’t struggle. If you behave, you can suffer less. Otherwise, I won’t have mercy on you even if you’re a woman.”
Old Cain walked up to Wynn and grabbed the back of her collar, lifting her easily.
Wynn struggled in terror, while Old Cain waved his big hand in front of her.
“If you don‘t behave, I’ll slap your face.”
Seeing the palm full of calluses, Wynn dared not struggle anymore.
Old Cain carried Wynn to the conference room, where the tables and chairs had been pushed to the corners. The large room was full of the company’s top executives squatting around.
Wynn swept her gaze around and saw Martin, Bernard, and Liam. They were all squatting in the crowd with their heads in their hands and trembling.
