The beauty, on the other hand, simply glanced at the fat man before saying, “If you want to live, then carry my luggage and follow me. Do that properly and I’ll hand you a hundred thousand dollars once we’re done!”
As she watched the fat man nod silently in fear, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the three other men who had gotten off the bus earlier.
Watching them walk off in the opposite direction, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.
‘That man in the black trench coat truly is a mystery…’ She thought to herself.
Regardless, he wasn’t getting in her way so he didn’t really matter to her. She had her own things to focus on in the meantime.
She then squatted down and began removing all the communication devices off the five corpses. Once she was done, she gestured for the fat man to follow and the two then walked off silently.
“Elder… Master… Whichever you prefer… Where are you taking me to…? If it’s money you want, then my family can give you as much money as you need! Even if it’s something else, I believe that the Moldell family can definitely provide it to you! So please free me! I’m beyond hungry and thirsty right now!”
If it wasn’t evident enough, the one who had spoken was none other than Jett.
Alongside his subordinate, neither of them had dared to say a word throughout their journey on the bus. After all, they knew better than to make a scene when their captor could easily end their lives with a single hand. Now that they were literally in the middle of nowhere, however, Jett knew he could finally speak again.
“Where we’re going is just right ahead!” replied the man in black.
“Here?” asked Jett in surprise as he looked around the deep valley.
“Indeed. Regardless, I’m sure the rest of the Moldells must be frantically looking for you right now. From what I can guess, Weston must’ve turned upside down the moment they found out that you were missing. They’ll certainly be overwhelmed when they eventually manage to track your location all the way out here,” said the man in black.
“I’m glad you understand that, Elder! With your level of intelligence, I’m sure you know how much my father loves me! By this point, he’s probably going to mobilize all the top masters in the family, to search for me! This really doesn’t have to end with you offending the Moldell family, Elder! Let’s discuss things amicably! Who knows, we could even end up becoming allies!”
“Humph. As you said, your father won’t stop until he finds you!”
“That’s right! So please, Elder! Please just-”
Before Jett could even finish his sentence, Gerald made a swift grab for his silent subordinate’s throat. The subordinate wasn’t even able to react before Gerald moved his fingers slightly and a snapping sound could be heard.
Blood immediately spurted out of the man’s mouth as he fell to the ground, dead.
