“Of course.” Abel gave a scoff. “The Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group would be facing one of ourbiggest crises for our businesses. We’ll probably have to spend all of our money and assets just to buya woman.”
“We’ll probably become a laughing stock to others. However, we couldn’t bother ourselves with whatthey might think about this. They might not even understand if we were to explain about it,” Benjaminsaid.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, “However… Wouldn’t Old Mr. Ryker punish you severely if you wereto proceed with our plan?”
“Isn’t it the same for you as well?” Abel chuckled quietly. “You just hold the position of the CEO in theAdelmar Group, after all.”
Benjamin fell silent upon hearing Abel’s response.
The actual owner of the Adelmar Group is Emmeline. However, I’ll use whatever means available if itmeans that we can save her.
“Don’t worry. I’m willing to go as far as to sacrifice myself and my company just to save Emma. We willget her out of that place safely!” Abel said.
“Alright!” Benjamin held his hand out toward Abel. “We’ll prepare as much funds as we can get. Then,we’ll work together to save Emma on the day of the auction!”
Abel took Benjamin’s hand and gave it a firm shake. “We’ll prepare the funds and the firearmssimultaneously!”
“Of course!”
Soon afterward, they called for Ethan and Janie. Then, Benjamin briefly explained their currentsituation to them.
For a moment, both Ethan and Janie were at a loss for words upon learning that the Imperial Palacewas using Emmeline to threaten both the Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group.
“You can’t tell anyone about this.” Benjamin looked at Janie. “Especially you, Janie!”
Janie nodded vigorously. “I know! I know! Emma’s life and death are on the line, after all.”
“Mr. Benjamin, how do we rescue Emma from that place, though? I can’t just wait and do nothing whilemy sister gets sold off as a product to someone else?!” Ethan asked dejectedly.
“The Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group will work together in rescuing Emmeline. You have nothingto worry about,” Benjamin replied.
“We will find a way to save her, but we can’t tell you more about the details of our plans,” Abel added.
Ethan’s eyes were bright with tears. “I can’t thank the two of you enough for this! I’m sure Emma wouldbe thankful if she knew what you guys were doing for her.”
After that, Abel returned to his office at the Ryker Group’s building. His secretary brought him a parcelas soon as he got there.
Abel dismissed his secretary and sat down in his chair. A frown marred his handsome features as heopened the parcel. He had an inkling what the contents of the parcel would be even though he had yetopened it.
Inside the parcel, Abel found the invitation card sent by the Imperial Palace. It was an exquisitelydecorated card that stated the time and date of the underground auction.novelbin
They are holding the auction in three days.
I guess our enemy isn’t allowing us too much time.
Just then, Abel received a call from Benjamin.
“Did you receive your invitation, Mr. Abel?”
“Mhm. I’m looking at it right now.”
“We only have three days to prepare for it.”
“That’s more than enough time for me.” Abel said, “I’ll have 300 million dollars ready.”
“Me too.”
“Also… The firearms.” Abel’s voice hardened.
“We should go for it!”
“I guess all of the military training I’ve gone through for almost five years will come in handy finally.”Abel frowned slightly. “By the way, I’ve noticed that you have pretty decent fighting skills as well. Wheredid you learn how to fight like that, Mr. Benjamin?”
“That’s a topic for another day.” Benjamin replied, “We should start with our preparations.”
“Alright.”
After ending the call, Benjamin instructed Janie, “Tell Mr. Fletcher to come and see me now.”
Soon enough, Dennis Fletcher, the deputy general manager of the finance department, showed up inBenjamin’s office. He greeted, “Mr. Benjamin, what can I do for you?”
“Get 300 million dollars ready and wire them into my personal account in three days’ time,” Benjaminsaid.
“300… 300 million dollars?!” Dennis gasped involuntarily. “Mr. Benjamin, if we make such a hugetransfer out within three days’ time, it’ll cause serious disruption for our business.”
“We don’t need to worry about those issues for now.” Benjamin replied, “Just do as I say. I want to seethe money in my bank account in three days.”
“Understood.” Dennis dabbed a handkerchief lightly against his sweaty forehead.
At the same time, inside the building of the Adelmar Group.
“What?! 300 million dollars?!”
