Female Novel
Chapter 124
Lilian felt hopeless when she first saw Casper’s expression. She didn’t want to be the reason he gothurt, but to her surprise, he dealt with the three kidnappers easily.
She couldn’t stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks when she turned to Casper again. Crystalclear droplets rolled down one after another. She finally let go of all the fear and anxiety she had beenexperiencing all the while.
She cried out loud as if she was trying to get all those negative emotions out of her system.
Casper’s heart broke when he saw Lilian crying like that. A dainty lady like that was treated so poorlybecause of me…
Ah, I almost forgot. I haven’t learned who the mastermind behind this incident is. Just you wait. I willrepay all your “kindness” once I find out who you are, thought Casper as his gaze turned cruel.
He stroked Lillian’s shoulder and spoke comforting words for quite a while before Lilian’s emotionsfinally settled down.
Hmm… Why is her face turning red, though? Casper got confused about that.
Lilian’s face was slowly turning crimson, while her ears looked as red and delicate as a tomato. Seeingthat, Casper suddenly had the urge to step forward and bite on it a little.
Just when he was thinking about that, however, Lilian spoke.
“Can you put your clothes on now?” Her tone was meek.
Even though she was a lively, young woman, seeing Casper half-naked and cooing her like that stillmade her blush.
Naturally, it wasn’t just because he made things awkward. That position and state would get anywoman to blush because it was simply too much.
Casper felt awkward as well. He turned a corner and quickly put on the clothes he put aside earlier.
When he returned, he saw that her expression had changed.
Lilian’s gaze turned sweet, warm, and pure, with a hint of admiration as she stared at him.
Casper sighed upon seeing that. I knew it. She is sinking deeper. Unfortunately, he couldn’t ignore orabandon Lilian either.
With Lilian’s emotions stabilizing, Casper could finally take the time to interrogate the three kidnappers.
He dragged one of them over and kicked the guy until the latter regained consciousness.
Casper grinned at all three kidnappers and said, “However much the mastermind promised you, I willtriple the offer and give it to the first one to tell me who the mastermind is. I will even let that personwalk out of here just like that.
“As for the others… Well, I’m sure you know that we’re in an unfriendly neighborhood now, and no onewill alert the police even if something were to happened.
“That makes it, oh, so easy, for me to cripple you.
“I’d kill you, but death is hardly the worst punishment. A life worse than death is much crueler. Alrightthen, which one of you would like to experience that?” asked Casper as he grinned.
“Hah, do you even know how much was offered? And here you are saying that you’ll triple the offer?Please. I can cut you up, sell your organs, and I still won’t get that much money!” replied one of thekidnappers.
He didn’t think that Casper could actually pay up.
“How much was it? A million? Two?”
The kidnapper laughed like he had just heard an incredible joke. He dissed, “A million? Take a look atyourself in the mirror, punk. You are not worth that much. We’re given a hundred and fifty thousandeach. That’s four hundred and fifty thousand in total. If you can match that, I will go on my knees rightaway!”
Judging a book by its cover will inevitably cost one dearly in the future. thought Casper. He had nointention of helping or giving the kidnappers any advice, though, so he simply kept quiet.
They lived in a world where the strong fed on the weak, anyway, so there was no point in sayinganything.
“You don’t need to care about that. Just tell me who the mastermind is, and I will pay up,” said Casper.
“Why should I trust you? How can you prove that you will pay up after we tell you what you want toknow?” asked another kidnapper, who had been keeping quiet until that moment.
“Is this proof sufficient?” asked Casper before he fished a black credit card out of his possession.
“I’m sure you know what this card represents, right?” asked Casper.
“How do we know that that’s legit? If you really have the money, why would you dress like a pauper?This is not a fairy tale, and rich dudes don’t act like poor saps just to experience something new,”dissed the kidnapper who spoke up earlier. He simply could not buy a word Casper said.
“Well, if you don’t believe me even after all that, then I guess there is nothing for us to talk about. I haveno choice but to go to the extreme to make you lot talk. You see, I may not be able to make you believethat I have the money, but I can definitely prove how heavy my fists are,” said Casper.
He didn’t really care one way or another. The thugs not buying his words simply meant that he didn’tneed to spend that money.
Besides, we live in a world where no one will ever complain about having too much money.
Casper didn’t think that they would be that persistent in keeping the mastermind’s identity a secret.They’re only after the money, I doubt they would actually sacrifice themselves just to protect themastermind.
“Guess I have no choice but to beat the answer out of you one by one,” said Casper after sighing alittle.
“Wait,” said the kidnapper who had been keeping quiet earlier. “I believe you. I will tell you who themastermind is if you pay me. After that, you can let me go. I promise I won’t say a word of this toanyone else.”
“Oh, really? Why?” asked Casper curiously. He wanted to know why the quiet kidnapper would believehis words just like that.
Casper knew that his offer was great, but he wasn’t really trying to convince them, so the way he spokewasn’t very reassuring.
Discrimination was rooted in the core of everyone’s heart, and that discrimination would turn most intoignorant idiots.
It was rare to see someone that interesting, and Casper was curious about what the guy was thinking.
“My instinct’s telling me that you’re not a liar. You are too proud to lie like that, anyway. Now that thingshave progressed to this extent, and the fact that we’ve already been defeated, it is not necessary foryou to make an offer. Yet, you did,” said the guy.
Casper raised his brows. Meeting the guy suddenly made Casper felt like he didn’t waste a trip over.
“Huh… Interesting. What’s your bank account number?”
“6216******”
Casper fished his phone out and tapped into it. A few seconds later, the kidnapper’s phone beeped.The latter had received a notification.
The bank had sent a message over.
Upon receiving the text, the kidnapper answered, “The person who hired us is a woman. Her surnameis Taylor, and she looked young, but I don’t have a full name. I heard that she’s a student at BusinessUniversity, though.
“She wants us to use your girlfriend to take some embarrassing videos of you and send them to her.She also asked us to cripple you.novelbin
“That’s all I know.”
Casper asked, “What’s your name?”
“Jeremy.”
“Okay, Jeremy. You may leave. Hurry over to the hospital now.”
“Okay,” replied Jeremy before he staggered away.
They were at a place where no one would call the cops even if they saw someone get hurt. Hence, itwas a safe haven for criminals to be their natural, evil selves.
Truth was, Casper had a good feeling about Jeremy. If the latter hadn’t done something as vile askidnapping Lilian, Casper would’ve really considered being his friend.
I have always kept my word. Since I’ve let Jeremy go, I can’t let the other two off the hook.
Casper turned to them and asked, “Which one of you would like to go first? I’ll make it easier for him.”
