Chapter 729 Outright Purchase
Holding that thought, Haruko no longer felt any fear. She was ready to sacrifice her own life for thesake of her family.
No matter how Alex was going to threaten her, there was no way he could recover the divine pills fromTakeshi.novelbin
This is a wonderful opportunity to elevate the Tokugawa family’s reputation further.
Fearlessly holding Alex’s gaze, she retorted, “So what? As of now, my brother is about to reachJetroina. It’s already too late, even if you’ve found out about it.”
“Is that so? Do you really not plan on returning to Jetroina alive? I don’t understand how you think. Sowhat if the Tokugawa family gains from it? While they are celebrating their success, you are throwingyour life away here for nothing. Come to think of it, I do feel sad for you.” Alex plainly explained.
Behind the sympathetic look he gave her, he thought of her as a fool.
Meanwhile, Haruko’s expression darkened. She was willing to die for her family because she wastaught that way since she was a child.
However, when she heard Alex’s words, her previously strong conviction began to waver.
After all, what she faced wasn’t a quick death. Instead, she had to suffer from being assaulted by morethan ten men. Furthermore, she didn’t know what other methods Alex was going to torture her with.
Besides, it wasn’t like she had to accomplish her mission. More importantly, she had a bright future infront of her still. She was only in her twenties and was already skilled in mixed martial arts.
Being seen as a rare mixed martial arts genius, she was confident of beating Alex if only she had a fewmore years to train.
“In that case, what do you want in return for my release?” Haruko probed.
Just as expected, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves for someone else’s glory. Even Haruko’sfaith was shaken.
However, Alex didn’t mock Haruko’s sudden change of heart. Instead, he plainly remarked, “It’s too lateto do anything now that your side has stolen the divine pills.”
“If you’re willing to release me, I’ll give my brother a call and tell him to return the pills to you.” Harukoquickly offered.
Alex scoffed, “Haruko, do you take me for a fool? Now that the divine pills are on a flight there, I’m sureTokugawa Pharmaceutical has the necessary equipment to test its ingredients. Am I right?”
Haruko felt lost when Alex saw through her ruse. Since bringing the pills back isn’t going to work, whatdoes he truly want to do?
“Why don’t you give me a price? I will buy the divine pills instead. Will you release me in that case?”That was the only solution Haruko could come up with.
“Ten billion!” Alex quipped.
Ten billion! Haruko was shocked.
It’s just a pill to cure paralysis. And yet, this greedy b*stard wants to sell it to me for ten billion?
Suddenly, she remembered their bet, and she quickly understood why Alex wanted ten billion from her.
Given that the bet was for the same amount, she figured that Alex wanted her to pay up.
“Ten billion is just too much. Furthermore, I’m not the one who makes decision at TokugawaPharmaceutical. Hence, there’s no way I can gather so much money.”
Alex replied with a smile, “Ms. Haruko, I am being gracious by not mentioning the previous ten billionyou owe me for the bet. Furthermore, you have already taken the divine pills back with you. By then,you will be able to test for all its ingredients with your equipment. Therefore, the ten billion I speak of isfor the outright purchase of the divine pills.”
