“A fund transfer, of course! Do you think I’m an idiot? If I am seen carrying so much cash with me, I’m going to get arrested!” Brandon’s face was full of skepticism.

He watched Casper intently. If Casper committed a single misstep, Brandon would not hesitate to crush him.

“I’ll transfer the funds to you, then. What’s your bank account number? I’ll transfer a million to you,” Casper replied coolly. He opened his mobile banking app and looked at Brandon expectantly.

Brandon eyed the luminous screen on Casper’s phone. Even from a distance, he could clearly see the bank’s logo displayed across the top of the screen. Reassured that Casper was not deceiving him, Brandon let his guard down slightly.

“It’s six-two…” Brandon rattled off the string of numbers that comprised his bank account number.

Brandon resolved to commence negotiations only upon receiving the one million. Casper was a wealthy fellow, and Brandon was determined to milk him for as much as possible. After all, Brandon had not agreed on the conditions to let Casper go. While Casper was still transferring the million to Brandon’s account, the latter had already set his sights on Casper’s exclusive black card.

When Brandon had wrung Casper dry, he would murder him to avoid leaving a trail. There would be other opportunities for Brandon to return and slowly recover the treasure.

The idea was an alluring one. Brandon felt his spirits lift instantly, and a smile lurked unconsciously near the corners of his mouth as he reveled in his fantasy.

“Stop! You b*stard, you evil fellow! Who asked you to pay my ransom? How am I supposed to repay you?” Before Brandon could finish reciting his bank account number, Mandy had let out a loud howl of rage.

Mandy had finally realized who the man standing before her was. It was Felix’s roommate, the man who rumors said had donated a million without batting an eyelid. The fretful thought now clamored in Mandy’s mind: Even if this man successfully ransoms me, how am I ever going to pay him back? I’ll be in his debt forever!
